Stats TSAN fixes.
Optimizations to FCycleCounter::Start() to only read the stat name once.

Ensure that all branches within FGenericPlatformMisc::RootDir() produce an absolute path with no duplicate slashes
Remove relative->abs conversion of root dir from FPaths::MakeStandardFilename(), now that we know RootDir() always returns an absolute path
Derived from the content of this PR:
PR #3742: Treat RootDirectory the same way as Standardized (Contributed by TroutZhang)
Change 3764058 by Graeme.Thornton
Generate a .code-workspace file for the current workspace. Allows foreign projects to "mount" the UE4 folder so that the engine tasks are avaible, and all engine source is visible to VSCode for searching purposes
#jira UE-52359
Change 3764705 by Steve.Robb
Better handling of whitespace in ImportText_Internal() for set and map properties.
Containers are now emptied upon import failure, to avoid leaving bad container states (unhashed, partial data).
Fix to USetProperty's temp buffer size to avoid buffer overruns.
Duplicate map keys are now skipped during import, same as USetProperty's behavior.
Change 3764731 by Steve.Robb
Don't re-run UHT if only source files have changed in the same folder as headers. This was already done for hot reload, but there's no reason why it should be limited to that.
Change 3765923 by Graeme.Thornton
VSCode - "taskName" -> "label" for C# build tasks
Change 3766018 by Steve.Robb
constexpr constructor for TAtomic.
Change 3766037 by Steve.Robb

Change 3770567 by Ben.Marsh
Add a FAnnotatedArchiveFormatter interface which allows querying structural type information that may not be in binary archives.
Change 3770826 by Ben.Marsh
Move StructuredArchive implementation into Core, so primitive types can implement serialization overloads for it.
Change 3770875 by Steve.Robb
Redundant UScriptStruct::PostLoad removed, which was causing a race condition in async loading. This was re-establishing the CppStructOps, but that is unnecessary because native classes cannot change as a result of a load - only BP structs can, and they don't have CppStructOps.
Change 3772167 by Ben.Marsh
Add a context-free binary formatter that can serialize tagged data. This functions as a lower-overhead binary intermediate format for JSON data.
Change 3772248 by Steve.Robb
ThreadSanitizer fixes to FMalloc call counters.
Change 3772383 by Ben.Marsh
Separate archive metadata from FArchive into FArchiveContext, so it can be safely exposed to consumers of FStructuredArchive.

Change 3772963 by Ben.Marsh
Allow querying record keys and stream lengths from annotated archive formatters, since these archives have markup for field boundaries.
Change 3773010 by Graeme.Thornton
Added CORE_API to FArchiveFromStructuredArchive
Gave text asset format experimental option a slightly less random tooltip comment
Change 3773057 by Ben.Marsh
Add a flag to FArchive to determine whether the archive is text (IsTextFormat()).
Add support for seeking within FArchiveFromStructuredArchive. For text formats, data is serialized to an in-memory buffer, with names and objects serialized as indices into an array. For non-text formats, data is serialized directly to the underlying archive.
Also rename FStructuredArchive::TryEnterSlot() to TryEnterField().
Change 3773118 by Steve.Robb

UE4 - Fixed a linear search in EDL that caused performance problems for very large maps.
Change 3784503 by Ben.Marsh
Optimizations for FStructuredArchive:
* Store the depth explicitly in element objects, to avoid having to loop through the scope stack to find it.
* Prevent shrinking of arrays when removing elements.
* Add an inline allocator to the scope and container stacks.
Change 3784700 by Ben.Marsh
Remove the inline allocator from FStructuredArchive; checking whether the inline or backup allocator is being used is slower than just allocating up-front.

TBA: Remove the element type parameter to SetScope(). It isn't really needed; we can just assume the element ID correctly identifies the item on the stack.
Change 3794731 by Ben.Marsh
TBA: Optimize creation of stack elements for empty slots in FStructuredArchive. This saves a lot of bookkeeping when serializing a large number of individual fields. Since only one slot can be active at a time (and it only exists temporarily, until we write into it), we can just store the element ID assigned to it in a member variable.

