It was initially implemented in #5871 for Godot 3.0, but never really
completed or thoroughly tested for most platforms. It then stayed in
limbo and nobody seems really keen to finish it, so it's better to
remove it in 4.0, and re-add eventually (possibly with a different API)
if there's demand and an implementation confirmed working on all
platforms.
Closes#8770.
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.
-Texture renamed to Texture2D
-TextureLayered as base now inherits 2Darray, cubemap and cubemap array
-Removed all references to flags in textures (they will go in the shader)
-Texture3D gone for now (will come back later done properly)
-Create base rasterizer for RenderDevice, RasterizerRD
Add check to prevent compositor sync if the graphics driver is forcing vsync.
Fixes#35038.
(Addendum: this PR does not negatively impact users unaffected by #35038.)
Unify pack file version and magic to avoid hardcoded literals.
`version.py` now always includes `patch` even for the first release in
a new stable branch (e.g. 3.2). The public name stays without the patch
number, but `Engine.get_version_info()` already included `patch == 0`,
and we can remove some extra handling of undefined `VERSION_PATCH` this
way.

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.
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.

This makes it possible to know whether the window is focused
at a given time, without having to track the focus state manually
using `NOTIFICATION_WM_FOCUS_IN` and `NOTIFICATION_WM_FOCUS_OUT`.
This partially addresses #33928.
WM_MOUSEWHEEL and WM_MOUSEHWHEEL report mouse coordinates relative to
the screen (see lParam in [1]), rather than to the window like the rest
of the mouse events.
The current code already makes adjustments to take that into account.
However, it only makes the adjustments if the mouse is not captured, and
the coordinates are always relative to the screen regardless of whether
the mouse is captured or not, so let's fix the code to always
consistently apply the adjustments.
This fixes#29559.

Currently, the console appears when running OS.execute in an exported project,
but not in the editor. This change prevents it from appearing in either.
Only affects console applications.
The basic point is as in 2.1 (appending the PCK into the executable), but this implementation also patches a dedicated section in the ELF/PE executable so that it matches the appended data perfectly.
The usage of integer types is simplified in existing code; namely, using plain `int` for small quantities.
It's the recommended way to set those, and is more portable
(automatically prepends -D for GCC/Clang and /D for MSVC).
We still use CPPFLAGS for some pre-processor flags which are not
defines.
This is an editor setting and its value can also be toggled
using an entry in the Editor toolbar. The console will still
appear briefly when starting the project manager or editor,
as it's still compiled as console application.
Does not impact exported games, which will still run without
console in release and with console in debug mode.
A project setting or export option could be added to disable
it in debug mode if there's demand for it, but that would
greatly reduce the usefulness of debug builds if Windows users
can no longer report error and crash messages.
Fixes#17889.

Warnings raised by Emscripten 1.38.0 and MinGW64 5.0.4 / GCC 8.3.0.
JS can now build with `werror=yes warnings=extra`.
MinGW64 still has a few warnings to resolve with `warnings=extra`,
and only one with `warnings=all`.
Part of #29033 and #29801.
This is a new singleton where camera sources such as webcams or cameras on a mobile phone can register themselves with the Server.
Other parts of Godot can interact with this to obtain images from the camera as textures.
This work includes additions to the Visual Server to use this functionality to present the camera image in the background. This is specifically targetted at AR applications.
In x11, windows and osx crash handlers, check project settings exists
before looking up the crash handler message setting.
Avoids crashing the crash handler when handling a crash outside project
settings lifetime. Instead omitting the configurable message and
continuing with trace dump.
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.
When getting system directories for Windows, we currently use
SHGetFolderPathW. This is a deprecated function and doesn't support
"Downloads" folders.
As a replacement, this commit uses the newer SHGetKnownFolderPath
function, which is supported since Windows Vista. Godot 3.0 only
supports Windows 7+, so we don't need to use SHGetFolderPathW for
backwards compatibility.
Fixes#26876
On Windows, when "Language for non-Unicode programs" were set to "Japanese (Japan)", MSVC would by default use Shift JIS (code page 932) to interpret source files, which would result in test_string failing to compile because of characters in `test_34()`. Forcing utf-8 for MSVC fixes the issue
It seems to stay compatible with formatting done by clang-format 6.0 and 7.0,
so contributors can keep using those versions for now (they will not undo those
changes).
