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 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
This moves the instance id member from Variant to the ObjectRC so that Variant is still the same size as before the fix (and also regardless if debug or release build).
This commit addresses multiple issues with `Variant`s that point to an `Object`
which is later released, when it's tried to be accessed again.
Formerly, **while running on the debugger the system would check if the instance id was
still valid** to print warnings or return special values. Some cases weren't being
warned about whatsoever.
Also, a newly allocated `Object` could happen to be allocated at the same memory
address of an old one, making cases of use hard to find and having **`Variant`s pointing
to the old one magically reassigned to the new**.
This commit makes the engine realize all these situations **under debugging**
so you can detect and fix them. Running without a debugger attached will still
behave as it always did.
Also the warning messages have been extended and made clearer.
All that said, in the name of performance there's still one possible case of undefined
behavior: in multithreaded scripts there would be a race condition between a thread freeing
an `Object` and another one trying to operate on it. The latter may not realize the
`Object` has been freed soon enough. But that's a case of bad scripting that was never
supported anyway.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
It seems to stay compatible with formatting done by clang-format 6.0 and 7.0,
so contributors can keep using those versions for now (they will not undo those
changes).
When interpolating between two equal int values a and b, floating point
calculation imprecisions can result in different values depending on
the interpolation factor.
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.

Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
Reduz optimized field indexing in 3c85703 but the changes didn't apply
to dictionary so this code remained untouched. However, the logic for
validity checking was changed but not updated for the dictionary case.
Uninitialzed values in GDScript are of type NIL so not allowing null
comparisons did end up breaking some code.
This commit reenables NULL equality checks for all types. We're going to
have to figure out how to make this fast for the compiler later.
We now allow booleanization of all types. This means that empty versions
of all types now evaluate to false. So a Vector2(0,0), Dictionary(),
etc.
This allows you to write GDScript like:
if not Dictionary():
print("Empty dict")
Booleanization can now also no longer fail. There is no more valid flag,
this changes Variant and GDNative API.
After a short discussion with @reduz and @karroffel we decided to make
all non number/number comparisons return type errors on comparisons.
Now bool == bool is allowed but Vector2 == Vector3 is a type error and
no longer 'not equal'. The same has been done for the != operators.
In addition I forgot to add some failures to some Object operators
meaning that there was a potential for a crasher.
