UnrealBuild -> Unreal for EngineDirectory, RootDirectory, IsEngineInstalled, UnrealBuildToolPath
Remove CommandUtils EngineDirectory, RootDirectory, IsEngineInstalled - use equvalents from UnrealBuildBase.Unreal
#jira none
[CL 16648181 by jonathan adamczewski in ue5-main branch]
RootDirectory, EngineDirectory, UnrealBuildToolPath are now found in BuildUtilities' UnrealBuild namesapce.
The way these are computed has changed. Previously, it was assumed that the application is UnrealBuildTool, and paths were constructed relative to that assembly.
Now, the assumption is that the process is located under a "Engine/Build/DotNET" sub-path and paths are constructed relative to that.

MAJOR FEATURES & CHANGES
============================
Change 3805828 by Gil.Gribb
UE4 - Fixed a bug in the lock free stalling task queue and adjusted a comment. The code is not current used, so this is not actually change the way the code works.
Change 3806784 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Remove code to compile UBT when using UE4Build. It should already be compiled as a dependency of UAT.
Change 3807549 by Graeme.Thornton

PR #4358: Incredibuild use ShowAgent by default (Contributed by projectgheist)
Change 3822594 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Improvements to log file handling.
- Always create log files in the final location, rather than writing to a temp directory and copying in later.
- Now supports -Verbose and -VeryVerbose for increasing log verbosity, rather than -Verbose=XXX.
- Keep a backlog of log output before the log system is initialized, and flush it to the log file once it is.
- Allow buildmachines to specify the uebp_FinalLogFolder environment variable, which is used to form paths for display. When build machines copy log files elsewhere after UAT finishes (eg. a network share), this allows error messages to display the right location.
Change 3823695 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Fix issue where precompiled binaries would not be shown as available for a change until scrolling the last submitted code change into the buffer (other symptoms, like de-focussing the main window would cause it to go back to an unavailable state, since the changes buffer was shrunk).
Now always queries changes up to the last change for which zipped binaries are available.
Change 3823845 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Exclude C# projects for unsupported platforms when generating project files.
Change 3824180 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Add an option to show changes by build machines, and move the "only show reviewed" option in there too (Options > Show Changes).
#jira
Change 3825777 by Steve.Robb
Fix to return value of StringToBytes.
Change 3825810 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Reduce length of include paths for MSVC toolchain.
Change 3825822 by Robert.Manuszewski
Optimized PIE lazy pointer fixup. Should be up to 8x faster now.
Change 3826734 by Ben.Marsh
Remove code to disable TextureFormatAndroid on Linux. It seems to be an editor dependency.
Change 3827730 by Steve.Robb
Try to avoid decltype(auto) if it's not supported.
See: https://udn.unrealengine.com/questions/395644/build-417-with-c11-on-linux-ttuple-errors.html
Change 3827745 by Steve.Robb
Initializer list support for TMap.
Change 3827770 by Steve.Robb
GitHub #4399 : Added a CONSTEXPR qualifiers to FVariant::GetType()
#jira UE-53813
Change 3829189 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Now always writes a minimal log file. By default, just contains the regular console output and any reasons why actions are outdated and needed to be executed. UAT directs child UBT instances to output logs into its own log folder, so that build machines can save them off.
Change 3830444 by Steve.Robb
BuildVersion and ModuleManifest moved to Core, and parsing of these files reimplemented to avoid a JSON library.
This should be revisited when Core has its own JSON library.
Change 3830718 by Ben.Marsh
Fix incorrect group name being returned by FStatNameAndInfo::GetGroupName() for stat groups.
The editor populates the viewport stats list by calling this for every registered stat and stat group (via FLevelViewportCommands::HandleNewStatGroup). The menu entry attempts to show the stat name with STAT_XXX stripped from the start as the menu item label, with the free-form text description as a tooltip.
For stat groups, the it would previously just return the stat group name as "Groups" (due to the raw naming convention of "//Groups//STATGROUP_Foo//..."). Since this didn't match the expected naming convention in FLevelViewportCommands::HandleNewStat (ie. STAT_XXX or STATGROUP_XXX), it would fail to add it.
When the first actual stat belonging to that group is added, it would add a menu entry for the group based on that, but the stat description no longer makes sense as a tooltip for the group. As a result, all the editor tooltips were junk.
#jira UE-53845
Change 3831064 by Ben.Marsh
Fix log file contention when spawning UBT recursively.
Change 3832654 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Fix error panel not being selected when opened, and weird alignment/color issues on it.
Change 3832680 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Fix failing to detect workspace if synced to a different stream. Seems to be a regression caused by recent P4D upgrade.
Change 3832695 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Invert the options in the 'Show Changes' submenu for simplicity.
Change 3833528 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Script to rewrite source files with public include paths relative to the 'Public' folder. Usage is: RebasePublicIncludePaths -UpdateDir=<Dir> [-Project=<Dir>] [-Write].
Change 3833543 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Allow targets to opt-out of having public include paths added for every dependent module. This reduces the command line length when building a target, which has recently become a problem with larger games (due to Microsoft's compiler embedding the command line into each object file, with a maximum length of 64kb). All engine modules are compiled with this enabled; games may opt into it by setting bLegacyPublicIncludePaths = false; from their .target.cs, as may individual modules.
Change 3834354 by Robert.Manuszewski
Archetype pointer will now be cached to avoid locking the object tables when acquiring its info. It should also be faster this way regardless of any locks.
#jira UE-52035
Change 3834400 by Robert.Manuszewski
Fixing crash on exit caused by cached archetypes not being cleaned up before static exit cleanup.
#jira UE-52035
Change 3834947 by Steve.Robb
USE_FORMAT_STRING_TYPE_CHECKING removed from FMsg::Logf and FMsg::Logf_Internal.
Change 3835004 by Ben.Marsh
Fix code that relies on dubious behavior of requiring referenced "include path only" modules having their _API macros set to be empty, even if the module is actually implemented in a separate DLL.
Change 3835340 by Ben.Marsh
Fix errors making installed build from directories with spaces in the name.
Change 3835972 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Improved diagnostic message for targets which don't need a version file.
Change 3836019 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix warnings caused by defining linkage macros for third party libraries.
Change 3836269 by Ben.Marsh

