Ensures the `push_nupkgs_local` argument in build_assemblies.py is an
absolute path so the argument can be
given as a relative path and it will be converted.
- Creates a `Godot.Offline.Config` file to configurate NuGet with
Godot's fallback folder. This is easier because now we can assume we can
override the entire file since user config will likely be in the default
`NuGet.Config` file or an additional `*.config` file.
- Ensure the NuGet fallback folder is created at the same time it is
added to the NuGet configuration so future builds don't fail.
- Add `GodotSharp` and `GodotSharpEditor` packages to the fallback folder.
- Add `.nupkg.metadata` file to packages in fallback folder.
- Refer to `Godot.SourceGenerators` using the specific non-floating version
since floating versions don't seem to work with fallbackPackageFolders.
We want to replace libnethost as it gives us issues with some compilers.
Our implementation tries to mimic libnethost's hostfxr_resolver search
logic. We try to use the same function names for easier comparing in
case we need to update this in the future.
Scripts that are instantiated at some point will always be recreated
if they ever become placeholders to prevent non-tool scripts
instantiated manually by users to become placeholders, if they
do become placeholders due to errors that prevent instantiation
(such as a missing parameterless constructor) these scripts
will also be recreated replacing the temporary placeholder.
If a script is marked as a tool but becomes a non-tool script
in a rebuild, the script will become a placeholder and will
no longer be considered applicable to be replaced by an instance
since the user explicitly removed the Tool attribute.
Since the list of signals in `CSharpScript::event_signals` retrieved
from calling `ScriptManagerBridge.UpdateScriptClassInfo` already
includes the signals from base scripts there is no need to iterate the
hierarchy again on `CSharpInstance::connect_event_signals`.
When the C# bindings generator finds a type without meta assume the type
refers to the 64-bit version of the type:
- `float` is converted to `double`
- `int` is converted to `long`
Vector4 and Vector4i were implemented incorrectly in godot_variant.
They were also missing their respective Variant conversion callbacks
(used for generic collections).
Took the chance to remove unnecessary native calls for creating
Variant from Vector4, as now it can be done from C# (which is faster).
- Use different syntax for object printing to avoid confusion with arrays.
- Print null as `<null>` to avoid confusion with a string `"null"`.
- Display `<empty>` in editor resource pickers to avoid confusion
with array-based properties.

`libnethost.a` detection failed on my Linux system (Mageia 9, using Fedora 36
dotnet repos), because it used the first match which isn't the one matching
the rest of the SDK:

- Remove event as a valid target of `SignalAttribute`
- Stop adding the `[Signal]` attribute to events in bindings_generator
- Make bindings_generator use the `EventHandler` suffix to be consistent with the C# source generator
- Remove obsolete comment about the signal's delegate name
- MustBeVariant attribute can be used to enforce that generic types must
be a marshable from/to Variant.
- Also renames all diagnostic ids to be valid unicode identifiers.
Node methods in C# extended to use generics
now have the optional parameter `includeInternal`
like their non-generic equivalents.
Also, fixed a typo in the `Node.get_child` documentation.
- In cases where both `Xform`/`XformInv` and the `*` operator were
implemented the `Xform`/`XformInv` methods were removed in favor of the
`*` operator.
- In cases where the `Xform`/`XformInv` existed but not the `*` operator,
the `Xform`/`XformInv` methods were replaced with the `*` operator.
- In cases where no method existed, a new `*` operator has been
implemented to support the same operations that are supported in GDScript.
- Fixes the `Transform.Xform` and `Transform.XformInv` with `Rect2`
implementation to use a zero `Rect2` size to start expanding from
(which is how it's implemented in C++).
If the project assembly does not exist, return `false` directly instead
of trying to load it.
This prevents the `System.InvalidOperationException` thrown for failing
to locate managed application.
- Moves interop functions to UnmanagedCallbacks struct that
contains the function pointers and is passed to C#.
- Implements UnmanagedCallbacksGenerator, a C# source generator that
generates the UnmanagedCallbacks struct in C# and the body for the
NativeFuncs methods (their implementation just calls the function
pointer in the UnmanagedCallbacks). The generated methods are needed
because .NET pins byref parameters of native calls, even if they are
'ref struct's, which don't need pinning. The generated methods use
`Unsafe.AsPointer` so that we can benefit from byref parameters
without suffering overhead of pinning.
