This applies our existing style guide, and adds a new rule to that style
guide for modular components such as platform ports and modules:
Includes from the platform port or module ("local" includes) should be listed
first in their own block using relative paths, before Godot's "core" includes
which use "absolute" (project folder relative) paths, and finally thirdparty
includes.
Includes in `#ifdef`s come after their relevant section, i.e. the overall
structure is:
- Local includes
* Conditional local includes
- Core includes
* Conditional core includes
- Thirdparty includes
* Conditional thirdparty includes
- Add export option to configure if the exported game should include debug symbols (PDB).
- Remove unused `outputDir` local variable.
- Replace `Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id` with `System.Environment.ProcessId` (CA1837).
- Simplify and update its logic.
- Simplify EditorScript.
- Improve EditorNode and other relevant includes.
- Fix scene-based path in the movie writer when
reloading a scene.
Prevents ending up with an empty C# menu.
The option to create the C# solution no longer disappears, to avoid confusing users.
If an user tries to use it when a C# solution already exists they are warned that it will override their sln and csproj files.
The solution directory used to be the same as the project
directory (`res://`). We now allow specifying a different
path for the solution and the other external editors already
use that (which seems more convenient for multi-project
scenarios).
Avoid error when a plugin contains a class called "Console":
Godot.SourceGenerators\Godot.SourceGenerators.GodotPluginsInitializerGenerator\GodotPlugins.Game.generated.cs(32,25): error CS0117: 'Console' does not contain a definition for 'Error'
[codeblocks] for Keep only the [CSharp] part.
[param] is changed to <c>.
[b] for bold text.
[i] for italic text.
4.0 now uses variant, so [variant] to <see cref="Godot.Variant"/>.
since Rider does not support [u], only comments have been modified.
* Remove unused `EditorPropertyMember` and related hints, previouly used by
VisualScript. Such logic should be implemented in the VS module itself.
* As the above broke compatibility with the VS module, clean up the other
hacks that were still in core in support of VisualScript.
* `PROPERTY_USAGE_INTERNATIONALIZED` was only used in Object's
`get_translatable_strings()`, which is a legacy function not used anywhere.
So both are removed.
* Reordered some usage flags after the above removal to minimize the diff.
* General clean up.
Fixes#30203.

As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
- Avoid generic types in `ScriptPathAttributeGenerator`, this
means they won't be added to the `[AssemblyHasScripts]` attribute
and a `[ScriptPath]` attribute won't be added to the class.
Since generic classes can't be used as scripts they shouldn't use
those attributes, this also makes CSharpScript consider those types
invalid since they won't be added to the script/type map.
- Avoid generic types in `ScriptManagerBridge.LookupScriptsInAssembly`.
- Set `outMethodsDest` in `ScriptManagerBridge.UpdateScriptClassInfo`.
- Renamed `ConvertToX` to `ConvertToNativeX`.
- Renamed `ConvertToXObject` to `ConvertToX`.
- Renamed `ConvertToXManaged` to `ConvertToX`.
- Fix `Signal` name in bindings generator and csharp script.
ReadOnly properties are currently not allowed because the generated code
needs to set them, this also apply to `init` properties because they
need to be set after initialization.
This was a regression from 17b2838f39.
`MarshalUtils` was changed in the source generators to use
`ConvertTo<T>` and `CreateFrom<T>`, which don't support `GodotObject[]`
because it would need reflection.
As such, we need to keep the custom cases for `GodotObject[]` in
`MarshalUtils`.
This change aims to reduce the number of places that need to be changed
when adding or editing a Godot type to the bindings.
Since the addition of `Variant.From<T>/As<T>` and
`VariantUtils.CreateFrom<T>/ConvertTo<T>`, we can now replace a lot of
the previous code in the bindings generator and the source generators
that specify these conversions for each type manually.
The only exceptions are the generic Godot collections (`Array<T>` and
`Dictionary<TKey, TValue>`) which still use the old version, as that
one cannot be matched by our new conversion methods (limitation in the
language with generics, forcing us to use delegate pointers).