Change 3836546 by Ben.Marsh
PR #4412: fix type mismatch (Contributed by nakapon)
Change 3836805 by Ben.Marsh
Fix commandlet to compile marketplace plugins.
Change 3836829 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix ability to precompile plugins from installed engine builds.
Change 3837036 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Write the previous and new contents of intermediate files to the log if they change. Makes it easier to debug unexpected rebuilds.
Change 3837037 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix engine modules having inconsistent definitions depending on whether modules are only referenced for their include paths vs being linked into a binary (due to different _API macro).
Change 3837040 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove code that initializes members in ModuleRules and TargetRules objects before the constructor is run. This is no longer necessary, now that the backwards-compatible default constructors have been removed.
Change 3837247 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove UELinkerFixups module, now that plugins and precompiled modules do not require hacks to force initialization (since they're linked in as object files).
Encryption and signing keys are now set via macros expanded from the IMPLEMENT_PRIMARY_GAME_MODULE macro, via project-specific macros added in the TargetRules constructor.
Change 3837262 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Set whether a module is an engine module or not via a default value for the rules assembly. All non-program engine and enterprise modules are created with this flag set to true; program targets and modules are now created from a different assembly that sets it to false. This removes hacks from UEBuildModule needed to adjust behavior for different module types based on the directory containing the module.
Also add a bUseBackwardsCompatibleDefaults flag to the TargetRules class, also initialized to a default value from a setting passed to the RulesAssembly constructor. This controls whether modules created for the target should be configured to allow breaking changes to default settings, and is set to false for all engine targets, and true for all project targets.
Change 3837343 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the OverrideExecutableFileExtension target property. Change the only current use for this (the MayaLiveLinkPlugin target) to use a post build step to copy the file instead.
Change 3837356 by Ben.Marsh
Fix invalid character encodings.

#jira UE-53996

UBT: Simplify configuring bPrecompile and bUsePrecompile settings for modules. Each rules assembly can now be configured as installed, which defaults the module rules it creates to use precompiled data.
Change 3843790 by Graeme.Thornton
UnrealPak: Log the size of all encrypted data
Change 3844258 by Ben.Marsh
Fix plugin compile failure when created via new plugin wizard. Passing -plugin on the command line is unnecessary, and is now reserved for packaging external plugins for the marketplace.
Also extend the length of time that the error toast stays visible, and don't delete the plugin on failure.