Co-authored-by: Raul Santos <raulsntos@gmail.com>
We were using it to workaround a limitation of `Unsafe.AsPointer` and
`ref struct`s. However, we can get the same result with some tricks,
since we have control over the declaration of these structs.
The setting is initially assigned the name of the Godot project,
but it's kept freezed to prevent issues when renaming the Godot
project.
The user can always rename the C# project and solution manually and
change the setting to the new name.
This new version does not support the following type arguments:
- Generic types
- Array of Godot Object (Godot.Object[]) or derived types
The new implementation uses delegate pointers to call the Variant
conversion methods. We do type checking only once in the static
constructor to get the conversion delegates.
Now, we no longer need to do type checking every time, and we no
longer have to box value types.
This is the best implementation I could come up with, as C# generics
don't support anything similar to C++ template specializations.
- Array and Dictionary now store `Variant` instead of `System.Object`.
- Removed generic Array and Dictionary.
They cause too much issues, heavily relying on reflection and
very limited by the lack of a generic specialization.
- Removed support for non-Godot collections.
Support for them also relied heavily on reflection for marshaling.
Support for them will likely be re-introduced in the future, but
it will have to rely on source generators instead of reflection.
- Reduced our use of reflection.
The remaining usages will be moved to source generators soon.
The only usage that I'm not sure yet how to replace is dynamic
invocation of delegates.
Changed the signal declaration signal to:
```
// The following generates a MySignal event
[Signal] public delegate void MySignalEventHandler(int param);
```
In the past, the Godot editor distributed the API assemblies and
copied them to project directories for projects to reference them.
This changed with the move to .NET 5/6. Godot no longer copies the
assemblies to project directories. However, the project Sdk still
tried to reference them from the same location.
From now on, the GodotSharp API is distributed as a NuGet package,
which the Sdk can reference.
Added an option to `build_assemblies.py` to copy all Godot NuGet
packages to an existing local NuGet source. This will be needed
during development, while packages are not published to a remote
NuGet repository.
This option also makes sure to remove packages of the same version
installed (~/.nuget/packages). Very useful during development, when
packages change, to make sure the package being used by a project is
the same we just built and not one from a previous build.
A local NuGet source can be created like this:
```
mkdir ~/MyLocalNuGetSource && \
dotnet nuget add source ~/MyLocalNuGetSource/ -n MyLocalNuGetSource
```
Previously, we added source generators for invoking/accessing methods,
properties and fields in scripts. This freed us from the overhead of
reflection. However, the generated code still used our dynamic
marshaling functions, which do runtime type checking and box value
types.
This commit changes the bindings and source generators to include
'static' marshaling. Based on the types known at compile time, now
we generate the appropriate marshaling call for each type.
Previously, for each scripts class instance that was created from code
rather than by the engine, we were constructing, configuring and
assigning a new CSharpScript.
This has changed now and we make sure there's only one CSharpScript
associated to each type.
The editor no longer needs to create temporary instances to get the
default values. The initializer values of the exported properties are
still evaluated at runtime. For example, in the following example,
`GetInitialValue()` will be called when first looks for default values:
```
[Export] int MyValue = GetInitialValue();
```
Exporting fields with a non-supported type now results in a compiler
error rather than a runtime error when the script is used.
This base implementation is still very barebones but it defines the path
for how exporting will work (at least when embedding the .NET runtime).
Many manual steps are still needed, which should be automatized in the
future. For example, in addition to the API assemblies, now you also
need to copy the GodotPlugins assembly to each game project.
Finalizers are longer guaranteed to be called on exit now that
we switched to .NET Core. This results in native instances leaking.
The only solution I can think of so far is to keep a list of all
instances alive to dispose when the AssemblyLoadContext.Unloading
event is raised.
This replaces the way we invoke methods and set/get properties.
This first iteration rids us of runtime type checking in those
cases, as it's now done at compile time.
Later it will also stop needing the use of reflection. After that,
we will only depend on reflection for generic Godot Array and
Dictionary. We're stuck with reflection in generic collections
for now as C# doesn't support generic/template specialization.
This is only the initial implementation. Further iterations are
coming, specially once we switch to the native extension system
which completely changes the way members are accessed/invoked.
For example, with the native extension system we will likely need
to create `UnmanagedCallersOnly` invoke wrapper methods and return
function pointers to the engine.
