Extracted the most minimal core initialization functionality from
`setup()` and `setup2()` so that `ClassDB` could be tested properly
(input, audio, rendering, physics etc, are excluded).
Display and rendering servers/singletons are not initialized at all.
Due to the fact that most subsystems are disabled, fixed various crashes in the
process (in order):
- `AcceptDialog` OK/cancel swap behavior (used `DisplayServer` while
`register_scene_types()`);
- `make_default_theme` which depends on `RenderingServer`;
- `XRServer` singleton access while calling `register_modules_types()`;
- hidden bug in a way joypads are cleaned up (MacOS and Linux only).
Removed manual `ClassDB` init/cleanup calls from `test_validate_testing.h`.

This code currently isn't compiled (and cannot compile).
We plan to re-add OpenGL ES-based renderer(s) in Godot 4.0 alongside Vulkan
(probably ES 3.0, possibly also a low-end ES 2.0), but the code will be quite
different so it's not relevant to keep this old Godot 3.2 code.
The `drivers/gles2` code from the `3.2` branch can be used as a reference for
a potential new implementation.
Until https://github.com/psf/black/pull/1328 makes it in a stable release,
we have to use the latest from Git.
Apply new style fixes done by latest black.
Implements exit codes into the engine so tests can return their statuses.
Ideally we don't do this, and we use FIXUP logic to 'begin' and 'end' the engine execution for tests specifically.
Since realistically we're initialising the engine here we don't want to do that, since String should not require an engine startup to test a single header.
This lowers the complexity of running the unit tests and even for
physics should be possible to implement such a fix.
Its last use was removed in Godot 3.0, so it no longer makes sense to define.
Also removed `D3D_DEBUG_INFO` for Windows as it's likely a left over from a
long time ago pre-opensourcing when Godot had some form of Direct3D 9 support?
When creating a window, Godot would first register it to the WM(show it) and then set its flags.
This works fine on a floating WM, but on tiling WMs as soon as a window gets registered
the WM immediately acts on the window by scaling it up and treating it as a generic window,
being registered without any special flags.
This commit separates the showing of the window into another function and calls it after the most important flags are set,
making windows with special flags(eg. all popups) work again on tiling WMs.
Fixes#37930

The Online Tutorials section of InputMap in the editor's built-in

The macOS implementation for opening a link percent-encodes it before
sending it to the browser, resulting in a 404. This is to fix#13422
where filenames with special characters could not be opened in Finder.
However, this breaks URLS so I added a check to see if the resource
scheme is file:// and if so, only then is it escaped. This allows other
schemes like `http`, `ftp`, and `mailto` to be used.
- Makes all boolean setters/getters consistent.
- Fixes bug where `glow_hdr_bleed_scale` was not used.
- Split CameraEffects to their own source file.
- Reorder all Environment method and properties declarations,
definitions and bindings to be consistent with each other
and with the order of property bindings.
- Bind missing enum values added with SDFGI.
- Remove unused SDFGI enhance_ssr boolean.
- Sync doc changes after SDFGI merge and other misc changes.
"Bundle Identifier" is more well-understood among macOS and iOS
developers and is less ambiguous.
This is a slight breaking change as export presets will need to be
updated to account for this change.
See https://github.com/godotengine/godot-docs/pull/3295.
I couldn't find a tool that enforces it, so I went the manual route:
```
find -name "thirdparty" -prune \
-o -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.h" -o -name "*.m" -o -name "*.mm" \
-o -name "*.glsl" > files
perl -0777 -pi -e 's/\n}\n([^#])/\n}\n\n\1/g' $(cat files)
misc/scripts/fix_style.sh -c
```
This adds a newline after all `}` on the first column, unless they
are followed by `#` (typically `#endif`). This leads to having lots
of places with two lines between function/class definitions, but
clang-format then fixes it as we enforce max one line of separation.
This doesn't fix potential occurrences of function definitions which
are indented (e.g. for a helper class defined in a .cpp), but it's
better than nothing. Also can't be made to run easily on CI/hooks so
we'll have to be careful with new code.
Part of #33027.
Which means that reduz' beloved style which we all became used to
will now be changed automatically to remove the first empty line.
This makes us lean closer to 1TBS (the one true brace style) instead
of hybridating it with some Allman-inspired spacing.
There's still the case of braces around single-statement blocks that
needs to be addressed (but clang-format can't help with that, but
clang-tidy may if we agree about it).
Part of #33027.
Part of #33027, also discussed in #29848.
Enforcing the use of brackets even on single line statements would be
preferred, but `clang-format` doesn't have this functionality yet.
It changed name as part of the DisplayServer and input refactoring
in #37317, with the rationale that input no longer goes through the
main loop, so the previous Input singleton now only does filtering.
But the gains in consistency are quite limited in the renaming, and
it breaks compatibility for all scripts and tutorials that access
the Input singleton via the scripting language. A temporary option
was suggested to keep the scripting singleton named `Input` even if
its type is `InputFilter`, but that adds inconsistency and breaks C#.

