One Copyright Update to rule them all As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump it every year. It seems like only the first year of publication is technically relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication than a hardcoded copyright statement). We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the "exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot Engine contributors). Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".

Fix C# bindings after recent breaking changes Implementation for new Variant types Callable, Signal, StringName. Added support for PackedInt64Array and PackedFloat64Array. Add generation of signal members as events, as well as support for user created signals as events. NOTE: As of now, raising such events will not emit the signal. As such, one must use `EmitSignal` instead of raising the event directly. Removed old ThreadLocal fallback class. It's safe to use thread_local now since it's supported on all minimum versions of compilers we support.

C#: Move marshaling logic and generated glue to C# We will be progressively moving most code to C#. The plan is to only use Mono's embedding APIs to set things at launch. This will make it much easier to later support CoreCLR too which doesn't have rich embedding APIs. Additionally the code in C# is more maintainable and makes it easier to implement new features, e.g.: runtime codegen which we could use to avoid using reflection for marshaling everytime a field, property or method is accessed. SOME NOTES ON INTEROP We make the same assumptions as GDNative about the size of the Godot structures we use. We take it a bit further by also assuming the layout of fields in some cases, which is riskier but let's us squeeze out some performance by avoiding unnecessary managed to native calls. Code that deals with native structs is less safe than before as there's no RAII and copy constructors in C#. It's like using the GDNative C API directly. One has to take special care to free values they own. Perhaps we could use roslyn analyzers to check this, but I don't know any that uses attributes to determine what's owned or borrowed. As to why we maily use pointers for native structs instead of ref/out: - AFAIK (and confirmed with a benchmark) ref/out are pinned during P/Invoke calls and that has a cost. - Native struct fields can't be ref/out in the first place. - A `using` local can't be passed as ref/out, only `in`. Calling a method or property on an `in` value makes a silent copy, so we want to avoid `in`. REGARDING THE BUILD SYSTEM There's no longer a `mono_glue=yes/no` SCons options. We no longer need to build with `mono_glue=no`, generate the glue and then build again with `mono_glue=yes`. We build only once and generate the glue (which is in C# now). However, SCons no longer builds the C# projects for us. Instead one must run `build_assemblies.py`, e.g.: ```sh %godot_src_root%/modules/mono/build_scripts/build_assemblies.py \ --godot-output-dir=%godot_src_root%/bin \ --godot-target=release_debug` ``` We could turn this into a custom build target, but I don't know how to do that with SCons (it's possible with Meson). OTHER NOTES Most of the moved code doesn't follow the C# naming convention and still has the word Mono in the names despite no longer dealing with Mono's embedding APIs. This is just temporary while transitioning, to make it easier to understand what was moved where.

Replace most uses of Map by HashMap * Map is unnecessary and inefficient in almost every case. * Replaced by the new HashMap. * Renamed Map to RBMap and Set to RBSet for cases that still make sense (order matters) but use is discouraged. There were very few cases where replacing by HashMap was undesired because keeping the key order was intended. I tried to keep those (as RBMap) as much as possible, but might have missed some. Review appreciated!

C#: Restructure code prior move to .NET Core The main focus here was to remove the majority of code that relied on Mono's embedding APIs, specially the reflection APIs. The embedding APIs we still use are the bare minimum we need for things to work. A lot of code was moved to C#. We no longer deal with any managed objects (`MonoObject*`, and such) in native code, and all marshaling is done in C#. The reason for restructuring the code and move away from embedding APIs is that once we move to .NET Core, we will be limited by the much more minimal .NET hosting. PERFORMANCE REGRESSIONS ----------------------- Some parts of the code were written with little to no concern about performance. This includes code that calls into script methods and accesses script fields, properties and events. The reason for this is that all of that will be moved to source generators, so any work prior to that would be a waste of time. DISABLED FEATURES ----------------- Some code was removed as it no longer makes sense (or won't make sense in the future). Other parts were commented out with `#if 0`s and TODO warnings because it doesn't make much sense to work on them yet as those parts will change heavily when we switch to .NET Core but also when we start introducing source generators. As such, the following features were disabled temporarily: - Assembly-reloading (will be done with ALCs in .NET Core). - Properties/fields exports and script method listing (will be handled by source generators in the future). - Exception logging in the editor and stack info for errors. - Exporting games. - Building of C# projects. We no longer copy the Godot API assemblies to the project directory, so MSBuild won't be able to find them. The idea is to turn them into NuGet packages in the future, which could also be obtained from local NuGet sources during development.

