In an effort to make GDScript a little faster replace the double
switch() with a computed goto on compilers that set __GNUC__. For
compilers that don't support computed goto it will fall back to regular
switch/case statements.
In addition disable using boolean values in a mathematical context. Now
boolean values can only be compared with other booleans. Booleans will
also no longer be coerced to integers.
This PR replaces #11308 and fixes#11291
- Makes vararg methods automatically use PROPERTY_USAGE_NIL_IS_VARIANT on return types
- Completely removes the ":type" suffix for method names. Virtual methods must use the MethodInfo constructors that takes Variant::Type or PropertyHint as the first parameter for the return type (with CLASS_INFO as a helper to get the PropertyInfo). Parameters must use PROPERTY_HINT_RESOURCE_TYPE and hint string.
- PROPERTY_USAGE_NIL_IS_VARIANT is no longer needed for parameters, because parameters cannot be void.
- Adds missing PROPERTY_USAGE_NIL_IS_VARIANT to virtual and built-in methods that return Variant.
Currently we rely on some undefined behavior when Object->cast_to() gets
called with a Null pointer. This used to work fine with GCC < 6 but
newer versions of GCC remove all codepaths in which the this pointer is
Null. However, the non-static cast_to() was supposed to be null safe.
This patch makes cast_to() Null safe and removes the now redundant Null
checks where they existed.