Linux: fix crash due to lambda lifetime issues (UE-54040).
- The lambda goes out of scope in FBufferVisualizationMenuCommands::CreateVisualizationCommands, crashing the editor if compiled with a recent clang (5.0+).
(Edigrating 3819174 to Dev-Core)
Change 3846439 by Ben.Marsh
Revert CL 3822742 to always call Process.WaitForExit(). The Android target platform module in the editor spawns ADB.EXE, which inherits the editor's stdout/stderr handles and forks itself. Process.WaitForExit() waits for EOF on those pipes, which never occurs because the forked process never terminates.
Proper fix is probably to have the engine explicitly duplicate stdout/stderr handles for new pipes to output process, but too risky before copying up to Main.
Change 3816608 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Use DirectoryReference objects for all include paths.
Change 3816954 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove bIncludeDependentLibrariesInLibrary option. This is not widely supported by platform toolchains, and is not used anywhere.
Change 3816986 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove UEBuildBinaryConfig; UEBuildBinary objects are now just created directly.
Change 3816991 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Deprecate PlatformSpecificDynamicallyLoadedModules. We no longer have any special behavior for these modules.
Change 3823090 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Improve logging for child UAT instances.
- Calling RunUAT now requires an identifier for prefixing into the parent log, which is also used to determine the name of the log folder.
- Stdout is no longer written to its own output file, since it's written to the parent stdout, the parent log file, and the child log file anyway.
- Log folders for child UAT instances are left intact, rather than being copied to the parent folder. The derived names for the copied names were confusing and hard to read.
- Output from UAT is no longer returned as a string. It should not be parsed anyway (but may be huge!). ProcessResult now supports running without capturing output.
Change 3826082 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Add a check to make sure that all modules that are precompiled are correctly marked to enable it, even if they are part of the build target.
Change 3827025 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move the compile output directory into a property on the module, and explicitly pass it to the toolchain when compiling.
Change 3829927 by James.Hopkin

Change 3833533 by Ben.Marsh
Rewrite engine source files to base include paths relative to the "Public" directory. This allows reducing the number of public include paths that have to be added for engine modules.
Change 3835826 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Precompiled targets now generate a separate manifest for each precompiled module, rather than adding object files to a library. This fixes issues where object files from static libraries would not be linked into a target if a symbol in them was not referenced.
Change 3835969 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix cases where text is being written directly to the console rather than via logging functions.

Change 3596631 by Steve.Robb
Tool which takes a .map file and a .objmap file (from UBT) and creates a report which shows the size of all the symbols contributed by the source code per-folder.
Change 3596807 by Ben.Marsh
Improve Intellisense when generated headers are missing or out of date (eg. line numbers changed, etc...). These errors seem to be masked by VAX, but are present when using the default Visual Studio Intellisense.
* UCLASS macro is defined to empty when __INTELLISENSE__ is defined. Previous macro was preventing any following class declaration being parsed correctly if generated code was out of date, causing squiggles over all class methods/variables.
* Insert a semicolon after each expanded GENERATED_BODY macro, so that if it parses incorrectly, the compiler can still continue parsing the next declaration.
Change 3596957 by Steve.Robb
UBT can be used to write out an .objsrcmap file for use with the MapFileParser.
Renaming of ObjMap to ObjSrcMap in MapFileParser.
Change 3597213 by Ben.Marsh

Enable intellisense generation for VS Code project files and setup include paths properly
Change 3601762 by Ben.Marsh
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>
Change 3604032 by Graeme.Thornton
First attempt at automatically detecting the existance and location of visual studio code in the source code accessor module. Only works for windows.
Change 3604038 by Graeme.Thornton
Added FSourceCodeNavigation::GetSelectedSourceCodeIDE() which returns the name of the selected source code accessor.
Replaced all usages of FSourceCodeNavigation::GetSuggestedSourceCodeIDE() with GetSelectedSourceCodeIDE(), where the message is referring to the opening or editing of code.

Change 3612471 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move FastJSON into DotNETUtilities.
Change 3613479 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the bIsCodeProject flag from UProjectInfo. This was only really being used to determine which projects to generate an IDE project for, so it is now checked in the project file generator.
Change 3613910 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove unnecessary code to guess a project from the target name; doesn't work due to init order, actual project is determined later.
Change 3614075 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove hacks for testing project file attributes by name.
Change 3614090 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove global lookup of project by name. Projects should be explicitly specified by path when necessary.

Change 3614962 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move the VS2017 strict conformance mode (/permissive-) behind a command line option (-Strict), and disable it by default. Building with this mode is not guaranteed to work correctly without updated Windows headers.

Change 3573397 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Create a <ExeName>.version file for every target built by UBT, in the same JSON format as Engine/Build/Build.version. This allows monolithic targets to read a version number at runtime, unlike when it's embedded in a modules file, and allows creating versioned client executables that will work with versioned servers when syncing through UGS.

