The std::string generation with its malloc and free requirement
was a noticeable overhead. Also switch to an ordered_map to
avoid the std::hash call. As those maps usually have a size of
two elements, the lookup time shall not matter.
The follow-up to e2457418da, which
replaces most of the includes in the core header with forward declarations.
This makes it so that if any of the headers the core header was
previously including change, then no one will need to rebuild the bulk
of the core, due to core.h being quite a prevalent inclusion.
This should make turnaround for changes much faster for developers.
core.h is kind of a massive header in terms what it includes within
itself. It includes VFS utilities, kernel headers, file_sys header,
ARM-related headers, etc. This means that changing anything in the
headers included by core.h essentially requires you to rebuild almost
all of core.
Instead, we can modify the System class to use the PImpl idiom, which
allows us to move all of those headers to the cpp file and forward
declare the bulk of the types that would otherwise be included, reducing
compile times. This change specifically only performs the PImpl portion.
Given std::vector is a type with a non-trivial destructor, this
variable cannot be optimized away by the compiler, even if unused.
Because of that, something that was intended to be fairly lightweight,
was actually allocating 32KB and deallocating it at the end of the
function.
Makes the class interface consistent and provides accessors for
obtaining a reference to the memory manager instance.
Given we also return references, this makes our more flimsy uses of
const apparent, given const doesn't propagate through pointers in the
way one would typically expect. This makes our mutable state more
apparent in some places.
While convenient as a std::array, it's also quite a large set of data as
well (32KB). It being an array also means data cannot be std::moved. Any
situation where the code is being set or relocated means that a full
copy of that 32KB data must be done.
If we use a std::vector we do need to allocate on the heap, however, it
does allow us to std::move the data we have within the std::vector into
another std::vector instance, eliminating the need to always copy the
program data (as std::move in this case would just transfer the pointers
and bare necessities over to the new vector instance).
