Guidelines

License Headers

All commits must have proper license header accreditation.

You can easily add all necessary license headers by running:

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:

git fetch origin master:master
FIX=true .ci/license-header.sh
git commit --amend -a --no-edit

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

The level of namespacing is generally left to the committer's choice, but 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. Developers are permitted to change namespaces at will. Commits within PRs are not required to be namespaced, but it is highly recommended.

Building speedup

If you have an HDD, use ramdisk (build in RAM):

sudo mkdir /tmp/ramdisk
sudo chmod 777 /tmp/ramdisk
# about 10GB needed
sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=10G myramdisk /tmp/ramdisk
cmake -B /tmp/ramdisk
cmake --build /tmp/ramdisk -- -j32
sudo umount /tmp/ramdisk

How to test JIT

gdb

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

• mo <cmd>: Monitor commands, get info, get fastmem and get mappings are available.
• 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

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.

Bisecting older commits

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.

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.