Fixed a build error in the WEX automation library
Change 3590034 by Ben.Marsh
Move functionality related to windowing and input out of the Core module and into an ApplicationCore module, so it is possible to build utilities with Core without adding dependencies on XInput (Windows), SDL (Linux), and OpenGL (Mac).
Change 3593754 by Steve.Robb
Fix for tuple debugger visualization.
Change 3597208 by Ben.Marsh
Move CrashReporter out of a public folder; it's not in a form that is usable by subscribers and licensees.
Change 3600163 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Simplify how targets are cleaned. Delete all intermediate folders for a platform/configuration, and delete any build products matching the UE4 naming convention for that target, rather than relying on the current build configuration or list of previous build products. This will ensure that build products which are no longer being generated will also be cleaned.
#jira UE-46725
Change 3604279 by Graeme.Thornton
Move pre/post garbage collection delegates into accessor functions so they can be used by globally constructed objects
Change 3606685 by James.Hopkin

In SClassViewer, replaced cast with TAssetPtr::operator* call to get the wrapped UClass.
Also removed redundant 'IsA's from AnimationRetargetContent::AddRemappedAsset in EditorAnimUtils.cpp.
Change 3610950 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Simplify logic for detecting Perforce settings, using environment variables if they are set, otherwise falling back to detecting them. Removes special cases for build machines, and makes it simpler to set up UAT commands on builders outside Epic.
Change 3610991 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Use the correct P4 settings to detect settings if only some parameters are specified on the command line.

