As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
changed RETURN_VALUE_DISCARDED GDscript warning text to mention how the return value of a function is discarded; update GDScript parser warning test to include new warning text.
- Add leading and trailing spaces within dictionaries, as the `{}`
characters are hard to distinguish from `[]` on some fonts.
This is especially helpful with empty arrays and dictionaries.
- 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.
When resolving the type of the attribute from the variant, the result_type.kind was overritten for no reason.
It is assumed that this only needs to be done, if the variant value is not valid to have any kind here.
Solves #63715
The `%` is used in scene unique nodes. Now `%` can also be used instead
of `$` for the shorthand, besides being allowed generally anywhere in
the path as the prefix for a node name.
* 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<>
Previously, there was an issue where the gdscript analyzer incorrectly
riased a validation error for code that had a default Dictionary, Array,
or custom type.
These typedefs don't save much typing compared to the full `Ref<Resource>`
and `Ref<RefCounted>`, yet they sometimes introduce confusion among
new contributors.
Autoloaded scripts should always inherit from Node. When you run a
project that tries to autoload a script which doesn’t inherit from Node,
then Godot gives an error.
Before this change, the error said “Script does not inherit a Node”.
That error message is a little bit misleading. If a class inherits a
Node, then one of its superclasses has a Node. If a class inherits
_from_ Node, then one of its superclasses is Node. This change corrects
that mistake.
Fixes#59884.
* 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.
To guarantee polymorphism, a method signature must be compatible with
the parent. This checks if:
1. Return type is the same.
2. The subclass method takes at least the same amount of parameters.
3. The matching parameters have the same type.
4. If the subclass takes more parameters, all of the extra ones have a
default value.
5. If the superclass has default values, so must have the subclass.
There's a few test cases to ensure this holds up.
