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 means that the varargs functions themselves are now responsible for parsing them into DrawParms.
This was done because DrawTextV made a blanket assumption that every single vararg has the size of a 32 bit integer and caused crashes when anything else was passed. It also failed to eliminate any tag that is incompatible with text display. These will now abort DrawText and trigger an assert.
In order to avoid passing around tag lists, DrawTextV needs to parse everything itself and then pass a fully initialized structure to DrawTexture. This cannot be done if all variants require a varargs tag list.
Apparently the only reason for the old approach was the 'hw' parameter which was never used.
- replaced some uses of FRACUNIT with OPAQUE when it was about translucency.
- simplified some overly complicated translucency multiplications in the SBARINFO code.
- If palette index 255 happens to be white (e.g. as in Hexen), trying to
use white with DTA_FillColor would treat it as if you had never passed
it to DrawTexture().
- Clang's optional runtime array bounds checking doesn't understand when we
intentionally "overflow" by doing this:
RGB32k[0][0][colorval]
It will warn that it was accessed at an index will past the bounds
of type 'BYTE [32]', which makes it less than useful for catching real
array bounds overflows. So now do this:
RGB32k.All[colorval]
And if you want this:
RGB32k[r][g][b]
Now do this:
RGB32k.RGB[r][g][b]
- Fixed: When locating WhiteIndex and BlackIndex in the palette index 0 was skipped.
- Fixed: When filling an area black for vid_fps or pillarbox/letterbox use GPalette.BlackIndex instead of assuming palette index 0 is black.

onscreen. In addition, it now uses the whole height available to it. Also,
at lower resolutions, items on the compatibility options menu now cut off
the beginning of the option label rather than the option setting, making
this menu useable where previously it was not.

unsigned integer that can use all 32 bits. They must therefore use
the unsigned mul instruction rather than the signed imul instruction.
- Fixed several signed/unsigned comparison and possibly uninitialized
variable warnings flagged by GCC.

player sprites will retain the same precision they had when they were
rendered as part of the 3D view. (needed for propery alignment of flashes
on top of weapon sprites) It worked just fine for D3D, but software
rendering was another matter. I consequently did battle with imprecisions
in the whole masked texture drawing routines that had previously been
partially masked by only drawing on whole pixel boundaries. Particularly,
the tops of posts are calculated by multiplying by spryscale, and the
texture mapping coordinates are calculated by multiplying by dc_iscale
(where dc_iscale = 1 / spryscale). Since these are both 16.16 fixed point
values, there is a significant variance. For best results, the drawing
routines should only use one of these values, but that would mean
introducing division into the inner loop. If the division removed the
necessity for the fudge code in R_DrawMaskedColumn(), would it be worth it?
Or would the divide be slower than the fudging? Or would I be better off
doing it like Build and using transparent pixel checks instead, not
bothering with skipping transparent areas? For now, I chop off the
fractional part of the top coordinate for software drawing, since it was
the easiest thing to do (even if it wasn't the most correct thing to do).

which could cause crashes.
- Added custom special colormaps to DECORATE.
- Cleaned up special colormap code and removed lots of dependencies on the
knowledge of the tables' contents.

completely ignore them, either).
- Separated light level fixing out of player_t's fixedcolormap parameter.
Using a fixed light level (e.g. PowerTorch) will no longer wipe out
colored lighting.
- Moved the blending rectangle drawing into a separate discrete stage, since
doing it while copying the 3D view window to the display now blends
underneath the weapon instead of on top of it.
- Consolidated the special colormaps into a single 2D table.
- Tweaked the special colormaps slightly to make the true color results more
closely match the paletted approximations.
- fb_d3d9_shaders.h was getting unwieldy, so I moved the shaders out of the
executable and into zdoom.pk3. Shaders are still precompiled so I don't need
to pull in a dependancy on D3DX.
- Added a few more shaders to accomodate drawing weapons with all the in-game
lighting models. These are accessed with the new DrawTexture tags
DTA_SpecialColormap and DTA_ColormapStyle.
- Player weapon sprites are now drawn using Direct3D and receive all the
benefits thereof.

each one separately. This speeds up the compilation process by 25%

event which only has a 1 in 127 chance of being for a note that's playing

all the controllers as well.
- Increasing the size of the internal Timidity stream buffer from 1/14 sec
(copied from the OPL player) improved its sound dramatically, so apparently
Timidity has issues with short stream buffers. It's now at 1/2 sec in
length. However, there seems to be something weird going on with
corazonazul_ff6boss.mid near the beginning where it stops and immediately
restarts a guitar on the exact same note.
- Added a new sound debugging cvar: snd_drawoutput, which can show various
oscilloscopes and spectrums.
- Internal TiMidity now plays music.
- Changed the progdir global variable into an FString.

- Sbarinfo optimization: Creating and destroying bar textures every frame is
a relatively expensive operation. We can skip the custom texture entirely
and just draw the bars directly to the screen, using the clipping parameters
for DrawTexture(). This also means bars are no longer limited to the game
palette, and the bar itself has the same resolution as the screen.
