Just "loading" and "unloading" (both really just hints due to the
caching system), and an internal function for converting a handle to a
model pointer, but it let me test IQM loading and unloading in Vulkan.
The scene id is in the lower 32-bits for all objects (upper 32-bits are
0 for actual scene objects) and entity/transform ids are in the upper
32-bits. Saves having to pass around a second parameter in progs code.
pr_type_t now contains only the one "value" field, and all the access
macros now use their PACKED variant for base access, making access to
larger types more consistent with the smaller types.
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 meant to do this a while ago but forgot about it. Things are a bit of
a mess in that the renderer knows too much about entities, but
eventually the renderer will know about only things to render (meshes,
particles, etc).
I've run into a bit of an issue with transform management (really, just
need to make them owned by the scene, but that means creating a scene
for quake and quakeworld).
This is the bulk of the work for recording the resource pointer with
with builtin data. I don't know how much of a difference it makes for
most things, but it's probably pretty big for qwaq-curses due to the
very high number of calls to the curses builtins.
Closes#26
The zone memory block header is 64 bytes, so allocating a single 8 byte
selector is rather wasteful. Instead, allocate selectors in large chunks
(currently 64) and divvy them out as needed. Significantly reduces
memory pressure in large Ruamoko progs.
It's not enforced a this stage, and it would be easy enough to handle,
but it turns out all the standard quake and quakeworld progs never used
... for the print functions: the behavior of PF_VarString was
undocumented and so... tough :P.
It now takes the function name to print in error message (passed on to
PR_Sprintf) and the argument number of the format string. The variable
arguments (in ...) are assumed to be immediately after the format
argument.
This gets message forwarding apparently working, though something isn't
quite right as qwaq-app doesn't update properly when I try to step
through the program, but that could be an error elsewhere.
This takes care of the problems with PR_RESET_PARAMS (which has recently
become just a wrapper for PR_SetupParams) changing the stack and causing
PR_CallFunction to save the wrong stack pointer. Message forwarding is
currently broken for Ruamoko ISA progs, but that is due to not having a
valid pr_argc. However, I do have a plan involving extracting the
parameter count from the selector, but that's something for a later
commit. Everything else seems to be ok (my little game is working
nicely).
rua_obj was skipped because that looks to be a bit more work and should
be a separate commit.
This is to avoid the stack getting mangled when calling progs functions
with parameters.
I suppose having one builtin call another was a neat idea at the time,
and really could have been fixed by simply wrapping the calls with
push/pop frame, but this is probably faster.
obj_msg_sendv needs to push the parameters onto the stack for Ruamoko
progs, but this causes problems because PR_CallFunction winds up
recording the wrong stack pointer for progs functions, and nothing
restores the stack for builtins. The handling is basically the same as
for the return pointer.
pr_argc cannot be used in Ruamoko progs because nothing sets it. This
fixes the parse errors and resulting segfault when trying to parse the
Vulkan pipeline config.
Builtins that call progs with parameters now must always wrap the call
to PR_ExecuteProgram so that the data stack is properly preserved across
the call.
I need to do an audit of all the calls to PR_ExecuteProgram.
In Ruamoko ISA progs, the param pointers point to the stack and
generally must most be manipulated by builtins, and there is no need
anyway as Ruamoko doesn't have RCALL. Fixes the mangling of .super.
This is part of the work for #26 (Record resource pointer with builtin
function data). Currently, the data pointer gets as far as the
per-instance VM function table (I don't feel like tackling the job of
converting all the builtin functions tonight). All the builtin modules
that register a resources data block pass that block on to
PR_RegisterBuiltins.
This will make it possible for the engine to set up their parameter
pointers when running Ruamoko progs. At this stage, it doesn't matter
*too* much, except for varargs functions, because no builtin yet takes
anything larger than a float quaternion, but it will be critical when
double or long vec3 and vec4 values are passed.
And other related fields so integer is now int (and uinteger is uint). I
really don't know why I went with integer in the first place, but this
will make using macros easier for dealing with types.
They are both gone, and pr_pointer_t is now pr_ptr_t (pointer may be a
little clearer than ptr, but ptr is consistent with things like intptr,
and keeps the type name short).
This required delaying the setting of the return pointer by call until
after the current pointer had been saved, and thus passing the desired
pointer into PR_CallFunction (which does have some advantages for C
functions calling progs functions, but some dangers too (should ensure a
128 byte (32 word) buffer when calling untrusted code (which is any,
really)).
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.
The list of all allocated dispatch tables is used to free all the tables
when the progs are reloaded. Not clearing the list meant that the next
instance (second map change) corrupted the list.
With some hacks that are not included (plan on handling events and
contexts properly), button inputs, including using listeners, are
working nicely: my little game is working again. While the trampoline
code was a bit repetitive (and I do want to clean that up), connecting
button listeners directly to Ruamoko instance methods proved to be quite
nice.
