Extra:
- Optimized the debug-only check about why the object is null to determine if it's because it has been deleted (the RC is enough; no need to check the ObjectDB).
- Because of the previous point. the debugger being attached is not required anymore for giving the "Object was deleted" error; from now, it only matters that it's a debug build.
- `is_instance_valid()` is now trustworthy. It will return `true` if, and only if, the last object assigned to a `Variant` is still alive (and not if a new object happened to be created at the same memory address of the old one).
- Replacements of `instance_validate()` are used where possible `Variant::is_invalid_object()` is introduced to help with that. (GDScript's `is_instance_valid()` is good.)
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 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
This moves the instance id member from Variant to the ObjectRC so that Variant is still the same size as before the fix (and also regardless if debug or release build).
This commit addresses multiple issues with `Variant`s that point to an `Object`
which is later released, when it's tried to be accessed again.
Formerly, **while running on the debugger the system would check if the instance id was
still valid** to print warnings or return special values. Some cases weren't being
warned about whatsoever.
Also, a newly allocated `Object` could happen to be allocated at the same memory
address of an old one, making cases of use hard to find and having **`Variant`s pointing
to the old one magically reassigned to the new**.
This commit makes the engine realize all these situations **under debugging**
so you can detect and fix them. Running without a debugger attached will still
behave as it always did.
Also the warning messages have been extended and made clearer.
All that said, in the name of performance there's still one possible case of undefined
behavior: in multithreaded scripts there would be a race condition between a thread freeing
an `Object` and another one trying to operate on it. The latter may not realize the
`Object` has been freed soon enough. But that's a case of bad scripting that was never
supported anyway.
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.
Condensed some if and ERR statements. Added dots to end of error messages
Couldn't figure out EXPLAINC. These files gave me trouble: core/error_macros.h, core/io/file_access_buffered_fa.h (where is it?),
core/os/memory.cpp,
drivers/png/png_driver_common.cpp,
drivers/xaudio2/audio_driver_xaudio2.cpp (where is it?)
For clarity, assign-to-release idiom for PoolVector::Read/Write
replaced with a function call.
Existing uses replaced (or removed if already handled by scope)
solves #26796
- ADD `String to_string()` method to Object which can be overriden by `String _to_string()` in scripts
- ADD `String to_string(r_valid)` method to ScriptInstance to allow langauges to control how scripted objects are converted to strings
- IMPLEMENT to_string for GDScriptInstance, VisualScriptInstance, and NativeScriptInstance
- ADD Documentation about `Object.to_string` and `Object._to_string`
- Changed `Variant::operator String` to use `obj->to_string()`
When adding an Array or Dictionary to itself operator String() got in an
infinite loop. This commit adds a stack to operator String() (Through
the use of a new 'stringify method'). This stack keeps track of all
unique Arrays and Dictionaries it has seen. When a duplicate is found
only a static string is printed '[...]' or '{...}'.
This mirror Python's behavior in a similar case.
It seems to stay compatible with formatting done by clang-format 6.0 and 7.0,
so contributors can keep using those versions for now (they will not undo those
changes).
This allows most demos to run without any ubsan or asan errors. There
are still some things in thirdpart/ and some things in AudioServer that
needs a look but this fixes a lot of issues. This should help debug less
obvious issues, hopefully.
This fixes#25217 and fixes#25218
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.
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.
I had a situation coming from godot-python where the caller of
Variant::get_call_error_text() passed null for `p_argptrs`. In
addition to fixing that in the caller, seems like good practice to
defend against that situation in the callee to prevent a crash.
So this patch just substitutes some semi-useful text for the source
type name and keeps going so the user's actual error gets emitted.
Using `misc/scripts/fix_headers.py` on all Godot files.
Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
