[PS4] OpenOrbis-PS4-Toolchain 0.5 de Specter

Playstation 3 / 4

Specter vient de dévoiler une nouvelle version 0.5 d'OpenOrbis-PS4-Toolchain, et encore une fois il y de nombreux changements d'effectués par le développeur dans cette sixième release.

Pour rappel, la Toolchain est un ensemble d'outils qui permet aux développeurs de construire des fichiers ELFs sans avoir à utiliser le SDK officiel de Sony, ainsi seuls des outils libres de droit sont nécessaires pour réaliser un homebrew. La façon de les lancer reste la même à savoir passer par l'exploit kernel.

Cette version apporte de nombreuses évolutions, avec notamment 7858% de boost de performance dans create-eboot, mais aussi des optimisations pour le C++ et des changements sur Mira.

A noter que sleirsgoevy participe activement à ce projet, tout comme ChendoChap ou encore kiwidog.

Changelog v0.5 :

- The toolchain now includes stub/empty libc and libSceFios2 modules to avoid breaking non-homebrew games and applications!

Note: This change works in conjunction with Mira, meaning you'll want to update the version of Mira you're loading as well.

Additional note: these modules can be found in /bin/data/modules/libc.prx and /bin/data/modules/libSceFios2.prx, and should be placed in sce_module/ in your homebrew's package file.

- SDL2 headers as well as a mini game sample have now been added (thanks znullptr for the original SDL port)!

- C++ threading (std::thread) support has been added!

- C++ locking / synchronization support has been added!

- Fixed a performance issue in create-eboot, giving it a 7858% performance boost (measured with the SDL sample)!

- Visual studio project templates now support and link with C++ by default.

- Added various macros and function definitions to libkernel, libScePad, libSceUserService, and libSceVideoOut, as well as documentation for these additions.

- Added right.prx by IDC to all samples (thanks IDC for right.prx).

- Slightly adjusted sample pkg gp4 files to use the same eboot.bin created by build scripts instead of unnecessarily using a copy.

- Fixed jagged text rendering in /samples/_common/graphics.cpp due to not factoring in the freetype greyscale bitmap alpha properly.

- Buffering is now disabled on stdout automatically due to it not handling buffering well.

- Updated pthread header to use PS4/BSD-specific values.

- Samples now have DWARF / debug symbols included by default (thanks sleirsgoevy).

- Reworked the threading sample to use std::thread and std::mutex now that C++ threading is supported.

- Reworked the networking sample to a TCP server instead of a TCP client.

- Fixed an issue where a really silly FreeBSD change broke any networking functions that need to use the sockaddr struct such as bind.

- Fixed an issue where GP4 project files were using non-portable windows-style path separators (thanks sleirsgoevy).

- Fixed an issue where the non-sce sleep() function didn't work due to a MUSL-related issues (thanks LM, ChendoChap).

- Fixed an issue where SPRX visual studio projects contained a typo in an include statement and an incorrect set of libraries for the build script.

- Fixed the cmath c++ header, which included using statements for functions that are macros on FreeBSD targets (thanks kiwidog).

- Fixed an issue where the sockaddr_in structure was incorrect due to a discrepancy between Linux and FreeBSD (thanks kiwidog).

- Fixed an issue where AF_INET6 was erroneously set to 10 due to a discrepancy between Linux and FreeBSD (thanks sleirsgoevy).
