Previously functions of the GDNative API were accessed by letting
the loader at load-time resolve the symbols. This causes troubles on
Windows (...sigh...), so now the GDNative API isn't exported anymore.
This means, that a library that wants to call a GDNative function
needs to access it via a struct of pointers that's passed to it at
right after the library was loaded. To make the usage easier, those
function pointers in the struct can be wrapped in actual function in
the global scope. This commit adds a generator for that wrapper code.
- The export process now builds complete .ipa on macOS, instead of just
creating XCode project.
- The project includes Capabilities games usually require: Game Center,
Push Notifications, In-App Purchase.
- Icons and launch screens can be specified in export preset.
On compulers that define __GNUC__ use computed goto to directly dispatch
the next instruction rather than going through another switch statement.
This saves a jump and some comparisons.
In tight loops this is is roughly 10% faster than the switch() method.
This release hides many struct members which provides easier forward
compatibility but is a break from previous releases. A few small macros
provide compatibility between both 1.1.0 and 1.0.x.
Fixes#8624.
This implement branch prediction macros likely() and unlikely() like in
Linux. When using these macros please ensure that when you use them the
condition in the branch really is very, very likely or unlikely. Think
90+% of the time. Primarily useful for error checking. (And I implement
these macros for all our error checking macros now)
See this article for more information:
https://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ/LikelyUnlikely
There are more places where these macros may make sense in renderer and
physics engine. Placing them will come in another commit down the line.
Rename user facing methods and variables as well as the corresponding
C++ methods according to the folloming changes:
* pos -> position
* rot -> rotation
* loc -> location
C++ variables are left as is.
We now allow booleanization of all types. This means that empty versions
of all types now evaluate to false. So a Vector2(0,0), Dictionary(),
etc.
This allows you to write GDScript like:
if not Dictionary():
print("Empty dict")
Booleanization can now also no longer fail. There is no more valid flag,
this changes Variant and GDNative API.
