On compulers that define __GNUC__ use computed goto to directly dispatch
the next instruction rather than going through another switch statement.
This saves a jump and some comparisons.
In tight loops this is is roughly 10% faster than the switch() method.
This implement branch prediction macros likely() and unlikely() like in
Linux. When using these macros please ensure that when you use them the
condition in the branch really is very, very likely or unlikely. Think
90+% of the time. Primarily useful for error checking. (And I implement
these macros for all our error checking macros now)
See this article for more information:
https://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ/LikelyUnlikely
There are more places where these macros may make sense in renderer and
physics engine. Placing them will come in another commit down the line.
We now allow booleanization of all types. This means that empty versions
of all types now evaluate to false. So a Vector2(0,0), Dictionary(),
etc.
This allows you to write GDScript like:
if not Dictionary():
print("Empty dict")
Booleanization can now also no longer fail. There is no more valid flag,
this changes Variant and GDNative API.
As a preparation for other performance enhancements to GDScript:call()
start by removing more of the GDScript runtime checks on release.
This code has been tested with 2d/platformer, 3d/platformer,
3d/materials_test, and goltorus. No regressions were found.
Currently we rely on some undefined behavior when Object->cast_to() gets
called with a Null pointer. This used to work fine with GCC < 6 but
newer versions of GCC remove all codepaths in which the this pointer is
Null. However, the non-static cast_to() was supposed to be null safe.
This patch makes cast_to() Null safe and removes the now redundant Null
checks where they existed.
It is explained in this article: https://www.viva64.com/en/b/0226/
Replaces the `extends` keyword with `is` in the context of testing for type compatibility.
`extends` is still used for declaring class inheritance.
Example:
```gdscript
extends Node2D
func _input(ev):
if ev is InputEventKey:
print("yay, key event")
```
I can show you the code
Pretty, with proper whitespace
Tell me, coder, now when did
You last write readable code?
I can open your eyes
Make you see your bad indent
Force you to respect the style
The core devs agreed upon
A whole new world
A new fantastic code format
A de facto standard
With some sugar
Enforced with clang-format
A whole new world
A dazzling style we all dreamed of
And when we read it through
It's crystal clear
That now we're in a whole new world of code
- Add FIXME tags comments to some unfixed potential bugs
- Remove some checks (always false: unsigned never < 0)
- Fix some if statements based on reviews.
- Bunch of missing `else` statements
The code would get a pointer to the beginning of the call_args by using
operator[] at the stack Vector. This does bound checking. When there are
no call_args this bound check fails and the error mentioned in #7796
gets triggered.
This bound check is actually not necessary as call_args just gets set to
NULL and never dereferenced. This new code will just unconditionally set
the pointer to the place where the call_args are if there are any. There
is no NULL check for call_args anywhere so this is safe.
Fixes#7796