GLES2 is not designed to be a drop-in replacement for the GLES3 backend,
so the fallback mode has to be used knowingly. It *can* make sense for
simple projects which make sure to handle the differences between both
rendering backends, but most users should stick to one supported backend.
By making it opt-in, we can now use this parameter to define whether to
export ETC textures to Android and iOS when using GLES3 + Fallback.
When using GLES3 without Fallback on Android, set the proper min GLES
version in the AndroidManifest.
Also made the option boolean and renamed it for clarity and to avoid
conflict with the previous String option (which would always evaluate as
"true" otherwise).
Fixes#26569.
We've been defaulting to WASAPI since 3.0 and it's superior to RtAudio
in all aspects.
Obsoletes and closes#25503.
Also enable WINMIDI on MinGW, this had been missed initially.
Fix os_windows.cpp and crash_handler_windows.cpp which had weird
dependencies on RtAudio.h's includes (ugh).
Also drop some unused files.
Renamed:
- `platform/iphone/sem_iphone.h` -> `semaphore_iphone.h`
(same for `osx`)
- `platform/uwp/gl_context_egl.h` -> `context_egl_uwp.h`
- in `platform/windows`: `context_gl_win.h`, `crash_handler_win.h`,
`godot_win.cpp`, `joypad.h` and `key_mapping_win.h` all renamed to
use `windows`. Some classes renamed accordingly too.
- `EditorExportAndroid` and `EditorExportUWP` renamed to
`EditorExportPlatformAndroid` and `EditorExportPlatformUWP`
- `power_android` and `power_osx` renamed to `PowerAndroid` and
`PowerOSX`
- `OSUWP` renamed to `OS_UWP`
Dropped:
- `platform/windows/ctxgl_procaddr.h`
While looking into a different issue, I've noticed that Visual Studio Intellisense does not work well for Godot project when using Windows Vista+ APIs (e.g. CreateThreadpool), i.e. it does not recognise the APIs because they are defined in Windows header files for Vista+ only.
This is because the WINVER and _WIN32_WINNT symbols don't have their values set in the generated Godot project file. This fixes the problem by setting the values when generating the project file.
Contrarily to what #23434 assumed, this is not a memory leak,
the VisualServerRaster instance is passed as a parameter to
VisualServerWrapMT's constructor.
Fixes#23437.
At least the ones I got when I compiled it using Mingw64 POSIX on Xubuntu 18.04. Plus use the Size2 of get_window_size() directly, rather than reconstructing it.

Also finally move freetype to its own env and disable warnings for it.
Still needs some work to fix the awkward situation of the freetype and
svg modules used in scene/ and editor/ respectively.
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
This adds a static is_viable() method to all rasterizers which has to be
called before initializing the rasterizer. This allows us to check what
rasterizer to use in OS::initialize together with the GL context
initialization.
This commit also adds a new project setting
"rendering/quality/driver/driver_fallback" which allows the creator of a
project to specify whether or not fallback to GLES2 is allowed. This
setting is ignored for the editor so the editor will always open even if
the project itself cannot run. This will hopefully reduce confusion for
users downloading projects from the internet.
We also no longer crash when GLES3 is not functioning on a platform.
This fixes#15324
Also increase AppVeyor cache size to 1024,
should match what is available for us in the free plan:
https://www.appveyor.com/docs/build-cache/#cache-size-beta
And drop obsolete debug_release option for Windows, superseded
by target=release and debug_symbols=yes.
Use a Microsoft recommended way of process termination for the project
process run from the editor. This allows loaded DLLs to receive and handle
DLL_PROCESS_DETACH notification and cleanup any global state before the
process actually exits.
This commit adds support for unicode strings in OS_Windows::move_to_trash.
Also reverts commit 6188388c5a as it did not add extra null character to the path string (SHFILEOPSTRUCTA and SHFILEOPSTRUCTW require path to be double null-terminated).
Fixes thread and process handles leak when running and killing project
from editor (caused by a missing CloseHandle call) plus a potential leak
when calling OS_Windows::execute with p_blocking and !r_pipe.
The leak could be easily observed with a Handles counter in Task Manager
(or Performance Monitor) for the Godot editor process.
- Refactored all builder (make_*) functions into separate Python modules along to the build tree
- Introduced utility function to wrap all invocations on Windows, but does not change it elsewhere
- Introduced stub to use the builders module as a stand alone script and invoke a selected function
There is a problem with file handles related to writing generated content (*.gen.h and *.gen.cpp)
on Windows, which randomly causes a SHARING VIOLATION error to the compiler resulting in flaky
builds. Running all such content generators in a new subprocess instead of directly inside the
build script works around the issue.
Yes, I tried the multiprocessing module. It did not work due to conflict with SCons on cPickle.
Suggested workaround did not fully work either.
Using the run_in_subprocess wrapper on osx and x11 platforms as well for consistency. In case of
running a cross-compilation on Windows they would still be used, but likely it will not happen
in practice. What counts is that the build itself is running on which platform, not the target
platform.
Some generated files are written directly in an SConstruct or SCsub file, before the parallel build starts. They don't need to be written in a subprocess, apparently, so I left them as is.
This commit makes operator[] on Vector const and adds a write proxy to it. From
now on writes to Vectors need to happen through the .write proxy. So for
instance:
Vector<int> vec;
vec.push_back(10);
std::cout << vec[0] << std::endl;
vec.write[0] = 20;
Failing to use the .write proxy will cause a compilation error.
In addition COWable datatypes can now embed a CowData pointer to their data.
This means that String, CharString, and VMap no longer use or derive from
Vector.
_ALWAYS_INLINE_ and _FORCE_INLINE_ are now equivalent for debug and non-debug
builds. This is a lot faster for Vector in the editor and while running tests.
The reason why this difference used to exist is because force-inlined methods
used to give a bad debugging experience. After extensive testing with modern
compilers this is no longer the case.
-Project/Editor settings now show tooltips properly
-Settings thar require restart now will show a restart warning
-Video driver is now visible all the time, can be changed easily
-Added function to request current video driver
Initialized the PID to -2, which will be the value returns in blocking-
mode where the PID is not available. (-1 was already taken to signify an
execution failure).
OS::execute will now properly return a non-OK error code when it fails
to execute the target file.
The documentation was rewritten to be very clear about the differences
between blocking and non-blocking mode.
Fixes#19056.
[x11] Preserve window size when calling this method.
[osx] Make sure it don't make the window resizable if it's not needed.
[windows] clean up the code.
- Fix a bug when mouse is confined don't update the cursor shape.
- Don't let the mouse leave the window when resizing to a smaller
resolution when MOUSE_MODE_CONFINED.
- Fix set_borderless_window to preserve the actual video_mode.widht/height.
- Adds q/quit option to console debugging
- Adds options (variable_prefix)
- Breaks into debugger with Ctrl-C in local debug mode (Unix/Windows)
- Added option to list all breakpoints
- Fixes add/remove breakpoint bug (invalid path parsing)
- Minor cleanup
Now generating mouse events from touch is optional (on by default) and it's performed by `InputDefault` instead of having each OS abstraction doing it. (*)
The translation algorithm waits for a touch index to be pressed and tracks it translating its events to mouse events until it is raised, while ignoring other pointers.
Furthermore, to avoid an stuck "touch mouse", since not all platforms may report touches raised when the window is unfocused, it checks if touches are still down by the time it's focused again and if so it resets the state of the emulated mouse.
*: In the case of Windows, since it already provides touch-to-mouse translation by itself, "echo" mouse events are filtered out to have it working like the rest.
On X11 a little hack has been needed to avoid a case of a spurious mouse motion event that is generated during touch interaction.
Plus: Improve/fix tracking of current mouse position.
** Summary of changes to settings: **
- `display/window/handheld/emulate_touchscreen` becomes `input/pointing_devices/emulate_touch_from_mouse`
- New setting: `input/pointing_devices/emulate_mouse_from_touch`
[Linux] Ensures that the custom cursor will be used when changing to
MOUSE_MODE_VISIBLE. Fix#3086
[Windows] Fix cursor flickering when MOUSE_MODE_HIDDEN.