Other kind of members, like event signals will be receiving the
same treatment in the future.
Some Linux distros use their distro name as the RID for directory names.
If the .NET Host directory cannot be found with the generic RID,
try to get the rid from `dotnet --info`.
The generic RID should still be the first choice. Some platforms like
Windows 10 define the RID as `win10-x64` but still use the generic
`win-x64` for directory names.

We're targeting .NET 5 for now to make development easier while
.NET 6 is not yet released.
TEMPORARY REGRESSIONS
---------------------
Assembly unloading is not implemented yet. As such, many Godot
resources are leaked at exit. This will be re-implemented later
together with assembly hot-reloading.
The main focus here was to remove the majority of code that relied on
Mono's embedding APIs, specially the reflection APIs. The embedding
APIs we still use are the bare minimum we need for things to work.
A lot of code was moved to C#. We no longer deal with any managed
objects (`MonoObject*`, and such) in native code, and all marshaling
is done in C#.
The reason for restructuring the code and move away from embedding APIs
is that once we move to .NET Core, we will be limited by the much more
minimal .NET hosting.
PERFORMANCE REGRESSIONS
-----------------------
Some parts of the code were written with little to no concern about
performance. This includes code that calls into script methods and
accesses script fields, properties and events.
The reason for this is that all of that will be moved to source
generators, so any work prior to that would be a waste of time.
DISABLED FEATURES
-----------------
Some code was removed as it no longer makes sense (or won't make sense
in the future).
Other parts were commented out with `#if 0`s and TODO warnings because
it doesn't make much sense to work on them yet as those parts will
change heavily when we switch to .NET Core but also when we start
introducing source generators.
As such, the following features were disabled temporarily:
- Assembly-reloading (will be done with ALCs in .NET Core).
- Properties/fields exports and script method listing (will be
handled by source generators in the future).
- Exception logging in the editor and stack info for errors.
- Exporting games.
- Building of C# projects. We no longer copy the Godot API assemblies
to the project directory, so MSBuild won't be able to find them. The
idea is to turn them into NuGet packages in the future, which could
also be obtained from local NuGet sources during development.
We are moving in the direction of no dynamic code generation,
so this is no longer desired.
The feature can still be easily implemented by any project that
still want it.
We will be progressively moving most code to C#.
The plan is to only use Mono's embedding APIs to set things at launch.
This will make it much easier to later support CoreCLR too which
doesn't have rich embedding APIs.
Additionally the code in C# is more maintainable and makes it easier
to implement new features, e.g.: runtime codegen which we could use to
avoid using reflection for marshaling everytime a field, property or
method is accessed.
SOME NOTES ON INTEROP
We make the same assumptions as GDNative about the size of the Godot
structures we use. We take it a bit further by also assuming the layout
of fields in some cases, which is riskier but let's us squeeze out some
performance by avoiding unnecessary managed to native calls.
Code that deals with native structs is less safe than before as there's
no RAII and copy constructors in C#. It's like using the GDNative C API
directly. One has to take special care to free values they own.
Perhaps we could use roslyn analyzers to check this, but I don't know
any that uses attributes to determine what's owned or borrowed.
As to why we maily use pointers for native structs instead of ref/out:
- AFAIK (and confirmed with a benchmark) ref/out are pinned
during P/Invoke calls and that has a cost.
- Native struct fields can't be ref/out in the first place.
- A `using` local can't be passed as ref/out, only `in`. Calling a
method or property on an `in` value makes a silent copy, so we want
to avoid `in`.
REGARDING THE BUILD SYSTEM
There's no longer a `mono_glue=yes/no` SCons options. We no longer
need to build with `mono_glue=no`, generate the glue and then build
again with `mono_glue=yes`. We build only once and generate the glue
(which is in C# now).
However, SCons no longer builds the C# projects for us. Instead one
must run `build_assemblies.py`, e.g.:
```sh
%godot_src_root%/modules/mono/build_scripts/build_assemblies.py \
--godot-output-dir=%godot_src_root%/bin \
--godot-target=release_debug`
```
We could turn this into a custom build target, but I don't know how
to do that with SCons (it's possible with Meson).
OTHER NOTES
Most of the moved code doesn't follow the C# naming convention and
still has the word Mono in the names despite no longer dealing with
Mono's embedding APIs. This is just temporary while transitioning,
to make it easier to understand what was moved where.