Change 3770553 by Ben.Marsh
Adding structured serialization API to Core/CoreUObject for use with text-based assets.
* FStructuredArchive abstracts an archive which is made up of compound types (records, arrays, and maps). Values are stored in slots within these types.
* Records are string -> value dictionaries where the key names can be compiled out in non-editor builds or when WITH_TEXT_ARCHIVE_SUPPORT = 0.
* Maps are string -> value dictionaries where the key names are present regardless of the build type.
* Proxy objects are defined to express the context for serialization (FStructuredArchive::FRecord, FStructuredArchive::FArray, FStructuredArchive::FMap, FStructuredArchive::FSlot) which allows basic validation through static typing. These objects act as lightweight handles, and can be cheaply constructed and passed around on the stack. Most serialization to and from the archive is done through these objects.
* Runtime checks perform additional validation to ensure that serialized data is well formed and written in a forward-only manner, regardless of the underlying archive type.
* The actual input/output format is determined by a separate interface (FArchiveFormatter). Context validation (always causing matching LeaveArray for every EnterArray, etc...) is done by FStructuredArchive, so implementing these classes is fairly trivial. FArchiveFormatter can be de-virtualized in non-editor builds, where WITH_TEXT_ARCHIVE_SUPPORT = 0.
* Includes implementations of FArchiveFormatter for binary and JSON formats.
Change 3771105 by Steve.Robb
Deprecation warnings for PLATFORM_COMPILER_HAS_AUTO_RETURN_TYPES and PLATFORM_COMPILER_HAS_DEFAULTED_FUNCTIONS.

EMIT_CUSTOM_WARNING_AT_LINE moved to ClangPlatformCompilerPreSetup.h.
Change 3772881 by Ben.Marsh
Add support for serializing FName and UObject through FStructuredArchive.
In order to allow custom linker behavior when serializing objects:
* The constructor to JSON input formatter now takes a delegate to convert a string object name into a UObject pointer.
* The constructor to tagged binary formatter takes a delegate to serialize a UObject pointer into any form it chooses (likely an integer index into the import table)
Object and name types are stored as strings in JSON, using an "Object:" or "Name:" prefix to differentiate them from regular strings. Any strings that already contain one of these prefixes are prepended with a "String:" prefix (as is any string that already has a "String:" prefix).
Change 3772941 by Graeme.Thornton

Add structured archive serializer for TArray
Fix bug in structured archive where containers weren't being popped from the scope stack
Change 3772972 by Ben.Marsh
Add an adapter which presents a legacy FArchive interface to a FStructuredArchive slot.
Data is serialized into this slot as a stream of elements; raw data is buffered up into fixed size chunks, names and objects are serialized separately.
When used with FBinaryArchiveFormatter, this should result in all data being passed through to the underlying archive in a backwards compatible way, wiith no additional bookkeeping fields.
Change 3773006 by Ben.Marsh
Rename FStructuredArchive::FRecord::EnterSlot() to EnterField().
Change 3773013 by Steve.Robb
bUseInlining target rule added to UnrealBuildTool, which defaults to true, to allow inlining to be disabled for debugging purposes.

