- added new VARF_Transient flag so that the decision whether to serialize a field does not depend solely on its native status. It may actually make a lot of sense to use the auto-serializer for native fields, too, as this would eliminate a lot of maintenance code.
- defined (u)int8/16 as aliases to the byte and short types (Can't we not just get rid of this naming convention already...?)
- exporting the fields of Actor revealed a few name clashes between them and some global types, so Actor.Sector was renamed to CurSector and Actor.Inventory was renamed to Actor.Inv.
- added a new type 'NativeStruct'. This will be used for types that cannot be instantiated, and is also needed to cleanly handle many internal types that only can exist as reference.
- 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: ZCCCompiler did not process array access nodes.
- fixed: Function argument names were not placed in the destination list by the compiler.
- scriptified several trivial functions from p_actionfunctions.cpp.
ZDoom only uses these types in a very few isolated places, and even those can be removed without problems, so it's very doubtful that having support for these types is of any benefit - on the other hand, having them will most likely introduce more code than is saved in the data by using them...
* Allow PFunction to work without a VMFunction being attached.
* The Variant for a function must store the prototype itself instead of relying on the VMFunction it points to. Otherwise it would not be possible to reference a prototype during compilation of the function because it does not exist yet.
* Give the variant a list of the function's argument's names, because these are also needed to compile the function.
* create an anonymous function symbol when the function gets registered to the builder. At this point we have all the needed information to set it up correctly, but later this is no longer the case. This is the most convenient info to have here because it contains everything that's needed to compile the function in the proper context, so it has to be present when starting compilation.
* added some preparations to implement special handling for weapons and custom inventory items, which can run action functions in another actor's context. This part is not active yet but the basics are present in SetImplicitArgs.
- use FScriptPosition's error counter throughout the compiler so that there is only one counter for everything, not two.
Parts of the compiler use FScriptPosition, so this is easier to handle than having a separate counter in the compiler class. It also avoids having to pass the compiler object to any function where an error may be output. The TreeNodes contain sufficient data to be converted to an FScriptPosition and using that for error message formatting.
- started with the AST converter. So far it only deals with direct function calls with simple constants as parameters.
- added an error condition for the defaults block to get rid of some asserts.
* everything related to scripting is now placed in a subdirectory 'scripting', which itself is separated into DECORATE, ZSCRIPT, the VM and code generation.
* a few items have been moved to different headers so that the DECORATE parser definitions can mostly be kept local. The only exception at the moment is the flags interface on which 3 source files depend.