The cleanup applies to:
- Bindings generator:
- `TypeInterface.cs_variant_to_managed`
- `TypeInterface.cs_managed_to_variant`
- Source generators:
- `MarshalUtils.AppendNativeVariantToManagedExpr`
- `MarshalUtils.AppendManagedToNativeVariantExpr`
- `MarshalUtils.AppendVariantToManagedExpr`
- `MarshalUtils.AppendManagedToVariantExpr`
This commit replaces most usages of `ConvertManagedObjectToVariant` and
`ConvertVariantToManagedObjectOfType`, by using the `Godot.Variant`
struct instead of `System.Object`.
The most notable change is to the `GetGodotPropertyDefaultValues` method
that's generated for scripts. The dictionary it returns now stores
`Godot.Variant` values.
Remaining usages are:
- The `DelegateUtils` class, for the serialization of closure display
classes during assembly reloading by the editor. These display classes
are compiler generated classes to store values captured by a closure.
Since it's generated by the compiler, the only way we have to access
the fields is through reflection. This leads to using `System.Object`.
- Converting parameters when invoking constructors from the engine.
This will be replaced with source generators in the future.
- Legacy support for old `GetGodotPropertyDefaultValues` return values.
We need to keep supporting the old version of this generated method
for some time. Otherwise, if loading a project built with the previous
version, it could lead to the loss of exported property values.
Ideally, we should remove this legacy support before a stable release.
- Remove `VariantSpanDisposer`, no need to dispose of the Variant Spans
since we are now borrowing the Variants instead of copying them.
- Remove `VariantSpanExtensions.Cleared` that was only used so the
Span was initialized for `VariantSpanDisposer` to know what to dispose.
- Fix stackalloc Spans to use constant VarArgsSpanThreshold
and avoid bound checks.
These callbacks are used for marshaling by callables and generic Godot
collections.
C# generics don't support specialization the way C++ templates do.
I knew NativeAOT could optimize away many type checks when the types
are known at compile time, but I didn't trust the JIT would do as good
a job, so I initially went with cached function pointers.
Well, it turns out the JIT is also very good at optimizing in this
scenario, so I'm changing the methods to do the conversion directly,
rather than returning a function pointer for the conversion.
The methods were moved to `VariantUtils`, and were renamed from
`GetFromVariantCallback/GetToVariantCallback` to `ConvertTo/CreateFrom`.
The new implementation looks like it goes through many `if` checks
at runtime to find the right branch for the type, but in practice it
works pretty much like template specialization. The JIT only generates
code for the relevant branch. Together with inlining, the result is
very close or the same as doing the conversion manually:
```cs
godot_variant variant;
int foo = variant.Int;
int bar = VariantUtils.ConvertTo<int>(variant);
```
If the type is a generic Godot collection, the conversion still goes
through a function pointer call.
The new code happens to be much shorter as well, with the file going
from 1057 lines to 407.
Side note: `Variant.cs` was mistakenly created in the wrong folder,
so I moved it to the `Core` folder.
We aim to make the C# API reflection-free, mainly for concerns about
performance, and to be able to target NativeAOT in refletion-free mode,
which reduces the binary size.
One of the main usages of reflection still left was the dynamic
invokation of callable delegates, and for some time I wasn't sure
I would find an alternative solution that I'd be happy with.
The new solution uses trampoline functions to invoke the delegates:
```
static void Trampoline(object delegateObj, NativeVariantPtrArgs args, out godot_variant ret)
{
if (args.Count != 1)
throw new ArgumentException($"Callable expected 1 arguments but received {args.Count}.");
string res = ((Func<int, string>)delegateObj)(
VariantConversionCallbacks.GetToManagedCallback<int>()(args[0])
);
ret = VariantConversionCallbacks.GetToVariantCallback<string>()(res);
}
Callable.CreateWithUnsafeTrampoline((int num) => "Foo" + num, &Trampoline);
```
Of course, this is too much boilerplate for user code. To improve this,
the `Callable.From` methods were added. These are overloads that take
`Action` and `Func` delegates, which covers the most common use cases:
lambdas and method groups:
```
// Lambda
Callable.From((int num) => "Foo" + num);
// Method group
string AppendNum(int num) => "Foo" + num;
Callable.From(AppendNum);
```
Unfortunately, due to limitations in the C# language, implicit
conversions from delegates to `Callable` are not supported.
