It's still possible to use void pointers, and this is done in a couple of places for simplicity, but wherever possible, we have actual structs for things now. Additionally, in places where vtables are fiddled with, e.g. vtable hooks, we have actual struct definitions with vtable pointers so there's need for pointer-casting horror. 2025-04-07T20:31:32+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2025-04-07T20:31:32+00:00 urn:sha1:58b495650f7613cdebfe78fff9de2b99556f1998 They're legally unnecessary as far as I know, and kind of annoying to maintain on a long-term basis. This was done with the consent of all 3 other contributors, in case anyone was wondering. 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! 2023-08-26T23:46:09+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2023-08-20T15:20:03+00:00 urn:sha1:a1998f2f7ce4153d670e2e5cb5018366517cc1ca Nothing really works yet, but at least test.h and fastspin are fixed and some of the issues with RTTI and libdl and stuff are maybe kind of sorted, subject to more testing later. The main issue now seems to be the cvar interface not quite lining up and crashing pretty much immediately. That'll probably take a lot more debugging to figure out, which likely still won't be a priority for quite a while. 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. 2022-03-19T04:36:59+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2022-03-19T04:36:59+00:00 urn:sha1:e5cd34649c09a0a31cd27fc93efb7583de48b078 Sometimes, you just want to Unicode. 2021-11-20T03:18:08+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2021-11-20T03:10:50+00:00 urn:sha1:da6f343032cb01597dc7866e66f091adf3243a62 With code from Bill.
