(menu_displaylist.c) Some optimizations:
* Make sure val_d is never bigger than 16, it should just
contain a number. 16 is more than plenty (and probably too big even)
* Hose val_d out of loops if its value never changes inside the loop
* Attempt to avoid calling msg_hash_to_str inside loops unnecessarily
(snprintf) Try to reduce or simplify snprintf calls, only tend to
use it for processing integers/numbers and avoid it for regular
string concatenation (NOTE: we try to be a bit safer about it to
address earlier cited criticism, although we don't consider concatenating
3 or 4 characters at the end to be insecure)
(msg_hash_to_str) Try to avoid duplicate calls to the same localized
string when we can just cache the results once instead locally
file path names instead of snprintf
(ctr_gfx.c) Use strlcpy instead of snprintf where possible
(ctr_gfx.c) Use snprintf instead of sprintf where possible
(ctr_gfx.c) Some general style nits
* steam.c - cleanups:
* Use string_to_lower from libretro-common/stdstring.c instead of
its own version
* Some stylistic changes
* Rewrite strncpy calls into strlcpy/strlcat/manual assignment
* Make it C89 compliant
* Some unused variables
Reasons:
1 - Just a macro for strcpy
1.2 - doesn't have a return type unlike strlcpy, can't be used
for string concatenation
1.3 - unsafe compared to strlcpy
Do either manual string assignment per character or strlcpy, no
inbetween by resorting to strcpy
(retroarch.c) retroarch_get_capabilities - get rid of strlcat
party in RARCH_CAPABILITIES_CPU, do simple manual assignment for
concatenation instead and NULL terminate at the end
(menu_displaylist.c) Do something about some of the unnecessarily huge
local strings of PATH_MAX_LENGTH size (can be as large as 8192)
(menu_displaylist.c) Replace some trivial strlcats / snprintfs
(D3D10/D3D11/D3D12) Strings don't need to be initialized -
strlcpy already null-terminates - get rid of some constants
- (database_info.c) Optimizations for database_info_build_query_enum() -
it would call strlcat at the very least 3 times, normally more than that.
Every strlcat call is at least one or more strlens. Reduce it all down
to manual string concatenation and one strlcat
- (database_info_build_query_enum) - always NULL terminates string so no need for NULL termination done by callee
* (menu_displaylist) use smaller strings for basename paths, remove one unnecessary string
in menu_displaylist.c function
- (disk_index_file.c) Avoid another trivial string concatenation by doing
it manually after fill_pathname_join_special
- (fill_pathname_join_delim) since fill_pathname_join_delim() now has a return value, use it for
string concatenation
- (platform_unix) - Use BUFSIZ as size for a buffer in system_property_get
- some other trivial strlcat usage replacements
(menu_contentless_cores) Fix mistake - needed to set len to return
value of fill_pathname_join_special
(configuration.c) Fix some unused variable warnings on Linux
CyberLab custom Blargg NTSC Filter Presets offer improved dedithering with less scrolling, shimmering and other artifacts than current core included Blargg NTSC Filter implementations.
They also work properly with several cores that would otherwise result in a squished image if using the Blargg NTSC SNES filters currently available in the Video Filters folder.
as deprecated.
* Use fill_pathname_join_special in the vast majority of cases where
we can ensure out_path is a new empty string
* Get rid of some extension concatenation with strlcat where encountered
* Some general cleanups with NULL termination of strings that get immediately
passed to strlcpy/strlcpy-adjacent functions
* struct was erroneously named 'catagory' - changed to 'category'
* Removed some strlcpys that were just setting the string to a fixed constant value
* Random nits