Minor fixes for FStructuredArchive related classes:
* Text-based archive formats are now compiled out when WITH_TEXT_ARCHIVE_SUPPORT = 0.
* Fixed issue with FTaggedBinaryArchiveFormatter state becoming corrupted when looking ahead at field types.
* FArchiveFieldName constructor is now explicit, to fix cases where strings were being passed directly to serialize functions.
Change 3774600 by Ben.Marsh
Add CopyFormattedData() function, which can copy data from one formatter to another. Add a test case to SerializationAPI that converts from data -> JSON -> binary -> JSON -> data.
This function can be used to implement a generic visitor pattern, by implementing a FArchiveFormatter which receives the deserialized data.
Change 3789721 by Ben.Marsh
TBA: Split FTaggedBinaryArchiveFormatter into separate classes for reading and writing.
Change 3789920 by Ben.Marsh
TBA: Support automatic coercion between any numeric types in tagged binary archives. Also report the smallest type that can contain a value, rather than just in32/double.
#jira UECORE-364
Change 3789982 by Ben.Marsh
TBA: Change FStructuredArchive::Open() to return a slot, rather than a record, to make it easier to implement a raw FArchive adapter.
Change 3792466 by Ben.Marsh
TBA: Better handling of raw data in text based assets. Short sequences of binary data are Base64 encoded as a single string. Longer sequences are stored as an array of Base64 encoded lines, push a SHA1 hash to detect cases where the data was merged incorrectly.
In order to allow inference of the correct type for a field, other fields called "Base64" will be escaped to "_Base64", and any field beginning with "_" will have an additional underscore inserted. Reading files back in reverses these transformations.
Change 3792935 by Ben.Marsh
TBA: Rename FArchiveFormatter to FStructuredArchiveFormatter for consistency with FStructuredArchive.
Change 3795100 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Rename the ModuleRules Definitions property to PublicDefinitions, to make its semantics clearer.

UBT: Add support for adaptive non-unity builds when working from a Git repository.
The ISourceFileWorkingSet interface is now used to query files belonging to the working set, and has separate implementations for Perforce (PerforceSourceFileWorkingSet) and Git (GitSourceFileWorkingSet). The Git implementation is used if a .git directory is found in the directory containing the Engine folder, the directory containing the project file, or the parent directory of the project file, and spawns a "git status" process in the background to determine which files are untracked or staged.
Several new settings are supported in BuildConfiguration.xml to allow modifying default behavior:
<SourceFileWorkingSet>
<Provider>Default</Provider> <!-- May be None, Default, Git or Perforce -->
<RepositoryPath></RepositoryPath> <!-- Specifies the path to the repository, relative to the directory containing the Engine folder. If not set, tries to find a .git directory in the locations listed above. -->
<GitPath>git</GitPath> <!-- Specifies the path to the Git executable. Defaults to "git", which assumes that it will be on the PATH -->
</SourceFileWorkingSet>

MAJOR FEATURES + CHANGES
==========================
Change 3121996 on 2016/09/12 by Ben.Marsh
Add support for Visual Studio 2017 (aka "15"; assuming consistent naming with other versions until final name is announced).
* Compiler, STL implementation and CRT are binary compatible with VS2015 (see https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/08/24/c1417-features-and-stl-fixes-in-vs-15-preview-4/), so no new third-party libraries needed so far. WindowsPlatform.GetVisualStudioCompilerVersionName() returns "2015" as a result.
* Default compiler for compiling and generating project files is still VS 2015 for now. Pass -2017 on the command line to GenerateProjectFiles.bat to generate VS2017 projects. Projects generated for VS2017 will use the 2017 compiler by default.
* Visual Studio source code accessor can talk to VS 2017 instances.
* Added a VS2017 configuration for UnrealVS, and added precompiled vsix package.
* Switched GetVSComnTools to check the SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\SxS\VS7 registry key rather than the individual product install registry key. "15" doesn't seem to have it's own "InstallDir" key, but this system seems to work for all versions of Visual Studio (including previous releases of VS Express).
* Removed ATL dependency from VisualStudioSourceCodeAccessor. It's not installed with VS by default any more, and is only used for a couple of smart pointer classes.
Tested running the editor and packaging TP_Flying for Win64. Packaging from the editor still defaults to using the 2015 compiler, so ConfigureToolchain() needs to be overriden from the .target.cs file if multiple Visual Studio versions are installed.
Change 3189363 on 2016/11/07 by Ben.Marsh
Consolidate functionality for determining the path to MSBuild.exe to use for compiling UE4 tools into a single batch file (GetMSBuildToolPath) and fix "Clean" not working on PS4 due to include/library paths being set to something by the Visual Studio environment.
Change 3210598 on 2016/11/27 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Prevent the name of each file compiled being output twice on XboxOne. Compiler already outputs this string; the action doesn't need to.

