Godot supports many different compilers and for production releases we
have to support 3 currently: GCC8, Clang6, and MSVC2017. These compilers
all do slightly different things with -ffast-math and it is causing
issues now. See #24841, #24540, #10758, #10070. And probably other
complaints about physics differences between release and release_debug
builds.
I've done some performance comparisons on Linux x86_64. All tests are
ran 20 times.

I have also looked at FPS numbers for tps-demo, 3d platformer, 2d
platformer, and sponza and could not find any measurable difference.
I believe that given the issues and oft-reported (physics) glitches on
release builds I believe that the couple of percent of tight-loop
floating point performance regression is well worth it.
This fixes#24540 and fixes#24841
Previously the compiler would use system headers located at
/System/Library/Frameworks, which could result in compilation failures
due to the headers not always being up-to-date in regards to the
latest installed macOS SDK headers that come with Xcode.
Fix the issue by passing the SDK path via the -isysroot option to the
compiler and linker invocations.
If no custom SDK path is given, the build system queries the SDK path
via xcrun --show-sdk-path, which returns something similar to
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/
Querying via xcrun is now also done for iphone (and simulator)
platforms as well.
Here is an example of a compilation failure message due to outdated
headers:
platform/osx/os_osx.mm:1421:41: error: use of undeclared identifier 'NSAppKitVersionNumber10_12'; did you mean 'NSAppKitVersionNumber'?
if (floor(NSAppKitVersionNumber) >= NSAppKitVersionNumber10_12) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NSAppKitVersionNumber
/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Headers/NSApplication.h:26:28: note: 'NSAppKitVersionNumber' declared here
Mac OS X is 64-bit only since 10.7 (Lion), which has reached End-Of-Life in October 2014.
Therefore it no longer makes sense to support exporting 32-bit binaries for Mac OS X,
and we can now default to 64-bit instead of bigger "fat" binaries.
This adds a separate_debug_symbols option to the x11, windows, and osx
targets. This will default to adding normal debugging symbols to the
artifacts and only splits them when separate_debug_symbols=yes on the
Scons command line.
Also made LINK and CXXFLAGS configurable as command line options.
Note that LINK currently expects the *compiler* that will be used
for linking and will call its configured linker behind the scenes
(so g++, clang++, etc., not ld.gold). See #15364 for details.
There are still some left in the Android Java code, even stuff to swap between
GLES1 and GLES2 support from early Godot days... would be good to see some cleanup
there too one day.
The "graphics/api" option for Android exports is removed, as only GLES 3.0 is supported.
It can be readded when GLES 2.0 support comes back. Fixes#13004.
Now that we have a built-in stacktrace on a segfault it would be useful
to have debug information on debug_release builds so that bugreports can
include this information. Without this debug info we will still get
function names in the backtrace but not file location.
This commit will by default build all targets with minimal debug info
and then strip the information into separate files. On MacOS this is a
.dSYM file, on Linux/MingW this is a .debug file. MacOSX will
automatically load a dSYM file if it exists in its debugger. On
Linux/MingW we create a 'gnu debuglink' meaning that gdb and friends
will automatically find the debug symbols if they exist.
Existing workflow for developers does not change at all, except that we
now create two instead of one build artifact by default.
This commit also adds a 'debug_symbols' option to X11, MacOS, and MingW
targets. The default is 'yes' which corresponds to -g1. The alternatives
are 'no' (don't generate debug infos at all) or 'full' which runs with
-g2. A target=debug build will now build with -g3.
- The Windows, UWP, Android (on Windows) and Linux builds are
tested with Scons 3.0 alpha using Python 3.
- OSX and iOS should hopefully work but are not tested since
I don't have a Mac.
- Builds using SCons 2.5 and Python 2 should not be impacted.
Tried to organize the configure(env) calls in sections, using the same order
for all platforms whenever possible.
Apart from cosmetic changes, the following issues were fixed:
- Android: cleanup linkage, remove GLESv1_CM and GLESv2
- iPhone: Remove obsolete "ios_gles22_override" option
- OSX:
* Fix bits detection (default to 64) and remove obsolete "force_64_bits" option
(closes#9449)
* Make "fat" bits argument explicit
- Server: sync with X11
- Windows: clean up old DirectX 9 stuff
- X11:
* Do not require system OpenSSL for building (closes#9443)
* Fix typo'ed use_leak_sanitizer option
* Fix .llvm suffix overriding custom extra_suffix
All the warnings are factored out of the platform-specific files and moved to
SConstruct. Will have to check that it does not introduce regressions on some
platforms/compilers.
(cherry picked from commit 31107daa1a)
Done:
- X11, server (tested)
- Windows (developed, would be nice to retest)
- OSX (not tested)
Prepared (not developed):
- Android (code is here, but may not compile)
- iphone
- winrt
- bb10
- haiku
- javascript
Not fully happy about the way this one interacts with the various
platforms. Maybe the platform_config.h should be generated by the
SCsub instead of passing a define just to know where is the header.
Fixes#3881
Vibration support is not optimal yet as it doesn't try to emulate the "weak" and "strong" motor strength,
but just takes the parameter with the highest value for the vibration gain.
This allows us not to have to hack our definitions in the upstream files,
making it easier to upgrade to newer versions in the future.
For the include paths to work, the headers are moved to a GL subfolder to
match their upstream location.

Build System:
-Big clean up of SCons, changed how builds are done to a much cleaner method (check the Github Wiki for instructions).
-Deactivated BlackBerry10 (sorry), if no mantainer found (or BlackBerry does not send us a Passort ;), platform will be removed as we have no longer devices to test.
Engine:
-Removed deprecated object and scene format (was in there just for compatibility, not in use since a long time).
-Added ability to open scenes even if a node type was removed (will try to guess the closest type).
-Removed deprecated node types.
