* Added explicit return type to the SNAME macro.
* Add some extra SNAME usages.
* Change some ClassDB methods to use const StringName & arguments.
* Cache the Window parent in Control because it's used in
is_layout_rtl(), which is called often.
* Only enable internal processing for viewports that need it.
* Change CanvasItem::group to be a StringName because it's only used as
that.
- Move the "sync" property for RPCs to RPCConfig.
- Unify GDScript annotations into a single one:
- `@rpc(master)` # default
- `@rpc(puppet)`
- `@rpc(any)` # former `@remote`
- Implement three additional `@rpc` options:
- The second parameter is the "sync" option (which also calls the
function locally when RPCing). One of "sync", "nosync".
- The third parameter is the transfer mode (reliable, unreliable,
ordered).
- The third parameter is the channel (unused for now).
* Added a new macro SNAME() that constructs and caches a local stringname.
* Subsequent usages use the cached version.
* Since these use a global static variable, a second refcounter of static usages need to be kept for cleanup time.
* Replaced all theme usages by this new macro.
* Replace all signal emission usages by this new macro.
* Replace all call_deferred usages by this new macro.
This is part of ongoing work to optimize GUI and the editor.
* This PR adds the ability to disable classes when building.
* For now it's only possible to do this via command like:
`scons disable_classes=RayCast2D,Area3D`
* Eventually, a proper UI will be implemented to create a build config file to do this at large scale, as well as detect what is used in the project.
This PR implements range iterators in the base containers (Vector, Map, List, Pair Set).
Given several of these data structures will be replaced by more efficient versions, having a common iterator API will make this simpler.
Iterating can be done as follows (examples):
```C++
//Vector<String>
for(const String& I: vector) {
}
//List<String>
for(const String& I: list) {
}
//Map<String,int>
for(const KeyValue<String,int>&I : map) {
print_line("key: "+I.key+" value: "+itos(I.value));
}
//if intending to write the elements, reference can be used
//Map<String,int>
for(KeyValue<String,int>& I: map) {
I.value = 25;
//this will fail because key is always const
//I.key = "hello"
}
```
The containers are (for now) not STL compatible, since this would mean changing how they work internally (STL uses a special head/tail allocation for end(), while Godot Map/Set/List do not).
The idea is to change the Godot versions to be more compatible with STL, but this will happen after conversion to new iterators have taken place.
* The harcoded 8 slots are no more and impose limits in the new extension system.
* New system is limitless, although it will impose small performance hit with a mutex.
* Use a token to request the instance binding.
**Warning**: Mono will most likely break as a result of this, will need to be modified to use the new system.
* Lua table syntax uses named indexing: `{ mykey = myvalue }`
* Python style syntax uses string indexing: `{ "mykey" : myvalue }`
* Both are incompatible since a StringName key wont fetch a String key, hence confusing.
* This PR proposes always using String for indexing at a very minimal performance cost. Always indexing with StringNames will be faster, but they are considerably more expensive to create.