==========================
MAJOR FEATURES + CHANGES
==========================
Change 3233612 on 2016/12/13 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Fix cases where precompiled binaries are submitted for a content change.
Change 3235584 on 2016/12/14 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Deprecate the overridable TargetRules.ShouldUseSharedBuildEnvironment() function; targets should specify which build environment to use by setting the BuildEnvironment field in their constructor instead.
Change 3235741 on 2016/12/14 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Deprecate the SetupBinaries() callback on the TargetRules class. Instead of overriding this, targets may override their launch module through the "LaunchModuleName" property in their constructor, and add extra modules to the "ExtraModuleNames" field on the TargetRules object itself.
Change 3238176 on 2016/12/16 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: New XML config file parser. Now reads once at startup and can be applied to instanced objects rather than global fields, and caches parsed output in a binary form for quicker initialization on subsequent runs.
Change 3238249 on 2016/12/16 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Add attribute-driven command line parser.
Change 3238462 on 2016/12/16 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Include the Platform, Configuration and Architecture on the TargetRules. Add a constructor which takes the TargetInfo object and deprecate the parameterless one; these fields are currently initialized before invoking the constructor in RulesAssembly.
Change 3238564 on 2016/12/16 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Deprecate the ModuleRules constructor which takes a TargetInfo argument. Replace it with a read-only wrapper around the target rules instead, so target-specific configuration options can be read without needing to access global static variables. Also require that it's passed to the base class constructor.
Change 3239919 on 2016/12/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the "PreferredSubPlatform" property. This is only used for Windows XP support, which is being retired anyway. Having the target define its own architecture is an awkward contractiction to maintain support for, since the target rules are constructed after the architecture already has been determined.
Change 3240061 on 2016/12/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove ThirdPartyHeaderFinder. I don't think anything is using this any more.
Change 3240175 on 2016/12/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Add the target name and project file location to the target rules.
Change 3240490 on 2016/12/19 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Remove Mac staging code that requires UAT to compile and construct .target.cs files when packaging, to check bUseSteam and bUseCEF3 flags. libsteam_api.dylib is now staged at build time by adding it as a bundle resource, CEF3 is already marked as a runtime dependency by CEF3.build.cs, and UnrealCEFSubProcess.app is already marked as a runtime dependency from WebBrowser.build.cs.
Change 3240717 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Allow configuring UAT to run as if on a build machine by passing the -buildmachine argument on the command line.
Change 3240718 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Remove target-specific properties that are no longer used by staging (bUsesSlate, bUsesCEF3, etc...). This stuff should all be handled inside UBT.
Change 3241002 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move most target configuration settings from UEBuildConfiguration to TargetRules. This encapsulates target specific settings that will allow instancing multiple targets in the future. To facilitate migration of settings to their new location, "UEBuildConfiguration" is now a property that returns the current target rules instance.
Change 3241027 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
Only copy the Steamworks dylib into the app bundle for monolithic builds. For all other times, just add it as a runtime dependency.
Change 3241055 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Only store a ReadOnlyTargetRules object on the instanced build target; finalize the configuration before it's instantiated.
Change 3241156 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
Update SwarmInterface.csproj to .NET framework 4.5, to match what all other C# tools are using.
Change 3241205 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
Replace all uses of TargetRules.TargetType with TargetType.
Change 3241881 on 2016/12/21 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove project file information from UEBuildContext base class. As configurable properties are moved on to the TargetRules object, it will no longer be a dependency to instantiate the platform with this path.
Change 3241895 on 2016/12/21 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove toolchain support for Windows XP.
Change 3241908 on 2016/12/21 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move settings for windows targets into a WindowsTargetRules class, which is exposed for targets to modify via the TargetRules.WindowsPlatform field.
Change 3242835 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix multiple binaries being created if plugins specify module names more than once. MfMedia.uplugin has MfMediaFactory listed twice.
Change 3242837 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
Change UE4EditorServices to include MacSystemIncludes rather than Cocoa.h directly; causes FVector to be defined incorrectly in non-unity builds.
Change 3242923 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
Build: Fixes for conforming incremental workspaces:
* P4 have table is now reset before deleting all the files. This prevents Perforce being out of sync if the delete fails for some reason.
* Incremental workspaces are skipped when running a clean operation, because they do not have a workspace capture file (causing a full re-sync, always). The "P4 Clean" option is still effective for cleaning these workspaces.
Change 3242961 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move entry points from PreBuildSync() and PostBuildSync() from UEToolChain to UEBuildPlatform, and make the original toolchain versions static. These functions are already at odds with the rest of the data flow within UBT because they rely on global state cached outside the toolchain instance, making assumptions that UBT is only ever going to be invoked with one target that's constructed in the same run and that nothing is being cached (eg. UBT makefiles). Moving them onto UEBuildPlatform simplifies the toolchain lifecycle for other platforms without leaving Mac and IOS any more limited than they were before.
Change 3242981 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove symbol server handling code into UAT's platform library, since it's never needed from inside UBT.
Change 3242999 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the StripSymbols() function from the UEToolChain base class. This functionality is only required by UAT, so it's better suited to being exposed through UAT's modular platform classes.
Change 3243022 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Require an instance of the target rules to be able to construct a toolchain in UBT. This will allow configuring toolchain-specific options from the target, using reflection from config files, and the command line.
Change 3243083 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move settings for the Windows compiler version to use onto the Windows-specific target rules.
Change 3243090 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Change the third party paths in UEBuildConfiguration to constants. Changing these would not work.
Change 3243423 on 2016/12/23 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move a lot of settings from BuildConfiguration to TargetRules. This allows different targets to have different settings, naturally, and moves converts argument parsing and config to be driven by attributes.
Change 3243516 on 2016/12/23 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the ValidateUEBuildConfiguration callback, which is no longer used. (XGE settings validation occurs in XGE.cs)
Change 3244020 on 2016/12/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the BaseIntermediatePath static property. Precursor to removing RelativeEnginePath and IntermediateFolder properties.
Change 3244074 on 2016/12/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the RelativeEnginePath variable from BuildConfiguration. UnrealBuildTool.EngineDirectory gives the absolute path, and can be used to construct a relative path when necessary.
Change 3244076 on 2016/12/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove BuildConfiguration.BaseIntermediateFolder; just use a fixed directory everywhere instead.
Change 3244083 on 2016/12/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Replace FileReference and DirectoryReference instance methods for manipulating files and directories with static methods, to mirror the System.IO.File and System.IO.Directory classes.
Change 3244441 on 2016/12/31 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove code to force PDBs when building with no debug info under XGE. Verified described symptoms (that it causes PCH generation to be serialized) no longer occur.
Change 3244687 on 2017/01/03 by Matthew.Griffin
Changed Exception to use FirstInclude.IncludeName as PrecompiledHeaderIncludeFilename can be null when this occurs
