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.
VarArg methods have the return type Object in the API json for GDNative. This
can cause undefined behavior in some language bindings due to lack of
documentation on VarArg methods' behavior.
This changes the MethodInfo of:
- CSharpScript::_new
- GDScript::_new
- PluginScript::_new
binding_functions.size() and an instance's binding_data.size() can get out of sync. They sync up when an instance's bindings are requested. When binding functions are registered after creating an instance's bindings, the instance's bindings are out of sync until requested again. If they're never requested, they're never synced.
unregister_binding_functions indexes into binding_data, but only checks that its safe to index into binding_functions. When they're out of sync, indexing fails.
This revision checks that it's safe to index into binding_data.
solves #26796
- ADD `String to_string()` method to Object which can be overriden by `String _to_string()` in scripts
- ADD `String to_string(r_valid)` method to ScriptInstance to allow langauges to control how scripted objects are converted to strings
- IMPLEMENT to_string for GDScriptInstance, VisualScriptInstance, and NativeScriptInstance
- ADD Documentation about `Object.to_string` and `Object._to_string`
- Changed `Variant::operator String` to use `obj->to_string()`
When a singleton library was exposing NativeScript functionality,
the NativeScriptLanguage would attempt to terminate the library at
shutdown.
Since the GDNative module itself handles singleton libraries,
it closes all singleton libraries at shutdown as well. This double free
could cause a crash, since the library referenced would no longer be alive.
The issue is that ResourceFormatLoaderText is a singleton. It was created in a faulty way in
ResourceFormatLoaderNativeScript::load
It was created on the stack, which caused the static singleton pointer to be overwritten. This
causes then segmentation faults if the singleton is used later on.
IMO singleton creation needs to made safer to avoid other similar issues in the future.
Fixes the following GCC/Clang warnings:

```
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.
