== DETAILS
Turns out the cause of the crash was a bad cast, resulting in a
function call to nowhere.
Also, I think the DSI exception handler only works on the primary core;
when this was happening in the background thread, I got a black
screen error instead.
Next up: finishing up the GCA driver.
== DETAILS
We're at a point where we need to do more than just
clean up a local data structure, so I've started
implementing the "detach" part of the code so that
everything gets cleaned up properly.
Also, added error handling inside the polling
thread.
== TESTING
Have not tested yet.
== DETAILS
I've created the concept of a hid_driver_instance_t which is basically
a central place to store the hid pad driver, hid subsystem driver,
the pad list, and the instance data for the above in a central location.
The HID pad device drivers can use it to perform HID operations in a
generic manner.
This is more-or-less a pause point so I can catch up with upstream.
== TESTING
Haven't tested this yet. Compiles without warnings though!
== DETAILS
RetroArch's general HID drivers are intended as a full-on substitute for
other input drivers such as XInput, DInput, SDL, etc. The Wii U port is,
to my knowledge, the first case of heterogenous input drivers working
concurrently.
As such, I've moved things around:
- The HID driver source is moved into the wiiu/input/ directory alongside
the joypad subdrivers.
- We no longer use the input_hid_init_first() method to instantiate; instead
we just init the wiiu HID driver directly.
- The HID pad driver and HID subsystem driver enjoy a tighter coupling,
mainly having to do with the initialization of the joypad connections
list, because there's no way to inform the HID driver's init() method
how many slots to allocate.
== TESTING
Will test in a moment, but at least it compiles cleanly. ;)