`Callable.From` does not support custom delegates. These should be
uncommon, but the Godot C# API actually uses them for event signals.
As such, the bindings generator was updated to generate trampoline
functions for event signals. It was also optimized to use `Action`
instead of a custom delegate for parameterless signals, which removes
the need for the trampoline functions for those signals.
The change to reflection-free invokation removes one of the last needs
for `ConvertVariantToManagedObjectOfType`. The only remaining usage is
from calling script constructors with parameters from the engine
(`CreateManagedForGodotObjectScriptInstance`). Once that one is made
reflection-free, `ConvertVariantToManagedObjectOfType` can be removed.
- Creates a `Godot.Offline.Config` file to configurate NuGet with
Godot's fallback folder. This is easier because now we can assume we can
override the entire file since user config will likely be in the default
`NuGet.Config` file or an additional `*.config` file.
- Ensure the NuGet fallback folder is created at the same time it is
added to the NuGet configuration so future builds don't fail.
- Add `GodotSharp` and `GodotSharpEditor` packages to the fallback folder.
- Add `.nupkg.metadata` file to packages in fallback folder.
- Refer to `Godot.SourceGenerators` using the specific non-floating version
since floating versions don't seem to work with fallbackPackageFolders.
We want to replace libnethost as it gives us issues with some compilers.
Our implementation tries to mimic libnethost's hostfxr_resolver search
logic. We try to use the same function names for easier comparing in
case we need to update this in the future.
When the C# bindings generator finds a type without meta assume the type
refers to the 64-bit version of the type:
- `float` is converted to `double`
- `int` is converted to `long`
- Fix platform detection after Linux OS name was renamed from `LinuxBSD`
to `Linux`
- Fix arch detection after renaming `64` to `x86_64`
- Fix typo in `find_hostfxr`
- Replace `IndexOutOfRangeException` with `ArgumentOutOfRangeException`
- Replace `Exception` with a more specific exception
- Add the parameter name to argument exception
- Update documentation for methods that throw exceptions
- Use `StringBuilder` to build exception messages
- Ensure exception messages end with a period
- Remove event as a valid target of `SignalAttribute`
- Stop adding the `[Signal]` attribute to events in bindings_generator
- Make bindings_generator use the `EventHandler` suffix to be consistent with the C# source generator
- Remove obsolete comment about the signal's delegate name
- MustBeVariant attribute can be used to enforce that generic types must
be a marshable from/to Variant.
- Also renames all diagnostic ids to be valid unicode identifiers.
- In cases where both `Xform`/`XformInv` and the `*` operator were
implemented the `Xform`/`XformInv` methods were removed in favor of the
`*` operator.
- In cases where the `Xform`/`XformInv` existed but not the `*` operator,
the `Xform`/`XformInv` methods were replaced with the `*` operator.
- In cases where no method existed, a new `*` operator has been
implemented to support the same operations that are supported in GDScript.
- Fixes the `Transform.Xform` and `Transform.XformInv` with `Rect2`
implementation to use a zero `Rect2` size to start expanding from
(which is how it's implemented in C++).
- Moves interop functions to UnmanagedCallbacks struct that
contains the function pointers and is passed to C#.
- Implements UnmanagedCallbacksGenerator, a C# source generator that
generates the UnmanagedCallbacks struct in C# and the body for the
NativeFuncs methods (their implementation just calls the function
pointer in the UnmanagedCallbacks). The generated methods are needed
because .NET pins byref parameters of native calls, even if they are
'ref struct's, which don't need pinning. The generated methods use
`Unsafe.AsPointer` so that we can benefit from byref parameters
without suffering overhead of pinning.

