PR_SaveParams() is required for implementing the +initialize diversion
used by Objective-QuakeC because builtins do not have local def spaces
(of course, a normal stack calling convention would help). However, it
is entirely possible for a call to +initialize to trigger another call
to +initialize, thus the need for stacking parameter stashes. As a
bonus, this implementation cleans up some fields in progs_t.
I was originally going to put it in the debug syms file, but I realized
that the data persistence code would need access to both def type and
certainly correct def offsets for defs in far data.
This far better reflects the actual meaning. It is very likely that
ty_none is a holdover from long before there was full type encoding and
it meant that the union in qfcc's type_t had no data. This is still
true for basic types, but only if not a function, field or pointer type.
If the type was function, field or pointer, it was not true, so it was
misnamed pretty much from the start.
The engine now requires non-v6 progs to store the log2 alignment for the
param struct in .param_alignment.
PR_EnterFunction is clearer and possibly more efficient.
The encoding is 3:5 giving 3 bits for alignment (log2) and 5 bits for
size, with alignment in the 3 most significant bits. This keeps the
format backwards compatible as until doubles were added, all types were
aligned to 1 word which gets encoded as 0, and the size is unaffected.
Only as scalars, I still need to think about what to do for vectors and
quaternions due to param size issues. Also, doubles are not yet
guaranteed to be correctly aligned.
After messing with SIMD stuff for a little, I think I now understand why
the industry went with xyzw instead of the mathematical wxyz. Anyway, this
will make for less pain in the future (assuming I got everything).
I've decided that setting pr.max_edicts and pr.zone_size as part of the
local progs initialization rather than in PR_LoadProgsFile makes more
sense. For one, it is unlikely for the limits to change every time progs is
reloaded. Also, they seem to be a property of the VM rather than the progs.
However, there is nothing stopping the caller from updating max_edicts and
zone_size every call.
Also fix a bug where despite supporting 32 buttons, only 18 were actually
supported, and a similar issue for the number of axes.
My saitek x52 has 34 buttons and 10 axes. Whee.