Change 3246112 on 2017/01/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix UHT failures building some targets with the -useprecompiled option, due to differences in the order that circularly dependent modules are parsed. Precompiled binaries are now kept in the regular AppBinaries list, but are excluded from the build at the last minute. Also change some checks from IsEngineInstalled() to bUsePrecompiled, to prevent headers being overwritten when running in a non-installed precompiled build.
Change 3246223 on 2017/01/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Prevent version manifests being overridden if a file is not being built as part of the target.
Change 3246387 on 2017/01/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove BuildConfiguration settings for UnrealCodeAnalyzer. This tool isn't used at the moment, but it's configured using global variables accessed from all over the UBT codebase, making it difficult to refactor the build options into an instanced object. If we bring this tool back from the dead in the future, it should be possible to implement it using the exported JSON target definition or the XGE manifest, similarly to how IncludeTool uses it.
Change 3247004 on 2017/01/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Simplify the logic for cleaning targets in UBT. Now uses FileReference/DirectoryReference objects everywhere, doesn't require the compile/link environment, and does all the checking to avoid deleting precompiled binaries in one place.
Change 3247250 on 2017/01/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Prevent precompiled binaries being added to the list of app binaries twice.
Change 3247594 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
Build: Run sample and template editors on the same agents as the other incremental builds. Remove ProtoStar, which does not have any non-precompiled editor target to build.
Change 3247763 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Allow the toolchain to update the list of build products for each module linked into a binary. Allows Mac to add dylibs and bundle resources specified per-module without having to construct a link environment and try to link them.
Change 3247775 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Instance the target compile and link environments when they are required during building, and don't persist them on the UEBuildTarget instance.
Change 3247811 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
EC: Add a batch file for testing postp filters.
Change 3247839 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
EC: Include the name of the file being compiled when parsing MSVC errors and warnings.
Change 3248101 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix Android support for force included headers.
Change 3248533 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
PR #3097: UBT project supports optional platforms (Contributed by PrimalJohnScott)
Change 3249205 on 2017/01/06 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Fix ParseTaggedP4Output throwing an exception if the same key name is specified more than once. This can happen when parsing the output from "P4 INFO", where multiple brokers are present.
Change 3249249 on 2017/01/06 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Check for the existance of AndroidManifest.xml within extracted AAR directories, rather than just checking for the existance of the directory itself. Perforce does not remove empty directories when cleaning a workspace unless the rmdir option is on the workspace, so this can cause incremental build failures to fail on build machines.
Change 3249486 on 2017/01/06 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Use relative paths in unity files when compiling for Mac/IOS, rather than generating a separate local/remote version of the file for gathering include dependencies. Absolute paths are only used to work around the way that MSVC concatenates paths internally; we don't hit the same problems when checking dependencies.
Change 3249736 on 2017/01/06 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Rename CPPEnvironment to CppCompileEnvironment, and remove the separate CPPEnvironmentConfiguration object. All settings are now stored directly on the CppCompileEnvironment object.
Change 3250179 on 2017/01/07 by Ben.Marsh
Fix creating installed build when root directory contains a space in the name.
Change 3250181 on 2017/01/07 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove some esoteric (and unused, AFAIK) options for orthogonally building different platforms.
Change 3250223 on 2017/01/07 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Merge the LinkEnvironment and LinkEnvironmentConfiguration classes together.
Change 3250233 on 2017/01/07 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Allow specifying a workspace-specific sync filter, which is applied on top of the standard filter. Also fix filter being cleared if the cancel button is pressed, and help text being stripped out.
Change 3250241 on 2017/01/07 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move the options for specifying additional Android architectures to target onto an Android-specific object on the TargetRules.
Change 3250400 on 2017/01/08 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move executor config settings onto the executor instances.
Change 3257708 on 2017/01/13 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the ThirdPartySourceDirectory constant; there are many places which hard-code or assume this location anyway, and it's not going to change.
Change 3260535 on 2017/01/17 by Ben.Marsh
Add an optional "RequiredSubmittedChange" setting to EC settings files. Allows a scheduled job to run even if there have been no code changes submitted. Test with the utilization capture job.
Change 3260875 on 2017/01/17 by Ben.Marsh
EC: Fix workspaces getting out of sync wrt. newly added files when jobs are aborted during a sync. In such cases, the P4 have table indicates the new files have been synced locally, but the workspace is forced back to a state before it had them due to the capture file. When a following sync tries to add them again, P4 believes the workspace already has them synced.
To work around this, we now write an additional file to the root folder of a workspace containing the last CL that was captured, and sync back to it before doing the reconcile.
Change 3261724 on 2017/01/18 by Ben.Marsh
Allow filtering job types from the list view in EC. Hide the utilization capture job by default. Also set up notifications for the utilization capture job.
Change 3261756 on 2017/01/18 by Ben.Marsh
IncludeTool: Prevent matching a full enum declaration as a forward declaration.
Change 3261932 on 2017/01/18 by Ben.Marsh
EC: Add support for specifying days of the week in schedules. The following syntaxes are supported:
"Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 10:30"
"Daily except Sunday and Wednesday at 14:30"
Also tweak display of dates relative to now to handle dates/times in the future, and include the date when specifying a day name.
#jira UEB-729
Change 3262676 on 2017/01/18 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Split UBTMakefile into its own file. (From PR #3106)
Change 3263893 on 2017/01/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Stop exporting platform classes from UBT, as well as all the referenced classes that have to be made public as a result. Any platform-specific functionality that needs to be shared with UAT is now exposed through wrappers in separate public classes, eg. WindowsExports.cs, IOSExports.cs, etc...
Change 3264291 on 2017/01/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix errors generating documentation in UBT, and enable it by default. Will catch more errors with new code being added. Originally in PR #3106, but redone due to conflicts.
Change 3264534 on 2017/01/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Include plugin config files in generated projects.
Change 3264571 on 2017/01/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Prevent overwriting .modules files if nothing has changed. On builders, it's common to build multiple editors in the same workspace, and changing the last modified timestamp causes BuildGraph to fail due to tampered files.
Change 3265745 on 2017/01/20 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Automatically open UGS when running the launcher for a second time, rather than prompting to close the original instance.
Change 3265777 on 2017/01/20 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Automatically close and reopen when UGS is re-ran with the shift key held down to switch into unstable mode.
Change 3268314 on 2017/01/23 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Make sure version manifests are stable by sorting the list of build products, so they are only touched if the contents have really changed.
Change 3269601 on 2017/01/24 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix symbol files being added to manifest for some platforms even though debug info is disabled.
Change 3269607 on 2017/01/24 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix bug where UBT would need to be invoked when switching between two editors sharing the same engine binaries on Mac. The location of the .modules file cannot be guessed on Mac by looking in the same directory as the primary output executable because it's an .app bundle, and the actual modules are nested several directories below that.
Change 3269608 on 2017/01/24 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix additional files copied into the app bundle always being updated on Mac. Now uses rsync --checksum to make sure only modified files are updated.
Change 3271062 on 2017/01/24 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fixes for bugs detected by PVS Studio (PR #3161)
Change 3272421 on 2017/01/25 by Ben.Marsh

