We've been using standard C library functions `memcpy`/`memset` for these since
2016 with 67f65f6639.
There was still the possibility for third-party platform ports to override the
definitions with a custom header, but this doesn't seem useful anymore.
-Decode/Encode functions for u8,s8,u16,s16,u32,s32,u64,s64,half,float,double,variant
-Improved binder template to allow this
Given in Godot 4.0 PackedByteArray is passed as reference, it is now possible to have these functions there, which makes the most sense.
This ensure that typed arrays are properly checked when setting an
element.
Moved the macro to a straight declaration since the macro was only used
for Array and it now is quite specific to the Array class.
The array should just assimilate the type of the other one since
assignment in this case means a change in the reference.
This also adds a `typed_assign` function for the cases where type
validation is wanted.
* Properly exposed, including validated and variant call
* Bound static functions in String and Color
* Did not add support for scripting languages, will have to be added manually.
Other functions in the same file validate parameters using the ERR_FAIL
macros. This validation was missing for Variant::construct resulting in
a crash when called with invalid data (p_type < 0).

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 🎆
To get counts of items before getting the list, which is useful for
GDNative so users can pre-allocate the buffer with the correct size
without having to get the list twice.
Instead of references. This is needed because those function pointers
are used in GDNative which needs to work with plain C, which doesn't
support passing parameters by reference.
- Initialize Object pointer to nullptr so it's not used by mistake.
- When setting an Object check if it's a reference so refcounting works
as intended.
ptrcall is now also used to optimize calls in GDScript, on top of the existing
use by the GDNative and Mono modules.
It no longer makes sense to make it optional.
- Allow getting an opaque pointer, no matter the type (for ptrcall).
- Allow setting object pointer and id directly.
- Allow initializing the data given a type, to allow properly setting
return types on ptrcalls.
The validated getters were only setting the value without changing the
type, leading to wrong results. This uses the same path used for
methods to the same purpose.
Copied relevant documentation from the original `@GDScript` built-ins,
which will likely be removed in a future commit.
Various fixups to `variant_utility.cpp` while working on this.
* Using C-style function pointers now, InternalMethod is gone.
* This ensures much better performance in typed code.
* Renamed builtin_funcs to utility_funcs, to avoid naming confusion
-Moved Expression to use this, removed its own.
-Eventually GDScript/VisualScript/GDNative need to be moved to this.
-Given the JSON functions were hacked-in, removed them and created a new JSONParser class
-Made sure these functions appear properly in documentation, since they will be removed from GDScript
The underscore prefix was used to avoid the conflict between the `RID` class
name and the matching enum value in `Variant::Type`.
This can be fixed differently by prefixing uses of the `RID` class in `Variant`
with the scope resolution operator, as done already for `AABB`.