Fixes#37690.
Configured for a max line length of 120 characters.
psf/black is very opinionated and purposely doesn't leave much room for
configuration. The output is mostly OK so that should be fine for us,
but some things worth noting:
- Manually wrapped strings will be reflowed, so by using a line length
of 120 for the sake of preserving readability for our long command
calls, it also means that some manually wrapped strings are back on
the same line and should be manually merged again.
- Code generators using string concatenation extensively look awful,
since black puts each operand on a single line. We need to refactor
these generators to use more pythonic string formatting, for which
many options are available (`%`, `format` or f-strings).
- CI checks and a pre-commit hook will be added to ensure that future
buildsystem changes are well-formatted.
For us, it practically only changes the fact that `A<A<int>>` is now
used instead of the C++03 compatible `A<A<int> >`.
Note: clang-format 10+ changed the `Standard` arguments to fully
specified `c++11`, `c++14`, etc. versions, but we can't use `c++17`
now if we want to preserve compatibility with clang-format 8 and 9.
`Cpp11` is still supported as deprecated alias for `Latest`.
This reverts commit c924e83a64.
SCons `FRAMEWORKS` is, according to their latest docs, only supported
"On Mac OS X with gcc". While the "with gcc" part seems bogus, #36795
did introduce a link failure for our osxcross toolchain for compiling
macOS binaries from Linux. SCons probably fails to detect this as a
macOS target and does not use its `FRAMEWORKS` logic properly.
So using `LINKFLAGS` as we used to is the more portable solution.

