Change 3209340 on 2016/11/23 by Ben.Marsh
Convert UE4 codebase to an "include what you use" model - where every header just includes the dependencies it needs, rather than every source file including large monolithic headers like Engine.h and UnrealEd.h.
Measured full rebuild times around 2x faster using XGE on Windows, and improvements of 25% or more for incremental builds and full rebuilds on most other platforms.
* Every header now includes everything it needs to compile.
* There's a CoreMinimal.h header that gets you a set of ubiquitous types from Core (eg. FString, FName, TArray, FVector, etc...). Most headers now include this first.
* There's a CoreTypes.h header that sets up primitive UE4 types and build macros (int32, PLATFORM_WIN64, etc...). All headers in Core include this first, as does CoreMinimal.h.
* Every .cpp file includes its matching .h file first.
* This helps validate that each header is including everything it needs to compile.
* No engine code includes a monolithic header such as Engine.h or UnrealEd.h any more.
* You will get a warning if you try to include one of these from the engine. They still exist for compatibility with game projects and do not produce warnings when included there.
* There have only been minor changes to our internal games down to accommodate these changes. The intent is for this to be as seamless as possible.
* No engine code explicitly includes a precompiled header any more.
* We still use PCHs, but they're force-included on the compiler command line by UnrealBuildTool instead. This lets us tune what they contain without breaking any existing include dependencies.
* PCHs are generated by a tool to get a statistical amount of coverage for the source files using it, and I've seeded the new shared PCHs to contain any header included by > 15% of source files.
Tool used to generate this transform is at Engine\Source\Programs\IncludeTool.

Console usability improvements
Display console autocompletion commands from the lexicographically first element up to either the total number of commands or MAX_AUTOCOMPLETION_LINES, whichever is least. The previous behaviour started the list "in the middle" and hid the first elements if there were too many matches. Thus "[ab ac ad]" with "aa" hidden now becomes "[aa ab ac]" with "ad" hidden.
To make scrolling work as expected, the input handling of the up and down arrow keys has been reversed so that the cursor iterates forward starting from the top with the down arrow key, and goes back up with the up arrow key. Command history is still accessed with the up arrow key.
This commit also undoes one of the most evil uses of operator overloading I've ever seen, on par with "#define true false" but more subtle
Color console autocomplete entries to denote their type: command, CVar or other (manual autocompletion entries). CVars are further divided into writeable and read-only variables.
Assume that manual console autocompletion entries are commands. This makes the autocompletion list colors more consistent and less noisy
Automatically select (but don't complete) a command on console character input. To prevent the autocomplete from becoming too trigger happy, no longer automatically complete commands for arbitrary key inputs that we happen to have a match for
Allow cycling through console commands with the tab key
Discriminate between first time and repeated tab presses and only scroll through autocomplete entries on the latter
Fix off-by-one error in console: "x more matches" line was being shown when the number of autocomplete elements was equal to MAX_AUTOCOMPLETION_LINES
Fix an off-by-one error that was causing the topmost console command to not be shown if there was an autocomplete scroll region
Show the currently selected autocomplete entry faded out behind the user's typed input
Slightly increase brightness of the normal input text colour to better distinguish between the typed and autocompleted parts of the input line
Left-justify command descriptions in the console autocompletion box
Detect overflow of console autocomplete lines on low resolutions and decrease the space used for description justification to compensate
Make the console input, history and autocomplete colours user configurable
Add console background transparency. Configurable, set to 15% by default
Add missing closing quote to the console dump HTML template

Change 2913104 on 2016/03/17 by Thomas.Sarkanen
Added indicator displayed on animation nodes when they use the 'fast path'
Added checkbox that can be used to audit Blueprint fast-path usage.
Switched almost all animation node widgets to derive from new SAnimationGraphNode. This creates the overlay widget that indicates whether this node is using a more optimal path.
#doc Also added documentation tooltips and UDN doc files/images for the fast path systems.

Multiple fixes when editing right-to-left text
- Text is now shaped over the entire line to allow rich-text and selected text to be shaped correctly across block boundaries.
- Text layout highlights are now able to correctly handle bi-directional and right-to-left text.
- Text picking can now handle bi-directional and right-to-left text.
- Text picking can now pick the individual characters that make up a ligature glyph.
- The caret now draws on the logical (rather than visual) side of the glyph (to handle right-to-left text).
- Glyph clusters (multiple glyphs produced from a single character) are now treated as a single logical glyph.
- Optimized some of the FShapedGlyphSequence to allow an early out once they've found and processed the start and end glyphs.