UGS: Add a warning when syncing latest would remove changes that have been authored locally. Typically happens when working with precompiled binaries.
Change 3211656 on 2016/11/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move ModuleRules and TargetRules into their own file.
Change 3211797 on 2016/11/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove utility functions from TargetRules for checking different classes of target types. Moving TargetRules to be data-only.
Change 3211833 on 2016/11/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove overridable configuration name from target rules. This feature is not used anywhere.
Change 3211859 on 2016/11/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Deprecate the GetGeneratedCodeVersion() callback in favor of a member variable instead.
Change 3211942 on 2016/11/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove legacy code which tries to change the output paths for console binaries. Output paths for monolithic binaries are always in the project folder now.
Change 3215333 on 2016/11/30 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Replace the GetSupportedPlatforms() callback on TargetRules with a SupportedPlatforms attribute. Since a TargetRules object can only be instantiated with an actual platform, it doesn't make sense for it to be an instance method.
Change 3215482 on 2016/11/30 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the GetSupportedConfigurations() callback on the TargetRules class. A configuration is required to construct a TargetRules instance, so it doesn't make sense to need to call an instance method to find out which configurations are supported.
Change 3215743 on 2016/11/30 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Deprecate the TargetRules.ShouldCompileMonolithic() function: this function requires access to the global command line to operate correctly, which prevents creating target-specific instances, and does not use the platform/configuration passed into the TargetRules constructor.
Rather than being a callback, the LinkType field can now be set to TargetLinkType.Modular or TargetLinkType.Monolithic from the constructor as appropriate. The default value (TargetLinkType.Default) results in the default link type for the target type being used. Parsing of the command-line overrides is now done when building the TargetDescriptor.
Change 3215778 on 2016/11/30 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Mark overrides of the TargetRules.GetModulesToPrecompile method as obsolete.
Change 3217681 on 2016/12/01 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Prevent UE4Build deleting .modules files when running with the -Clean argument; these files are artifacts generated by UBT itself, not by the exported XGE script.
Change 3217723 on 2016/12/01 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Run pre- and post-build steps for all plugins that are being built, not just those that are enabled.
Change 3217930 on 2016/12/01 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Add a perforce settings window, allowing users to set optional values for tuning Perforce performance on unreliable connections.
Change 3218762 on 2016/12/02 by Ben.Marsh
Enable warnings whenever an undefined macro is used in a constant expression inside an #if or #elif directive, and fix existing violations.
Change 3219161 on 2016/12/02 by Ben.Marsh
Core: Use the directory containing the current module to derive the UE4 base directory, rather than the executable directory. Allows UE4 to be hosted by a process in a different directory.
Change 3219197 on 2016/12/02 by Ben.Marsh
Core: When loading a DLL from disk, convert any relative paths to absolute before calling LoadLibrary. The OS resolves these paths relative to the directory containing the process executable -- not the working directory -- so paths need to be absolute to allow UE4 to be hosted by a process elsewhere.
Change 3219209 on 2016/12/02 by Ben.Marsh
Replace some calls to LoadLibrary() with FPlatformProcess::GetDllHandle(). The UE4 function makes sure that relative paths are resolved relative to the correct base directory, which is important when the host executable is not in Engine/Binaries/Win64.
Change 3219610 on 2016/12/02 by Ben.Marsh
Add the -q (quiet) option to the Mac unzip command, since it's creating too much log output to be useful.
Change 3219731 on 2016/12/02 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Add option to disable IWYU checks regarding the use of monolithic headers (Engine.h, UnrealEd.h, etc...) and including the matching header for a cpp file first. bEnforceIWYU can be set to false in UEBuildConfiguration or on a per-module basis in the module rules.
Change 3220796 on 2016/12/04 by Ben.Marsh
Remove PrepForUATPackageOrDeploy from the UEBuildDeploy base class. It never has to be accessed through the base class anyway.
Change 3220825 on 2016/12/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Change all executors to derive from a common base class (ActionExecutor).
Change 3220834 on 2016/12/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the global CommandLineContains() function.
Change 3222706 on 2016/12/05 by Ben.Marsh

