This assumes that operators are called usually with the same type of
operands as the first time. So it stores the types of the first run and
if matched it uses an optimized path by calling the validated operator
function directly. Otherwise it uses the regular untyped evaluator.
With this change, if operators do use the same type they run quite
faster. OTOH, if the types mismatch it takes longer to run than they
would with the previous code.
* This implementation adds threads on the side of the client (script debugger).
* Some functions of the debugger are optimized.
* The profile is also now thread safe using atomics.
* The editor can switch between multiple threads when debugging.
This PR adds threaded support for the script language debugger. Every thread has its own thread local data and it will connect to the debugger using multiple thread IDs.
This means that, now, the editor can receive multiple threads entering debug mode at the same time.
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
Which allows editable data associated with a particular class instead of
the instance. Scripts with static variables are kept in memory
indefinitely unless the `@static_unload` annotation is used or the
`static_unload()` method is called on the GDScript.
If the custom function `_static_init()` exists it will be called when
the class is loaded, after the static variables are set.
The hard limit is set at 2048 depth which seems sensible between
legitimate recursive calls while still avoiding a crash because of a
stack overflow in most of the cases.
Note that it is still possible to reach the stack limit and get an
overflow before reaching a call depth. This is intended as a half-way
measure to stop crashing in most cases, since there's no reliable nor
portable way to check the amount of stack memory left.
- Consider PackedArrays non-shared since they are copied on C++/script
boundaries.
- Add error messages in the analyzer when assigning to read-only
properties.
- Add specific error message at runtime when assignment fails because
the property is read-only.
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".
* Removed instruction argument count and instruction prefetching. This is now done on the fly. Reduces jumps.
* OPCODE_DISPATCH now goes directly to the next instruction, like in Godot 3.x.
I have nothing I can use to test performance, so if anyone wants to lend a hand and compare with master (both on debug and release), it would be very welcome.
Implement built-in classes Vector4, Vector4i and Projection.
* Two versions of Vector4 (float and integer).
* A Projection class, which is a 4x4 matrix specialized in projection types.
These types have been requested for a long time, but given they were very corner case they were not added before.
Because in Godot 4, reimplementing parts of the rendering engine is now possible, access to these types (heavily used by the rendering code) becomes a necessity.
**Q**: Why Projection and not Matrix4?
**A**: Godot does not use Matrix2, Matrix3, Matrix4x3, etc. naming convention because, within the engine, these types always have a *purpose*. As such, Godot names them: Transform2D, Transform3D or Basis. In this case, this 4x4 matrix is _always_ used as a _Projection_, hence the naming.
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.

When a type is shared (i.e. passed by reference) it doesn't need to be
called in a setter chain (e.g. `a.b.c = 0`) since it will be updated in
place.
This commit adds an instruction that jumps when the value is shared so
it can be used to skip those cases and avoid redundant calls of setters.
It also solves issues when assigning to sub-properties of read-only
properties.
* 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!
The stack now contains three special addresses that should no be copied
to the state, since it contains references that creates cycles. They can
be recreated when the function is resumed.
This commit also removes the clearing of stack from the
GDScriptFunctionState destructor, since it should be cleared when the
function exits. The state stack should only be cleared manually if the
instance is freed before the state resumes (which is already being
done). Otherwise this would destruct the stack twice, causing crashes.
* 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.