#jira UE-41076
Change 3272810 on 2017/01/25 by Ben.Marsh
Fix VS2017 being displayed as 'Visual Studio 15' in the Windows target settings panel.
Change 3272935 on 2017/01/25 by Ben.Marsh
Fix Metal errors launching on Mac due to use of OSX environment settings before they are initialized. Toolchain settings are now constructed on demand in a separate class, for Mac, iOS and TVOS.
Change 3274167 on 2017/01/26 by Ben.Marsh
Fix resource files not being compiled in installed builds on Windows. Was causing metadata not to be embedded into executables.
#jira UE-36457
Change 3275557 on 2017/01/27 by Ben.Marsh
Expand checks for propagation of restricted folder names to include source files, and to ensure that each restricted folder is represented in the output. Also improve messaging to show the dependency chain leading to a restricted folder being referenced, and which folder it is.
Change 3275628 on 2017/01/27 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Splitting configuration files into one class per-file.
Change 3276784 on 2017/01/29 by Ben.Marsh
Add an authoritative list of confidential folder names, and expose it through global BuildGraph properties ($(RestrictedFolderNames) and $(RestrictedFolderFilter)). Also switch existing scripts to use it.
Change 3276792 on 2017/01/29 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Use UE4CSharp.prog files to indicate which projects should be included in the solution without having to hard-code a list of them in UBT.
Change 3277263 on 2017/01/30 by Ben.Marsh
IncludeTool: Merging various fixes.
* Fix warnings about #include directives after first code block from parsing monolithic headers.
* Fix exception on startup if the intermediate directory does not already exist.
* Add a special case for ignoring missing header guards from MonolithicHeaderBoilerplate.h, rather than marking it as an inline header. Marking it as inline prevents parsing include directives, which results in including CoreTypes.h from the wrong location.
* Create job objects for spawned compiler instances to prevent them trying allocating more memory than the system can spare.
* Remove (unused) code which makes assumptions about files ending with "Classes.h".
* Add a verbose per-file output log to aid with debugging.
* Negate the MakeStandalone command line option, which was added to allow tweaking forward declarations in already optimized files, so the optimized output does not have missing headers by default.
* Fix missing headers when creating standalone files, due to incorrect list of previous files being passed in to the OutputFile constructor. Now passes the original list of included files, not the output list.
* Fix initial header for a cpp file sometimes being removed. Forcibly including a header at the start of the file does not use the normal pathway for spidering through includes, so a second include of the same file was being generated. Any includes of that header were being forced into output, and the earlier include was then removed due to being redundant.
* Prevent forward declaring enums which have to be parsed by UHT. UHT relies on includes to determine a parse order, and will fail if the enum definition has not been parsed first.
* Use a relative path for private includes in the same module if there are any. Fixes some incorrect paths, and makes it clearer that we're doing something we shouldn't.
Change 3277307 on 2017/01/30 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix private PCHs not using correct header. Causes custom definitions to be excluded from the command line.

