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
