1. Make handling of user tokens atomic:
Loads started with the external-facing API used to perform a two-step setup of the user token. Between both, the mutex was unlocked without its reference count having been increased. A non-user-initiated load could therefore destroy the load task when it unreferenced the token.
Those stages now happen atomically so in the one hand, the described race condition can't happen so the load task life insurance doesn't have a gap anymore and, on the other hand, the ugliness that the call to load could return `ERR_BUSY` if happening while other thread was between both steps is gone.
The code has been refactored so the user token concerns are still outside the inner load start function, which is agnostic to that for a cleaner implementation.
2. Clear ambiguity between load operations running on `WorkerThreadPool`:
The two cases are: single-loaded thread directly started by a user pool task and a load started by the system as part of a multi-threaded load.
Since ensuring all the code dealing with this distinction would make it very complex, and error-prone, a different measure is applied instead: just take one of the cases out of the dicotomy. We now ensure every load happening on a pool thread has been initiated by the system.
The way of achieving that is that a single-threaded user-started load initiated from a pool thread, is run as another task.
Benefits:
- Simpler code. The main load function is renamed so it's apparent that it's not just a thread entry point anymore.
- Cache and thread modes of the original task are honored. A beautiful consequence of this is that, unlike formerly, re-issued loads can use the resource cache, which makes this mechanism much more performant.
- The newly added getter for caller task id in WorkerThreadPool allows to remove the custom tracking of that in ResourceLoader.
- The check to replace a cached resource and the replacement itself happen atomically. That fixes deadlock prevention leading to multiple resource instances of the same one on disk. As a side effect, it also makes the regular check for replace load mode more robust.
This switches to 64-bit integers in select locations of the Image
class, so that image resolutions of 16384×16384 (used by
lightmap texture arrays) can be used properly. Values that are larger
should also work.
VRAM compression is also supported, although most VRAM-compressed
formats are limited to individual slices of 16384×16384. WebP
is limited to 16383×16383 due to format limitations.
This is about not letting the resource format loader set the error code directly on the task anymore. Instead, it's stored locally and assigned only when it is right to do so.
Otherwise, other tasks may see an error code in the current one before it's state having transitioned to errored. While this, besides the technically true data race, may not be a problem in practice, it causes surprising situations during debugging as it breaks assumptions.
ResourceLoader:
- Fix invalid tokens being returned.
- Remove no longer written `ThreadLoadTask::dependent_path` and the code reading from it.
- Clear deadlock hazard by keeping the mutex unlocked during userland polling.
WorkerThreadPool:
- Include thread call queue override in the thread state reset set, which allows to simplify the code that handled that (imperfectly) in the ResourceLoader.
- Handle the mutex type correctly on entering an allowance zone.
CommandQueueMT:
- Handle the additional possibility of command buffer reallocation that mutex unlock allowance introduces.
These deferring measures were added to aid threaded resource loading in being safe.
They were removed as seemingly unneeded, but it seems they are needed so resources involved in threaded loading interact with others only after "sync points".
- Allows the message queue override to flush after loading each resource, which was the original intent.
- Removes a redundant call to mark the thread as safe-for-nodes.
- `CACHE_MODE_IGNORE_DEEP` is checked in addition to `CACHE_MODE_IGNORE` to determine if a load is uncached. This avoids crashes in uncached loads due to prematurely freed load tasks.
- Cached load tasks are isolated (not registered in the task map ever). This avoids regular loads from reusing in-flight cached loads, which is not correct.
* Replaces `find(...) != -1` with `contains` for `String`
* Replaces `find(...) == -1` with `!contains` for `String`
* Replaces `find(...) != -1` with `has` for containers
* Replaces `find(...) == -1` with `!has` for containers
Random-access access to `List` when iterating is `O(n^2)` (`O(n)` when
accessing a single element)
* Removed subscript operator, in favor of a more explicit `get`
* Added conversion from `Iterator` to `ConstIterator`
* Remade existing operations into other solutions when applicable
Text editors cannot display ANSI escape codes, so these should be
stripped from log files to ensure readability.
Since this uses a regex, this works both for `print_rich()`
and manually inserted ANSI escape codes.

* Allow typed arrays to be encoded even if `p_full_objects` is `false`.
* Use `Array[EncodedObjectAsID]` instead of the encoded element type
when decoding an array if `p_allow_objects` is `false`.
If the `StreamPeerTCP` is polled and the TCP connection is `STATUS_CONNECTED` it should return after polling netsocket. Without `return` poll keeps calling `_sock->connect_to_host` and `connect()`.
We changed how scripts are binary serialized, and added a check to
ensure the new format is enforced, but there is still a case where the
old format (plain "prop"-"value" combo) is used, and that is when the
script is NIL.