MAJOR FEATURES + CHANGES
==========================
Change 2864843 on 2016/02/12 by Ben.Marsh
Add individual 'status', 'outcome', and 'error_code' fields to parsed jobsteps. Should fix grid view not being able to display 'pending' icons.
Change 2865161 on 2016/02/12 by Ben.Marsh
Stop storing a reference to UEBuildTarget from UEBuildModule. It creates an awkward cyclic data dependency, and makes it easy for people to write lazy code that just reaches into the internal state of the build.
Change 2865643 on 2016/02/12 by Ben.Marsh
Rename UEBuildModuleType to UHTModuleType, and move implementation into ExternalExecution.
Change 2874408 on 2016/02/19 by Ben.Marsh

Add overloads for methods in FileFilter which take FileReference and DirectoryReference objects.
Change 2889602 on 2016/03/02 by Ben.Marsh
Treat shaders as code in UGS. Don't sync them as part of content-only syncs, and don't allow syncing past them without updated binaries.
Change 2889610 on 2016/03/02 by Ben.Marsh
Fix setting for using incremental builds not being saved. Also hide command to do incremental builds if the 'use incremental builds' option is not checked.

Removed Rocket specific batch files and made sure installed build won't try to include them
Removed last use of RocketGenerateProjectFiles.sh by using UBT directly instead
Change 2893349 on 2016/03/03 by Ben.Marsh
Add derived ReplicatedBranch to support mirroring the VR editor branch to GitHub.
Change 2894703 on 2016/03/04 by Ben.Marsh
Include *.usf when looking for the last code changelist. Also update version to 1.68.
Change 2897991 on 2016/03/07 by Ben.Marsh
Copy the changelist number to the clipboard when the user presses Ctrl-C. Update version number to 1.69.
Change 2898005 on 2016/03/07 by Ben.Marsh
Minor changes to support BuildGraph:
* UE4Build now has a static function that can update version files.
* Adding FileReference/DirectoryReference methods to FileFilter and CommandUtils.
* FileFilter treats any pattern containing a slash as implictly starting from the root directory, unless it begins with "...".
Change 2898095 on 2016/03/07 by Ben.Marsh
UAT - Don't retry builds if we're using local executor; we don't encounter failures due to timeouts.
Change 2898248 on 2016/03/07 by Ben.Marsh
UBT - Add the standard game include paths back in to plugin modules. Existing game code relies on this.
Change 2898615 on 2016/03/08 by Matthew.Griffin
Removed last uses of RunningRocket function
All seemed to be overly cautious about people using an Installed build to do non standard things, don't see any ill effects in the most common circumstances.
Change 2898681 on 2016/03/08 by Matthew.Griffin
Removed Automation.RunningRocket function as there are no more uses
Changed the majority of comments referencing Rocket mode that are now either about the engine being installed or from the Launcher etc.

Fix ERRORLEVEL not being correctly returned by build.bat, causing failed builds to be treated as succeeded builds when launched from Visual Studio.
#codereview Wes.Hunt
Change 2792683 on 2015/12/07 by Matthew.Griffin
Removed some usages of RunningRocket() function
Checks for whether engine tools need rebuilding should be ignored in all installed engine builds.
New Intermediate folders should be within project directory and engine's should not be removed when engine installed.
Change 2794194 on 2015/12/08 by Matthew.Griffin
Removed IsRocket function.
Changed IsEngineInstalled so that -NotInstalledEngine will always disable installed engine behavior.
Change 2801483 on 2015/12/14 by Matthew.Griffin
Removed uses of UnrealBuildTool.RunningRocket()
Mac Tool chain test was down to Engine libraries being pre-compiled
Allow Third Party dependencies in any monolithic target, not just games
All installed engine builds should use shared build environment
Removed test no longer needed now that projects from installed builds have game targets
Include engine source if it exists in any installed build to improve intellisense in VCProjects
Change 2803276 on 2015/12/15 by Matthew.Griffin
Removed Rocket switch from ProjectParams as it can always check Automation.RunningRocket()
Removed bGeneratingRocketProjectFiles from ProjectFileGenerator as it can always check UnrealBuildTool.RunningRocket()
Changed a few usages to IsEngineInstalled where obvious
Change 2814190 on 2016/01/03 by Ben.Marsh
Convert ParallelExecutor to managed code, so we can use it trivially from UAT without having to compile with UBT first. Should be moved into UBT at some point.
Also add a support class for creating managed child processes, which are terminated automatically if the parent process is closed. Currently only implemented on Windows, using P/Invoke. Also allows setting priority level of the process, which could replace the hacky way that we determine the physical processor count in UBT.
Change 2822503 on 2016/01/10 by Wes.Hunt
AnalyticsET now uses the Data Router protocol.
* Automatically detects configs that try to use the old endpoint and routes them to the new endpoint. This code is temp until internal games merge the code and have a chance to update their configs.
* There is a new attribute on BeginSession called "LegacyURL" that is "true" if the code needs to have its configs updated, as well as a LogAnalytics warning.
* Updated EngineAnalytics and AutomationAnalytics providers to use the new URL and specify any appropriate new, optional config values.
* Update CrashReporter provider to use new URL and simplified it's provider configuration (now uses AnalyticsET config struct directly).
Removed recently added GetUE4TypeOverride and moved it to the one place in Engine that needs it.
