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".
Non-exhaustive list of case-sensitive renames:
GDExtension -> GDNative
GDNATIVE -> GDEXTENSION
gdextension -> gdnative
ExtensionExtension ->Extension (for where there was GDNativeExtension)
EXTENSION_EXTENSION ->EXTENSION (for where there was GDNATIVE_EXTENSION)
gdnlib -> gdextension
gdn_interface -> gde_interface
gdni -> gde_interface
Adds a CONNECT_INHERITED flag to connections, only available in editor builds. This flag denotes that the signal has been inherited from a previous Scene in the instancing hierarchy.
This function pointer is needed to stay close to internal Godot's ScriptInstance class.
Besides, by removing this function pointer, we had to do property list create/free each time
we want to access type which is quadratic complexity :/
The Godot API (gdnative_interface.h) allows methods to be registered on
extension classes with
`classdb_register_extension_class_method`
a `GDNativeExtensionClassMethodInfo` can be provided to this function
along with a `get_argument_info_func` which according to the comment
indicates that argument names should be definable here.
Unfortunately, setting the name field in the `GDNativePropertyInfo`
struct has no effect on the editor documentation, which continues to
display "_unnamed_arg" for each argument.
I discovered that `get_argument_info` is responsible for this as it
always overrides the `info.name`. I've added an if condition that will
only override the name when it is empty. I've tested this with my
GDExtension module and I can confirm that with this commit, the argument
name shows up in the builtin docs. eg. in Lookup Symbol.
Replace all TODO uses of `#warning` by proper TODO comments, and will open
matching bug reports to keep track of them.
We don't have a great track record fixing TODOs, but I'd wager we're even
worse for fixing these "TODO #warning" so we should prohibit this usage.
- Outright disable spammy warnings due to past or present GCC bugs:
* `-Wno-strict-overflow` for GCC 7.
* `-Wno-type-limits` for GCC before 11 (regressed in 9/10, might work in
earlier releases but at this stage we don't care).
* `-Wno-return-type` for GCC 12/13 (regression, still not fixed).
- Enable extra warnings conditionally when broken on earlier GCC:
* `-Wnoexcept` was removed due to an upstream regression in GCC 9, could
be re-enabled (but commented out for now as we actually have `-Wnoexcept`
warnings to fix.
* `-Wlogical-op` was broken on our variadic templates before GCC 11, now
seems fine.
Android was the last platform to still attempt to disable RTTI (for binary
size), but both the Android editor and now the ICU library used by templates
need RTTI.
There could still be the possibility to support this for non-ICU template
builds (i.e. without the TextServerAdvanced module), but since this isn't one
of the build configurations we test regularly it's pretty risky to keep this
option only for that specific use case. And our code is already littered with
`dynamic_cast`s which weren't guarded with `!defined(NO_SAFE_CAST)`.
A priori this doesn't appear to be an actual bug, but a known consequence of
using UBSAN. We silence this one to still have the possibility to get more
warnings raised by UBSAN, in case they are useful.
Works around and closes#66343.
