this allows us to use the `SinCos` method more conveniently with
`real_t`.
Using `Math.SinCos` is often cheaper than separate calls to `Math.Sin`

them as properties.
- Avoid generic types in `ScriptPathAttributeGenerator`, this
means they won't be added to the `[AssemblyHasScripts]` attribute
and a `[ScriptPath]` attribute won't be added to the class.
Since generic classes can't be used as scripts they shouldn't use
those attributes, this also makes CSharpScript consider those types
invalid since they won't be added to the script/type map.

This was a regression from 17b2838f39.
`MarshalUtils` was changed in the source generators to use
`ConvertTo<T>` and `CreateFrom<T>`, which don't support `GodotObject[]`
because it would need reflection.
As such, we need to keep the custom cases for `GodotObject[]` in
`MarshalUtils`.
- Exposes the properties of C# attribute so they can be accessed from
reflection, renaming them to PascalCase to follow .NET conventions.
- Added some documentation to the newly exposed members.
- Made attribute properties readonly to avoid giving the impression that
they could be modified.
This commit replaces most usages of `ConvertManagedObjectToVariant` and
`ConvertVariantToManagedObjectOfType`, by using the `Godot.Variant`
struct instead of `System.Object`.
The most notable change is to the `GetGodotPropertyDefaultValues` method
that's generated for scripts. The dictionary it returns now stores
`Godot.Variant` values.
Remaining usages are:
- The `DelegateUtils` class, for the serialization of closure display
classes during assembly reloading by the editor. These display classes
are compiler generated classes to store values captured by a closure.
Since it's generated by the compiler, the only way we have to access
the fields is through reflection. This leads to using `System.Object`.
- Converting parameters when invoking constructors from the engine.
This will be replaced with source generators in the future.
- Legacy support for old `GetGodotPropertyDefaultValues` return values.
We need to keep supporting the old version of this generated method
for some time. Otherwise, if loading a project built with the previous
version, it could lead to the loss of exported property values.
Ideally, we should remove this legacy support before a stable release.
Its two usages were:
- The Array `ICollection.CopyTo` implementation.
It's possible that this class shouldn't be implementing the
non-generic `ICollection`, but this commit doesn't change that.
The new implementation stores the elements as boxed `Variant` values.
- The `Variant.Obj` property.
I'm not sure if this property's existence is justified, but for now
I rewrote it as a simpler version of `ConvertVariantToManagedObject`.
- Removed `UnicodeAt`
- Removed `EndsWith`
- Removed `LPad` and `RPad`
- Deprecated `BeginsWith` in favor of `string.StartsWith`
- Deprecated `LStrip` and `RStrip` in favor of `string.TrimStart` and `string.TrimEnd`
- Remove `VariantSpanDisposer`, no need to dispose of the Variant Spans
since we are now borrowing the Variants instead of copying them.
- Remove `VariantSpanExtensions.Cleared` that was only used so the
Span was initialized for `VariantSpanDisposer` to know what to dispose.
- Fix stackalloc Spans to use constant VarArgsSpanThreshold
and avoid bound checks.
- Replaced `MD5Buffer`, `MD5Text`, `SHA256Buffer` and `SHA256Text` implementation to use the `System.Security.Cryptography` classes and avoid marshaling.
- Added `SHA1Buffer` and `SHA1Text`.
- Renamed `ToUTF8` to `ToUTF8Buffer`.
- Renamed `ToAscii` to `ToASCIIBuffer`.
- Added `ToUTF16Buffer` and `ToUTF32Buffer`.
- Added `GetStringFromUTF16` and `GetStringFromUTF32`.

- Added `ValidateNodeName`.
- Updated the documentation of the `IsValid*` methods.
- Moved `GetBaseName` to keep methods alphabetically sorted.
- Removed `Length`, users should just use the Length property.
- Removed `Insert`, string already has a method with the same signature that takes precedence.
- Removed `Erase`.
- Removed `ToLower` and `ToUpper`, string already has methods with the same signature that take precedence.
- Removed `FindLast` in favor of `RFind`.
- Replaced `RFind` and `RFindN` implemenation with a ca ll to `string.LastIndexOf` to avoid marshaling.
