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.
Previously we had a placeholder solution called 'Managed' to benefit from
tooling while editing the a part of the C# API.
Later the bindings generator would create the final 'GodotSharp' solution
including these C# files as well as the auto-generated C# API.
Now we replaced the 'Managed' solution with the final 'GodotSharp' solution
which is no longer auto-generated, and the bindings generator only takes
care of the auto-generated C# API.
This has the following benefits:
- It's less confusing as there will no longer be two versions of the same file
(the original and a generated copy of it). Now there's only one.
- We no longer need placeholder for auto-generated API classes, like Node or
Resource. We used them for benefiting from tooling. Now we can just use the
auto-generated API itself.
- Simplifies the build system and bindings generator. Removed lot of code
that is not needed anymore.
Also added a post-build target to the GodotTools project to copy the output to
the data dir. This makes it easy to iterate when doing changes to GodotTools,
as SCons doesn't have to be executed anymore just to copy these new files.
The Mono IL interpreter's WebAssembly to native trampolines don't support passing structs by value, so we need to do it this way.
Also now we pass and return long, ulong, float and double as ref parameters as well. This is due to missing trampolines for float and long types. This is likely a temporary workaround that will be reverted in the future. The correct solution would be to patch 'mono/mini/m2n-gen.cs' when building the Mono runtime for WASM in order to generate the trampolines we need.
API hashes cannot be calculated on release builds, as bindings information is lacking. Therefore, we should not be comparing it with the generated glue hash as they will never match.
ptrcall assumes methods that return a Reference type do so with Ref<T>. Returning Reference* from a method exposed to the scripting API completely breaks ptrcalls to this method (it can be quite hard to debug!).
Make the build system automatically build the C# Api assemblies to be shipped with the editor.
Make the editor, editor player and debug export templates use Api assemblies built with debug symbols.
Always run MSBuild to build the editor tools and Api assemblies when building Godot.
Several bugs fixed related to assembly hot reloading and restoring state.
Fix StringExtensions internal calls not being registered correctly, resulting in MissingMethodException.
- Methods that act as accessors for properties in the same class (like `GetPosition` and `SetPosition` are for `Position`) are now marked as obsolete. They will be made private in the future.
It seems to stay compatible with formatting done by clang-format 6.0 and 7.0,
so contributors can keep using those versions for now (they will not undo those
changes).
Adds `FALLTHROUGH` macro to specify when a fallthrough is intentional.
Can be replaced by `[[fallthrough]]` if/when we switch to C++17.
The warning is now enabled by default for GCC on `extra` warnings level
(part of GCC's `-Wextra`). It's not enabled in Clang's `-Wextra` yet,
but we could enable it manually once we switch to C++11. There's no
equivalent feature in MSVC for now.
Fixes#26135.
Enum reference resolving will now search in the @GlobalScope if no class is specified and the enum cannot be resolved in the current class.
Added support for constant references in EditorHelp, e.g.: [constant KEY_ENTER] or [constant Control.FOCUS_CLICK]. It supports enum constants (the enum name must not be included).
Expands to Object.call, Object.set and Object.get for accessing members. This means it can also access members from scripts written in other languages, like GDScript.
This property returns an instance of the singleton.
The purpose of this is to allow using methods from the base class like 'Connect'.
Since all Godot singletons inherit Object, the type of the returned instance is Godot.Object.
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.
- Now there is only one solution that contains both GodotSharp and GodotSharpEditor project. Previously we had one solution for each project
- GodotSharpEditor reference GodotShatp with a 'ProjectReference'. Previously it was a 'Reference' to the assembly
- This also simplifies the command line option to generate this solution: 'godot --generate-cs-api <OutputDir>'
- thread_local.h: 'delegating constructors only available with -std=c++11 or -std=gnu++11'
- mono_reg_utils.cpp: 'extra tokens at end of #endif directive'
- mono_bottom_panel.cpp: '<fieldB> will be initialized after <fieldA> when initialized here'
- bindings_generator.cpp: 'name lookup of 'i' changed (...) matches this 'i' under ISO standard rules (...) matches this 'i' under old rules (...)'
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
- We no longer generate RID and NodePath C# classes. Both will be maintained manually.
- We no longer generate C# declarations and runtime registration of internal calls for the following classes: RID, NodePath, String, GD, SignalAwaiter and Godot.Object (partial base).
- We no longer auto-generate the base members of Godot.Object. They will be maintained manually as a partial class.
This makes it easier to maintain these C# classes and their internal calls, as well as the bindings generator which no longer generates C# classes that don't derive from Godot Object, and it no longer generates the Godot.Object base members (which where unreadable in the bindings generator code).
- Added missing 'RID(Object from)' constructor to the RID C# class.
- Replaced MONO_GLUE_DISABLED constant macro with MONO_GLUE_ENABLED.
- Add sources in module/mono/glue even if glue is disabled, but surround glue files with ifdef MONO_GLUE_ENABLED.
This commit makes operator[] on Vector const and adds a write proxy to it. From
now on writes to Vectors need to happen through the .write proxy. So for
instance:
Vector<int> vec;
vec.push_back(10);
std::cout << vec[0] << std::endl;
vec.write[0] = 20;
Failing to use the .write proxy will cause a compilation error.
In addition COWable datatypes can now embed a CowData pointer to their data.
This means that String, CharString, and VMap no longer use or derive from
Vector.
_ALWAYS_INLINE_ and _FORCE_INLINE_ are now equivalent for debug and non-debug
builds. This is a lot faster for Vector in the editor and while running tests.
The reason why this difference used to exist is because force-inlined methods
used to give a bad debugging experience. After extensive testing with modern
compilers this is no longer the case.
- Make enums have an unique signature name of int. This means that when generating internal methods, there is no difference between different enums types nor between enums and int. This way enums can re-use internal methods.
- Make type resolver fallback to int if a type is not found and it's an enum.
It already had an implicit cast operator to string,
but this doesn't get used in say string formatting.
So now something like $"path: {GetPath()}" works.
Using `misc/scripts/fix_headers.py` on all Godot files.
Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
- alloc_language_binding: Use strong GC handle as well for references. Fixes#15138
- Set the native instance field of Godot.Object to IntPtr.Zero when it's freed.
- Create weak handles without tracking resurrection (that was causing trouble). This means we have to call notification predelete before queueing a native Object for deletion, and use the MonoObject* passed by the finalizer because the weak GC handle target will return NULL at this point.
