When the types are validated at compile time, this type of call runs
faster. It is already used for instance methods, this adds this
optimization to native static methods as well.
This improves the performance of typed calls to engine methods when the
argument types are exact.
Using validated calls delegate more of the work the core instead of
doing argument unpacking in the VM. It also does not need different
instructions for each return type, simplifying the code.
This applies our existing style guide, and adds a new rule to that style
guide for modular components such as platform ports and modules:
Includes from the platform port or module ("local" includes) should be listed
first in their own block using relative paths, before Godot's "core" includes
which use "absolute" (project folder relative) paths, and finally thirdparty
includes.
Includes in `#ifdef`s come after their relevant section, i.e. the overall
structure is:
- Local includes
* Conditional local includes
- Core includes
* Conditional core includes
- Thirdparty includes
* Conditional thirdparty includes
Which allows editable data associated with a particular class instead of
the instance. Scripts with static variables are kept in memory
indefinitely unless the `@static_unload` annotation is used or the
`static_unload()` method is called on the GDScript.
If the custom function `_static_init()` exists it will be called when
the class is loaded, after the static variables are set.
When instructions use function pointers, it's not possible to retrieve
their original names in the disassembly. This stores the names in
vectors (in debug builds) so they can be shown.
The keyword is confusing and rarely is used in the intended way. It is
removed now in favor of a future feature (pattern guards) to avoid
breaking compatibility later.
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
- RPC configurations are now dictionaries.
- Script.get_rpc_methods renamed to Script.get_rpc_config.
- Node.rpc[_id] and Callable.rpc now return an Error.
- Refactor MultiplayerAPI to allow extension.
- New MultiplayerAPI.rpc method with Array argument (for scripts).
- Move the default MultiplayerAPI implementation to a module.
When a type is shared (i.e. passed by reference) it doesn't need to be
called in a setter chain (e.g. `a.b.c = 0`) since it will be updated in
place.
This commit adds an instruction that jumps when the value is shared so
it can be used to skip those cases and avoid redundant calls of setters.
It also solves issues when assigning to sub-properties of read-only
properties.
Move multiplayer classes to "core/multiplayer" subdir.
Move the RPCConfig and enums (TransferMode, RPCMode) to a separate
file (multiplayer.h), and bind them to the global namespace.
Move the RPC handling code to its own class (RPCManager).
Renames "get_rpc_sender_id" to "get_remote_sender_id".
Move the autoload resolution to runtime by loading it into the stack
with an extra instruction. This allows an autoload to use another
autoload singleton independent of load order.
