- Accelerate common path used to check the storage scope for a given path
- Update the logic for the `get_as_text()` method - previous logic loads the content of a text file one byte at a time
Previously it was used only on debug builds, but recent
additions to variant_call.cpp have made that unit too
large even in release_debug.
It was originally set to debug only because using it
breaks mingw, so this only reinstates it for MSVC where
it shouldn't have any drawbacks (famous last words).
Test-Information:
Builds for me with
scons -j 40 platform=windows target=release_debug
and my game then runs from it.
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.
The new option is `linker` and lets the user specify the argument to
the`-fuse_ld=` linker flag directly. The supported options are:
- `default`: No change, typically uses GNU ld (bfd) unless the user or
distro picked a different default `/usr/bin/ld`.
- `bfd`: GNU ld from binutils
- `gold`: GNU gold from binutils
- `lld`: lld from LLVM
- `mold`: mold, an extremely fast modern linker, not (yet) intended for
use in production but great for development speed. Provided by distro
`mold` package or needs to be compiled from source and installed to
`/usr` otherwise.
Removes the `use_lld=yes` option, and make lld actually usable with GCC
too.
Not all the above are compatible or recommend for LTO, we recommend
using GNU ld with GCC LTO, or lld with LLVM ThinLTO.
Now the `linuxbsd` platform can be built headlessly (e.g. without X11
development libraries).
I also cleaned up some weird (old?) usages of the `env` variable which
seem to make no difference and are used nowhere else.
