As per #36436, we now need C++17's guaranteed copy elision feature to
solve ambiguities in Variant.
Core developers discussed the idea to move from C++14 to C++17 as our
minimum required C++ standard, and all agreed. Note that this doesn't
mean that Godot is going to be written in "modern C++", but we'll use
modern features where they make sense to simplify our "C with classes"
codebase. Apart from new code written recently, most of the codebase
still has to be ported to use newer features where relevant.
Proper support for C++17 means that we need recent compiler versions:
- GCC 7+
- Clang 6+
- VS 2017 15.7+
Additionally, C++17's `std::shared_mutex` (conditionally used by
`vk_mem_alloc.h` when C++17 support is enabled) is only available in
macOS 10.12+, so we increase our minimum supported version.
On GCC and Clang, we use C11 and C++14 with GNU extensions (`std=gnu11`
and `std=gnu++14`). Those are the defaults for current GCC and Clang,
and also match the feature sets we want to use in Godot.
On MSVC, we require C++14 support explicitly with `/std:c++14`, and
make it strict with the use of `/permissive-` (so features of C++17 or
later can't be used).
Moves the definition before querying environment flags and platform
config so that it can be overridden when necessary.
Fix -Wunused-variable, -Wunused-but-set-variable and -Wswitch warnings
raised by GCC 8 and 9.
Fix -Wunused-function, -Wunused-private-field and
-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare raised by Clang.
Fix MSVC 2019 warning C4804 (unsafe use of type 'bool' in comparison
operation).
GCC -Wcpp warnings/Clang -W#warnings (`#warning`) are no longer raising
errors and will thus not abort compilation with `werror=yes`.
Treat glslang headers are system headers to avoid raising warnings.
Re-enables us to build with `werror=yes` on Linux and macOS, thus
catching warnings that would be introduced by new code.
Fixes#36132.
Due to the port to Vulkan and complete redesign of the rendering backend,
the `drivers/gles3` code is no longer usable in this state and is not
planned to be ported to the new architecture.
The GLES2 backend is kept (while still disabled and non-working) as it
will eventually be ported to serve as the low-end renderer for Godot 4.0.
Some GLES3 features might be selectively ported to the updated GLES2
backend if there's a need for them, and extensions we can use for that.
So long, OpenGL driver bugs!
- Renamed option to `builtin_vulkan`, since that's the name of the
library and if we were to add new components, we'd likely use that
same option.
- Merge `vulkan_loader/SCsub` in `vulkan/SCsub`.
- Accordingly, don't use built-in Vulkan headers when not building
against the built-in loader library.
- Drop Vulkan registry which we don't appear to need currently.
- Style and permission fixes.
We already had `MODULE_*_ENABLED` defines but only in the modules
environment, and a few custom `*_ENABLED` defines in the main env
when we needed the information in core.
Now this is defined in a single header which can be included in the
files that need this information.
The new 'split_libmodules=yes' option is useful to work around linker
command line size limitations when linking a huge number of objects.
We're currently over 64k chars when linking libmodules.a on Windows
with MinGW, which triggers issues as seen in #30892.
Even on Linux, we can also reach linker command line size limitations
by adding more custom modules.
We force this option to True for MinGW on Windows, which fixes#30892.
Additional changes to lib splitting:
- Fix linking of the split module libs with interdependent symbols,
hacking our way into LINKCOM and SHLINKCOM to set the `--start-group`
and `--end-group` flags.
- Fix Python 3 compatibility in `methods.split_lib()`.
- Drop seemingly obsolete condition for 'msys' on 'posix'.
- Drop the unnecessary 'split_drivers' as the drivers lib is no longer
too big since we moved all thirdparty builds to modules.

Third-party platforms (e.g. console ports) need to be able to
disable JIT support in the regex module too, so it can't be
hardcoded in the module SCsub. This is cleaner this way anyway.
Fixes#19316.
- Add or remove the necessary subdirectorires to the includes to remove
dependency on the editor directory being in the build's include path.
- Ensure includes in modified files conform to style guideline.
- Remove editor from the build include path.
**Important:** This does not mean *yet* that C++11 features should be used
in contributions to Godot's codebase.
For now this change is done solely for feature branches working on Vulkan
support and GDScript typed instruction sets for Godot 4.0, which will both
use C++11 features and are based on the master branch.
The plan is to start porting the codebase to C++11 after Godot 3.2 is
released, following upcoming guidelines on the subset of new features that
should be used, and when/how to use them.
We will advertise clearly when C++11 contributions are open, especially
once we start a coordinated effort to port Godot's massive codebase. In the
meantime, please bear with us and good ol' C++03. :)
The functionality is similar to how `doc_classes` are retrieved per module.
The build system will search for custom icons path defined per module via
`get_icons_path()` method in `config.py` or default icons path.
If such paths don't exist, only the editor's own icons will be built.
Most module icons were moved from editor/icons to respective modules.
This can help to solve compilation issues on systems with Japanese
locale with encodings like Shift_JIS and UTF-8-BOM.
Also be more consistent using String::utf8() to represent cyrilic
unicode characters in test_string.cpp
Clarified some comments in test_string.cpp for some Unicode characters.
We're close to being able to compile all platforms with -Werror -Wextra,
so it's best if developers use those options when compiling their code
as those checks are also done on CI.
Also enabled -Wduplicated-branches on GCC.
Include paths are processed from left to right, so we use Prepend to
ensure that paths to bundled thirdparty files will have precedence over
system paths (e.g. `/usr/include` should have lowest priority).
Many contributors (me included) did not fully understand what CCFLAGS,
CXXFLAGS and CPPFLAGS refer to exactly, and were thus not using them
in the way they are intended to be.
As per the SCons manual: https://www.scons.org/doc/HTML/scons-user/apa.html
- CCFLAGS: General options that are passed to the C and C++ compilers.
- CFLAGS: General options that are passed to the C compiler (C only;
not C++).
- CXXFLAGS: General options that are passed to the C++ compiler. By
default, this includes the value of $CCFLAGS, so that setting
$CCFLAGS affects both C and C++ compilation.
- CPPFLAGS: User-specified C preprocessor options. These will be
included in any command that uses the C preprocessor, including not
just compilation of C and C++ source files [...], but also [...]
Fortran [...] and [...] assembly language source file[s].
TL;DR: Compiler options go to CCFLAGS, unless they must be restricted
to either C (CFLAGS) or C++ (CXXFLAGS). Preprocessor defines go to
CPPFLAGS.
Adds `FALLTHROUGH` macro to specify when a fallthrough is intentional.
Can be replaced by `[[fallthrough]]` if/when we switch to C++17.
The warning is now enabled by default for GCC on `extra` warnings level
(part of GCC's `-Wextra`). It's not enabled in Clang's `-Wextra` yet,
but we could enable it manually once we switch to C++11. There's no
equivalent feature in MSVC for now.
Fixes#26135.
See #24965 for details. `sys.path.insert` is hacky, but should work
relatively well for both Python 2 and Python 3. When we eventually
deprecate Python 2 support, we could look into using importlib.
Fixes#24965.
