This is an extremely extensive patch as it hits every cvar, and every
usage of the cvars. Cvars no longer store the value they control,
instead, they use a cexpr value object to reference the value and
specify the value's type (currently, a null type is used for strings).
Non-string cvars are passed through cexpr, allowing expressions in the
cvars' settings. Also, cvars have returned to an enhanced version of the
original (id quake) registration scheme.
As a minor benefit, relevant code having direct access to the
cvar-controlled variables is probably a slight optimization as it
removed a pointer dereference, and the variables can be located for data
locality.
The static cvar descriptors are made private as an additional safety
layer, though there's nothing stopping external modification via
Cvar_FindVar (which is needed for adding listeners).
While not used yet (partly due to working out the design), cvars can
have a validation function.
Registering a cvar allows a primary listener (and its data) to be
specified: it will always be called first when the cvar is modified. The
combination of proper listeners and direct access to the controlled
variable greatly simplifies the more complex cvar interactions as much
less null checking is required, and there's no need for one cvar's
callback to call another's.
nq-x11 is known to work at least well enough for the demos. More testing
will come.
There's still some cleanup to do, but everything seems to be working
nicely: `make -j` works, `make distcheck` passes. There is probably
plenty of bitrot in the package directories (RPM, debian), though.
The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.
Most of the old Makefile.am files are now Makemodule.am. This should
allow for new Makefile.am files that allow local building (to be added
on an as-needed bases). The current remaining Makefile.am files are for
standalone sub-projects.a
The installable bins are currently built in the top-level build
directory. This may change if the clutter gets to be too much.
While this does make a noticeable difference in build times, the main
reason for the switch was to take care of the growing dependency issues:
now it's possible to build tools for code generation (eg, using qfcc and
ruamoko programs for code-gen).
cache the value.
don't call Qopen directly in the engine. instead call QFS_Open (generic) or
QFS_WOpen (write only, zip flag).
rework QFS_NextFilename to use a dstring (avoiding a potential buffer
overflow), support 10000 files and work from the top-level fs_userpath
directory. adjust QFS_WriteFile and QFS_WriteBuffers etc to suit.
make sw32 screenshots actually get written.
hopefully everything gets written to the right places :)
code cleanups and general performance work to be developed in relative peace.
While cleaning up the networking code /is/ important, fixing QF's perfomance
issues is of much higher priority.
net_svc.c, and add add a NET_SVC_GetString function to access it.
As an added bonus, it actually boundschecks it!
- preexpand that annoying SHOWNET macro, which was only used twice,
and was quite small and pointless
- whitespace cleanup and a comment typo fix
rather than a stdout hack (which had problems with buffering)
- actually parse net_deltapacketentities
- print offset within net_{,delta}packetentities blocks for each
entity
- fix indenting in Log_Delta
- fix off-by-one for packet offset printing
- fix a miss-parsing of svc_deltapacketentities
(MAX_PACKET_ENTITIES does NOT include U_REMOVE entities)
- remove "full update" handling for CL_ParseDeltaPacketEntities, since
that only happens with svc_packetentities
directly into the packet data.
- change a bunch of char *'s to const char *'s for the above. Only
thing that had trouble was the cl_nofake handler, which I changed to
use a local buffer.
- add MSG_ReadStaticString which acts like the old MSG_ReadString,
specifically that it uses a static buffer and tollerates
unterminated strings.
- add a Q_strnlen function, and make strnlen use it if strnlen is
undefined.
- Add a net_svc.h and net_svc.c which will preparse svc messages into
structs, for easier handling. Currently only soundlist and
modellist are done.
- rename pr_deadbeef to pr_deadbeef_ents
- add pr_deadbeef_locals, which does uninited locals. (crashes from
it are undeniably buggy code, unlike pr_deadeef_ents)
- add a missing break to packetlog printing's switch
- add sv_kickfake, which kicks people for attempting to fake messages,
or replaces the ^Ms with # if disabled.
