Avoids needing to iterate and append the characters in one case. This also
alters the function to not need to construct a temporary std::string
(QString's toUtf8() is sufficient, as QByteArray exposes iterators).
toStdString() is equivalent to retrieving the QString's underlying
QByteArray via calling QString's .toUtf8 member function and then
calling .toStdString() on the result of it (discarding the QByteArray
afterwords), so this just trims off an unnecessary step in the process.
This is also somewhat more indicative of the conversions going on:
toStdString() converts the underlying character sequence of a
QString to UTF-8, not strict ASCII, so we're really using a superset of
ASCII.
Also move it to MathUtils where it belongs with the rest of the
power-of-two functions. This gets rid of pollution of the current scope
of any translation unit with b<value> macros that aren't intended to be
used directly.
Change SettingsHandler to take a buffer instead of assuming that the
setting file to read is always on the host filesystem for more
flexibility and make it possible to use the new filesystem interface.
Given bit conversions between types are quite common in emulation
(particularly when it comes to floating-point among other things) it
makes sense to provide a utility function that keeps all the boilerplate
contained; especially considering it makes it harder to accidentally
misuse std::memcpy (such as accidentally transposing arguments, etc).
Another benefit of this function is that it doesn't require separating
declarations from assignments, allowing variables to be declared const.
This makes the scenario of of uninitialized variables being used less
likely to occur.
Keeps them all next to each other and deduplicates a few constants,
notably the PPC UIDs. Apparently I forgot that I already added them
for SetupStreamKey.
As of VS 15.7, these seem to have been removed. Given we shouldn't have
been using these for some time, just replace them with the standard
library equivalent.
This fixes building on Windows with VS 15.7
It was off by about 8 years because it was actually the same as the GC epoch, however, the reason it worked all this time was because the default RTC counter bias of the Wii was not 0, but a value that is about 8 years in seconds. This broke custom RTC as a custom RTC of the gc epoch was underflowing b ecause the wii epoch was thought to be much later.