- Added `LPad` and `RPad`.
- Added `StripEscapes`.
- Replaced `LStrip` and `RStrip` implementation with a call to `string.TrimStart` and `string.TrimEnd`.
- Added `TrimPrefix` and `TrimSuffix`.
- Renamed `OrdAt` to `UnicodeAt`.
- Added `CountN` and move the `caseSensitive` parameter of `Count` to the end.
- Added `Indent` and `Dedent`.
These callbacks are used for marshaling by callables and generic Godot
collections.
C# generics don't support specialization the way C++ templates do.
I knew NativeAOT could optimize away many type checks when the types
are known at compile time, but I didn't trust the JIT would do as good
a job, so I initially went with cached function pointers.
Well, it turns out the JIT is also very good at optimizing in this
scenario, so I'm changing the methods to do the conversion directly,
rather than returning a function pointer for the conversion.
The methods were moved to `VariantUtils`, and were renamed from
`GetFromVariantCallback/GetToVariantCallback` to `ConvertTo/CreateFrom`.
The new implementation looks like it goes through many `if` checks
at runtime to find the right branch for the type, but in practice it
works pretty much like template specialization. The JIT only generates
code for the relevant branch. Together with inlining, the result is
very close or the same as doing the conversion manually:
```cs
godot_variant variant;
int foo = variant.Int;
int bar = VariantUtils.ConvertTo<int>(variant);
```
If the type is a generic Godot collection, the conversion still goes
through a function pointer call.
The new code happens to be much shorter as well, with the file going
from 1057 lines to 407.
Side note: `Variant.cs` was mistakenly created in the wrong folder,
so I moved it to the `Core` folder.
This allows using generic Godot collections as type arguments for other
generic Godot collections. This also allows generic Godot collections
as parameter or return type in dynamic Callable invocations.
We aim to make the C# API reflection-free, mainly for concerns about
performance, and to be able to target NativeAOT in refletion-free mode,
which reduces the binary size.
One of the main usages of reflection still left was the dynamic
invokation of callable delegates, and for some time I wasn't sure
I would find an alternative solution that I'd be happy with.
The new solution uses trampoline functions to invoke the delegates:
```
static void Trampoline(object delegateObj, NativeVariantPtrArgs args, out godot_variant ret)
{
if (args.Count != 1)
throw new ArgumentException($"Callable expected 1 arguments but received {args.Count}.");
string res = ((Func<int, string>)delegateObj)(
VariantConversionCallbacks.GetToManagedCallback<int>()(args[0])
);
ret = VariantConversionCallbacks.GetToVariantCallback<string>()(res);
}
Callable.CreateWithUnsafeTrampoline((int num) => "Foo" + num, &Trampoline);
```
Of course, this is too much boilerplate for user code. To improve this,
the `Callable.From` methods were added. These are overloads that take
`Action` and `Func` delegates, which covers the most common use cases:
lambdas and method groups:
```
// Lambda
Callable.From((int num) => "Foo" + num);
// Method group
string AppendNum(int num) => "Foo" + num;
Callable.From(AppendNum);
```
Unfortunately, due to limitations in the C# language, implicit
conversions from delegates to `Callable` are not supported.
`Callable.From` does not support custom delegates. These should be
uncommon, but the Godot C# API actually uses them for event signals.
As such, the bindings generator was updated to generate trampoline
functions for event signals. It was also optimized to use `Action`
instead of a custom delegate for parameterless signals, which removes
the need for the trampoline functions for those signals.
The change to reflection-free invokation removes one of the last needs
for `ConvertVariantToManagedObjectOfType`. The only remaining usage is
from calling script constructors with parameters from the engine
(`CreateManagedForGodotObjectScriptInstance`). Once that one is made
reflection-free, `ConvertVariantToManagedObjectOfType` can be removed.
We use collectible AssemblyLoadContexts as that's the only way to allow
reloading assemblies after building. However, collectible assemblies
have some restrictions:
- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/reflection-and-codedom/collectible-assemblies#restrictions-on-collectible-assemblies
Those restrictions can cause issues with third-party code, such as some
mocking libraries.
In order to work around this problem, we're going to load assemblies
as collectible only in Godot editor, and not when running games.
