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.
`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.
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?
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.
