For some files that had the Doom Source license attached but saw heavy external contributions over the years I added a special note to license all original ZDoom code under BSD.
This is to ensure that the Class pointer can be set right on creation. ZDoom had always depended on handling this lazily which poses some problems for the VM.
So now there is a variadic Create<classtype> function taking care of that, but to ensure that it gets used, direct access to the new operator has been blocked.
This also neccessitated making DArgs a regular object because they get created before the type system is up. Since the few uses of DArgs are easily controllable this wasn't a big issue.
- did a bit of optimization on the bots' decision making whether to pick up a health item or not.
- replaced TStaticArray with regular TArrays.
They had incomplete implementations preventing proper cleanup of the level loading code. It makes more sense to add the missing methods to the regular TArray and use that.
This also makes some changes to how the game nodes are used to avoid creating a copy: If the head node's pointer is stored in a separate variable, no code needs to check which of the two arrays gets used.
(Is there anyway to tone down GCC's warning level? It outputs too many false positives for potentially uninitialized variables in which the genuine errors get drowned.)
Both files can now be included independently without causing problems.
This also required moving some inline functions into separate files and splitting off the GC definitions from dobject.h to ensure that r_defs does not need to pull in any part of the object hierarchy.
- disabled the Build map loader after finding out that it has been completely broken and nonfunctional for a long time. Since this has no real value it will probably removed entirely in an upcoming commit.
If the calling code wants to recycle this it will have to pass a container variable to AActor::UnlinkFromWorld and AActor::LinkToWorld.
This was changed because keeping such data in a global variable is dangerous for a set of functions that can be called from a script.
Note that the scripted versions do not yet support saving of the touching_sectorlist.
That only leaves the Scale function which is still being used in a few places and which would create considerably worse code without assembly on 32 bit platforms. This is also far too primitive (2 or 3 assembly instructions) to claim any copyright on it, so I think m_fixed.h can now be considered free of Build-related issues. The deficated inline headers have been removed because that sole remaining function could be easily moved into m_fixed.h.
This was used in only 4 places, 3 of which could easily be replaced with a memset, and the fourth, in the Strife status bar, suffering from a pointless performance optimization, rendering the code unreadable - the code spent here per frame is utterly insignificant so clarity should win here.
- merged the FrontBlock searcher for the Bloodscourge into RoughMonsterSearch. This also fixes the bug that the searcher was not initialized properly for the MageBoss.
Interesting tidbit: The damage calculation in P_MinotaurSlam had been incorrect for the Heretic version since the friendly Hexen Dark Servant was added, but nobody ever noticed in 14 years...
- removed the bogus optional value from the first A_Jump argument. A quick test with an older ZDoom revealed that this was never working - and implementing it would make things a lot more complicated, especially error checking in the code generator.
- fixed: The check for insufficient parameters to a function call was missing.
