For this to work safely (user not call queue_free or something in the expression), a const call mode was added to Object and Variant (and optionally Script).
This mode ensures only const functions can be called, making it safe to use from the editor.

* Map is unnecessary and inefficient in almost every case.
* Replaced by the new HashMap.
* Renamed Map to RBMap and Set to RBSet for cases that still make sense
(order matters) but use is discouraged.
There were very few cases where replacing by HashMap was undesired because
keeping the key order was intended.
I tried to keep those (as RBMap) as much as possible, but might have missed
some. Review appreciated!
Adds a new, cleaned up, HashMap implementation.
* Uses Robin Hood Hashing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table#Robin_Hood_hashing).
* Keeps elements in a double linked list for simpler, ordered, iteration.
* Allows keeping iterators for later use in removal (Unlike Map<>, it does not do much
for performance vs keeping the key, but helps replace old code).
* Uses a more modern C++ iterator API, deprecates the old one.
* Supports custom allocator (in case there is a wish to use a paged one).
This class aims to unify all the associative template usage and replace it by this one:
* Map<> (whereas key order does not matter, which is 99% of cases)
* HashMap<>
* OrderedHashMap<>
* OAHashMap<>
Implemented by request of @neikeq to advance in the GDExtension version of Mono.
* If a Resource type is missing upon load, it will be remembered together with its data (Unless manually overriden).
* If a Node type is missing upon load, it will be also be remembered together with its data (unless deleted).
This feature makes working with GDExtension much easier, as it ensures that missing types no longer cause data loss.
These typedefs don't save much typing compared to the full `Ref<Resource>`
and `Ref<RefCounted>`, yet they sometimes introduce confusion among
new contributors.
Type emit_signal exposed method return type
set UndoRedo add_do_method and add_undo_method exposed return void
Set TreeItem::_call_recursive_bind returns void
Set _rpc_bind and _rpc_id_bind returns void in Node
Set _call_group and _call_group_flags method returns void in SceneTree
Set godot-cpp-test CI flag to false
* API kept the same (Although functions could be renamed to set_metadata/get_metadata in a later PR), so not much should change.
* Metadata now exposed as individual properties.
* Properties are editable in inspector (unless metadata name begins with _) under the metadata/ namespace.
* Added the ability to Add/Remove metadata properties to the inspector.
This is a functionality that was requested very often, that makes metadata work a bit more similar to custom properties in Blender.
* Very old macros from the time Godot was created.
* Limited arguments to 5 (then later changed to 8) in many places.
* They were replaced by C++11 Variadic Templates.
* Renamed methods that take argument pointers to have a "p" suffix. This was used in some places and not in others, so made it standard.
* Also added a dereference check for Variant*. Helped catch a couple of bugs.
Sets `AlignOperands` to `DontAlign`.
`clang-format` developers seem to mostly care about space-based indentation and
every other version of clang-format breaks the bad mismatch of tabs and spaces
that it seems to use for operand alignment. So it's better without, so that it
respects our two-tabs `ContinuationIndentWidth`.
Extension class properties that have been registered with
ClassDB(`GDNativeInterface::classdb_register_extension_class_property`)
were not fetched previously. (Only directly providing a property
list using `GDNativeExtensionClassCreationInfo::get_property_list_func`
would work.) This especially caused problems with the C++
bindings since they exclusively rely on ClassDB to register properties.
* New syntax is type safe.
* New syntax allows for type safe virtuals in native extensions.
* New syntax permits extremely fast calling.
Note: Everything was replaced where possible except for `_gui_input` `_input` and `_unhandled_input`.
These will require API rework on a separate PR as they work different than the rest of the functions.
Added a new method flag METHOD_FLAG_OBJECT_CORE, used internally. Allows to not dump the core virtuals like `_notification` to the json API, since each language will implement those as it is best fits.
This sends the Godot object instance back to the extension so they can
keep a pointer for function calls.
Incidentally fix argument order on instance bindings callback for free()
The various get_meta, set_meta, has_meta, get_meta_list, remove_meta
functions now uses StringName, allowing further optimizations via the
SNAME macro when used from C++ (this PR does not change the various
usage though).
* The harcoded 8 slots are no more and impose limits in the new extension system.
* New system is limitless, although it will impose small performance hit with a mutex.
* Use a token to request the instance binding.
**Warning**: Mono will most likely break as a result of this, will need to be modified to use the new system.
* Deprecates GDNative in favor of a simpler, lower level interface.
* New extension system allows registering core engine classes.
* Simple header interface in gdnative_interace.h
- Based on C++11's `atomic`
- Reworked `SafeRefCount` (based on the rewrite by @hpvb)
- Replaced free atomic functions by the new `SafeNumeric<T>`
- Replaced wrong cases of `volatile bool` by the new `SafeFlag`
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed

-For inspector refresh, the inspector now detects if a property change by polling a few times per second and then does update the control if so. This process is very cheap.
-For property list refresh, a new signal (property_list_changed) was added to Object. _change_notify() is replaced by notify_property_list_changed()
-Changed all objects using the old method to the signal, or just deleted the calls to _change_notify(<property>) since they are unnecesary now.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