`shader_uniform` is now consistenly used across both per-shader
and per-instance shader uniform methods. This makes methods easier
to find in the class reference when looking for them.
The function tried to rearrange properties but that lead to problems with duplication or deleted properties. Implemented the logic that that function did inside the get_property_list both for tool scripts and non-tool scripts.
Adds SCons options to disable Brotli and Graphite.
Adds option categories to the build profiles editor.
Adds options default state to the build profiles editor.
Adds Text Server related options to the build profiles editor.
Fix misplaced OpenGL/Vulkan SCons options.
- RPC configurations are now dictionaries.
- Script.get_rpc_methods renamed to Script.get_rpc_config.
- Node.rpc[_id] and Callable.rpc now return an Error.
- Refactor MultiplayerAPI to allow extension.
- New MultiplayerAPI.rpc method with Array argument (for scripts).
- Move the default MultiplayerAPI implementation to a module.
Implement built-in classes Vector4, Vector4i and Projection.
* Two versions of Vector4 (float and integer).
* A Projection class, which is a 4x4 matrix specialized in projection types.
These types have been requested for a long time, but given they were very corner case they were not added before.
Because in Godot 4, reimplementing parts of the rendering engine is now possible, access to these types (heavily used by the rendering code) becomes a necessity.
**Q**: Why Projection and not Matrix4?
**A**: Godot does not use Matrix2, Matrix3, Matrix4x3, etc. naming convention because, within the engine, these types always have a *purpose*. As such, Godot names them: Transform2D, Transform3D or Basis. In this case, this 4x4 matrix is _always_ used as a _Projection_, hence the naming.
Clean up and do fixes to hash functions and newly introduced murmur3 hashes in #61934
* Clean up usage of murmur3
* Fixed usages of binary murmur3 on floats (this is invalid)
* Changed DJB2 to use xor (which seems to be better)
Comments have been added for the following:

- Add support for explicit values in properties using `PROPERTY_HINT_FLAGS`
that works the same way it does for enums.
- Fix enums and flags in VisualScriptEditor (it wasn't considering the
explicit value).
- Use `PROPERTY_HINT_FLAGS` for C# enums with the FlagsAttribute instead
of `PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM`.
Adds support for generating C# bindings that use the generic `Array<T>`
type instead of the non-generic `Array` type when the registered ClassDB
method specifies the array element type.
* Map is unnecessary and inefficient in almost every case.
* Replaced by the new HashMap.
* Renamed Map to RBMap and Set to RBSet for cases that still make sense
(order matters) but use is discouraged.
There were very few cases where replacing by HashMap was undesired because
keeping the key order was intended.
I tried to keep those (as RBMap) as much as possible, but might have missed
some. Review appreciated!
Adds a new, cleaned up, HashMap implementation.
* Uses Robin Hood Hashing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table#Robin_Hood_hashing).
* Keeps elements in a double linked list for simpler, ordered, iteration.
* Allows keeping iterators for later use in removal (Unlike Map<>, it does not do much
for performance vs keeping the key, but helps replace old code).
* Uses a more modern C++ iterator API, deprecates the old one.
* Supports custom allocator (in case there is a wish to use a paged one).
This class aims to unify all the associative template usage and replace it by this one:
* Map<> (whereas key order does not matter, which is 99% of cases)
* HashMap<>
* OrderedHashMap<>
* OAHashMap<>
* 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).
These typedefs don't save much typing compared to the full `Ref<Resource>`
and `Ref<RefCounted>`, yet they sometimes introduce confusion among
new contributors.
* 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).
PhysicsServer3DExtension inherits from PhysicsServer3D which is a
singleton class, since singleton classes are generated as static in C#
it would generate invalid C# so for now we'll be
ignoring PhysicsServer3DExtension.
`DirAccess *` needs to be deleted manually, and this is often forgotten
especially when doing early returns with `ERR_FAIL_COND`.
`DirAccessRef` is deleted automatically when it goes out of scope.

* Very old macros from the time Godot was created.
* Limited arguments to 5 (then later changed to 8) in many places.
* They were replaced by C++11 Variadic Templates.
* Renamed methods that take argument pointers to have a "p" suffix. This was used in some places and not in others, so made it standard.
* Also added a dereference check for Variant*. Helped catch a couple of bugs.
