so that godot package builds reproducibly
in spite of indeterministic filesystem readdir order
and http://bugs.python.org/issue30461
See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this is good.
Sort font input file list, so that builtin_fonts.gen.h
is created in a reproducible way
Sort list of platforms, so that editor/register_exporters.gen.cpp
is created in a reproducible way
Sort list of source files, so that .a files and resulting godot binaries
are created in a reproducible way
We want to add the individual strings to the list
and not add a list object to the list.
Without this patch, sorting failed because "str < list"
is not a valid operation in python.
- Refactored all builder (make_*) functions into separate Python modules along to the build tree
- Introduced utility function to wrap all invocations on Windows, but does not change it elsewhere
- Introduced stub to use the builders module as a stand alone script and invoke a selected function
There is a problem with file handles related to writing generated content (*.gen.h and *.gen.cpp)
on Windows, which randomly causes a SHARING VIOLATION error to the compiler resulting in flaky
builds. Running all such content generators in a new subprocess instead of directly inside the
build script works around the issue.
Yes, I tried the multiprocessing module. It did not work due to conflict with SCons on cPickle.
Suggested workaround did not fully work either.
Using the run_in_subprocess wrapper on osx and x11 platforms as well for consistency. In case of
running a cross-compilation on Windows they would still be used, but likely it will not happen
in practice. What counts is that the build itself is running on which platform, not the target
platform.
Some generated files are written directly in an SConstruct or SCsub file, before the parallel build starts. They don't need to be written in a subprocess, apparently, so I left them as is.
Adds following functions to the Engine singleton:
get_author_info - names of Godot authors
get_copyright_info - detailed source copyright get_license_info
get_donor_info - donor names
get_license_info - full text of licenses used, indexed by license names
get_license_text - the text of the Godot Expat license
- Take care of the differences in handling unicode characters in
`escape_string` (formerly in `editor/SCsub`, now in `compat.py)`.
- Conditionally include `_winreg` or `winreg` in the Mono editor
module.
- 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.
The other subfolders of tools/ had already been moved to either
editor/, misc/ or thirdparty/, so the hiding the editor code that
deep was no longer meaningful.
