This is meant for users making custom builds to match the options used on
optimized, official builds.
This enables, on the platforms which support them:
- `use_static_cpp=yes` (portable binaries for Linux and Windows)
- `use_lto=yes` (link time optimizations - note: requires a lot of RAM!)
- `debug_symbols=no` (no debug symbols, smaller binaries)
Also abort when using MSVC with `production=yes`, as:
- It cannot optimize the GDScript VM like GCC or Clang do, leading to
significant performance drops.
- Its LTO support is unreliable, at least used to trigger crashes last
we tried it extensively.
All options can still be overridden if specified, and the `dev=yes` option
was changed to also support overrides.
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 🎆
Otherwise we can get situations where platform-specific opts with the same name
can override each other depending on the order at which platforms are parsed,
as was the case with `use_static_cpp` in Linux/Windows.
Fixes#44304.
This also has the added benefit that the `scons --help` output will now only
include the options which are relevant for the selected (or detected) platform.
For some reason the `-target` option on the `LINKFLAGS` was causing a weird
issue where osxcross' clang wrapper would attempt using the system `/bin/ld`
instead of the osxcross version (which is Apple's `ld64`).
The error message would be:
```
/bin/ld: unrecognized option '-dynamic'
```
Also removed from `CCFLAGS` for consistency, it seems to work fine with only
`-mmacosx-version-min`.
`debug_symbols=yes` will now behave like `debug_symbols=full` did
before. The difference in compressed file sizes is not that large,
which means there isn't much point in having two different values.
This helps make the buildsystem easier to understand.
Extracted the most minimal core initialization functionality from
`setup()` and `setup2()` so that `ClassDB` could be tested properly
(input, audio, rendering, physics etc, are excluded).
Display and rendering servers/singletons are not initialized at all.
Due to the fact that most subsystems are disabled, fixed various crashes in the
process (in order):
- `AcceptDialog` OK/cancel swap behavior (used `DisplayServer` while
`register_scene_types()`);
- `make_default_theme` which depends on `RenderingServer`;
- `XRServer` singleton access while calling `register_modules_types()`;
- hidden bug in a way joypads are cleaned up (MacOS and Linux only).
Removed manual `ClassDB` init/cleanup calls from `test_validate_testing.h`.
ClassDB tests:
