The new option is `linker` and lets the user specify the argument to
the`-fuse_ld=` linker flag directly. The supported options are:
- `default`: No change, typically uses GNU ld (bfd) unless the user or
distro picked a different default `/usr/bin/ld`.
- `bfd`: GNU ld from binutils
- `gold`: GNU gold from binutils
- `lld`: lld from LLVM
- `mold`: mold, an extremely fast modern linker, not (yet) intended for
use in production but great for development speed. Provided by distro
`mold` package or needs to be compiled from source and installed to
`/usr` otherwise.
Removes the `use_lld=yes` option, and make lld actually usable with GCC
too.
Not all the above are compatible or recommend for LTO, we recommend
using GNU ld with GCC LTO, or lld with LLVM ThinLTO.
Now the `linuxbsd` platform can be built headlessly (e.g. without X11
development libraries).
I also cleaned up some weird (old?) usages of the `env` variable which
seem to make no difference and are used nowhere else.
It's not needed on most distros as those are found in standard lib
and include paths, but on NixOS they're all in non-standard prefixes,
so we need to rely on information provided by pkg-config.
Fixes#59913.

It has been disabled in `master` since one year (#45852) and our plan
is for Bullet, and possibly other thirdparty physics engines, to be
implemented via GDExtension so that they can be selected by the users
who need them.
- Rename OpenGL to GLES3 in the source code per community feedback.
- The renderer is still exposed as "OpenGL 3" to the user.
- Hide renderer selection dropdown until OpenGL support is more mature.
- The renderer can still be changed in the Project Settings or using
the `--rendering-driver opengl` command line argument.
- Remove commented out exporter code.
- Remove some OpenGL/DisplayServer-related debugging prints.
First implementation with Linux display manager.
- Add single-threaded mode for EditorResourcePreview (needed for OpenGL).

We've had many issues with WebM support and specifically the libvpx library
over the years, mostly due to its poor integration in Godot's buildsystem,
but without anyone really interested in improving this state.
With the new GDExtensions in Godot 4.0, we intend to move video decoding to
first-party extensions, and this would likely be done using something like
libvlc to expose more codecs.
Removing the `webm` module means we can remove libsimplewebm, libvpx and
opus, which we were only used for that purpose. Both libvpx and opus were
fairly complex pieces of the buildsystem, so this is a nice cleanup.
This also removes the compile-time dependency on `yasm`.
Fixes lots of compilation or non-working WebM issues which will be linked
in the PR.
This will allow adding developer checks which will be fully compiled out in
user builds, unlike `DEBUG_ENABLED` which is included in debug tempates and
the editor builds.
This define is not used yet, but we'll soon add code that uses it, and change
some existing `DEBUG_ENABLED` checks to be performed only in dev builds.
Related to godotengine/godot-proposals#3371.
This provides better security at the cost of having misleading
binary icons on some file managers.
Now that recent Linux distributions no longer allow executing
binaries by double-clicking them in a file manager (even if the
binary is set to be executable), the usability cost of PIE is lowered.
You have to use a terminal or install a `.desktop` file nowadays.
- Don't display messages when enabling PulseAudio/ALSA/D-Bus/udev
as these become noisy in incremental builds.
- Improve warning and error messages to be more descriptive
and consistent.
This changes the types of a big number of variables.
General rules:
- Using `uint64_t` in general. We also considered `int64_t` but eventually
settled on keeping it unsigned, which is also closer to what one would expect
with `size_t`/`off_t`.
- We only keep `int64_t` for `seek_end` (takes a negative offset from the end)
and for the `Variant` bindings, since `Variant::INT` is `int64_t`. This means
we only need to guard against passing negative values in `core_bind.cpp`.
- Using `uint32_t` integers for concepts not needing such a huge range, like
pages, blocks, etc.
In addition:
- Improve usage of integer types in some related places; namely, `DirAccess`,
core binds.
Note:
- On Windows, `_ftelli64` reports invalid values when using 32-bit MinGW with
version < 8.0. This was an upstream bug fixed in 8.0. It breaks support for
big files on 32-bit Windows builds made with that toolchain. We might add a
workaround.
Fixes#44363.

After further testing it seems to work fine now when building binaries with GCC 5
on Ubuntu 16.04 (previously we were using GCC 9 on Ubuntu 14.04).
Follow-up to #45629.
When using use_static_cpp we want to statically link with atomic as well
to make sure we don't incur any new runtime dependencies.
Scons doesn't quite support this so we do this little trick.
According to the LLVM documentation when using GNU's libstdc++ clang
will not automatically link with -latomic. This is necessary since we
merged c++11 atomics support.
This fixes linking using Clang on Linux
This makes it possibly to run Linux binaries compiled with udev support on
Linux systems which do not provide udev (typically systemd-less distros).
If udev is missing, we fall back to parsing `/dev/input` like when compiled
without udev support (`udev=no`).
Also adding some verbose debug statements to know which method we're using
when debugging Linux joypad issues.
The libudev so wrappers were generated on Mageia 8 with libudev 246.9 using
https://github.com/hpvb/dynload-wrapper:
```
./generate-wrapper.py --include /usr/include/libudev.h --sys-include '<libudev.h>' \
--soname libudev.so.1 --init-name libudev --omit-prefix gnu_ \
--output-header libudev-so_wrap.h --output-implementation libudev-so_wrap.c
```
By generating stubs using https://github.com/hpvb/dynload-wrapper we
can dynamically load libpulse and libasound on systems where it is available.
Both are still a build-time requirement but no longer a run-time dependency.
For maintenance purposes the wrappers should not need to be re-generated
unless we want to bump pulse or asound to an incompatible version. It is
unlikely we will want to do this any time soon.
This closes#20978
This is meant for users making custom builds to match the options used on
optimized, official builds.
This enables, on the platforms which support them:
- `use_static_cpp=yes` (portable binaries for Linux and Windows)
- `use_lto=yes` (link time optimizations - note: requires a lot of RAM!)
- `debug_symbols=no` (no debug symbols, smaller binaries)
Also abort when using MSVC with `production=yes`, as:
- It cannot optimize the GDScript VM like GCC or Clang do, leading to
significant performance drops.
- Its LTO support is unreliable, at least used to trigger crashes last
we tried it extensively.
All options can still be overridden if specified, and the `dev=yes` option
was changed to also support overrides.
This enables `-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++` which help make custom Linux
builds more portable (official builds have been using this option for years).
For some obscure reason Ubuntu 18.04 i386 crashes when using the option for
i386 builds, so let's play it safe and enable for x86_64 only for now.
This has been enabled for years in official binaries, and users making custom builds
may end up not enabling it unknowingly, so it's best if we default to the same as
what official builds do.
The original reason for having it opt-in was likely the addition of a dependency on
libudev, but that should be fairly ubiquitous by now.
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.
