Add `object_prefix` as an scons option to add a custom prefix to
all generated object files, via the `OBJPREFIX` and `SHOBJPREFIX`
environment variables.
This is useful for instance to hide object files on unix-like
systems and make the source directories less cluttered by
setting `object_prefix = '.'` in `custom.py`.
Upon investigating the extremely slow MSVC build times in #80513, I noticed
that while Godot policy is to never use exceptions, we weren't enforcing it
with compiler flags, and thus still included exception handling code and
stack unwinding.
This is wasteful on multiple aspects:
- Binary size: Around 20% binary size reduction with exceptions disabled
for both MSVC and GCC binaries.
- Compile time:
* More than 50% build time reduction with MSVC.
* 10% to 25% build time reduction with GCC + LTO.
- Performance: Possibly, needs to be benchmarked.
Since users may want to re-enable exceptions in their own thirdparty code
or the libraries they compile with Godot, this behavior can be toggled with
the `disable_exceptions` SCons option, which defaults to true.
"scu_limit" allows specifying the maximum number of includes in a single SCU file (translation unit). A lower limit (e.g. 8) uses less RAM during compilation, but may be slower to compile.
Follow-up to #75932.
Since these icons are only used by the export plugin, it makes sense to
move them and generate the headers there.
The whole `detect.is_active()` logic seems to be a leftover from before
times, as far back as 1.0-stable it already wasn't used for anything.
So I'm removing it and moving the export icon generation to
`platform_methods`, where it makes more sense.
Adds a new OS::get_system_ca_certs method which can be implemented by
platforms to retrieve the list of trusted CA certificates using OS
specific APIs.
The function should return the certificates in PEM format, and is
currently implemented for Windows/macOS/LinuxBSD(*)/Android.
mbedTLS will fall back to bundled certificates when the OS returns no
certificates.
(*) LinuxBSD does not have a standardized certificates store location.
The current implementation will test for common locations and may
return an empty string on some distributions (falling back to the
bundled certificates).
- Use -gdwarf-4 to support both LLVM and GCC when calling addr2line
- Subtract position-independant execuable relocation when passing the
address to addr2line
This is equivalent to calling `strip` on the resulting binary, which is what
we do for official builds.
This applies for GCC/Clang.
For MSVC `/DEBUG:NONE` should already be the default.
Replace all TODO uses of `#warning` by proper TODO comments, and will open
matching bug reports to keep track of them.
We don't have a great track record fixing TODOs, but I'd wager we're even
worse for fixing these "TODO #warning" so we should prohibit this usage.
- Outright disable spammy warnings due to past or present GCC bugs:
* `-Wno-strict-overflow` for GCC 7.
* `-Wno-type-limits` for GCC before 11 (regressed in 9/10, might work in
earlier releases but at this stage we don't care).
* `-Wno-return-type` for GCC 12/13 (regression, still not fixed).
- Enable extra warnings conditionally when broken on earlier GCC:
* `-Wnoexcept` was removed due to an upstream regression in GCC 9, could
be re-enabled (but commented out for now as we actually have `-Wnoexcept`
warnings to fix.
* `-Wlogical-op` was broken on our variadic templates before GCC 11, now
seems fine.
Mainly:
- Make `max_descriptors_per_pool` project setting Vulkan-specific.
- Use a common, render driver agnostic magic FourCC for shader binary data.
- Downgrade spirv_reflect to Vulkan-only dependency.
- Add a `RENDER_DRIVER_*` macro to GLSL shader code for per-driver customizations.
Implements https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/3371.
New `target` presets
====================
The `tools` option is removed and `target` changes to use three new presets,
which match the builds users are familiar with. These targets control the
default optimization level and enable editor-specific and debugging code:
- `editor`: Replaces `tools=yes target=release_debug`.
* Defines: `TOOLS_ENABLED`, `DEBUG_ENABLED`, `-O2`/`/O2`
- `template_debug`: Replaces `tools=no target=release_debug`.
* Defines: `DEBUG_ENABLED`, `-O2`/`/O2`
- `template_release`: Replaces `tools=no target=release`.
