- fixed: The tree nodes for classes and struct members were stored in the global tree nodes table.
- sort variable declarations into their own list for processing.
This uses a different algorithm as the old implementation - instead of recursively resolving unknown symbols it will first collect all constants from all scopes and then process them in one operation, doing multiple passes over the list until no more constants can be resolved anymore.
- fixed class creation. There was an infinite loop and some missing checks for native classes.
- do not write the compiler's symbols to the same symbol table as the output. The output must go to GlobalSymbols but the internal symbols must go to a namespace specific table that can be discarded after compilation.
This is the first thing the compiler has to do to get access to the class's symbol table. Of course at this point the final size of a class is not known yet so these are currently all treated as tentative.
- place generated symbols into GlobalSymbols instead of a scratch table that will be discarded right away.
- allow the state object to change source file scanners (I hope this works, but the old implementation was unable to do more than one with with a parse state so I had to change it.)
- It can now parse constants.txt and insert everything in it into the global symbol table and make subsequent DECORATE compile properly.
Instead of replacing the original, the second class will get renamed now, using the originating file as an identifier. In the vast majority of cases this should do exactly what is needed: Create an unconflicting second class that can coexist with the original. Unless the class is used by name this should eliminate all problems with this, but so far I haven't seen anything that used them by name.
This is choosing the lesser of two evils. While some mod out there may get broken, the old setup meant that the first class of a given name could not be written out to a savegame because it was not retrievable when loading it back.
Ultimately we may have to get a fully qualified name out of this, so Outer should be a type that can handle this feature. The new class for this is currently used as base for PType and PSymbol so that PNamedType inherits from it and maybe later a namespace symbol can, too.
There have been reports about crashes in here with Linux that point to some of the code that gets called here doing unwanted things on the owner, so with these links cleared that should no longer be possible.
- This was fine with fixed point numbers, since they could never be
outside of short range when converted to regular ints. With floating
point numbers now, that condition no longer holds.
- allow recursive linking of $random definitions (as long as they do not link back, see above.)
- fixed the sound precaching which did not handle $alias inside $random. Normally this went undetected but in cases where the random sound index was the same as a sound index in the current link chain this could hang the function.
