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 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
Storing script references to pointer only in result.script_type could
lead to losing the last reference, causing further conversions from
Script* to Ref<Script> to fail.
Now result.script_type_ref is always set first, and then cleared in the
specific case of the script being the owner, to avoid cyclic reference
issues.
(cherry picked from commit 87d73faa66)
The removed check was adding a protection for the case where a `Reference` has not yet got its reference count initialized and a script is called on it. That would cause the object to be released after the call. The removed code was constructing the `Variant` via the `Object` constructor so it didn't deal with the reference count and so the release was prevented.
However, `Variant` no longer works that way so that check was useless. Now it's just illegal to run GDScript on a Reference whose reference count has not been initialized.
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).
(cherry picked from commit 4d960efafc)
The GDScript `load` mention is moved from the class `ResourceLoader`
description to the `ResourceLoader.load` method description instead,
where it is more likely to be found.
(cherry picked from commit a8404cf56c)
Modify usage of types so that the `Ref` created from `base_type.script_type` doesn't involve converting first to `Variant`, which will use the constructor for `Object *`, as if the argument wasn't a `Reference`, and therefore will convert back to null.
My initial attempt changed this in the gdscript code, which resulted in
a duplicate warning name in the builtin editor. We should just append
the warning name in the LSP instead.
This uses parens to match what is shown in the builtin editor.
(cherry picked from commit 8dcc39ec91)
Occasionally you want to ignore a warning with a `warning-ignore`
comment, and you have to go into the settings to look up what the
actual name of the warning is. This patch appends the warning name to
the end of the warning so you know what string to use to ignore it,
similar to other linters like pylint.
For example
```
"The signal 'blah' is declared but never emitted.";
```
is now
```
"The signal 'blah' is declared but never emitted. (UNUSED_SIGNAL)";
```
