By default. Conversion of quake strings needs to be requested (which is
done by nq and qw clients and servers, as well as qfprogs via an
option). I got tired of seeing mangled source code in the disassembly.
Most were pretty easy and fairly logical, but gib's regex was a bit of a
pain until I figured out the real problem was the conditional
assignments.
However, libs/gamecode/test/test-conv4 fails when optimizing due to gcc
using vcvttps2dq (which is nice, actually) for vector forms, but not the
single equivalent other times. I haven't decided what to do with the
test (I might abandon it as it does seem to be UD).
And make Sys_MaskPrintf take the developer enum rather than just a raw
int.
It was actually getting some nasty hunk corruption errors when under
memory pressure that made it clear the sound system needs some work.
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.
QF currently uses unique file names for screenshots and server-side
demos (and remote snapshots), but they're generally useful.
QFS_NextFilename has been filling this role, but it is highly insecure
in its current implementation. This is the first step to taking care of
that.
This reduces the overhead needed to manage the memory blocks as the
blocks are guaranteed to be page-aligned. Also, the superblock is now
alllocated from within one of the memory blocks it manages. While this
does slightly reduce the available cachelines within the first block (by
one or two depending on 32 vs 64 bit pointers), it removes the need for
an extra memory allocation (probably via malloc) for the superblock.
The uptime display had not been updated for the offset Sys_DoubleTime,
so add Sys_DoubleTimeBase to make it easy to use Sys_DoubleTime as
uptime.
Line up the layout of the client list was not consistent for drop and
qport.
Sys_LongTime returns time in microseconds as a 64-bit int. Sys_DoubleTime
uses Sys_LongTime, converts to double and offsets 0 time by 4G (2**32).
This gives us consistent sub-microsecond precision for a very long time.
