Add some timing functions so that we can know the time (woo-hoo?)
I use errno here, which worries me a bit. I wouldn't put it past
devkitPPC to have it as a null pointer or something.
Can confirm this makes XMB's clock work, much to @cucholix's delight;
I'm sure ;D
== DETAILS
We're trying to track down the source of crashes when switching cores.
To rule out the HID code, this commit does the following:
- Wraps the library imports in an ifdef
- Wraps the object files in conditionals in Makefile.wiiu
- In wiiu_joypad, calls into the hidpad driver are wrapped in ifdef
== TESTING
This didn't solve the "System memory error" crash I've been experiencing.
But, maybe it will impact the other flavors of crashes others are seeing.
== DETAILS
Starting to implement the I/O handling on the HID driver.
The old implementation basically had a never-ending HIDRead() callback
set up, so that callback N would start the read process for invocation
N+1.
We will take the same approach here; but now that the I/O thread is
happenning on its own core, we should be able to let it run full-
throttle without impacting emulator performance.
Of course, this hinges on the callback actually running on the same
core as the syscall was initiated on.
== TESTING
Can confirm that the read_loop_callback gets invoked on the same core
that the HIDRead() was invoked on.
Allow using the Gamepad's touch screen as a RETRO_DEVICE_POINTER.
Methodology could use some work, had to add an extra axis to
joypad in order to get the data transferred into the input driver.
Feel free to change this.
Needs to emulate RETRO_DEVICE_LIGHTGUN to really be useful.
Potential for Wiimote IR in future.
