This was done with the consent of all 3 other contributors, in case anyone was wondering. 2025-04-06T15:41:13+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2025-03-10T02:37:19+00:00 urn:sha1:244fea664121acf12871ab5858a5fe95a2606b52 Also switch to somewhat proper C23 flags while we're at it. This is a huge change. It took me forever, in between being really busy. Sorry about that. But the good news is I'm now free to start integrating the various patches that have accumulated since last release. Well, at least in between still being really busy. Gotta manage expectations. The main benefit of introducing GAMESPECIFIC() is that features that don't apply to a particular game no longer show up *at all*, and less time is wasted on init. It also enables a cool optimisation wherein unnecessary REQUIRE_GAMEDATA() checks can elided at compile time whenever the gamedata is known up-front to always exist in supported games. The DEF_FEAT_CVAR macro family meanwhile makes it easier to manage the lifecycle of cvars/ccmds, with less manual registering, unhiding and such. Originally I was going to try and just hack these features into the existing codegen abomination, but it just got too terrible. This rewrite should make it easier to continue tweaking codegen behaviour in future. It also has slightly better error messages. 2024-08-23T19:37:37+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2024-08-03T22:40:31+00:00 urn:sha1:83da606072ce272eb053d4e1497d77e647cfecae My new programming style is branch hints. All non-confusing branches must be hinted when I can be bothered. It's faster, sometimes, maybe. Also, start trying to use more signed sizes in at least some of the places where it makes sense. Unsigned sizes are surprisingly error-prone! 2023-08-04T21:05:20+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2023-08-04T21:05:20+00:00 urn:sha1:4e2a66d9c2ba69499786e78053fc849fed7b0db2 Apparently there's slightly longer code for whatever reason which made 32 too conservative of a search window. Easy fix! 2023-06-10T16:01:56+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2023-06-10T16:01:56+00:00 urn:sha1:f84d44d2a9139f3c5b58d7875bc5ef0d94881008 There's absolutely no reason these ever wouldn't be there. 2023-06-10T15:51:02+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2023-06-10T15:44:19+00:00 urn:sha1:1c4318331663b152b0b298bd2c9e5c971506a86b 2023-05-16T22:00:24+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2023-05-16T21:12:57+00:00 urn:sha1:cba9387c361c3d33dcf1b21ff0e5beb4b0a81ade - Use const in more places where it makes sense - not absolutely everywhere because it can get a bit annoying - Make all the instruction search loops a bit more readable by casting the function pointer into a temporary variable to loop over - Add a few more doc comments and fix a typo or two - Make that RTTI thing flexibly-sized, finally - Don't include gamedata.h in vcall.h for no reason; consequently include gamedata.h in a bunch of places where it was implictly pulled in before - Fix dbg_toghidra() and ent_getedict() having mismatched return types between their headers and respective source files - Remove that one broken, hacky, secret Portal non-feature that probably nobody even ended up using; it can be implemented properly later if required 2022-09-13T21:50:30+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2022-09-13T20:46:21+00:00 urn:sha1:792463cb133f65645feb48743bbc03ef8eb96bdd Another big one. Here's a list of things: - Since the upcoming C23 standardises typeof(), use it as an extension for the time being in order to allow passing arbitrary types as macro/codegen parameters. It wouldn't have been a big leap to do this even without standardisation since it's apparently an easy extension to implement - and also, to be honest, this project is essentially glued to Clang anyway so who cares. - Likewise, bool, true and false are becoming pre-defined, so pre-pre-define them now in order to get the benefit of not having to remember one header everywhere. - Really ungodly/amazing vcall macro stuff now allows us to call C++ virtual functions like regular C functions. It's pretty cool! - Events can now take arbitrary parameters and come in two types: regular events and predicates. All this makes the base code even uglier but makes the feature implementation nicer. In other words, it places more of the cognitive burden on myself and less on other people who might want to contribute. This is a good tradeoff, because I'm a genius.
