This support is experimental and requires .NET 8
Known issues:
- Requires macOS due to use of lipo and xcodebuild
- arm64 simulator templates are not currently included
in the official packaging
Upon investigating the extremely slow MSVC build times in #80513, I noticed
that while Godot policy is to never use exceptions, we weren't enforcing it
with compiler flags, and thus still included exception handling code and
stack unwinding.
This is wasteful on multiple aspects:
- Binary size: Around 20% binary size reduction with exceptions disabled
for both MSVC and GCC binaries.
- Compile time:
* More than 50% build time reduction with MSVC.
* 10% to 25% build time reduction with GCC + LTO.
- Performance: Possibly, needs to be benchmarked.
Since users may want to re-enable exceptions in their own thirdparty code
or the libraries they compile with Godot, this behavior can be toggled with
the `disable_exceptions` SCons option, which defaults to true.
This makes it easy to retrieve the project version at runtime
for display purposes, while simplifying the export preset configuration.
You can now leave the version empty unless you need to override it on a per-preset
basis.
Since export presets save the values of default values to the `export_presets.cfg`
file, this change only affects export presets created after this commit was merged.
We don't use that info for anything, and it generates unnecessary diffs
every time we bump the minor version (and CI failures if we forget to
sync some files from opt-in modules (mono, text_server_fb).
When trying to export a C# project, this displays an error message after
creating a export preset for an unsupported platform.
Support for these platforms is planned for a future release.
Follow-up to #75932.
Since these icons are only used by the export plugin, it makes sense to
move them and generate the headers there.
The whole `detect.is_active()` logic seems to be a leftover from before
times, as far back as 1.0-stable it already wasn't used for anything.
So I'm removing it and moving the export icon generation to
`platform_methods`, where it makes more sense.
This applies our existing style guide, and adds a new rule to that style
guide for modular components such as platform ports and modules:
Includes from the platform port or module should be included with relative
paths (relative to the root folder of the modular component, e.g.
`platform/linuxbsd/`), in their own section before Godot's "core" includes.
The `api` and `export` subfolders also need to be handled as self-contained
(and thus use relative paths for their "local" includes) as they are all
compiled for each editor platform, without necessarily having the api/export
matching platform folder in the include path.
E.g. the Linux editor build will compile `platform/android/{api,export}/*.cpp`
and those need to use relative includes for it to work.
