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.
I don't know why they were ever signed (oversight at id and just
propagated?). Anyway, this resulted in "unsigned" spreading a bit, but
all to reasonable places.
This has been a long-held wishlist item, really, and I thought I might
as well take the opportunity to add the instructions. The double
versions of STATE require both the nextthink field and time global to be
double (but they're not resolved properly yet: marked with
"FIXME double time" comments).
Also, the frame number for double time state is integer rather than
float.
I wish I'd done it this way years ago (but maybe gcc 2.95 couldn't hack
the casts, I do know there were aliasing problems in the past). Anyway,
this makes operand access much more consistent for variable sized
operands (eg float vs double vs vec4), and is a big part of the new
instruction set implementation.
The server edict arrays are now stored outside of progs memory, only the
entity data itself (ie data accessible to progs via ent.fld) is stored in
progs memory. Many of the changes were due to code accessing edicts and
entity fields directly rather than through the provided macros.
integer constants and float function args/return values.
pr_comp.h:
o add the integer opcodes to pr_opcode_e
pr_edict.c:
o add "quaternion" and "integer" to type_name[]
o support quatnernion and integers types when printing values
o support the integer opcodes when bounds checking
pr_exec.c
o enable the integer opcodes
pr_opcode:
o add the integer opcodes to the opcode table
o logical operators all result in an integer rather than a value
expr.h:
o rename int_val to integer_val
qfcc.h:
o kill another magic number
expr.c:
o move the opcode to string conversion out of type_mismatch and into
get_op_string
o rename int_val to integer_val
o general integer type support.
o generate an internal comipiler error for null opcodes rather than
segging.
pr_imm.c:
o rename int_val to integer_val
o support integer constants, converting to float when needed.
pr_lex.c:
o magic number death and support quaternions and integers in type_size[]
qc-lex.l
o rename int_val to integer_val
o support quaternion and integer type keywords
qc-parse.y:
o rename int_val to integer_val
o use binary_expr instead of new_binary_expr for local initialized
variables
builtins.c:
o rename int_val to integer_val
o fix most (all?) of the INT related FIXMEs
defs.qc:
o use integer instead of float where it makes sense
main.c:
o read_result is now integer rather than float
main.qc:
o float -> integer where appropriate
o new test for int const to float arg
define PROG_ID_VERSION as 6 and redefine PROG_VERSION as 0x00fff001
(0.fff.001) for the new qc features.
pr_edict.c:
support version 6 and version 0.fff.001 progs
qfcc.h:
add version field to options_t
add min_version field to opcode_t
pr_opcode.c:
set the minumum version of each opcode (gee, that table is getting ugly)
filter out opcodes with too high a min_version when initializing the opcode
hash tables.
qfcc.c:
update help output.
accept --id to limit code generation to id compatable (ver 6) progs.
default progs generation to 0.fff.001
add OP_ADD_S. WARNING!!! this /will/ move.
progs.h:
add prototype for PR_PrintStatement
pr_edict.c:
add OP_ADD_S support in the progs checker
pr_exec.c:
implement OP_ADD_S
tools/qfcc/include/.gitignore:
add config.h.in
qfcc.h:
nuke PR_NameImmediate and change PR_ParseImmediate's prototype (see
pr_imm.c)
pr_comp.c:
add ADD_S, adjust for PR_ParseImmediate's prototype, make
PR_ParseExpression work with non-sequential opcodes (slow, will work on
that next). Fix up initialised global parsing.
pr_imm.c:
nuke PR_NameImmediate. didn't work well and wasn't such a good idea anyway.
PR_ParseImmediate now accepts a def_t * arg. if null, will allocate a
new global def, otherwise it will initialize the def passed in.
qwaq/main.c:
sports some debugging code (dumps info about the progs it's running)
qwaq/main.qc:
better ADD_S testing
quakeio.h -> vfile.h
More diff reduction between trunk and my VFS code. Also took the time to
put some headers in order and fix a few #include's pointed out by moving
things around a bit.
