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".
Backported from #70885.
Backports features and bugfixes from current Godot 4.0 to 3.5 and brings functions and codebase of both version largely in sync to make tutorials more compatible and future backports easier.
Extra:
- Optimized the debug-only check about why the object is null to determine if it's because it has been deleted (the RC is enough; no need to check the ObjectDB).
- Because of the previous point. the debugger being attached is not required anymore for giving the "Object was deleted" error; from now, it only matters that it's a debug build.
- `is_instance_valid()` is now trustworthy. It will return `true` if, and only if, the last object assigned to a `Variant` is still alive (and not if a new object happened to be created at the same memory address of the old one).
- Replacements of `instance_validate()` are used where possible `Variant::is_invalid_object()` is introduced to help with that. (GDScript's `is_instance_valid()` is good.)
- Based on C++11's `atomic`
- Reworked `SafeRefCount` (based on the rewrite by @hpvb)
- Replaced free atomic functions by the new `SafeNumeric<T>`
- Replaced wrong cases of `volatile` by the new `SafeFlag`
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed
Co-authored-by: Hein-Pieter van Braam-Stewart <hp@tmm.cx>
- Based on C++14's `shared_time_mutex`
- No more need to allocate-deallocate or check for null
- No pointer anymore, just a member variable
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed
- Simpler for `NO_THREADS`
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
Alternative to `_change_notify()` to be called from within C++ classes.
Achieves low-level consistency with scripting, where this method is
exposed for updating the editor (inspector) with new values.
(cherry picked from commit 9aa06c3e65)
This commit addresses multiple issues with `Variant`s that point to an `Object`
which is later released, when it's tried to be accessed again.
Formerly, **while running on the debugger the system would check if the instance id was
still valid** to print warnings or return special values. Some cases weren't being
warned about whatsoever.
Also, a newly allocated `Object` could happen to be allocated at the same memory
address of an old one, making cases of use hard to find and having **`Variant`s pointing
to the old one magically reassigned to the new**.
This commit makes the engine realize all these situations **under debugging**
so you can detect and fix them. Running without a debugger attached will still
behave as it always did.
Also the warning messages have been extended and made clearer.
All that said, in the name of performance there's still one possible case of undefined
behavior: in multithreaded scripts there would be a race condition between a thread freeing
an `Object` and another one trying to operate on it. The latter may not realize the
`Object` has been freed soon enough. But that's a case of bad scripting that was never
supported anyway.
We used a lock signals in the signal_map while emitting, because it was
not allowed to disconnect them while being emitted.
We used that lock to check if we where deleting an object during signal
emission.
Now that we allow to disconnect signals while they are being emitted, if
an object first disconnects, then gets deleted we can't know that a
signal was being emitted during the destructor.
This commit adds a new `_emitting` boolean member to Object to be set
while emitting and checked in the destructor, while removing the old
signal lock which is now unused.
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.
This was a regression in 3.1 and later from the new inspector, where
PROPERTY_HINT_SPRITE_FRAME was not fully re-implemented. It's meant to
be a normal PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE which also automatically increments its
value when keyed in the animation player.
To avoid code duplication, I made the frames properties use the actual
PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE and introduced a PROPERTY_USAGE_KEYING_INCREMENTS
usage flag instead.
Reasoning: ID is not an acronym, it is simply short for identification, so it logically should not be capitalized. But even if it was an acronym, other acronyms in Godot are not capitalized, like p_rid, p_ip, and p_json.
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()`
Only possible if the object class is a "native type". If the object class is a user class (that derives a "native type") then a script is needed.
Since CSharpLanguage does cleanup of script instance bindings when finished, cases like #25621 will no longer cause problems.
Fixed ~Object() trying to free script instance bindings after the language has already been removed, which would result in a NULL dereference.
Avoid CSharpInstance from accessing its state after self destructing (by deleting the Reference owner).
It's now safe to replace the script instance without leaking or crashing.
Also fixed godot_icall_Object_weakref return reference being freed before returning.
