The hash symbol creates spurious issue references on GitHub if
the message is posted outside a code block, which means some issues
have a lot more references than originally intended.
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`.
Move the autoload resolution to runtime by loading it into the stack
with an extra instruction. This allows an autoload to use another
autoload singleton independent of load order.
This adds initialization to every typed temporary stack slot at the
beginning of the function call instead of emitting instructions, since
those might be in a conditional branch and not be called.
There's now only 3 addressing modes: stack, constant, and member.
Self, class, and nil are now present respectively in the first 3 stack
slots. Global and class constants are moved to local constants when
compiling. Named globals is only present on editor to use on tool
singletons, so its use now emits a new instruction to copy the global to
the stack.
This allow us to further optimize the VM later by embedding the
addressing modes in the instructions themselves, which is better done
with less permutations.
When the type cannot be validated at compile time, the runtime must do a
check to ensure type safety is kept, as the code might be assuming the
return type is correct in another place, leading to crashes if the
contract is broken.
- Use `Array[type]` for type-hints. e.g.:
`var array: Array[int] = [1, 2, 3]`
- Array literals are typed if their storage is typed (variable
asssignment of as argument in function all). Otherwise they are
untyped.
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 🎆
Instead of references. This is needed because those function pointers
are used in GDNative which needs to work with plain C, which doesn't
support passing parameters by reference.
The removed check was adding a protection for the case where a `Reference` has not yet got its reference count initialized and a script is called on it. That would cause the object to be released after the call. The removed code was constructing the `Variant` via the `Object` constructor so it didn't deal with the reference count and so the release was prevented.
However, `Variant` no longer works that way so that check was useless. Now it's just illegal to run GDScript on a Reference whose reference count has not been initialized.
- Initialize Object pointer to nullptr so it's not used by mistake.
- When setting an Object check if it's a reference so refcounting works
as intended.
They are now called "utility functions" to avoid confusion with methods
of builtin types, and be consistent with the naming in Variant.
Core utility functions are now available in GDScript. The ones missing
in core are added specifically to GDScript as helpers for convenience.
Some functions were remove when there are better ways to do, reducing
redundancy and cleaning up the global scope.
Almost all instructions need variant arguments. With this change they
are loaded in an array before each instruction call. This makes the
addressing code be localized to less places, improving compilation
overhead and binary size by a small margin.
This should not affect performance.
