# Guidelines
## License Headers
All commits must have proper license header accreditation.
You can easily add all necessary license headers by running:
```sh
git fetch origin master:master
FIX=true COMMIT=true .ci/license-header.sh
git push
```
Alternatively, you may omit `COMMIT=true` and do an amend commit:
```sh
git fetch origin master:master
FIX=true .ci/license-header.sh
git commit --amend -a --no-edit
```
2025-09-18 02:37:02 +02:00
If the work is licensed/vendored from other people or projects, you may omit the license headers. Additionally, if you wish to retain authorship over a piece of code, you may attribute it to yourself; however, the code may be changed at any given point and brought under the attribution of Eden.

## Pull Requests
Pull requests are only to be merged by core developers when properly tested and discussions conclude on Discord or other communication channels. Labels are recommended but not required. However, all PRs MUST be namespaced and optionally typed:
```
[cmake] refactor: CPM over submodules
[desktop] feat: implement firmware install from ZIP
[hle] stub fw20 functions
[core] test: raise maximum CPU cores to 6
2025-08-04 18:48:32 +02:00
[cmake, core] Unbreak FreeBSD Building Process
2025-07-30 03:40:45 -04:00
```
2025-08-04 18:48:32 +02:00
- The level of namespacing is generally left to the committer's choice.
- However, we never recommend going more than two levels *except* in `hle` , in which case you may go as many as four levels depending on the specificity of your changes.
2025-09-18 02:37:02 +02:00
- Ocassionally, up to two additional namespaces may be provided for more clarity.
2025-08-04 18:48:32 +02:00
* Changes that affect the entire project (sans CMake changes) should be namespaced as `meta` .
- Maintainers are permitted to change namespaces at will.
- Commits within PRs are not required to be namespaced, but it is highly recommended.
# IDE setup
## VSCode
Copy this to `.vscode/settings.json` , get CMake tools and it should be ready to build:
```json
{
"editor.tabSize": 4,
"files.watcherExclude": {
"**/target": true
},
"files.associations": {
"*.inc": "cpp"
},
"git.enableCommitSigning": true,
"git.alwaysSignOff": true
}
```
You may additionally need the `Qt Extension Pack` extension if building Qt.

# Build speedup
2025-07-24 18:42:14 +02:00
If you have an HDD, use ramdisk (build in RAM):
```sh
sudo mkdir /tmp/ramdisk
sudo chmod 777 /tmp/ramdisk
2025-08-04 18:48:32 +02:00
# about 8GB needed
sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=8G myramdisk /tmp/ramdisk
2025-07-24 18:42:14 +02:00
cmake -B /tmp/ramdisk
cmake --build /tmp/ramdisk -- -j32
sudo umount /tmp/ramdisk
```

## Debugging (host code)
Ignoring SIGSEGV when debugging in host:
- **gdb**: `handle all nostop pass` .
- **lldb**: `pro hand -p true -s false -n false SIGSEGV` .
## Debugging (guest code)

### gdb
2025-07-24 18:42:14 +02:00
Run `./build/bin/eden-cli -c <path to your config file (see logs where you run eden normally to see where it is)> -d -g <path to game>`
Then hook up an aarch64-gdb (use `yay aarch64-gdb` or `sudo pkg in arch64-gdb` to install)
Then type `target remote localhost:1234` and type `c` (for continue) - and then if it crashes just do a `bt` (backtrace) and `layout asm` .
### gdb cheatsheet
2025-08-27 06:49:50 +02:00
- `mo <cmd>` : Monitor commands, `get info` , `get fastmem` and `get mappings` are available. Type `mo help` for more info.
2025-07-24 18:42:14 +02:00
- `detach` : Detach from remote (i.e restarting the emulator).
- `c` : Continue
- `p <expr>` : Print variable, `p/x <expr>` for hexadecimal.
- `r` : Run
- `bt` : Print backtrace
- `info threads` : Print all active threads
- `thread <number>` : Switch to the given thread (see `info threads` )
- `layout asm` : Display in assembly mode (TUI)
- `si` : Step assembly instruction
- `s` or `step` : Step over LINE OF CODE (not assembly)
- `display <expr>` : Display variable each step.
- `n` : Next (skips over call frame of a function)
- `frame <number>` : Switches to the given frame (from `bt` )
- `br <expr>` : Set breakpoint at `<expr>` .
- `delete` : Deletes all breakpoints.
- `catch throw` : Breakpoint at throw. Can also use `br __cxa_throw`
2025-08-15 04:12:45 +02:00
- `br _mesa_error` : Break on mesa errors (set environment variable `MESA_DEBUG=1` beforehand), see [MESA_DEBUG ](https://mesa-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/debugging.html ).
2025-07-24 18:42:14 +02:00
Expressions can be `variable_names` or `1234` (numbers) or `*var` (dereference of a pointer) or `*(1 + var)` (computed expression).
For more information type `info gdb` and read [the man page ](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/gdb.1.html ).

# Bisecting older commits
2025-07-24 18:42:14 +02:00
Since going into the past can be tricky (especially due to the dependencies from the project being lost thru time). This should "restore" the URLs for the respective submodules.
```sh
2025-08-04 18:48:32 +02:00
#!/bin/sh -e

If having issues with older artifacts, then run `rm -r externals/dynarmic/build externals/dynarmic/externals externals/nx_tzdb/tzdb_to_nx/externals externals/sirit/externals` .
Configuring CMake with `-DSIRIT_USE_SYSTEM_SPIRV_HEADERS=1 -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Wno-error" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-Wno-error -Wno-array-parameter -Wno-stringop-overflow"` is also recommended.