Merging CL 3223369 from 4.14 branch: Use the same logic as GetMsBuildPath.bat inside FDesktopPlatformBase to determine path to MSBuild.exe
Change 3223817 on 2016/12/06 by Ben.Marsh
Remove non-ANSI characters from source files. Compiler/P4 support is patchy for this, and we want to avoid failing prey to different codepages resulting in different interpretations of the source text.
Change 3224046 on 2016/12/06 by Ben.Marsh
Remove the need for the iOS/TVOS deployment instances to have an IOSPlatformContext instance. The only dependency between the two -- a call to GetRequiredCapabilities() -- is now implemented by querying the INI file for the supported architectures when neeeded.
Change 3224792 on 2016/12/07 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Touch PCH wrapper files whenever the file they include is newer rather than writing the timestamp for the included file into it as a comment. Allows use of ccache and similar tools.
Change 3225212 on 2016/12/07 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move settings required for deployment into the UEBuildDeployTarget class, allowing them to be serialized to and from a file the intermediate directory without having to construct a phony UEBuildTarget to deploy.
Deployment is now performed by a method on UEBuildPlatform, rather than having to create a UEBuildPlatformContext and using that to create a UEBuildDeploy object.
The -prepfordeploy UBT invocation from UAT, previously done by the per-platform PostBuildTarget() callback when building with XGE, is replaced by running UBT with a path to the serialized UEBuildDeployTarget object, and can be done in a platform agnostic manner.

PR #3015: Fixes wrong VSC++ flags being passed for .c files (Contributed by badlogic)
Change 3228273 on 2016/12/08 by Ben.Marsh
Update copyright notices for QAGame.
Change 3229166 on 2016/12/09 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Rewritten config file parser. No longer requires hard-coded list of sections to be parsed, but parses them on demand. Measured 2x faster read speeds (largely due to eliminating construction of temporary string objects when parsing each line, to trim whitespace and so on). Also includes an attribute-driven parser, which allows reading named config values for marked up fields in an object.
Change 3230601 on 2016/12/12 by Ben.Marsh
Swarm: Change Swarm AgentInterface to target .NET framework 4.5, to remove dependency on having 4.0 framework installed.
Change 3230737 on 2016/12/12 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Stop UE4Build deriving from CommandUtils. Confusing pattern, and causes problems trying to access instance variables that are only set for build commands.
Change 3230751 on 2016/12/12 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Move ParseParam*() functions which use the instanced parameter list from CommandUtils to BuildCommand, since that's the only thing that it's instanced for.
Change 3230804 on 2016/12/12 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Add the IsPromotedBuild flag to Build.version, and only set the bFormalBuild flag in UBT if it's set. This allows UGS users to avoid having to compile separate RC files for each output binary.
Change 3230831 on 2016/12/12 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Warn when trying to switch streams if files are checked out.
Change 3231281 on 2016/12/12 by Chad.Garyet

UBT: Fix support for the OptimizeCode setting on Mac, HTML5, Android, Linux, iOS, and XboxOne, and use it to control optimization level in DebugGame configurations. Also determine whether optimization should be enabled for a module at the UEBuildModule level, rather than deriving it (inconsistently) from the ModuleRules enum in the toolchain.

UBT: Remove the NativeBuildEnvironmentConfiguration and NativeBuildEnvironmentConfiguration.TargetInfo classes; store the platform/configuration/architecture on the CPPEnvironment and LinkEnvironment directly.
Change 3150606 on 2016/10/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove support for C++/CLR modules. There's quite a lot of baggage to support it, and I suspect it's already rotted since we don't use it.
Change 3150628 on 2016/10/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove .NET framework assembly paths for C++ modules.

