Would this have any effect on regular users? Any GUI or configuration process differences? |

Braces should be on the next line |

Okay, I made those changes. I'm not sure if I put the big comment in the right spot in Pipes.h. |

| #include <map> | ||
| #include <string> | ||
| #include <sys/stat.h> |

Sorry about the plethora of style issues, by the way. I copied bits and pieces from the evdev and Android interfaces, which have some style issues that I should've noticed and avoided. |

Currently only works on unix, but can be extended to other systems. Can also be extended to do wiimotes. Searches the Pipes folder for readable named pipes and creates a dolphin input device out of them. Send controller inputs to the game by writing to the file. Commands are described in Pipes.h.

@dolphin-emu-bot rebuild This looks good to me. |
Implemented GC Controller inputs via named pipes.
When we look for controllers, Pipes::Init scans the Pipes folder in the user directory for readable, nonblocking files. For those it finds, it creates ciface::Devices out of them. Users can then send controller inputs to the devices by writing to the files. This is much simpler than, e.g. making a uinput device. The commands are described in Pipes.h.
This approach can be extended to wiimotes. You can also pipe data from a socket into the file with netcat or similar.
Only works on unix systems so far, since Windows has a different named pipes interface. Not a big deal to port, but I don't have a Windows box atm. Try it out by making a named pipe in a folder called Pipes in the user directory (mkfifo filename), refresh dolphin controller entries, pick the pipe, and then run
