The 204 and 205 are the older, SDL 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 compatible mappings,
but since all new mappings have only been added to the main
gamecontrollerdb.txt which overrides the older entries, it doesn't make
much sense for us to keep the old databases.
We do not support the SDL2 half axes and inverted axes features from
gamecontrollerdb.txt, but this only impacts the specific controllers
which can use those features, the rest are parsed and used properly.
As for godotcontrollerdb.txt, it doesn't make sense for us to maintain
our own custom mappings instead of submitting them upstream. The only
exception is the Javascript and UWP platforms for which no bindings are
available upstream, so we keep those entries.
(cherry picked from commit 510e83498e)
We were overriding values from `gamecontrollerdb.txt` (current, updated
upstream) with `gamecontrollerdb_205.txt` (legacy, SDL 2.0.5) and then
`gamecontrollerdb_204.txt` (legacy, SDL 2.0.4).
There was a comment to warn about this but it seems it did not prevent
using the wrong order for all this time...
Now `gamecontrollerdb.txt` mappings will properly override outdated
ones present in the `204` and `205` variants.
Also added support for SCons project-absolute paths (starting with #) and
warning about duplicates in add_source_files(), and fixed
default_controller_mappings.gen.cpp being included twice after first build
due to *.cpp globbing.
Part of #30270.
- 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.
- 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.

Build System:
-Big clean up of SCons, changed how builds are done to a much cleaner method (check the Github Wiki for instructions).
-Deactivated BlackBerry10 (sorry), if no mantainer found (or BlackBerry does not send us a Passort ;), platform will be removed as we have no longer devices to test.
Engine:
-Removed deprecated object and scene format (was in there just for compatibility, not in use since a long time).
-Added ability to open scenes even if a node type was removed (will try to guess the closest type).
-Removed deprecated node types.
