* Very old macros from the time Godot was created.
* Limited arguments to 5 (then later changed to 8) in many places.
* They were replaced by C++11 Variadic Templates.
* Renamed methods that take argument pointers to have a "p" suffix. This was used in some places and not in others, so made it standard.
* Also added a dereference check for Variant*. Helped catch a couple of bugs.
Calling the constructor alone is not enough if the class to be
instantiated is not a base class.
This commit adds two functions, one for retrieving the the extension
class reference, the other to construct an instance using the
constructor and the extension class reference.
- Add MethodBind call (besides ptrcall), since vararg methods don't work
with ptrcall.
- Fix argument name in register constant function to the way it
actually is used in the engine.
- Change the integer constant type to GDNativeInt to keep it consistent.
With this commit the macro `memnew_placement` uses the standard memory
placement syntax: `new (mem) TheClass()`, and removes the outdated and
not used syntax:
```
_ALWAYS_INLINE_ void *operator new(size_t p_size, void *p_pointer, size_t check, const char *p_description) {
```
Thanks to this change, the function `memnew_placement` call is compatible with
any class, and can also initialize classes with non-empty constructor:
```
// This is valid, like before.
memnew_placement(mem, Variant);
// This works too:
memnew_placement(mem, Variant(123));
```
- Fix library loading and initialization.
- Add extra methods/parameters in the interface needed by extenstions.
- Add Variant destructors and functions for extracting values and
creating Variants from values.
* The harcoded 8 slots are no more and impose limits in the new extension system.
* New system is limitless, although it will impose small performance hit with a mutex.
* Use a token to request the instance binding.
**Warning**: Mono will most likely break as a result of this, will need to be modified to use the new system.
* Deprecates GDNative in favor of a simpler, lower level interface.
* New extension system allows registering core engine classes.
* Simple header interface in gdnative_interace.h
