* 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).
* Ability to create script languages from GDExtension
* Some additions to gdnative_extension.h to make this happen
* Moved the GDExtension binder to core
This now allows creating scripting languages from GDExtension, with the same ease as if it was a module. It replaces the old PluginScript from Godot 3.x.
Warning: GodotCPP will need to be updated to support this (it may be a bit of work as ScriptInstance needs to be created over there again).
* Allows creating a GDExtension based 3D Physics Server (for Bullet, PhysX, etc. support)
* Some changes on native struct binding for PhysicsServer
This allows a 3D Physics server created entirely from GDExtension. Once it works, the idea is to port the 2D one to it.
* Previous "virtual" classes (which can't be instantiated) are not corretly named "abstract".
* Added a new "virtual" category for classes, they can't be instantiated from the editor, but can be inherited from script and extensions.
* Converted a large amount of classes from "abstract" to "virtual" where it makes sense.
Most classes that make sense have been converted. Missing:
* Physics servers
* VideoStream
* Script* classes.
which will go in a separate PR due to the complexity involved.
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.
- Add MethodBind call (besides ptrcall), since vararg methods don't work
with ptrcall.
- Fix argument name in register constant function to the way it
actually is used in the engine.
- Change the integer constant type to GDNativeInt to keep it consistent.
- Fix library loading and initialization.
- Add extra methods/parameters in the interface needed by extenstions.
- Add Variant destructors and functions for extracting values and
creating Variants from values.
* The harcoded 8 slots are no more and impose limits in the new extension system.
* New system is limitless, although it will impose small performance hit with a mutex.
* Use a token to request the instance binding.
**Warning**: Mono will most likely break as a result of this, will need to be modified to use the new system.
* 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