[Mac] Fix possible cursor flicker when MOUSE_MODE_HIDDEN.
SCons has good compiler detection logic for MSVC compilers. Up to now,
Godot hasn't used it; it depends on passed-in OS environment vars from
a specific Visual Studio cmd.exe windows. This makes it harder to
build from a msys or cygwin shell.
This change allows SCons to autodetect Visual Studio unless it sees
VCINSTALLDIR in the os.environ. It also adds a 'msvc_version' arg for
manual specification of compiler version, and uses the existing 'bits'
arg to specify the target architecture. More detail could be added as
desired. It also adds 'use_mingw' to always use mingw, even if Visual
Studio is installed. That uses the existing mingw setup logic.
If people are used to building Godot in a Visual Studio cmd window,
this should not change the behavior in that case, since VCINSTALLDIR
will be set in those windows. (However, note that you could now unset
that var and build with any other MSVC version or target arch, even in
that window.)
I refactored much of platform/windows/detect.py during this, to
simplify and clarify the logic. I also cleaned up a bunch of env var
settings in windows/detect.py and SConstruct to use modern SCons
idioms and simplify things.
I suspect this will also enable using the Intel compiler on Windows,
though that hasn't been tested.
This commit adds a new rendering backend, GLES2, and adds a
project setting to enable it.
Currently this backend can only be used on the X11 platform,
but integrating into other platforms is planned.
The previous logic with VERSION_MKSTRING was a bit unwieldy, so there were
several places hardcoding their own variant of the version string, potentially
with bugs (e.g. forgetting the patch number when defined).
The new logic defines:
- VERSION_BRANCH, the main 'major.minor' version (e.g. 3.1)
- VERSION_NUMBER, which can be 'major.minor' or 'major.minor.patch',
depending on whether the latter is defined (e.g. 3.1.4)
- VERSION_FULL_CONFIG, which contains the version status (e.g. stable)
and the module-specific suffix (e.g. mono)
- VERSION_FULL_BUILD, same as above but with build/reference name
(e.g. official, custom_build, mageia, etc.)
Note: Slight change here, as the previous format had the build name
*before* the module-specific suffix; now it's after
- VERSION_FULL_NAME, same as before, so VERSION_FULL_BUILD prefixed
with "Godot v" for readability
Bugs fixed thanks to that:
- Export templates version matching now properly takes VERSION_PATCH
into account by relying on VERSION_FULL_CONFIG.
- ClassDB hash no longer takes the build name into account, but limits
itself to VERSION_FULL_CONFIG (build name is cosmetic, not relevant
for the API hash).
- Docs XML no longer hardcode the VERSION_STATUS, this was annoying.
- Small cleanup in Windows .rc file thanks to new macros.

Current this is hardcoded as '1' for any platform except Unix. The
little is_wow64() dance is required to get correct output on a 32bit
compiled godot running on 64bit Windows according to MSDN.
This code should be UWP safe but I have no way to test that so it's not
implemented for UWP yet.
This adds a separate_debug_symbols option to the x11, windows, and osx
targets. This will default to adding normal debugging symbols to the
artifacts and only splits them when separate_debug_symbols=yes on the
Scons command line.
Also made LINK and CXXFLAGS configurable as command line options.
Note that LINK currently expects the *compiler* that will be used
for linking and will call its configured linker behind the scenes
(so g++, clang++, etc., not ld.gold). See #15364 for details.
Using `misc/scripts/fix_headers.py` on all Godot files.
Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
They are NOT constant methods, as state by the comment message,
they fetch the last packet and then forget about it, actively
changing the state of the object.
-Fixes to unwrapper (remove degenerates), makes Thekla not crash
-Added optional cancel button in EditorProgress
-Added function to force processing of events (needed for cancel button)
- Add an editor setting to read the rcedit path.
- Add settings to the export preset with icon and other exe information
(version, name, copyright, etc.)
Setting the vsync in the main thread, after the rendering thread starts
and takes the OpenGL context fails, so we need to do that before.
Also, for some reason, the main thread cannot make current the context
anymore.
Fixes#13447
This allows to specify any valid folder name (including with subfolders) to use
as user:// on all platforms. The folder is constrained to the platform-specific
OS::get_data_path() (typically what `XDG_DATA_HOME` resolves to).
