In a lot of places throughout the decompiler, string concatenation via
operator+ is used quite heavily. This is usually fine, when not heavily
used, but when used extensively, can be a problem. operator+ creates an
entirely new heap allocated temporary string and given we perform
expressions like:
std::string thing = a + b + c + d;
this ends up with a lot of unnecessary temporary strings being created
and discarded, which kind of thrashes the heap more than we need to.
Given we utilize fmt in some AddLine calls, we can make this a part of
the ShaderWriter's API. We can make an overload that simply acts as a
passthrough to fmt.
This way, whenever things need to be appended to a string, the operation
can be done via a single string formatting operation instead of
discarding numerous temporary strings. This also has the benefit of
making the strings themselves look nicer and makes it easier to spot
errors in them.
Avoids performing copies into the pair being returned. Instead, we can
just move the resources into the pair, avoiding the need to make copies
of both the std::string and ShaderEntries struct.
Given the offset is assigned a fixed value in the constructor, we can
just assign it directly and get rid of the need to write the name of the
variable again in the constructor initializer list.
Given the disk shader cache contains non-trivial types, we should
default it in the cpp file in order to prevent inlining of the
complex destruction logic.
The standard library expects hash specializations that don't throw
exceptions. Make this explicit in the type to allow selection of better
code paths if possible in implementations.
We don't need to load the code into a vector and then construct a string
over the data. We can just create a string with the necessary size ahead
of time, and read the data directly into it, getting rid of an
unnecessary heap allocation.
std::move does nothing when applied to a const variable. Resources can't
be moved if the object is immutable. With this change, we don't end up
making several unnecessary heap allocations and copies.
Booleans don't have a guaranteed size, but we still want to have them
integrate into the disk cache system without needing to actually use a
different type. We can do this by supplying non-template overloads for
the bool type.
Non-template overloads always have precedence during function
resolution, so this is safe to provide.
This gets rid of the need to smatter ternary conditionals, as well as
the need to use u8 types to store the value in.
Instead of asserting on already stored shader variants, silently skip them.
This shouldn't be happening but when a shader is invalidated and it is
not stored in the shader cache, this assert would hit and save that
shader anyways when the asserts are disabled.
flushing is now responsability of children caches instead of the cache
object. This change will allow the specific cache to pass extra
parameters on flushing and will allow more flexibility.