The setting is initially assigned the name of the Godot project,
but it's kept freezed to prevent issues when renaming the Godot
project.
The user can always rename the C# project and solution manually and
change the setting to the new name.
This new version does not support the following type arguments:
- Generic types
- Array of Godot Object (Godot.Object[]) or derived types
The new implementation uses delegate pointers to call the Variant
conversion methods. We do type checking only once in the static
constructor to get the conversion delegates.
Now, we no longer need to do type checking every time, and we no
longer have to box value types.
This is the best implementation I could come up with, as C# generics
don't support anything similar to C++ template specializations.
- Array and Dictionary now store `Variant` instead of `System.Object`.
- Removed generic Array and Dictionary.
They cause too much issues, heavily relying on reflection and
very limited by the lack of a generic specialization.
- Removed support for non-Godot collections.
Support for them also relied heavily on reflection for marshaling.
Support for them will likely be re-introduced in the future, but
it will have to rely on source generators instead of reflection.
- Reduced our use of reflection.
The remaining usages will be moved to source generators soon.
The only usage that I'm not sure yet how to replace is dynamic
invocation of delegates.
Changed the signal declaration signal to:
```
// The following generates a MySignal event
[Signal] public delegate void MySignalEventHandler(int param);
```
In the past, the Godot editor distributed the API assemblies and
copied them to project directories for projects to reference them.
This changed with the move to .NET 5/6. Godot no longer copies the
assemblies to project directories. However, the project Sdk still
tried to reference them from the same location.
From now on, the GodotSharp API is distributed as a NuGet package,
which the Sdk can reference.
Added an option to `build_assemblies.py` to copy all Godot NuGet
packages to an existing local NuGet source. This will be needed
during development, while packages are not published to a remote
NuGet repository.
This option also makes sure to remove packages of the same version
installed (~/.nuget/packages). Very useful during development, when
packages change, to make sure the package being used by a project is
the same we just built and not one from a previous build.
A local NuGet source can be created like this:
```
mkdir ~/MyLocalNuGetSource && \
dotnet nuget add source ~/MyLocalNuGetSource/ -n MyLocalNuGetSource
```
Previously, we added source generators for invoking/accessing methods,
properties and fields in scripts. This freed us from the overhead of
reflection. However, the generated code still used our dynamic
marshaling functions, which do runtime type checking and box value
types.
This commit changes the bindings and source generators to include
'static' marshaling. Based on the types known at compile time, now
we generate the appropriate marshaling call for each type.
The editor no longer needs to create temporary instances to get the
default values. The initializer values of the exported properties are
still evaluated at runtime. For example, in the following example,
`GetInitialValue()` will be called when first looks for default values:
```
[Export] int MyValue = GetInitialValue();
```
Exporting fields with a non-supported type now results in a compiler
error rather than a runtime error when the script is used.
This base implementation is still very barebones but it defines the path
for how exporting will work (at least when embedding the .NET runtime).
Many manual steps are still needed, which should be automatized in the
future. For example, in addition to the API assemblies, now you also
need to copy the GodotPlugins assembly to each game project.
Finalizers are longer guaranteed to be called on exit now that
we switched to .NET Core. This results in native instances leaking.
The only solution I can think of so far is to keep a list of all
instances alive to dispose when the AssemblyLoadContext.Unloading
event is raised.
This replaces the way we invoke methods and set/get properties.
This first iteration rids us of runtime type checking in those
cases, as it's now done at compile time.
Later it will also stop needing the use of reflection. After that,
we will only depend on reflection for generic Godot Array and
Dictionary. We're stuck with reflection in generic collections
for now as C# doesn't support generic/template specialization.
This is only the initial implementation. Further iterations are
coming, specially once we switch to the native extension system
which completely changes the way members are accessed/invoked.
For example, with the native extension system we will likely need
to create `UnmanagedCallersOnly` invoke wrapper methods and return
function pointers to the engine.
Other kind of members, like event signals will be receiving the
same treatment in the future.
