Godot supports many different compilers and for production releases we
have to support 3 currently: GCC8, Clang6, and MSVC2017. These compilers
all do slightly different things with -ffast-math and it is causing
issues now. See #24841, #24540, #10758, #10070. And probably other
complaints about physics differences between release and release_debug
builds.
I've done some performance comparisons on Linux x86_64. All tests are
ran 20 times.

I have also looked at FPS numbers for tps-demo, 3d platformer, 2d
platformer, and sponza and could not find any measurable difference.
I believe that given the issues and oft-reported (physics) glitches on
release builds I believe that the couple of percent of tight-loop
floating point performance regression is well worth it.
This fixes#24540 and fixes#24841
Also finally move freetype to its own env and disable warnings for it.
Still needs some work to fix the awkward situation of the freetype and
svg modules used in scene/ and editor/ respectively.
There are still some left in the Android Java code, even stuff to swap between
GLES1 and GLES2 support from early Godot days... would be good to see some cleanup
there too one day.
The "graphics/api" option for Android exports is removed, as only GLES 3.0 is supported.
It can be readded when GLES 2.0 support comes back. Fixes#13004.
Now that we have a built-in stacktrace on a segfault it would be useful
to have debug information on debug_release builds so that bugreports can
include this information. Without this debug info we will still get
function names in the backtrace but not file location.
This commit will by default build all targets with minimal debug info
and then strip the information into separate files. On MacOS this is a
.dSYM file, on Linux/MingW this is a .debug file. MacOSX will
automatically load a dSYM file if it exists in its debugger. On
Linux/MingW we create a 'gnu debuglink' meaning that gdb and friends
will automatically find the debug symbols if they exist.
Existing workflow for developers does not change at all, except that we
now create two instead of one build artifact by default.
This commit also adds a 'debug_symbols' option to X11, MacOS, and MingW
targets. The default is 'yes' which corresponds to -g1. The alternatives
are 'no' (don't generate debug infos at all) or 'full' which runs with
-g2. A target=debug build will now build with -g3.
Tried to organize the configure(env) calls in sections, using the same order
for all platforms whenever possible.
Apart from cosmetic changes, the following issues were fixed:
- Android: cleanup linkage, remove GLESv1_CM and GLESv2
- iPhone: Remove obsolete "ios_gles22_override" option
- OSX:
* Fix bits detection (default to 64) and remove obsolete "force_64_bits" option
(closes#9449)
* Make "fat" bits argument explicit
- Server: sync with X11
- Windows: clean up old DirectX 9 stuff
- X11:
* Do not require system OpenSSL for building (closes#9443)
* Fix typo'ed use_leak_sanitizer option
* Fix .llvm suffix overriding custom extra_suffix
All the warnings are factored out of the platform-specific files and moved to
SConstruct. Will have to check that it does not introduce regressions on some
platforms/compilers.
(cherry picked from commit 31107daa1a)
Not fully happy about the way this one interacts with the various
platforms. Maybe the platform_config.h should be generated by the
SCsub instead of passing a define just to know where is the header.
This allows us not to have to hack our definitions in the upstream files,
making it easier to upgrade to newer versions in the future.
For the include paths to work, the headers are moved to a GL subfolder to
match their upstream location.