GDMonoCache::managed_callbacks.DelegateUtils_InvokeWithVariantArgs(
C#: Remove need for reflection to invoking callable delegates We aim to make the C# API reflection-free, mainly for concerns about performance, and to be able to target NativeAOT in refletion-free mode, which reduces the binary size. One of the main usages of reflection still left was the dynamic invokation of callable delegates, and for some time I wasn't sure I would find an alternative solution that I'd be happy with. The new solution uses trampoline functions to invoke the delegates: ``` static void Trampoline(object delegateObj, NativeVariantPtrArgs args, out godot_variant ret) { if (args.Count != 1) throw new ArgumentException($"Callable expected 1 arguments but received {args.Count}."); string res = ((Func<int, string>)delegateObj)( VariantConversionCallbacks.GetToManagedCallback<int>()(args[0]) ); ret = VariantConversionCallbacks.GetToVariantCallback<string>()(res); } Callable.CreateWithUnsafeTrampoline((int num) => "Foo" + num, &Trampoline); ``` Of course, this is too much boilerplate for user code. To improve this, the `Callable.From` methods were added. These are overloads that take `Action` and `Func` delegates, which covers the most common use cases: lambdas and method groups: ``` // Lambda Callable.From((int num) => "Foo" + num); // Method group string AppendNum(int num) => "Foo" + num; Callable.From(AppendNum); ``` Unfortunately, due to limitations in the C# language, implicit conversions from delegates to `Callable` are not supported. `Callable.From` does not support custom delegates. These should be uncommon, but the Godot C# API actually uses them for event signals. As such, the bindings generator was updated to generate trampoline functions for event signals. It was also optimized to use `Action` instead of a custom delegate for parameterless signals, which removes the need for the trampoline functions for those signals. The change to reflection-free invokation removes one of the last needs for `ConvertVariantToManagedObjectOfType`. The only remaining usage is from calling script constructors with parameters from the engine (`CreateManagedForGodotObjectScriptInstance`). Once that one is made reflection-free, `ConvertVariantToManagedObjectOfType` can be removed.

Instead one must run `build_assemblies.py`, e.g.: ```sh %godot_src_root%/modules/mono/build_scripts/build_assemblies.py \ --godot-output-dir=%godot_src_root%/bin \ --godot-target=release_debug` ``` We could turn this into a custom build target, but I don't know how to do that with SCons (it's possible with Meson). OTHER NOTES Most of the moved code doesn't follow the C# naming convention and still has the word Mono in the names despite no longer dealing with Mono's embedding APIs. This is just temporary while transitioning, to make it easier to understand what was moved where.

C#: Remove need for reflection to invoking callable delegates We aim to make the C# API reflection-free, mainly for concerns about performance, and to be able to target NativeAOT in refletion-free mode, which reduces the binary size. One of the main usages of reflection still left was the dynamic invokation of callable delegates, and for some time I wasn't sure I would find an alternative solution that I'd be happy with. The new solution uses trampoline functions to invoke the delegates: ``` static void Trampoline(object delegateObj, NativeVariantPtrArgs args, out godot_variant ret) { if (args.Count != 1) throw new ArgumentException($"Callable expected 1 arguments but received {args.Count}."); string res = ((Func<int, string>)delegateObj)( VariantConversionCallbacks.GetToManagedCallback<int>()(args[0]) ); ret = VariantConversionCallbacks.GetToVariantCallback<string>()(res); } Callable.CreateWithUnsafeTrampoline((int num) => "Foo" + num, &Trampoline); ``` Of course, this is too much boilerplate for user code. To improve this, the `Callable.From` methods were added. These are overloads that take `Action` and `Func` delegates, which covers the most common use cases: lambdas and method groups: ``` // Lambda Callable.From((int num) => "Foo" + num); // Method group string AppendNum(int num) => "Foo" + num; Callable.From(AppendNum); ``` Unfortunately, due to limitations in the C# language, implicit conversions from delegates to `Callable` are not supported. `Callable.From` does not support custom delegates. These should be uncommon, but the Godot C# API actually uses them for event signals. As such, the bindings generator was updated to generate trampoline functions for event signals. It was also optimized to use `Action` instead of a custom delegate for parameterless signals, which removes the need for the trampoline functions for those signals. The change to reflection-free invokation removes one of the last needs for `ConvertVariantToManagedObjectOfType`. The only remaining usage is from calling script constructors with parameters from the engine (`CreateManagedForGodotObjectScriptInstance`). Once that one is made reflection-free, `ConvertVariantToManagedObjectOfType` can be removed.

Fix C# bindings after recent breaking changes Implementation for new Variant types Callable, Signal, StringName. Added support for PackedInt64Array and PackedFloat64Array. Add generation of signal members as events, as well as support for user created signals as events. NOTE: As of now, raising such events will not emit the signal. As such, one must use `EmitSignal` instead of raising the event directly. Removed old ThreadLocal fallback class. It's safe to use thread_local now since it's supported on all minimum versions of compilers we support.

C#: Move marshaling logic and generated glue to C# We will be progressively moving most code to C#. The plan is to only use Mono's embedding APIs to set things at launch. This will make it much easier to later support CoreCLR too which doesn't have rich embedding APIs. Additionally the code in C# is more maintainable and makes it easier to implement new features, e.g.: runtime codegen which we could use to avoid using reflection for marshaling everytime a field, property or method is accessed. SOME NOTES ON INTEROP We make the same assumptions as GDNative about the size of the Godot structures we use. We take it a bit further by also assuming the layout of fields in some cases, which is riskier but let's us squeeze out some performance by avoiding unnecessary managed to native calls. Code that deals with native structs is less safe than before as there's no RAII and copy constructors in C#. It's like using the GDNative C API directly. One has to take special care to free values they own. Perhaps we could use roslyn analyzers to check this, but I don't know any that uses attributes to determine what's owned or borrowed. As to why we maily use pointers for native structs instead of ref/out: - AFAIK (and confirmed with a benchmark) ref/out are pinned during P/Invoke calls and that has a cost. - Native struct fields can't be ref/out in the first place. - A `using` local can't be passed as ref/out, only `in`. Calling a method or property on an `in` value makes a silent copy, so we want to avoid `in`. REGARDING THE BUILD SYSTEM There's no longer a `mono_glue=yes/no` SCons options. We no longer need to build with `mono_glue=no`, generate the glue and then build again with `mono_glue=yes`. We build only once and generate the glue (which is in C# now).