Closes#36720
- Removed platform-specific implementations.
- Now all semaphores are in-object, unless they need to be conditionally created.
- Similarly to `Mutex`, provided a dummy implementation for when `NO_THREADS` is defined.
- Similarly to `Mutex`, methods are made `const` for easy use in such contexts.
- Language bindings updated: `wait()` and `post()` are now `void`.
- Language bindings updated: `try_wait()` added.
Bonus:
- Rewritten the `#ifdef` in `mutex.h` to meet the code style.
It's now available and allows us to have a better default environment,
with GCC 7.4.0 and Clang 7.
We now need GCC 7+ for C++17 support so it's more efficient to upgrade
the image than to install it on Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial).
Also fixes a couple -Wdeprecated-declarations warnings on macOS now
that we build against macOS 10.12.
As per #36436, we now need C++17's guaranteed copy elision feature to
solve ambiguities in Variant.
Core developers discussed the idea to move from C++14 to C++17 as our
minimum required C++ standard, and all agreed. Note that this doesn't
mean that Godot is going to be written in "modern C++", but we'll use
modern features where they make sense to simplify our "C with classes"
codebase. Apart from new code written recently, most of the codebase
still has to be ported to use newer features where relevant.
Proper support for C++17 means that we need recent compiler versions:
- GCC 7+
- Clang 6+
- VS 2017 15.7+
Additionally, C++17's `std::shared_mutex` (conditionally used by
`vk_mem_alloc.h` when C++17 support is enabled) is only available in
macOS 10.12+, so we increase our minimum supported version.
It was initially implemented in #5871 for Godot 3.0, but never really
completed or thoroughly tested for most platforms. It then stayed in
limbo and nobody seems really keen to finish it, so it's better to
remove it in 4.0, and re-add eventually (possibly with a different API)
if there's demand and an implementation confirmed working on all
platforms.
Closes#8770.
Due to the port to Vulkan and complete redesign of the rendering backend,
the `drivers/gles3` code is no longer usable in this state and is not
planned to be ported to the new architecture.
The GLES2 backend is kept (while still disabled and non-working) as it
will eventually be ported to serve as the low-end renderer for Godot 4.0.
Some GLES3 features might be selectively ported to the updated GLES2
backend if there's a need for them, and extensions we can use for that.
So long, OpenGL driver bugs!
- Renamed option to `builtin_vulkan`, since that's the name of the
library and if we were to add new components, we'd likely use that
same option.
- Merge `vulkan_loader/SCsub` in `vulkan/SCsub`.
- Accordingly, don't use built-in Vulkan headers when not building
against the built-in loader library.
- Drop Vulkan registry which we don't appear to need currently.
- Style and permission fixes.
-Texture renamed to Texture2D
-TextureLayered as base now inherits 2Darray, cubemap and cubemap array
-Removed all references to flags in textures (they will go in the shader)
-Texture3D gone for now (will come back later done properly)
-Create base rasterizer for RenderDevice, RasterizerRD
I'm barely scratching the surface of the changes needed to make the
--export command line interface easy to use, but this should already
improve things somewhat.
- Streamline `can_export()` templates check in all platforms, checking
first for the presence of official templates, then of any defined
custom template, and reporting on the absence of any.
Shouldn't change the actual return value much which is still true if
either release or debug is usable - we might want to change that
eventually and better validate against the requested target.
- Fix discrepancy between platforms using `custom_package/debug` and
`custom_template/debug` (resp. `release`).
All now use `custom_template`, which will break compatibility for
`export_presets.cfg` with earlier projects (but is easy to fix).
- Use `can_export()` when attempting a command line export and report
the same errors that would be shown in the editor.
- Improve error reporting after a failed export attempt, handling
missing template and invalid path more gracefully.
- Cleanup of unused stuff in EditorNode around the export workflow.
- Improve --export documentation in --help a bit.
Fixes#16949 (at least many of the misunderstandings listed there).
Fixes#18470.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
This makes it possible to know whether the window is focused
at a given time, without having to track the focus state manually
using `NOTIFICATION_WM_FOCUS_IN` and `NOTIFICATION_WM_FOCUS_OUT`.
This partially addresses #33928.
So far we left most temporary files lying around, so this attempts to
fix that.
I added a helper method to DirAccess to factor out the boilerplate of
creating a DirAccess, checking if the file exists, remove it or print
an error on failure.
It's the recommended way to set those, and is more portable
(automatically prepends -D for GCC/Clang and /D for MSVC).
We still use CPPFLAGS for some pre-processor flags which are not
defines.
This is a new singleton where camera sources such as webcams or cameras on a mobile phone can register themselves with the Server.
Other parts of Godot can interact with this to obtain images from the camera as textures.
This work includes additions to the Visual Server to use this functionality to present the camera image in the background. This is specifically targetted at AR applications.
In x11, windows and osx crash handlers, check project settings exists
before looking up the crash handler message setting.
Avoids crashing the crash handler when handling a crash outside project
settings lifetime. Instead omitting the configurable message and
continuing with trace dump.
Include paths are processed from left to right, so we use Prepend to
ensure that paths to bundled thirdparty files will have precedence over
system paths (e.g. `/usr/include` should have lowest priority).
Many contributors (me included) did not fully understand what CCFLAGS,
CXXFLAGS and CPPFLAGS refer to exactly, and were thus not using them
in the way they are intended to be.
As per the SCons manual: https://www.scons.org/doc/HTML/scons-user/apa.html
- CCFLAGS: General options that are passed to the C and C++ compilers.
- CFLAGS: General options that are passed to the C compiler (C only;
not C++).
- CXXFLAGS: General options that are passed to the C++ compiler. By
default, this includes the value of $CCFLAGS, so that setting
$CCFLAGS affects both C and C++ compilation.
- CPPFLAGS: User-specified C preprocessor options. These will be
included in any command that uses the C preprocessor, including not
just compilation of C and C++ source files [...], but also [...]
Fortran [...] and [...] assembly language source file[s].
TL;DR: Compiler options go to CCFLAGS, unless they must be restricted
to either C (CFLAGS) or C++ (CXXFLAGS). Preprocessor defines go to
CPPFLAGS.
GLES2 is not designed to be a drop-in replacement for the GLES3 backend,
so the fallback mode has to be used knowingly. It *can* make sense for
simple projects which make sure to handle the differences between both
rendering backends, but most users should stick to one supported backend.
By making it opt-in, we can now use this parameter to define whether to
export ETC textures to Android and iOS when using GLES3 + Fallback.
When using GLES3 without Fallback on Android, set the proper min GLES
version in the AndroidManifest.
Also made the option boolean and renamed it for clarity and to avoid
conflict with the previous String option (which would always evaluate as
"true" otherwise).
Fixes#26569.
Also drop some unused files.
Renamed:
- `platform/iphone/sem_iphone.h` -> `semaphore_iphone.h`
(same for `osx`)
- `platform/uwp/gl_context_egl.h` -> `context_egl_uwp.h`
- in `platform/windows`: `context_gl_win.h`, `crash_handler_win.h`,
`godot_win.cpp`, `joypad.h` and `key_mapping_win.h` all renamed to
use `windows`. Some classes renamed accordingly too.
- `EditorExportAndroid` and `EditorExportUWP` renamed to
`EditorExportPlatformAndroid` and `EditorExportPlatformUWP`
- `power_android` and `power_osx` renamed to `PowerAndroid` and
`PowerOSX`
- `OSUWP` renamed to `OS_UWP`
Dropped:
- `platform/windows/ctxgl_procaddr.h`
Godot supports many different compilers and for production releases we
have to support 3 currently: GCC8, Clang6, and MSVC2017. These compilers
all do slightly different things with -ffast-math and it is causing
issues now. See #24841, #24540, #10758, #10070. And probably other
complaints about physics differences between release and release_debug
builds.
I've done some performance comparisons on Linux x86_64. All tests are
ran 20 times.