These issues will still exist in the editor, but this will be enough
for some users.
If the delegate target is an Object, the connected signal will be registered in that object instead of the middleman. So when that object is destroyed, the signal will be properly disconnected.
Scripts that are instantiated at some point will always be recreated
if they ever become placeholders to prevent non-tool scripts
instantiated manually by users to become placeholders, if they
do become placeholders due to errors that prevent instantiation
(such as a missing parameterless constructor) these scripts
will also be recreated replacing the temporary placeholder.
If a script is marked as a tool but becomes a non-tool script
in a rebuild, the script will become a placeholder and will
no longer be considered applicable to be replaced by an instance
since the user explicitly removed the Tool attribute.
Vector4 and Vector4i were implemented incorrectly in godot_variant.
They were also missing their respective Variant conversion callbacks
(used for generic collections).
Took the chance to remove unnecessary native calls for creating
Variant from Vector4, as now it can be done from C# (which is faster).
- Replace `IndexOutOfRangeException` with `ArgumentOutOfRangeException`
- Replace `Exception` with a more specific exception
- Add the parameter name to argument exception
- Update documentation for methods that throw exceptions
- Use `StringBuilder` to build exception messages
- Ensure exception messages end with a period
- Remove event as a valid target of `SignalAttribute`
- Stop adding the `[Signal]` attribute to events in bindings_generator
- Make bindings_generator use the `EventHandler` suffix to be consistent with the C# source generator
- Remove obsolete comment about the signal's delegate name
- MustBeVariant attribute can be used to enforce that generic types must
be a marshable from/to Variant.
- Also renames all diagnostic ids to be valid unicode identifiers.
Node methods in C# extended to use generics
now have the optional parameter `includeInternal`
like their non-generic equivalents.
Also, fixed a typo in the `Node.get_child` documentation.
- In cases where both `Xform`/`XformInv` and the `*` operator were
implemented the `Xform`/`XformInv` methods were removed in favor of the
`*` operator.
- In cases where the `Xform`/`XformInv` existed but not the `*` operator,
the `Xform`/`XformInv` methods were replaced with the `*` operator.
- In cases where no method existed, a new `*` operator has been
implemented to support the same operations that are supported in GDScript.
- Fixes the `Transform.Xform` and `Transform.XformInv` with `Rect2`
implementation to use a zero `Rect2` size to start expanding from
(which is how it's implemented in C++).
- Moves interop functions to UnmanagedCallbacks struct that
contains the function pointers and is passed to C#.
- Implements UnmanagedCallbacksGenerator, a C# source generator that
generates the UnmanagedCallbacks struct in C# and the body for the
NativeFuncs methods (their implementation just calls the function
pointer in the UnmanagedCallbacks). The generated methods are needed
because .NET pins byref parameters of native calls, even if they are
'ref struct's, which don't need pinning. The generated methods use
`Unsafe.AsPointer` so that we can benefit from byref parameters
without suffering overhead of pinning.

We were using it to workaround a limitation of `Unsafe.AsPointer` and
`ref struct`s. However, we can get the same result with some tricks,
since we have control over the declaration of these structs.
This new version does not support the following type arguments:
- Generic types
- Array of Godot Object (Godot.Object[]) or derived types
The new implementation uses delegate pointers to call the Variant
conversion methods. We do type checking only once in the static
constructor to get the conversion delegates.
Now, we no longer need to do type checking every time, and we no
longer have to box value types.
This is the best implementation I could come up with, as C# generics
don't support anything similar to C++ template specializations.
- Array and Dictionary now store `Variant` instead of `System.Object`.
- Removed generic Array and Dictionary.
They cause too much issues, heavily relying on reflection and
very limited by the lack of a generic specialization.
- Removed support for non-Godot collections.
Support for them also relied heavily on reflection for marshaling.
Support for them will likely be re-introduced in the future, but
it will have to rely on source generators instead of reflection.
- Reduced our use of reflection.
The remaining usages will be moved to source generators soon.
The only usage that I'm not sure yet how to replace is dynamic
invocation of delegates.
Changed the signal declaration signal to:
```
// The following generates a MySignal event
[Signal] public delegate void MySignalEventHandler(int param);
```
