This should be dealt with at the source, not one level up, so that it also works properly if the GetReader function of the ResourceFile object is called directly and not through the resource manager.
The native byte order converters were defined as macros which hid some issues due to lack of type checks.
Additionally the ???Long variants taking 'long' variables were removed, because longs are not always 32 bits so this could be destructive.
As a result of this, removed several DWORDs from struct definitions in i_crash.cpp.
* initial positioning in a subsection of a file failed. This mainly affected music playback.
* made the FileRdr constructor which takes a FileReaderInterface private so that everything that needs it must be explicitly declared as friend.
* removed a few redundant construction initializers for FileRdrs.
* loading compressed nodes needs to check the validity of its reader.
* use GetLength to detemine the size of a Zip file instead of doing another seek to the end.
* removed duplicate Length variables.
Since this is a non-standard function it's better kept to as few places as possible, so now DirEntryExists returns an additional flag to say what type an entry is and is being used nearly everywhere where stat was used, excluding a few low level parts in the POSIX code.
This one was particularly nasty because Windows also defines a DWORD, but in Windows it is an unsigned long, not an unsigned int so changing types caused type conflicts and not all could be removed.
Those referring to the Windows type have to be kept, fortunately they are mostly in the Win32 directory, with a handful of exceptions elsewhere.
This should only be accepted if the subdirectory contains at least one identifiable game definition lump to avoid catching some patch mods with only a few files.
- converted sound and canvas texture serialization.
- refactored file_zip, so that it can be used to load loose zip files and extract their compressed data directly.
- added handling to FSerializer to generate and consume compressed Zip file entries.
If all goes well this will allow saving savegames as Zips when the rework is done, which will make analyzing them a lot easier.
The only reason this even existed was that ZDoom's original VC projects used __fastcall. The CMake generated project do not, they stick to __cdecl.
Since no performance gain can be seen by using __fastcall the best course of action is to just remove all traces of it from the source and forget that it ever existed.
This cuts down on as much message noise as possible, outputs everything to a file specified as a parameter and then quits immediately, allowing this to run from a batch that's supposed to check a larger list of files for errors.
Multiple outputs get appended if the file already exists.
As a result the old 'Group' property could be removed and all other means to get a section name were disabled.
As an example, if the code gets 'doom.doom2.commercial' it will use the following sections in this order:
global.autoload
doom.autoload
doom.doom2.autoload
doom.doom2.commercial.autoload.
