Similar to what we do for addx. Since we're calculating b - a and
because subtraction is not communitative, we can only apply this when
source register a holds the constant.
Before:
45 8B EE mov r13d,r14d
41 83 ED 08 sub r13d,8
After:
45 8D 6E F8 lea r13d,[r14-8]
We can get away with skipping the addition when we know we're dealing
with a constant zero. Just a MOV will suffice in this case.
Once again, we don't bother to add separate handling for when overflow
is needed, because no titles would ever hit that path during my testing.
Before:
8B 7D F8 mov edi,dword ptr [rbp-8]
83 C7 00 add edi,0
After:
8B 7D F8 mov edi,dword ptr [rbp-8]
ADD has a smaller encoding for immediates that can be expressed as an
8-bit signed integer (in other words, between -128 and 127). MOV lacks
this compact representation.
Since addition allows us to swap the source registers, we can always get
the shortest sequence here by carefully checking if we're dealing with a
small immediate first. If we are, move the other source into the
destination and add the small immediate onto that. For large immediates
the reverse is preferrable.
Before:
41 BE 40 00 00 00 mov r14d,40h
44 03 75 A8 add r14d,dword ptr [rbp-58h]
After:
44 8B 75 A8 mov r14d,dword ptr [rbp-58h]
41 83 C6 40 add r14d,40h
Before:
44 8B 7D F8 mov r15d,dword ptr [rbp-8]
41 81 C7 00 68 00 CC add r15d,0CC006800h
After:
41 BF 00 68 00 CC mov r15d,0CC006800h
44 03 7D F8 add r15d,dword ptr [rbp-8]
When the source registers are a simple register and a constant zero and
overflow isn't needed, emitting LEA is kinda silly.
This will occasionally save a single byte for certain registers due to
how x86 encoding works. More importantly, LEA takes up execution
resources while MOV does not.
Before:
41 8D 7D 00 lea edi,[r13]
After:
41 8B FD mov edi,r13d
When the destination register matches a source register, the other
source register contains zero, and overflow isn't needed, the
instruction becomes a nop and we don't need to emit anything.
We could add specialized handling for the case where overflow is needed,
but none of the titles I tried would hit this path.
Before:
83 C7 00 add edi,0
After:
No functional change, just simplify some repeated logic in the case
where we're dealing with exactly one immediate and one simple register
when overflow isn't needed.
The old logic would always emit LEA when both sources are in a register
and OE is disabled. However, ADD is still preferable when one of the
sources matches the destination.
Before:
45 8D 6C 35 00 lea r13d,[r13+rsi]

"ppcState{}" is stored in the .data segment, which means the full ~4 MB
is stored in the executable.
"ppcState" is stored in the .bss segment, which means it only stores a
note that tells it to allocate and zero ~4 MB at runtime.
This was a huge speedup with disabled fastmem, but it still requires the fastmem arena.
So let's disable it for now, even if this commit has a huge performance hit with disabled fastmem.
Two of these arrays were stored within the save state when the exact
same data is constructed all the time.
We can just build this into the binary rather than the save state,
shrinking a little bit of the save state's overall size.
This will help to disable all inter-instruction dependencies.
So android users can check if only a single instruction is broken without compiling dolphin on their own.
We're allowed (by the standard) to forward declare types within
std::vector, so we can replace direct includes with forward declarations
and then include the types where they're directly needed.
While we're at it, we can remove an unused inclusion of <cstring>, given
nothing in the header uses anything from it. This also revealed an
indirect inclusion, which this also resolves.
Different address spaces can be chosen in the memory view panel.
* Effective (or virtual): Probably the view people mostly want. Address
translation goes through MMU.
* Auxiliary: ARAM address space. Does not display anything in Wii mode.
* Physical: Physical address space. Only supports mem1 and mem2 (wii
mode) so far.
