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 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
Otherwise we can get situations where platform-specific opts with the same name
can override each other depending on the order at which platforms are parsed,
as was the case with `use_static_cpp` in Linux/Windows.
Fixes#44304.
This also has the added benefit that the `scons --help` output will now only
include the options which are relevant for the selected (or detected) platform.
(cherry picked from commit 0f84d8dc49)
This makes these platform behave as MacOS in that regard and also fixes the editor window appearing in some cases even when --no-window has been passed.
Some controllers (notably those made by 8bitdo) do not always emit an event to zero out a D-pad axis before flipping direction. For example, when rolling around aggressively the D-pad of an 8bitdo SN30 Pro/Pro+, the following may be observed:
```
ABS_HAT0X : -1
ABS_HAT0Y : -1
ABS_HAT0Y : 0
ABS_HAT0Y : 1
ABS_HAT0X : 1
```
Notable here is that no event for `ABS_HAT0X: 0` is emitted between the events for `ABS_HAT0X: -1` and `ABS_HAT0X: 1`. Consequently, the game engine believes that both the negative _and_ positive x-axis directions of the D-pad are activated simultaneously (i.e `is_joy_button_pressed()` returns `true` for both `JOY_BUTTON_DPAD_LEFT` and `JOY_BUTTON_DPAD_RIGHT`), which should be impossible.
This issue is _not_ reproducible on all controllers. The Xbox One controller in particular will not exhibit this problem (it always emits zeroing out events for an axis before flipping direction).
The fix is to always zero out the opposite direction on the D-pad axis in question when processing an event with a nonzero value. This unfortunately wastes a small number of CPU cycles on controllers that behave nicely.
**I have verified this issue is also reproducible in the stable 3.2 branch**
(cherry picked from commit dd021099ff)
`debug_symbols=yes` will now behave like `debug_symbols=full` did
before. The difference in compressed file sizes is not that large,
which means there isn't much point in having two different values.
This helps make the buildsystem easier to understand.
(cherry picked from commit ff1f0d2cb5)
Batching is mostly separated into a common template which can be used with multiple backends (GLES2 and GLES3 here). Only necessary specifics are in the backend files.
Batching is extended to cover more primitives.
Backport for X11 Display Server fixes on 3.2 branch.
1. Implement SAVE_TARGETS mechanism
Allows sending the clipboard content to the clipboard manager on exit to
keep the content when using a clipboard manager that doesn't
automatically makes a backup when copying.
MULTIPLE selection mechanism also had to be implemented, because in this
case, the clipboard manager might request multiple selection targets at
once.
Known use case: Ubuntu with XFCE4
2. Implement INCR mechanism
Allows pasting from x11 clipboard to receive data incrementally, which
is required when handling data size > 256KB.
All Linux distros, and FreeBSD and OpenBSD seem to have libXrandr.so.2,
but for some reason recent NetBSD versions seem to have libXrandr.so.3 now.
(cherry picked from commit 413ff7938d)
Add __NetBSD__ to `platform_config.h` so that it can find `alloca`
and use the proper `pthread_setname_np` format.
Rename RANDOM_MAX to avoid conflict with NetBSD stdlib.
Fixes#42145.
(cherry picked from commit 5f4d64f4f3)
Its last use was removed in Godot 3.0, so it no longer makes sense to define.
Also removed `D3D_DEBUG_INFO` for Windows as it's likely a left over from a
long time ago pre-opensourcing when Godot had some form of Direct3D 9 support?
(cherry picked from commit dcf902df85)
Fixes a small memory leak reported by lsan:
```
Direct leak of 73 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
#0 0x7f29825f3e70 in malloc (/lib64/liblsan.so.0+0xee70)
#1 0x7f29824a5729 in XGetWindowProperty (/lib64/libX11.so.6+0x29729)
```
Configured for a max line length of 120 characters.
psf/black is very opinionated and purposely doesn't leave much room for
configuration. The output is mostly OK so that should be fine for us,
but some things worth noting:
- Manually wrapped strings will be reflowed, so by using a line length
of 120 for the sake of preserving readability for our long command
calls, it also means that some manually wrapped strings are back on
the same line and should be manually merged again.
- Code generators using string concatenation extensively look awful,
since black puts each operand on a single line. We need to refactor
these generators to use more pythonic string formatting, for which
many options are available (`%`, `format` or f-strings).
- CI checks and a pre-commit hook will be added to ensure that future
buildsystem changes are well-formatted.
(cherry picked from commit cd4e46ee65)
- Improve the SCsub to allow unbundling and remove unnecessary code.
- Move files around to match upstream source.
- Re-sync with upstream commit 308db73d0b3c2d1870cd3e465eaa283692a4cf23
to ensure we don't have local modifications.
- Doesn't actually build against current version 5.0.1 due to the lack
of the new ArmaturePopulate API that Gordon authored. We'll have to
wait for a public release with that API (5.1?) to enable unbundling.
(cherry picked from commit 9d8a9ea826)
Otherwise comparisons would fail for compiler versions above 10.
Also simplified code somewhat to avoid using subprocess too much
needlessly.
(cherry picked from commits c7dc5142b5
and df7ecfc4a7)
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.
This makes it possible to know whether the window is focused
at a given time, without having to track the focus state manually
using `NOTIFICATION_WM_FOCUS_IN` and `NOTIFICATION_WM_FOCUS_OUT`.
This partially addresses #33928.
The basic point is as in 2.1 (appending the PCK into the executable), but this implementation also patches a dedicated section in the ELF/PE executable so that it matches the appended data perfectly.
The usage of integer types is simplified in existing code; namely, using plain `int` for small quantities.
It's the recommended way to set those, and is more portable
(automatically prepends -D for GCC/Clang and /D for MSVC).
