We prefer to prevent using chained assignment (`T a = b = c = T();`) as this
can lead to confusing code and subtle bugs.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_operator_(C%2B%2B), C++
allows any arbitrary return type, so this is standard compliant.
This could be re-assessed if/when we have an actual need for a behavior more
akin to that of the C++ STL, for now this PR simply changes a handful of
cases which were inconsistent with the rest of the codebase (`void` return
type was already the most common case prior to this commit).
Move multiplayer classes to "core/multiplayer" subdir.
Move the RPCConfig and enums (TransferMode, RPCMode) to a separate
file (multiplayer.h), and bind them to the global namespace.
Move the RPC handling code to its own class (RPCManager).
Renames "get_rpc_sender_id" to "get_remote_sender_id".
Move the autoload resolution to runtime by loading it into the stack
with an extra instruction. This allows an autoload to use another
autoload singleton independent of load order.
- Move the "sync" property for RPCs to RPCConfig.
- Unify GDScript annotations into a single one:
- `@rpc(master)` # default
- `@rpc(puppet)`
- `@rpc(any)` # former `@remote`
- Implement three additional `@rpc` options:
- The second parameter is the "sync" option (which also calls the
function locally when RPCing). One of "sync", "nosync".
- The third parameter is the transfer mode (reliable, unreliable,
ordered).
- The third parameter is the channel (unused for now).
This adds initialization to every typed temporary stack slot at the
beginning of the function call instead of emitting instructions, since
those might be in a conditional branch and not be called.
There's now only 3 addressing modes: stack, constant, and member.
Self, class, and nil are now present respectively in the first 3 stack
slots. Global and class constants are moved to local constants when
compiling. Named globals is only present on editor to use on tool
singletons, so its use now emits a new instruction to copy the global to
the stack.
This allow us to further optimize the VM later by embedding the
addressing modes in the instructions themselves, which is better done
with less permutations.
When the type cannot be validated at compile time, the runtime must do a
check to ensure type safety is kept, as the code might be assuming the
return type is correct in another place, leading to crashes if the
contract is broken.
- Use `Array[type]` for type-hints. e.g.:
`var array: Array[int] = [1, 2, 3]`
- Array literals are typed if their storage is typed (variable
asssignment of as argument in function all). Otherwise they are
untyped.
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 🎆
- ClassDoc added to GDScript and property reflection data were extracted
from parse tree
- GDScript comments are collected from tokenizer for documentation and
applied to the ClassDoc by the GDScript compiler
- private docs were excluded (name with underscore prefix and doesn't
have any doc comments)
- default values (of non exported vars), arguments are extraced from the
parser
- Integrated with GDScript 2.0 and new enums were added.
- merge conflicts fixed
They are now called "utility functions" to avoid confusion with methods
of builtin types, and be consistent with the naming in Variant.
Core utility functions are now available in GDScript. The ones missing
in core are added specifically to GDScript as helpers for convenience.
Some functions were remove when there are better ways to do, reducing
redundancy and cleaning up the global scope.
Almost all instructions need variant arguments. With this change they
are loaded in an array before each instruction call. This makes the
addressing code be localized to less places, improving compilation
overhead and binary size by a small margin.
This should not affect performance.
Sometimes to fix something you have to break it first.
This get GDScript mostly working with the new tokenizer and parser but
a lot of things isn't working yet. It compiles and it's usable, and that
should be enough for now.
Don't worry: other huge commits will come after this.
Which means that reduz' beloved style which we all became used to
will now be changed automatically to remove the first empty line.
This makes us lean closer to 1TBS (the one true brace style) instead
of hybridating it with some Allman-inspired spacing.
There's still the case of braces around single-statement blocks that
needs to be addressed (but clang-format can't help with that, but
clang-tidy may if we agree about it).
Part of #33027.
Using `clang-tidy`'s `modernize-use-default-member-init` check and
manual review of the changes, and some extra manual changes that
`clang-tidy` failed to do.
Also went manually through all of `core` to find occurrences that
`clang-tidy` couldn't handle, especially all initializations done
in a constructor without using initializer lists.
Part of #33027, also discussed in #29848.
Enforcing the use of brackets even on single line statements would be
preferred, but `clang-format` doesn't have this functionality yet.
Now the stack saved in a `GDScriptFunctionState` is cleared as soon as the `yield()` operation is known not to be resumed because either the script, the instance or both are deleted.
This clears problems like leaked objects by eliminating cases of circular references between `GDScriptFunctionState`s preventing them and the objects they refer to in their saved stacks from being released. As an example, this makes using `SceneTreeTimer` safer.
Furthermore, with this change it's now possible to print early warnings about `yield()`s to released script/instances, as now we know they won't be successfully resumed as the condition for that happens. However, this PR doesn't add such messages, to keep the observed behavior the same for the time being.
Also, now a backup of the function name in `GDScriptFunctionState` is used, since the script may not be valid by the time the function name is needed for the resume-after-yield error messages.
For us, it practically only changes the fact that `A<A<int>>` is now
used instead of the C++03 compatible `A<A<int> >`.
Note: clang-format 10+ changed the `Standard` arguments to fully
specified `c++11`, `c++14`, etc. versions, but we can't use `c++17`
now if we want to preserve compatibility with clang-format 8 and 9.
`Cpp11` is still supported as deprecated alias for `Latest`.
This is needed because of the new changes to Variant. The reference
counter is increased by adding it to a Variant, which means no GDScript
will be freed (or will be double freed if manually freed somewhere).
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
