- Unify documentation, hoping to clear misconcepctions about about propagation of the cache mode across dependant loads.
- Clarify in docs that `CACHE_MODE_REPLACE` now also works on the main resource (from #87008).
- Add two recursive modes, counterparts of `CACHE_MODE_REPLACE` and `CACHE_MODE_IGNORE`, since it seems some need them (see #59669, #82830).
- Let resources, even loaded with one of the ignore-cache modes, get a path, which is useful for tools.
This change simply extracts 'SafeBinaryMutex' from 'mutex.h' to
'safe_binary_mutex.h', in an effort to reduce the compilation
speed impact of including `mutex.h`.
This commits rewrites the sync logic in a way that the
`use_system_threads_for_low_priority_tasks` setting, which was added due to
the lack of a cross-platform wait-for-multiple-objects functionality, can be
removed (it's as if it was effectively hardcoded to `false`).
With the new implementation, we have the best of both worlds: threads don't
have to poll, plus no bespoke threads are used.
In addition, regarding deadlock prevention, since not every possible case of
wait-deadlock could be avoided, this commits removes the current best-effort
avoidance mechanisms and keeps only a simple, pessimistic way of detection.
It turns out that the only current user of deadlock prevention, ResourceLoader,
works fine with it and so every possible situation in resource loading is now
properly handled, with no possibilities of deadlocking. There's a comment in
the code with further details.
Lastly, a potential for load tasks never being awaited/disposed is cleared.
This allows to include script_instance.h directly in the
generated gdvirtual.gen.inc, and remove excessive includes
from the codebase.
This should also allow Resource to use GDVIRTUAL macros,
which wasn't possible previously due to a circular dependency.
* Works for binary and text files.
* Makes EditorQuickOpen work with custom resources again.
* Information is cached and easily accessible.
Properly fixes#66179. Supersedes #66215 and supersedes #62417
**WARNING**: This required breaking backwards binary compatibility (.res and .scn files). Files saved after this PR is merged will no longer open in any earlier versions of Godot.
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".