I have also looked at FPS numbers for tps-demo, 3d platformer, 2d
platformer, and sponza and could not find any measurable difference.
I believe that given the issues and oft-reported (physics) glitches on
release builds I believe that the couple of percent of tight-loop
floating point performance regression is well worth it.
This fixes#24540 and fixes#24841
Contrarily to what #23434 assumed, this is not a memory leak,
the VisualServerRaster instance is passed as a parameter to
VisualServerWrapMT's constructor.
Fixes#23437.
Also finally move freetype to its own env and disable warnings for it.
Still needs some work to fix the awkward situation of the freetype and
svg modules used in scene/ and editor/ respectively.

Some of those are bugs and need further work, they are identified with
`// FIXME` comments.
The two POSIX style crash handlers (OSX and X11) now remove their signal
handlers when they are destroyed.
Additonally if they are called while no OS singleton is set, they will
simply abort(). This should not happen now that they remove themselves,
but if a future change seperates OS object and crash handler lifetimes,
this may be easier to report/debug than hanging on SIGSEGV.
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
Previously the compiler would use system headers located at
/System/Library/Frameworks, which could result in compilation failures
due to the headers not always being up-to-date in regards to the
latest installed macOS SDK headers that come with Xcode.
Fix the issue by passing the SDK path via the -isysroot option to the
compiler and linker invocations.
If no custom SDK path is given, the build system queries the SDK path
via xcrun --show-sdk-path, which returns something similar to
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/
Querying via xcrun is now also done for iphone (and simulator)
platforms as well.
Here is an example of a compilation failure message due to outdated
headers:
platform/osx/os_osx.mm:1421:41: error: use of undeclared identifier 'NSAppKitVersionNumber10_12'; did you mean 'NSAppKitVersionNumber'?
if (floor(NSAppKitVersionNumber) >= NSAppKitVersionNumber10_12) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NSAppKitVersionNumber
/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Headers/NSApplication.h:26:28: note: 'NSAppKitVersionNumber' declared here
This adds a static is_viable() method to all rasterizers which has to be
called before initializing the rasterizer. This allows us to check what
rasterizer to use in OS::initialize together with the GL context
initialization.
This commit also adds a new project setting
"rendering/quality/driver/driver_fallback" which allows the creator of a
project to specify whether or not fallback to GLES2 is allowed. This
setting is ignored for the editor so the editor will always open even if
the project itself cannot run. This will hopefully reduce confusion for
users downloading projects from the internet.
We also no longer crash when GLES3 is not functioning on a platform.
This fixes#15324
- Refactored all builder (make_*) functions into separate Python modules along to the build tree
- Introduced utility function to wrap all invocations on Windows, but does not change it elsewhere
- Introduced stub to use the builders module as a stand alone script and invoke a selected function
There is a problem with file handles related to writing generated content (*.gen.h and *.gen.cpp)
on Windows, which randomly causes a SHARING VIOLATION error to the compiler resulting in flaky
builds. Running all such content generators in a new subprocess instead of directly inside the
build script works around the issue.
Yes, I tried the multiprocessing module. It did not work due to conflict with SCons on cPickle.
Suggested workaround did not fully work either.
Using the run_in_subprocess wrapper on osx and x11 platforms as well for consistency. In case of
running a cross-compilation on Windows they would still be used, but likely it will not happen
in practice. What counts is that the build itself is running on which platform, not the target
platform.
Some generated files are written directly in an SConstruct or SCsub file, before the parallel build starts. They don't need to be written in a subprocess, apparently, so I left them as is.
This commit makes operator[] on Vector const and adds a write proxy to it. From
now on writes to Vectors need to happen through the .write proxy. So for
instance:
Vector<int> vec;
vec.push_back(10);
std::cout << vec[0] << std::endl;
vec.write[0] = 20;
Failing to use the .write proxy will cause a compilation error.
In addition COWable datatypes can now embed a CowData pointer to their data.
This means that String, CharString, and VMap no longer use or derive from
Vector.
_ALWAYS_INLINE_ and _FORCE_INLINE_ are now equivalent for debug and non-debug
builds. This is a lot faster for Vector in the editor and while running tests.
The reason why this difference used to exist is because force-inlined methods
used to give a bad debugging experience. After extensive testing with modern
compilers this is no longer the case.
-Project/Editor settings now show tooltips properly
-Settings thar require restart now will show a restart warning
-Video driver is now visible all the time, can be changed easily
-Added function to request current video driver
