Comment-only. No compiled code changes -- the sole non-comment diff line moves
a trailing comment off the g_mmx6_hostside declaration into a block above it;
the declaration itself is byte-identical.
A survey of the mmx6-named widescreen symbols found the existing comments
misleading in a way that invites a dangerous cleanup, so the findings are
recorded in the source next to the code they describe.
1. "Compatibility entry points for already-generated MMX6 sources" (gpu.h) was
wrong. These are not MMX6 compat shims and are not safe to delete. They are
the widescreen-2D entry points the recompiler emits for ANY title with a
[widescreen.bg2d] block, and live generated code in several non-MMX6 repos
links them today:
cols/startcol/startx/stream_left/stream_right
-> CrashBash, MegaManX5, Tsumu (+ -release)
undercap
-> Ape, CrashBash, MMX4, MMX5, Tsumu, Vigilante8, THPS2
Each forwards to its psx_ws_bg2d_* twin, which is the real implementation.
Only the name is historical. Renaming is not runtime-only: the names come
from code_generator.cpp, which is in codegen_hash_sources.cmake, so it rolls
the overlay cache tag and forces regen + reshard of every title.
2. Host-side reveal (g_mmx6_hostside) is dead in every shipping build, which
the previous "kept inert pending removal" note understated. Nothing sets it
but the mmx6_reveal debug command, PSX_DEBUG_TOOLS is OFF for Release, and
no generated source anywhere references a host-side symbol. Noted that
removing it is the last step decoupling the generic psx_ws_bg2d_* API from
MMX6 -- mmx6_hostside_active() is currently embedded in the ternaries of
psx_ws_bg2d_cols/startcol/startx -- and listed the symbols that go with it.
3. BG buffer relocation is a parked FEATURE behind a load-bearing SYMBOL, a
distinction the old comment did not draw. With g_mmx6_reloc == 0 both hooks
return their argument unchanged, but MegaManX6Recomp/game.toml names the
bufbase/cap instruction sites, so the emitter writes calls into generated
code and psx_ws_mmx6_bg_bufbase is genuinely called by MMX6's generated C.
The supportable cleanup is to gut the bodies to identity and keep the
symbols, not to delete the functions.
Removal of (2) and (3) is deliberately deferred: it touches the renderer and
wants its own session with MMX6 revalidation.
Verified: gcc -fsyntax-only on gpu.c exits clean (an earlier draft embedded
"*/" inside a block comment and broke the parse -- caught before commit);
ctest 29/29 green.