* Defines: `-O3`/`/O2`
New `dev_build` option
======================
The previous `target=debug` is now replaced by a separate `dev_build=yes`
option, which can be used in combination with either of the three targets,
and changes the following:
- `dev_build`: Defines `DEV_ENABLED`, disables optimization (`-O0`/`/0d`),
enables generating debug symbols, does not define `NDEBUG` so `assert()`
works in thirdparty libraries, adds a `.dev` suffix to the binary name.
Note: Unlike previously, `dev_build` defaults to off so that users who
compile Godot from source get an optimized and small build by default.
Engine contributors should now set `dev_build=yes` in their build scripts or
IDE configuration manually.
Changed binary names
====================
The name of generated binaries and object files are changed too, to follow
this format:
`godot.<platform>.<target>[.dev][.double].<arch>[.<extra_suffix>][.<ext>]`
For example:
- `godot.linuxbsd.editor.dev.arm64`
- `godot.windows.template_release.double.x86_64.mono.exe`
Be sure to update your links/scripts/IDE config accordingly.
More flexible `optimize` and `debug_symbols` options
====================================================
The optimization level and whether to generate debug symbols can be further
specified with the `optimize` and `debug_symbols` options. So the default
values listed above for the various `target` and `dev_build` combinations
are indicative and can be replaced when compiling, e.g.:
`scons p=linuxbsd target=template_debug dev_build=yes optimize=debug`
will make a "debug" export template with dev-only code enabled, `-Og`
optimization level for GCC/Clang, and debug symbols. Perfect for debugging
complex crashes at runtime in an exported project.
- `_DEBUG` is MSVC specific so it didn't make much sense to define for
Android and iOS builds.
- iOS was the only platform to define `DEBUG`. We don't use it anywhere
outside thirdparty code, which we usually don't intend to debug, so it
seems better to be consistent with other platforms.
- Consistently define `NDEBUG` to disable assert behavior in both `release`
and `release_debug` targets. This used to be set for `release` for all
platforms, and `release_debug` for Android and iOS only.
- Due to the above, I removed the only use we made of `assert()` in Godot
code, which was only implemented for Unix anyway, should have been
`DEV_ENABLED`, and is in PoolAllocator which we don't actually use.
- The denoise and recast modules keep defining `NDEBUG` even for the `debug`
target as we don't want OIDN and Embree asserting all over the place.
This makes it possible to retrieve all relevant versioning info used to
generate `core/version_generated.gen.h` in the buildsystem.
Notably it makes the custom logic parsing the `GODOT_VERSION_STATUS`
environment variable to override status easy to reuse.
Adds support for LTO on macOS and Android. We don't have much experience
with LTO on these platforms so for now we keep it disabled by default
even when `production=yes` is set.
Similarly for iOS where we ship object files for the user to link in
Xcode so LTO makes builds extremely slow to link.
`production=yes` defaults to full LTO.
ThinLTO is much faster for LLVM-based compilers but seems to produce
bigger binaries (at least for the Web platform).
Modules can now call:
env.module_add_dependencies(name: str, deps: list, optional: bool)
To add required or optional dependencies during the "can_build" step.
Required dependencies will be checked and the module will be not be
enabled when they are missing, printing a warning to notify the user.
Adds SCons options to disable Brotli and Graphite.
Adds option categories to the build profiles editor.
Adds options default state to the build profiles editor.
Adds Text Server related options to the build profiles editor.
Fix misplaced OpenGL/Vulkan SCons options.
This PR is a continuation of #50381 (which was implemented exactly a year ago!)
* Add a visual interface to select which classes should not be built into Godot (well, they are built if something else uses them, but if not used the optimizer will remove them out).
* Add a detection system to scan the project and figure out the actual classes used.
* Added the ability for SCons to load build profiles.
Obligatory Screen:
A simple test with a couple of nodes in the scene resulted in a 25% reduction for the final binary size
TODO:
* Script languages need to implement used class detection (left for another PR).
* Options to disable servers or server functionalities (like 2D or 3D physics, navigation, etc). Are missing, that should also greatly aid in reducing binary size.
