Upon investigating the extremely slow MSVC build times in #80513, I noticed
that while Godot policy is to never use exceptions, we weren't enforcing it
with compiler flags, and thus still included exception handling code and
stack unwinding.
This is wasteful on multiple aspects:
- Binary size: Around 20% binary size reduction with exceptions disabled
for both MSVC and GCC binaries.
- Compile time:
* More than 50% build time reduction with MSVC.
* 10% to 25% build time reduction with GCC + LTO.
- Performance: Possibly, needs to be benchmarked.
Since users may want to re-enable exceptions in their own thirdparty code
or the libraries they compile with Godot, this behavior can be toggled with
the `disable_exceptions` SCons option, which defaults to true.
Refactor ScriptEditor and ScriptTextEditor with added method to retrieve the script editor's TextEdit control.
Update
doc/classes/ScriptEditor.xml
script_editor_plugin.cpp
script_editor_plugin.h
script_text_editor.cpp
script_text_editor.h
The follow options were added to the (new) `run/window_placement/android_window` editor setting:
- `Auto`: choose how to run the project based on the device screen size
- `Same as Editor`: run the project in the same window as the editor
- `Side-by-side with Editor`: run the project in an adjacent window to the editor
When enabled, this scales the editor icons to improve usability on touchscreen devices.
In addition this commit fixes touch detection for the collision_shape_2d_editor_plugin so it scales with the icons size.
Add benchmarking measuring methods to `OS` to allow for platform specific overrides (e.g: can be used to hook into platform specific benchmarking and tracing capabilities).
Android devices will typically be powered from battery. This PR defaults the editor on Android to use `update_vital_only` mode, using as little power as possible, in order to conserve battery.
Also shows the update spinner by default, to emphasize that vital updates only is occurring, and allow easy switching out of the mode.
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".
