It was a right cow to get working at all due to the tangled mess of
dependencies between different hierarchies (switching to hierarchies as
components helpt), but other that some vertical positioning (paragraphs
and descenders), it's working fairly well now (and fairly quick other
than I think I need to ensure the shaping cache is used).
The main goal of this change was to make it easier to tell when a
hierarchy has been deleted, but as a side benefit, it got rid of the use
of PR_RESMAP. Also, it's easy to track the number of hierarchies.
Unfortunately, it showed how brittle the component side of the ECS is
(scene and canvas registries assumed their components were the first (no
long the case), thus the sweeping changes).
Centerprint doesn't work (but it hasn't for a while).
Rather than creating and destroying one every call. Didn't make any real
difference to the memory leaks, but it should make the calls
fractionally faster and reduce fragmentation.
This is for scroll boxes (the nesting of canvases is for the clipping
they provide). There are some issues with automatic layout, but this
gets things mostly working, in particular the management of the link
between hierarchies as a canvas is always the root of its hierarchy.
Mostly just macro conflicts (and a little white space in passing).
Commits for integrating tracy will come later when I've come up with a
wrapper-api that I like (so non-tracy builds are easy even with tracy
available).
Reloading progs (or shutting down) needs to clean up the buttons
otherwise the input system will have issues when it cleans up because
the buttons and axes have ceased to exist.
sincos is just a wrapper around the GNU libc sincos. sincosh is the
equivalent for sinh and cosh, but there doesn't seem to be any such
function, so it's just the two wrapped. They both return their results
in a vec2/vec2d as (sih[h], cos[h]).
The same underlying mechanism is used for both simple text strings and
passages, but without the intervening hierarchy of paragraphs etc.
Results in only the one view for a simple text string.
Wrap the strtod, strtof, strtol, strtoul functions, supporting the end
pointer as well (if not nil, the int offset of the end pointer relative
to the string start is returned).
Also, str_unmutable creates a return string from a mutable string
(copying it).
Meaning some leaks have been plugged, and some useful functions added:
loading a file (avoids polluting progs memory), setting the single
character lexeme string, and getting the line number.
Segfaulting when trying to produce an error message doesn't help get the
message out. Sure, `obj_error (nil...)` is a bit of an abuse, but it
shouldn't segfault the engine.
Carrying on as if the missing font had been loaded leads to way too many
issues for it to be a good thing (not that that really needs to be
said). Fixes the segfaults in my test scene.
Requiring top-level {} or () for (usually) hand-written files is awkward
and even a little error prone, and certainly ugly at times. With this,
loaders that expect a particular format can specify the format a little
more directly.
Some of them, especially in rua_obj, were quite legitimate and even a
problem for thread-safety (rua_cmd is currently not thread-safe, but it
needs a lock, which I don't feel like doing at this stage).
It should have been this way all along, and it seems I thought they were
when I did rua_gui.c as it already freed its resource block, which would
have been a double free (oops). Fixes an invalid write when shutting
down progs in qwaq-cmd (relevant change not committed).
While "set" is a tad strong (there's just the one component for now), I
had missed the changes when adding ECS systems. Fixes the segfault at
the end of demo1 (ie, when any center text is printed).
Instead of creating new entities for the text views. This approximately
halves the number of entities required to display flowed text, but also
tests the ability to have an entity in multiple hierarchies (the goal of
the ECS component and system changes).
This means that the component id used for hierarchy references must be
passed to Hierarchy_New and Hierarchy_Copy, but does all an entity to
have more than one hierarchy, which is useful for canvases (hierarchies
of views) in the 3d world (the canvas root would have a 3d hierarchy
reference and a 2d (view) hierarchy reference).
This causes some problems with linking if libQFgui is linked with
libQFrenderer (which is necessary in the long run), but it seems
everything gets away with it for now (which, tbh, I don't like).
Font and text handling is very much part of user interface and at least
partially independent of rendering, but does fit it better with GUI than
genera UI (ie, both graphics and text mode), thus libQFgui as well as
libQFui are built in the ui directory.
The existing font related builtins have been moved into the ruamoko
client library.
Well, sort of: it's still really in the renderer, but now calling
R_AddEfrags automatically updates the visibility structure as necessary,
and deleting an entity cleans up the efrags automatically. I wanted this
over twenty years ago.
While the libraries are probably getting a little out of hand, the
separation into its own directory is probably a good thing as an ECS
should not be tied to scenes. This should make the ECS more generally
useful.
This puts the hierarchy (transform) reference, animation, visibility,
renderer, active, and old_origin data in separate components. There are
a few bugs (crashes on grenade explosions in gl/glsl/vulkan, immediately
in sw, reasons known, missing brush models in vulkan).
While quake doesn't really need an ECS, the direction I want to take QF
does, and it does seem to have improved memory bandwidth a little
(uncertain). However, there's a lot more work to go (especially fixing
the above bugs), but this seems to be a good start.
Hierarchies are now much closer to being more general in that they are
not tied to 3d transforms. This is a major step to moving the whole
entity/transform system into an ECS.
