yzct12345 3641b9891d logging: Simplify and make thread-safe
This simplifies the logging system.

This also fixes some lost messages on startup.

The simplification is simple. I removed unused functions and moved most things in the .h to the .cpp. I replaced the unnecessary linked list with its contents laid out as three member variables. Anything that went through the linked list now directly accesses the backends. Generic functions are replaced with those for each specific use case and there aren't many. This change increases coupling but we gain back more KISS and encapsulation.

With those changes it was easy to make it thread-safe. I just removed the mutex and turned a boolean atomic. I was planning to use this thread-safety in my next PR about stacktraces. It was actually async-signal-safety at first but I ended up using a different approach. Anyway getting rid of the linked list is important for that because have the list of backends constantly changing complicates things.

Compatibility

The emulator is capable of running most commercial games at full speed, provided you meet the necessary hardware requirements.

For a full list of games Citra supports, please visit our Compatibility page

Check out our website for the latest news on exciting features, progress reports, and more! Please read the FAQ before getting started with the project.

Need help? Check out our asking for help guide.

Releases

Citra has two main release channels: Nightly and Canary.

The Nightly build is based on the master branch, and contains already reviewed and tested features.

The Canary build is based on the master branch, but with additional features still under review. PRs tagged canary-merge are merged only into the Canary builds.

Both builds can be installed with the installer provided on the website, but those looking for specific versions or standalone releases can find them in the release tabs of the Nightly and Canary repositories.

Android builds can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.

A Flatpak for Citra is available on Flathub. Details on the build process can be found in our Flathub repository.

Development

Most of the development happens on GitHub. It's also where our central repository is hosted. For development discussion, please join us on our Discord server or at #citra-dev on libera.

If you want to contribute please take a look at the Contributor's Guide and Developer Information. You can also contact any of the developers on Discord in order to know about the current state of the emulator.

If you want to contribute to the user interface translation, please check out the Citra project on transifex. We centralize the translation work there, and periodically upstream translations.

Building
