This adds back a function available in 3.x: exporting the GDScript
files in a binary form by converting the tokens recognized by the
tokenizer into a data format.
It is enabled by default on export but can be manually disabled. The
format helps with loading times since, the tokens are easily
reconstructed, and with hiding the source code, since recovering it
would require a specialized tool. Code comments are not stored in this
format.
The `--test` command can also include a `--use-binary-tokens` flag
which will run the GDScript tests with the binary format instead of the
regular source code by converting them in-memory before the test runs.
This reverts commit c7f68a27ec.
We still think GDScript files need UIDs to allow safe refactoring,
but we're still debating what form those should take exactly.
So far there seems to be agreement that it shouldn't be done via an
annotation as implemented here, so we're reverting this one for now,
to revisit the feature in a future PR.
Within a match statement, it is now possible to add guards in each
branch:
var a = 0
match a:
0 when false: print("does not run")
0 when true: print("but this does")
This allows more complex logic for deciding which branch to take.
- Allow identifiers similar to keywords if they are in ASCII range.
- Allow constants to be treated as regular identifiers.
- Allow keywords that can be used as identifiers in expressions.
The keyword is confusing and rarely is used in the intended way. It is
removed now in favor of a future feature (pattern guards) to avoid
breaking compatibility later.
This is using an adapted version of UAX#31 to not rely on the ICU
database (which isn't available in builds without TextServerAdvanced).
It allows most characters used in diverse scripts but not everything.
- Add leading and trailing spaces within dictionaries, as the `{}`
characters are hard to distinguish from `[]` on some fonts.
This is especially helpful with empty arrays and dictionaries.
- Use different syntax for object printing to avoid confusion with arrays.
- Print null as `<null>` to avoid confusion with a string `"null"`.
- Display `<empty>` in editor resource pickers to avoid confusion
with array-based properties.
