The parser and analyzer now track the dependencies of the script and
return the list when the resource loader ask for them.
What is considered a dependency:
- Any `preload()` call.
- The base script this one extends.
- Any identifier, including types, that refers to global scripts.
- Any autoload singleton reference.
- Unify documentation, hoping to clear misconcepctions about about propagation of the cache mode across dependant loads.
- Clarify in docs that `CACHE_MODE_REPLACE` now also works on the main resource (from #87008).
- Add two recursive modes, counterparts of `CACHE_MODE_REPLACE` and `CACHE_MODE_IGNORE`, since it seems some need them (see #59669, #82830).
- Let resources, even loaded with one of the ignore-cache modes, get a path, which is useful for tools.
Besides the regular option to export GDScript as binary tokens, this
also includes a compression option on top of it. The binary format
needs to encode some information which generally makes it bigger than
the source text. This option reduces that difference by using Zstandard
compression on the buffer.
This adds back a function available in 3.x: exporting the GDScript
files in a binary form by converting the tokens recognized by the
tokenizer into a data format.
It is enabled by default on export but can be manually disabled. The
format helps with loading times since, the tokens are easily
reconstructed, and with hiding the source code, since recovering it
would require a specialized tool. Code comments are not stored in this
format.
The `--test` command can also include a `--use-binary-tokens` flag
which will run the GDScript tests with the binary format instead of the
regular source code by converting them in-memory before the test runs.
This reverts commit c7f68a27ec.
We still think GDScript files need UIDs to allow safe refactoring,
but we're still debating what form those should take exactly.
So far there seems to be agreement that it shouldn't be done via an
annotation as implemented here, so we're reverting this one for now,
to revisit the feature in a future PR.
Fixes the issue by adding a mechanism by which the functions that were
previously disappearing can be profiled too. This is optional with
an editor setting, since collecting more information naturally slows the engine
further while profiling.
Fixes#23715, #40251, #29049
get_must_clear_dependencies() has a N^3*log(N) time complexity, and this can very quickly slow down the quitting process as more gdscripts are added in a project.
This change improves it to N^2*log(N).
Instead of using all the inverted dependencies, we do the same with all (non-inverted) dependencies, which is N times faster.
Fixes#85435
This patch fixes the user having to navigate away from the selected node which has the derived script attached and back to see the changes of the base script exports reflected in the property editor.
Within a match statement, it is now possible to add guards in each
branch:
var a = 0
match a:
0 when false: print("does not run")
0 when true: print("but this does")
This allows more complex logic for deciding which branch to take.
