Calling the constructor alone is not enough if the class to be
instantiated is not a base class.
This commit adds two functions, one for retrieving the the extension
class reference, the other to construct an instance using the
constructor and the extension class reference.
There are two ways a class can be added to ClassDB:
- `A`: When an instance of the class is created for the first time. When
this happends the class is not registered/exposed to scripts.
- `B`: When calling `GDREGISTER_CLASS(ClassName)` or similar. When this
happens the class is registered/exposed to scripts.
ClassDB has an API type property to differentiate between the core
and editor APIs. Up until now the API type was determined whenever
the class is added to ClassDB (either `A` or `B`).
The problem comes when a class is instantiated (`A`) before
being registered (`B`).
If at this point the current defined API is not the same as when the
class is later registered, this will result in a mismatch between
`--editor` and non-editor apps.
This is specially bad for C# as it makes the editor player abort.
This was happening with `EditorPaths` which, while being registered
during the editor API classes registrations, it was also being
instantiated earlier when running the editor or the project manager,
via a call to `EditorPaths::create()`. This regression was introduced
in 1074017f04.
This commit fixes this simply by re-assigning the class API type when
the class is registered (`B`).
This is correct because API type describes registered/exposed classes.
It shouldn't cause any regressions as the API type should not be
accessed of classes that are not (or not yet) registered/exposed.
Code locations for reference:
- Method to add a class to ClassDB: `ClassDB::_add_class2`
- Code that adds classes to ClassDB post first initialization (`A`):
`memnew` macros -> `Object::_postinitialize` ->
`Object::initialize_class` -> `ClassDB::_add_class2`.
- Code adds class to ClassDB and registers/exposes it to scripts:
`GDREGISTER_CLASS` macros -> `ClassDB::register_class<T>` ->
`Object::initialize_class` -> `ClassDB::_add_class2`.
Adds ability to add error return documetation to the binder and class reference.
Usage example:
```C++
void MyClass::_bind_method() {
[..]
BIND_METHOD_ERR_RETURN_DOC("load", ERR_FILE_CANT_OPEN, ERR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED);
}
```
One function of ConfigFile was changed as example.
* `_gui_input`, `_input`, `_unhandled_input` and `_unhandled_key_input` are now regular C++ virutal functions.
* Everything else converted to GDVIRTUAL
* BIND_VMETHOD is gone, always use the new syntax from now on.
Creating `_gui_input` method and using the binder to register events will no longer work, simply override the virtual function now.
* New syntax is type safe.
* New syntax allows for type safe virtuals in native extensions.
* New syntax permits extremely fast calling.
Note: Everything was replaced where possible except for `_gui_input` `_input` and `_unhandled_input`.
These will require API rework on a separate PR as they work different than the rest of the functions.
Added a new method flag METHOD_FLAG_OBJECT_CORE, used internally. Allows to not dump the core virtuals like `_notification` to the json API, since each language will implement those as it is best fits.
Capsule height and radius setters can modify each other, rather than
using clamping, to avoid cases where values are not set correctly when
loading a scene (depending on the order of properties).
Inspector undo/redo:
Added the possibility to link properties together in the editor, so
they can be undone together, for cases where a property can modify
another one.
Gizmo undo/redo:
Capsule handles pass both radius and height values so they can be undone
together.
This sends the Godot object instance back to the extension so they can
keep a pointer for function calls.
Incidentally fix argument order on instance bindings callback for free()
* Most resource types now have unique identifiers.
* Applies to text, binary and imported resources.
* File formats reference both by text and UID (when available). UID always has priority.
* Resource UIDs are 64 bits for better compatibility with the engine.
* Can be represented and used textually, example `uuid://dapwmgsmnl28u`.
* A special binary cache file is used and exported, containing the mappings.
Example of how it looks:
```GDScript
[gd_scene load_steps=2 format=3 uid="uid://dw86wq31afig2"]
[ext_resource type="PackedScene" uid="uid://bt36ojelx8q6c" path="res://subscene.scn" id="1_t56hs"]
```
GDScript, shaders and other special resource files can't currently provide UIDs, but this should be doable with special keywords on the files.
This will be reserved for future PRs.
* Added explicit return type to the SNAME macro.
* Add some extra SNAME usages.
* Change some ClassDB methods to use const StringName & arguments.
* Cache the Window parent in Control because it's used in
is_layout_rtl(), which is called often.
* Only enable internal processing for viewports that need it.
* Change CanvasItem::group to be a StringName because it's only used as
that.
* 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.
* Deprecates GDNative in favor of a simpler, lower level interface.
* New extension system allows registering core engine classes.
* Simple header interface in gdnative_interace.h
- Based on C++14's `shared_time_mutex`
- No more need to allocate-deallocate or check for null
- No pointer anymore, just a member variable
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed
- Simpler for `NO_THREADS`
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
