Currently the GL thread is started / stopped when the activity is respectively resumed / paused. However, according to the `GLSurfaceView` documentation, this should be done instead when the activity is started / stopped, so this change updates the start / stop logic for the GL thread to match the documentation.
When a hardware keyboard is connected, all key events come through so we can route them directly to the engine.
This is not the case for soft keyboards, for which the current logic was designed as it requires extra processing.
Upon investigating the extremely slow MSVC build times in #80513, I noticed
that while Godot policy is to never use exceptions, we weren't enforcing it
with compiler flags, and thus still included exception handling code and
stack unwinding.
This is wasteful on multiple aspects:
- Binary size: Around 20% binary size reduction with exceptions disabled
for both MSVC and GCC binaries.
- Compile time:
* More than 50% build time reduction with MSVC.
* 10% to 25% build time reduction with GCC + LTO.
- Performance: Possibly, needs to be benchmarked.
Since users may want to re-enable exceptions in their own thirdparty code
or the libraries they compile with Godot, this behavior can be toggled with
the `disable_exceptions` SCons option, which defaults to true.
The follow options were added to the (new) `run/window_placement/android_window` editor setting:
- `Auto`: choose how to run the project based on the device screen size
- `Same as Editor`: run the project in the same window as the editor
- `Side-by-side with Editor`: run the project in an adjacent window to the editor
The `InputEvent` class currently supports the `pressed` and `released` states, which given the binary nature, is represented by a `bool` field.
This commit introduced the `CANCELED` state, which signals that an ongoing input event has been canceled.
To represent all the states, the `InputEventState` enum is added and the `InputEvent` logic is refactored accordingly.
Add benchmarking measuring methods to `OS` to allow for platform specific overrides (e.g: can be used to hook into platform specific benchmarking and tracing capabilities).
A snapshot version is a version that has not yet been released which allows us to deploy the same transient version incrementally, without requiring projects to upgrade the artifact version they're consuming. Those projects can use the same version to get an updated snapshot version.
The implementation forwards the kill request to the Godot host for handling. If the Godot host is unable to handle the request, it falls back to the `OS_Unix::kill(...)` implementation.
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".
