Syntax-wise I chose to make it as strict as possible to reduce the chance of errors: Virtual base functions must be declared with the 'virtual' keyword, and overrides in child classes with the 'override' keyword. This way any mismatch in parameters that otherwise would cause silent failure will outright produce a compile error.
- made 'DamageMultiply' an actor property and moved the initialization of ConversationRoot to the property handler for the compiler to get this stuff out of the type classes.
- consolidate default initialization into one function which performs all the required setup. The original implementation did this when adding the fields but that cannot work because at that time no defaults have been created yet.
- fixed: When deriving a class the child class's defaults also must initialize the copied parent fields with special initialization. This part was completely missing.
- removed DECORATE code for parsing native classes because it's no longer needed.
- Since the number of small allocations here is extremely high this will help a lot to prevent fragmentation and since most nodes are collected up front and this is done when no large resources are being loaded it won't cause heap spikes.
let Emit methods delete FxExpression arrays when they are done.
- For some reason the deletion process does not work 100%, there are always some nodes left behind and so far I haven't found them. This ensures that these arrays do not live any longer than needed.
- fixed: The state cast hack for DECORATE could not properly create state constants.
Instead they were passed to FxRuntimeStateIndex without resolving them to something constant. This adds proper handling of constant indices within that class.
* use the function build list instead of the function to pass the info. The function is permanent so not the best place for compile-time info.
* pass along the current state index which is needed to calculate the target state.
- made some tests about calling script code from native functions.
* scriptified A_SkullAttack to have something to test
* changed the A_SkullAttack call in A_PainShootSkull.
* use a macro to declare the function pointer. Using local static variable init directly results in hideous code for the need of being thread-safe (which, even if the engine was made multithreaded is not needed here.)
* Importsnt node here: Apparently passing an actor pointer to the VMValue constructor results in the void * version being called, not the DObject * version.
- Polygons will be clipped to bottomclip. If this is zero or below, they
will be clipped to the bottom of the screen instead. This keeps the
polygons from overwriting the status bar border for sofware 2D. The
hardware version ignores it, since it always draws the status bar border
every frame.
- fixed: The state index comparison against 0 was broken.
- fixed: Resolving codegen nodes must set the strictness flag per function so that ZSCRIPT and DECORATE are done properly.
- added an 'exact' parameter to FThinkerIterator's Next function. This is mainly for scripting which allows to do a lot more checks natively when running the iterator while looking for one specific class.
This bypasses a declaration in the script in favor of a simpler implementation. In order to work it is always necessary to have an offset table to map the variables to, but doing it fully on the native side only requires adding the type to the declaration.
- fixed: divisions wasted one register for each operation due to a double allocation.
- changed math operations to use less registers. There was a well-intended change to allocate the destination first, but the better approach is to first allocate the operands and free then before allocating the destination register.
- added support for global variables to the code generator - not the compiler, though. For the handful of entries this is needed for it may just as well be done manually. So far FLevelLocals level is the only one being exported.
- fixed: The VM disassembler truncated 64 bit pointers to 15 digits because the output buffer was too small.
- resolve entire FxSequences instead of aborting on the first failed entry. This allows to output all errors at once.
* Revert "Modify CMPJMP to produce more compact code (as far as VC++ is concerned, anyway)"
This reverts commit 6ff973a06b.
This modification did not work and broke the comparisons. Actually this had three problems:
* the asserts checked the wrong instruction
* the mask was not applied to regular comparisons.
* incrementing PC before testing does not work because 'test' references the PC.

Daedalus triggers this with a 0x85 character which in Windows CP 1252 is the ellipsis (...) The converter will assume ISO-8859-1, though, but cannot do anything with these characters because they map to the font being used here.
- These require manual detection and overriding of the scaling factors to
0, because a right shift of (32-0) bits wraps around to 0 and results in
no shift at all rather than leaving the register zeroed out.
- dc_destorg is normally set to the upper-left corner of the view window.
If there is a border, then this won't coincide with the upper-left
corner of the screen, and DCanvas::FillSimplePoly would merrily write off
the end of the screen buffer.