Fixes#13236.
That "revision" was inherited from SVN days but had been since then
used to give information about the build: "custom_build", "official",
"<some distro's build>".
It can now be overridden with the BUILD_NAME environment variable.
Removes the need for _MKSTR all over the place which has the drawback of
converting _MKSTR(UNKNOWN_DEFINE) to "UKNOWN_DEFINE" instead of throwing
a compilation error.
Spec version 0.7 from https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html
(latest as of this commit).
Three virtual methods are added to OS for the various XDG paths we will use:
- OS::get_data_path gives XDG_DATA_HOME, or if missing:
~/.local/share on X11, ~/Library/Application Support/ on macOS and %APPDATA% on Windows
- OS::get_config_path gives XDG_CONFIG_HOME, or if missing:
~/.config on X11, ~/Library/Application Support/ on macOS and %APPDATA% on Windows
- OS::get_cache_path gives XDG_CACHE_HOME, or if missing:
~/.cache on X11, ~/Library/Caches on macOS and %APPDATA% on Windows
So for Windows there are no changes, for Linux we follow the full split spec
and for macOS stuff will move from ~/.godot to ~/Library/Application Support/Godot.
Support for system-wide installation of templates on Unix was removed for now,
as it's a bit hackish and I don't think anyone uses it.
user:// will still be OS::get_data_path() + "/godot/app_userdata/$name" by
default, but when using the application/config/use_shared_user_dir option
it will now use XDG_DATA_HOME/$name, e.g. ~/.local/share/MyGame.
For now everything still goes in EditorSettings::get_settings_dir(), but
this will be changed in a later commit to make use of the new splitting
where relevant.
Part of #3513.
There are still some left in the Android Java code, even stuff to swap between
GLES1 and GLES2 support from early Godot days... would be good to see some cleanup
there too one day.
The "graphics/api" option for Android exports is removed, as only GLES 3.0 is supported.
It can be readded when GLES 2.0 support comes back. Fixes#13004.
Previously logging logic was scattered over OS class implementations
with plenty of duplication. Major changes in this commit:
- Extracted logging logic into a separate Logger hierarchy. It allows
easy configuration of logging mechanism depending on compile-time or
run-time configuration.
- Implemented RotatedFileLogger which is usually used with StdLogger,
providing persistency of logs. It is often important to be able to
obtain logs of the game even in production to be able to understand
what happened prior to some problem. On mobile there previously was
no way to obtain the logs aside from having the device connected to
your machine.
- flush() is not performed in release mode for every logged line. It
is only performed for errors.
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.
Now that we have a built-in stacktrace on a segfault it would be useful
to have debug information on debug_release builds so that bugreports can
include this information. Without this debug info we will still get
function names in the backtrace but not file location.
This commit will by default build all targets with minimal debug info
and then strip the information into separate files. On MacOS this is a
.dSYM file, on Linux/MingW this is a .debug file. MacOSX will
automatically load a dSYM file if it exists in its debugger. On
Linux/MingW we create a 'gnu debuglink' meaning that gdb and friends
will automatically find the debug symbols if they exist.
Existing workflow for developers does not change at all, except that we
now create two instead of one build artifact by default.
This commit also adds a 'debug_symbols' option to X11, MacOS, and MingW
targets. The default is 'yes' which corresponds to -g1. The alternatives
are 'no' (don't generate debug infos at all) or 'full' which runs with
-g2. A target=debug build will now build with -g3.
After discussing with @reduz and @akien-mga it was decided that we do
not allow assignments or declarations in if statements. This PR removes
the instances of this I could find by automated means.
We need the efficient SRWLock methods which are not supported on Vista,
and loading them dynamically while providing fallbacks is not worth the
effort. Closes#10243.
Sorry Vista users... As you are running a supported which is no longer
supported by Microsoft (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet),
we can only encourage you to upgrade to a more recent version if you can,
or switch to Linux, which should give your old hardware a new youth.
When looking up a symbol from a library, previously an error was
shown when the symbol did not exist. That caused confusion when the
lookup was completely optional.
This adds a new parameter to that method so that those errors can
be handled manually if needed.
