Removed calls to String::chr() when appending characters to Strings in Expression, Resource, and VariantParser, to avoid creating temporary Strings for each character. Also updated the Resource case to resize String up front, since size is known.
This fixes UBSAN errors reported by running our testsuite, importing the
TPS demo, and running the TPS demo. I have tried, wherever possible, to
fix issues related to reported issues but not directly reported by UBSAN
because thse code paths just happened to not have been exercised in
these cases.
These fixes apply only to errors reported, and caused by, core/
The following things have been changed:
* Make sure there are no implicit sign changing casts in core.
* Explicitly type enums that are part of a public API such that users of
the API cannot pass in wrongly-sized values leading to potential stack
corruption.
* Ensure that memcpy is never called with invalid or null pointers as
this is undefined behavior, and when the engine is built with
optimizations turned on leads to memory corruption and hard to debug
crashes.
* Replace enum values only used as static values with constexpr static
const values instead. This has no runtime overhead. This makes it so
that the size of the enums is explicit.
* Make sure that nan and inf is handled consistently in String.
* Implement a _to_int template to ensure that all of the paths use the
same algorhithm, and correct the negative integer case.
* Changed the way the json serializer precision work, and added tests to
verify the new behavior. The behavior doesn't quite match master in
particulary for negative doubles as the original code tried to cast -inf
to an int. This then led to negative doubles losing all but one of
their decimal points when serializing. Behavior in GDScript remains
unchanged.
This allows to include script_instance.h directly in the
generated gdvirtual.gen.inc, and remove excessive includes
from the codebase.
This should also allow Resource to use GDVIRTUAL macros,
which wasn't possible previously due to a circular dependency.
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
It turns out some areas are independently moving / reading filepointers outside of the VariantParser, which can cause the readahead caching to get out of sync.
This PR makes the VariantParser readahead to be optional to allow for these use cases.
Implement built-in classes Vector4, Vector4i and Projection.
* Two versions of Vector4 (float and integer).
* A Projection class, which is a 4x4 matrix specialized in projection types.
These types have been requested for a long time, but given they were very corner case they were not added before.
Because in Godot 4, reimplementing parts of the rendering engine is now possible, access to these types (heavily used by the rendering code) becomes a necessity.
**Q**: Why Projection and not Matrix4?
**A**: Godot does not use Matrix2, Matrix3, Matrix4x3, etc. naming convention because, within the engine, these types always have a *purpose*. As such, Godot names them: Transform2D, Transform3D or Basis. In this case, this 4x4 matrix is _always_ used as a _Projection_, hence the naming.
These typedefs don't save much typing compared to the full `Ref<Resource>`
and `Ref<RefCounted>`, yet they sometimes introduce confusion among
new contributors.
