These files use std::function, std::map, std::deque, std::unique_ptr or std::string_view and got
the header through others, which MSVC's standard library doesn't always do.
The core and the headless tools no longer use mutexes, condition variables,
spinlocks, std::atomic, std::thread or volatile flags. Threads hand off through
libretro-common's retro_atomic and rthreads plus a few small pieces on top of
them in Common/Thread: Thread, MpscQueue, EventCounter, ParkingLot waits and
ReaderGate. Every wait blocks until it's woken; nothing polls on a timer.
State that only one thread touches just loses its lock. The PSP filesystem,
sceIo and the savedata dialog now belong to the emulation thread: async reads
and writes run when they're queued and complete later in emulated time, and
the IO and savedata threads are gone. The friend finder only talks to the
adhoc server and hands what it gets to the emulation thread. GPU init always
runs on the thread that starts the game.
The Vulkan render and compile queues, pipeline and render pass caches, delete
list and SPIR-V cache, the GL render queue, the software renderer's jit caches,
the file loader caches, the web debugger, UPnP, input, savestates, logging and
the GE debugger all hand off through queues and atomics. The IR jit's spinning
profiler thread goes.
A CPU thread with nothing to run now sleeps until work is queued instead of
spinning. Headless with --debugger waits for a client while stopped, and ends
the run once every client that connected has left. Web server shutdown keeps
servicing the CPU queue until the server has finished.
The libretro core is the frontend, and the headless tools are the test and
debugging hosts. The Windows, UWP, Android, iOS, macOS and SDL apps, the UI
framework and imgui go, along with what only they used: the Win32 debugger
hooks (g_frameMutex, the shutdown lock), JNI thread attachment, the Android
text drawer, RAIntegration, Discord, recent files, game installs, tilt input,
the audio resamplers, the control mapper, memstick moving and the remote ISO
and upload server modes. The web server keeps the debugger. The MSVC, Gradle
and ndk-build projects go too.
VulkanGraphicsContext::InitSurface() threw away VulkanContext::InitSurface()'s
VkResult and carried on, so a failed surface init surfaced as
_dbg_assert_(GetAvailablePresentModes().size() > 0) in the VKContext
constructor rather than as a graphics error with the usual backend fallback.
The vkCreate*SurfaceKHR failure path in ReinitSurface() didn't log anything
either, so the assert was the only trace of it.
Now ReinitSurface() logs and sets init_error_ for all three ways it can bail
(surface creation, ChooseQueue, present mode enumeration), InitSurface()
checks the result, and MainThreadFunc() passes the message back out instead of
writing it to a local it then drops - Windows/main.cpp was reporting
"Failed to initialize main thread function." to the user.
Also deletes the Application on that failure path, which was leaked.