* Options to disable some modules would be desired.
* More options to disable drivers (OpenGL, Vulkan, etc) would be desired.
In general this PR is a starting point for more contributors to improve and enhance this functionality.
This doesn't change the behavior when `--jobs`/`-j` is specified as a
command-line argument or in `SCONSFLAGS`.
The SCons hack used to know if `num_jobs` was set by the user is derived
from the MongoDB setup.
We use `os.cpu_count()` for portability (available since Python 3.4).
With 4 CPUs or less, we use the max. With more than 4 we use max - 1 to
preserve some bandwidth for the user's other programs.
We shouldn't presume that future compilers will not have false positives or
find new occurrences of this warning, which would break compiling old versions
of the engine without passing custom `CXXFLAGS`.
Follow-up to #60652.
SConstruct change also makes it possible to outright delete the `editor`
folder in a `tools=no` build, which we use in CI to ensure no invalid
cross-dependencies are added.
It has been disabled in `master` since one year (#45852) and our plan
is for Bullet, and possibly other thirdparty physics engines, to be
implemented via GDExtension so that they can be selected by the users
who need them.
This reverts #53828 which had caused a significant drop in incremental
rebuild time for debug builds (from 10s to 23s on my laptop).
The "faster but unsafe" options are re-added, as well as adding
`max_drift=60` which we didn't use previously.
These options speed up SCons' own processing of the codebase to decide
what to build/rebuild (i.e. the first step before actually calling the
compiler). This will therefore not make much difference for scratch
builds, and is mostly useful for incremental rebuilds (including "null"
rebuilds with no change).
These options are enabled automatically for `debug` builds, unless
`fast_unsafe=no` is passed.
They are disabled by default for `release` and `release_debug` builds,
unless `fast_unsafe=yes` is passed.
The Godot Project Leadership Committe has decided to update the sponsoring
tiers so that the Platinum Sponsorship no longer includes a logo on the
editor splash screen.
This lets us reclaim the editor splash screen space for community-related
content instead of sponsors (e.g. a different community-designed splash
screen for each stable branch?).
Also removes two Platinum Sponsors whose sponsorship has expired earlier this
year.
When disabling specific modules, misspellings can occur. Additionally,
when switching between the `3.x` and `master` branches frequently,
it's possible to forget about renamed modules such as `lightmapper_cpu`
versus `lightmapper_rd`.
Note, the editor build requires the mbedtls module to be manually
enabled, as it is currently needed as a ResourceUID dependency.
This will need to be addressed in a separate PR.
- Rename OpenGL to GLES3 in the source code per community feedback.
- The renderer is still exposed as "OpenGL 3" to the user.
- Hide renderer selection dropdown until OpenGL support is more mature.
- The renderer can still be changed in the Project Settings or using
the `--rendering-driver opengl` command line argument.
- Remove commented out exporter code.
- Remove some OpenGL/DisplayServer-related debugging prints.
First implementation with Linux display manager.
- Add single-threaded mode for EditorResourcePreview (needed for OpenGL).

We've had many issues with WebM support and specifically the libvpx library
over the years, mostly due to its poor integration in Godot's buildsystem,
but without anyone really interested in improving this state.
With the new GDExtensions in Godot 4.0, we intend to move video decoding to
first-party extensions, and this would likely be done using something like
libvlc to expose more codecs.
Removing the `webm` module means we can remove libsimplewebm, libvpx and
opus, which we were only used for that purpose. Both libvpx and opus were
fairly complex pieces of the buildsystem, so this is a nice cleanup.
This also removes the compile-time dependency on `yasm`.
Fixes lots of compilation or non-working WebM issues which will be linked
in the PR.
Current SCons 4.2.0 still supports Python 3.5 but deprecated it, and support
will be removed in the next release.
It's also become needlessly restrictive to prevent ourselves from using Python
3.6 f-Strings, so it's time to up the requirement.
They haven't really helped save much time on incremental rebuilds, and they do
cause potential issues with build correctness (and possibly even one of the cause
for overly eager incremental rebuilds).