We still use CPPFLAGS for some pre-processor flags which are not
defines.
The rationale for keeping those shared by default is that they're typical
dependencies found on any Linux system, and it saves compilation time and
binary size to link their dynamically.
But since official builds default to all-builtin, and Debian/Ubuntu still
don't have libpng16 (which we now require) readily available on all their
supported releases, it's simpler to bundle all the things.
This does not change the fact that those dependencies *can* be unbundled
on Linux, it's only the default option changing.
Wrapped libpng usage in a pair of functions under PNGDriverCommon,
which convert between Godot Image and png data.
Switched to libpng 1.6 simplified API for ease of maintenance.
Implemented ImageLoaderPNG and ResourceSaverPNG in terms of
PNGDriverCommon functions.
Travis, switched to builtin libpng (thus builtin freetype and zlib also)
so we can build on Xenial.
This is a new singleton where camera sources such as webcams or cameras on a mobile phone can register themselves with the Server.
Other parts of Godot can interact with this to obtain images from the camera as textures.
This work includes additions to the Visual Server to use this functionality to present the camera image in the background. This is specifically targetted at AR applications.
This updates our local copy to commit 5ec8339b6fc491e3f09a34a4516e82787f053fcc.
We need a recent master commit for some new features that we use in Godot
(see #25543 and #28909).
To avoid warnings generated by Bullet headers included in our own module,
we include those headers with -isystem on GCC and Clang.
Fixes#29503.
In x11, windows and osx crash handlers, check project settings exists
before looking up the crash handler message setting.
Avoids crashing the crash handler when handling a crash outside project
settings lifetime. Instead omitting the configurable message and
continuing with trace dump.
Include paths are processed from left to right, so we use Prepend to
ensure that paths to bundled thirdparty files will have precedence over
system paths (e.g. `/usr/include` should have lowest priority).
This is the same as #23542 (Fix binaries incorrectly detected as shared
libraries on some linux distros) but for Clang. It should be fine with
Clang 4 or higher.
This adds ThinLTO support when using Clang and the LLD Linker, it's
turned off by
default.
For now only support for Linux added as ThinLTO support on other
platforms may still be buggy.
Many contributors (me included) did not fully understand what CCFLAGS,
CXXFLAGS and CPPFLAGS refer to exactly, and were thus not using them
in the way they are intended to be.
As per the SCons manual: https://www.scons.org/doc/HTML/scons-user/apa.html
- CCFLAGS: General options that are passed to the C and C++ compilers.
- CFLAGS: General options that are passed to the C compiler (C only;
not C++).
- CXXFLAGS: General options that are passed to the C++ compiler. By
default, this includes the value of $CCFLAGS, so that setting
$CCFLAGS affects both C and C++ compilation.
- CPPFLAGS: User-specified C preprocessor options. These will be
included in any command that uses the C preprocessor, including not
just compilation of C and C++ source files [...], but also [...]
Fortran [...] and [...] assembly language source file[s].
TL;DR: Compiler options go to CCFLAGS, unless they must be restricted
to either C (CFLAGS) or C++ (CXXFLAGS). Preprocessor defines go to
CPPFLAGS.
Added constructor and assignment operator for CharString
from const char* to simplify memory management when working with
utf8/ascii strings for APIs taking char*.
Reworked OS_X11::set_context to use CharString and avoid some manual
memory management.
GLES2 is not designed to be a drop-in replacement for the GLES3 backend,
so the fallback mode has to be used knowingly. It *can* make sense for
simple projects which make sure to handle the differences between both
rendering backends, but most users should stick to one supported backend.
By making it opt-in, we can now use this parameter to define whether to
export ETC textures to Android and iOS when using GLES3 + Fallback.
When using GLES3 without Fallback on Android, set the proper min GLES
version in the AndroidManifest.
Also made the option boolean and renamed it for clarity and to avoid
conflict with the previous String option (which would always evaluate as
"true" otherwise).
Fixes#26569.
It seems that bumblebee doesn't like us creating multiple GL contexts
to avoid this we now detect whether we're running with this software
and don't do anything.
Also drop some unused files.
Renamed:
- `platform/iphone/sem_iphone.h` -> `semaphore_iphone.h`
(same for `osx`)
- `platform/uwp/gl_context_egl.h` -> `context_egl_uwp.h`
- in `platform/windows`: `context_gl_win.h`, `crash_handler_win.h`,
`godot_win.cpp`, `joypad.h` and `key_mapping_win.h` all renamed to
use `windows`. Some classes renamed accordingly too.
- `EditorExportAndroid` and `EditorExportUWP` renamed to
`EditorExportPlatformAndroid` and `EditorExportPlatformUWP`
- `power_android` and `power_osx` renamed to `PowerAndroid` and
`PowerOSX`
- `OSUWP` renamed to `OS_UWP`
Dropped:
- `platform/windows/ctxgl_procaddr.h`
This allows most demos to run without any ubsan or asan errors. There
are still some things in thirdpart/ and some things in AudioServer that
needs a look but this fixes a lot of issues. This should help debug less
obvious issues, hopefully.
This fixes#25217 and fixes#25218
We fork off twice once with and once without DIR_PRIME=1 set. We
then use the vendor string to determine what GPU to use.
We prefer (in order)
1) AMDGPU/AMDGPU-PRO/NVidia non-free driver
2) Intel driver
3) Nouveau
4) Software rendering
If a driver can't be detected it will default to DRI_PRIME=0
Make the sanitizer names more explicit (use_ubsan, use_asan, use_lsan).
Comment has been adjusted to include GCC as supported compiler for these
and exclude -fno-omit-frame-pointer option (should not cause any
problems).
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
