We're targeting .NET 5 for now to make development easier while
.NET 6 is not yet released.
TEMPORARY REGRESSIONS
---------------------
Assembly unloading is not implemented yet. As such, many Godot
resources are leaked at exit. This will be re-implemented later
together with assembly hot-reloading.
Modules can now call:
env.module_add_dependencies(name: str, deps: list, optional: bool)
To add required or optional dependencies during the "can_build" step.
Required dependencies will be checked and the module will be not be
enabled when they are missing, printing a warning to notify the user.
* Changed to use the same stages as extensions.
* Makes the initialization more coherent, helping solve problems due to lack of stages.
* Makes it easier to port between module and extension.
* removed the DRIVER initialization level (no longer needed).
All compilation messages are now written in blue to ensure that
compiler errors and warnings stand out more. Messages were also
slightly shortened to make them easier to fit on a single line on
narrow terminals.
This makes it possible to change the branch of the documentation that
URLs are pointing to without having to modify all class reference
files.
In the XML class reference, the `$DOCS_URL` placeholder should be used,
and will be replaced automatically in the editor and when generating
the RST class reference.
The documentation branch string is set in `version.py`.

Mapping and other "abstract base classes" were moved after python 3.3 from collections to collections.abc
Python 3.3 is long gone and a newer version of python won't support this code.
Whenever we change the name (or remove) generated cpp files with the `.gen.cpp`
extension, users run into build issues when switching between branches (i.e.
switching before and after the name change/removal). This is because we glob
`*.cpp` so if a now-obsolete file from a previous build is present, we'll
include it too, potentially leading to bugs or compilation failure (due to
missing headers or invalid code).
So globbing patterns in `add_source_files` will now skip files ending with
`.gen.cpp`, which should instead be passed explicitly where they're used.
Add support for specifying defines for each configuration
Add support for specifying extra cli args for each configuration
Add support for specifying extra includes for each configuration
This could cause spurious errors on CI when trying to prune the cache,
as for some reason it tries to remove files/paths which do not exist.
That points at a bug in the `cache_progress` logic but at least this
workaround should prevent CI failures.
Emscripten is LLVM-based so we want to follow the same logic. But we can't just
put it as a match in `methods.using_clang()` as that would mess with the
compiler version detection logic used to restrict old GCC and Clang releases.
`VERSION_STATUS` is part of what constitutes the reference version for a given
Godot build, and is part of the version check for compatible export templates.
For dev snapshots (alpha, beta, RCs), we usually set the `VERSION_STATUS` to
a specific build number (e.g. `beta2`), but this change doesn't end up
committed to the Git repository as we don't want to keep changing `version.py`
for testing builds.
So this new environment override will be what can be used in official builds
and by users making custom builds for specific snapshots.
* This PR adds the ability to disable classes when building.
* For now it's only possible to do this via command like:
`scons disable_classes=RayCast2D,Area3D`
* Eventually, a proper UI will be implemented to create a build config file to do this at large scale, as well as detect what is used in the project.
Test sources and build parameter were not supplied to the visual studio project. This resulted in a build that was not able to be test using the --test command. Adding build parameter ensures we can test, and supplying the sources ensures we have all files to write new tests and edit existing ones.
The `dev=yes` and `production=yes` options work as aliases to set a number of
options, while still aiming to allow overriding specific options if the user
wishes so. (E.g. `production=yes use_lto=no` should work to enable production
defaults *but* disable LTO.)
That wasn't working as `ARGUMENTS.get()` returns a string and not a boolean as
expected by `BoolVariable`, and this wasn't flagged as a bug... So added a
helper method using SCons' `BoolVariable._text2bool` to do the conversion
manually.
This adds `custom_modules_recursive` which allows to detect and collect
all nested C++ modules which may reside in any directory specified by
`custom_modules` option.
The detection logic is made to be more strict because `SCSub` may be
used for organizing hierarchical builds within a module itself, so the
existence of `register_types.h` and `config.py` is checked as well
(these are all required for a C++ module to be compiled by Godot).
For performance reasons, built-in modules are not checked recursively,
and there's no benefit of doing so in the first place.
It's now possible to specify a directory path pointing to a *single*
module, as it may contain nested modules which are detected recursively.
First, compile the engine normally with:
```
scons custom_modules="path/to/your/modules" vsproj=yes
```
Then run the Visual Studio project. You can now rebuild the engine if
you need to make changes to custom modules directly within IDE.
A new `env.Run` method is added which allows to control the verbosity
of builders output automatically depending on whether the "verbose"
option is set. It also allows to optionally run any SCons commands in a
subprocess using the existing `run_in_subprocess` method, unifying
the interface. `Action` objects wrap all builder functions to include a
short build message associated with any action.
Notably, this removes quite verbose output generated by `make_doc_header`
and `make_editor_icons_action` builders.
Until https://github.com/psf/black/pull/1328 makes it in a stable release,
we have to use the latest from Git.
Apply new style fixes done by latest black.
A new `methods.dump(env)` is added to dump the construction environment
used by SCons to build Godot to a `.scons_env.json`. The file can be used
for debugging purposes and any external tool.
This is still a bit hacky and eventually we should rework the way we handle
optional dependencies (especially with regard to builtin/system libs), but
it's a simple first step.
Fixes#39219.
The insertion order for dictionaries is only a language feature for
Python 3.6/3.7+ implementations, and not prior to that.
This ensures that the engine won't be rebuilt if the order of detected
modules changes in any way, as the `OrderedDict` should guarantee
inerstion order.
The existence of `SCsub` is checked instead. This file is required for
all modules, and prevents the build system to leave modules without
`config.py` undetected, leading to silently ignoring the module during
compilation.
This patch adds ability to include external, user-defined C++ modules
to be compiled as part of Godot via `custom_modules` build option
which can be passed to `scons`.
```
scons platform=x11 tools=yes custom_modules="../project/modules"
```
Features:
- detects all available modules under `custom_modules` directory the
same way as it does for built-in modules (not recursive);
- works with both relative and absolute paths on the filesystem;
- multiple search paths can be specified as a comma-separated list.
Module custom documentation and editor icons collection and generation
process is adapted to work with absolute paths needed by such modules.
Also fixed doctool bug mixing absolute and relative paths respectively.
Implementation details:
- `env.module_list` is a dictionary now, which holds both module name as
key and either a relative or absolute path to a module as a value.
- `methods.detect_modules` is run twice: once for built-in modules, and
second for external modules, all combined later.
- `methods.detect_modules` was not doing what it says on the tin. It is
split into `detect_modules` which collects a list of available modules
and `write_modules` which generates `register_types` sources for each.
- whether a module is built-in or external is distinguished by relative
or absolute paths respectively. `custom_modules` scons converter
ensures that the path is absolute even if relative path is supplied,
including expanding user paths and symbolic links.
- treats the parent directory as if it was Godot's base directory, so
that there's no need to change include paths in cases where custom
modules are included as dependencies in other modules.
