Originally, we store the search results in a CMemory instance which we then assign to the actual function pointer. CMemory is just a pointer class; we can assign the results directly to the actual function pointer. This commit reduces a lot of code verbosity, and also reduced roughly 2KiB worth of static pointers in the resulting executable. This commit also officially deprecates the support for any GameDLL's below S3 (Season 3), since it makes more sense to port the assets from earlier/later games back to the version this SDK supports.
Moved construction logic to separate method, and call that from constructor instead. When willing to change the entire context on the same object, you can now just call 'InitFromXXXX()'. Previously, a whole new object would be generated and copied into ours, and then deleted again.
Remove the option to disable dynamic init, it was broken anyways as the string was getting constructed, and therefore, dynamic memory could be allocated if string exceeds a certain size where it has to be moved from stack to heap. The only functions we were interested in, while not allocating anything have been made static instead in the last refactor round.
*Use unordered_map to get mpdule sections instead, as this is more performant than comparing strings.
* Removed 'm_SectionName' field from ModuleSections_t, as the unordered map now keeps track of them.
* Removed all extraneous module section copies.
* Renamed 'GetImportedFunction' to 'GetImportedSymbol'.
* Renamed 'GetExportedFunction' to 'GetExportedSymbol'.
*Made a static version of 'GetImportedSymbol' and 'GetExportedSymbol', so it could be used on raw module base addresses.
*Created inlines for getting the DOS and NT headers.
*Improved formatting so the code could be read more easily on a vertical monitor.
This commit significantly reduces output code size, and a noticeable increase in performance. Changes are:
- Removed all extraneous std::string and std::vector copy constructions; use raw pointers instead to boost performance.
- Marked simple getters in CModule inline.
- Marked several functions in CModule const.
- Slightly reordered CModule class.
- 'CMemory::CheckOpCodes' and 'CMemory::Patch' now take a const reference.