UBT: Move functionality for finding headers into its own class (CPPHeaders), rather than hijacking CPPEnvironment.
Change 3152101 on 2016/10/05 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Always force include PCHs, even if they're the first header in the file. Clang already has to work this way, as do shared pchs on Windows, and it's simpler to use the same system universally.
Change 3153231 on 2016/10/06 by Ben.Marsh

UBT: Rewrite code to generate/consume shared PCHs in a way that is compatible with Clang platforms (and which doesn't require supressing warnings on Windows)
* Per-module defines are now set via a generated header rather than the command line (Definitions.<ModuleName>.h). This header is force-included AFTER the shared PCH header.
* Shared PCHs are now built using the public compile environment only, eliminating situations where private include paths and definitions from the first module using the shared PCH were being passed to the compiler.
* Shared PCHs can now be generated in separate optimized/unoptimized variants if necessary due to per-module optimization settings
* Names of shared PCHs now follow the pattern "SharedPCH.<ModuleName>.h" to distinguish from private PCHs
* Enabled shared PCHs for Mac, iOS, Linux.

Build: Remove run conditions from agent setup steps. Should fix issues where an agent doesn't run because the preconditions for one of its nodes failed, but which doesn't prevent another node from running. (Also: being able to see an expanded list of job steps is a useful feature, and it doesn't take much time to run if it's a no-op).

BuildGraph: More flexible <Copy> task for BuildGraph. Now takes "From" and "To" attributes, which may take individual files as well as wildcards, and permits renaming as part of copies. Separate "Files" attribute is still supported, but is now optional, and is used to filter the list of source files.
Examples, taken from Engine/Build/Graph/TagsAndFiles.xml:
<!-- Source and destination are treated as directories due to presence of 'Files' attribute -->
<Copy Files="..." From="Engine/Build" To="Output0" />
<!-- Single file -->
<Copy From="Engine/Build/Build.version" To="Output1/Output.version" />
<!-- Output treated as directory -->
<Copy From="Engine/Build/.../*.txt" To="Output2" />
<Copy From="Engine/Build/.../*.txt" To="Output3/" />
<Copy From="Engine/Build/....txt" To="Output4" />
<!-- With rename -->
<Copy From="Engine/Build/....txt" To="Output5/....old" />
<!-- Copy only subdirectories of Engine/Build, but maintain directory structure -->
<Copy From="Engine/Build/*/....txt" To="Output6/" />
<!-- Match bat*/.../*.txt -->
<Copy From="Engine/Build/bat...txt" To="Output7" />
<!-- Copy only PS4 subfolders -->
<Copy From="Engine/Build/.../ps4/..." To="Output8" />

BuildGraph: Add a <Move> task, which can move or rename files using the same syntax as the <Copy> task.
Change 3168034 on 2016/10/19 by Ben.Marsh
BuildGraph: Add support for multi-line properties, declared inside a <Property> tag.
Mutli-line properties can be useful for making lists for filtering. Each non-empty line inside the property tag is stripped of leading and trailing whitespace, and appended to the property value separated by a semicolon. For example, the following two properties have an identical value:
<Property Name="Prop1" Value="One;Two;Three;One hundred"/>
<Property Name="Prop2">
<!-- Some numbers -->
One
Two
Three
<!-- Values are delimited by newlines; spaces within a line are preserved -->
One hundred
</Property>

UBT: Fix chronic algorithmic complexity of StableTopologicalSort(). Was recursively building lists of dependencies for each module, scanning linearly to find dependencies, and only caching pairs of modules being checked. Now caches a flat set of dependencies for each module.
Previously took >10s to run on my machine, now takes < 0.2s.
Change 3169271 on 2016/10/20 by Ben.Marsh
BuildGraph: Modify implementation of task merging. Instead of combining multiple tasks together, allow any task to supply a proxy executor instance deriving from ITaskExecutor, to which other tasks can be added. Keeps the in-memory representation closer to the script representation, and makes it easier to re-export preprocessed scripts and do in-memory analysis of the graph.

Consolidate functionality for determining the path to MSBuild.exe to use for compiling UE4 tools into a single batch file (GetMSBuildToolPath) and fix "Clean" not working on PS4 due to include/library paths being set to something by the Visual Studio environment.

UBT: Reduce the number of resource files needed to compile local builds. ModuleVersionResource.rc.inl is now always only compiled once, and linked into each output binary. The default PCLaunch.rc file is also only compiled once, expect when making formal builds (where -formal is passed on the command line, or a changelist is set in Build.version). This ensures that the OriginalFileName metadata is still set for output binaries in binary releases.
