- Renames PackedIntArray to PackedInt32Array.
- Renames PackedFloatArray to PackedFloat32Array.
- Adds PackedInt64Array and PackedFloat64Array.
- Renames Variant::REAL to Variant::FLOAT for consistency.
Packed arrays are for storing large amount of data and creating stuff like
meshes, buffers. textures, etc. Forcing them to be 64 is a huge waste of
memory. That said, many users requested the ability to have 64 bits packed
arrays for their games, so this is just an optional added type.
For Variant, the float datatype is always 64 bits, and exposed as `float`.
We still have `real_t` which is the datatype that can change from 32 to 64
bits depending on a compile flag (not entirely working right now, but that's
the idea). It affects math related datatypes and code only.
Neither Variant nor PackedArray make use of real_t, which is only intended
for math precision, so the term is removed from there to keep only float.
Was missed in #36393 because no `callable_mp()` calls were actually
compiled with `tools=no` in that PR.
Also work around GCC warning that also affects the
`call_with_variant_args_ret_helper` variant.
Arrays inside of Variant are unique and use reference counting.
When you assign a variant containing a packed array to another, or
when you call non const functions to arrays, this will work even
if the array is inside a dictionary, so they will from now pass
as reference.
The difference with regular variant arrays is that, once passed
to a function in the C++ API, they are no longer shared. This is
required for security and thread safety, as those arrays are
mainly used to pass data back and forth even between threads.
This attribute is now part of the standard we target so we no longer
need compiler-specific hacks.
Also enables -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang now that we can properly
support it. It's already on by default for GCC's -Wextra.
Fixes new warnings raised by Clang's -Wimplicit-fallthrough.
WARNING: Requires C++17 'guaranteed copy elision' to fix ambiguous
operator problems in Variant.
This was added for this commit (and future C++17 uses) in #36457.
Xcode 10+ is needed for exhaustive C++17 support (gnu++17).
11.3 is the latest available version on Travis, and we don't have a
specific reason not to use it.
Follow-up to #36457.
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.
