- some optimization of access to OwnedStates in old DECORATE.
- consolidate all places that print a state name into a subfunction.
- allocate states from the ClassDataAllocator memory arena. States do not need to be freed separately from the rest of the static class data.
This reinstates the old FActorInfo as part of the meta data a class can have so that the class descriptor itself can be freed from any data not directly relevant for managing the class's type information.
This is an incredibly costly way to do a debug check as it infests the entire VM design from top to bottom. These tags are basically useless for anything else but validating object pointers being passed to native functions (i.e. mismatches between definition and declaration) and that simply does not justify a feature that costs execution time in non-debug builds and added memory overhead everywhere.
Note that this commit does not remove the tags, it only discontinues their use.
- decided to ditch the widget system I had started to lay out. As it turns out that would make things far more complicated and slower than they need to be.
This makes VMValue a real POD type with no hacky overloads and eliminates a lot of destructor code in all places that call a VM function. Due to the way this had to be handled, none of these destructors could be skipped because any value could have been a string.
This required some minor changes in functions that passed a temporary FString into the VM to ensure that the temporary object lives long enough to be handled. The code generator had already been changed to deal with this in a previous commit.
This is easily offset by the code savings and reduced maintenance needs elsewhere.
Note that the Strife status bar does not draw the health bars yet. I tried to replace the hacky custom texture with a single fill operation but had to find out that all the coordinate mangling for the status bar is being done deep in the video code. This needs to be fixed before this can be made to work.
Currently this is not usable in mods because they cannot initialize custom status bars yet.
It used the expression's value type, but needs to use the variable's, which can be different when the assignment is synthesized from a builtin function.
- keep string registers which are being used as function parameters allocated until after the function call returns. This is for allowing to pass strings by reference which would avoid some costly constructor/destructor loops in the call instruction.

- allow treatment as one-character string constants as character constants. This became necessary because name constants already use single quotes and are much harder to repurpose due to a higher degree of ambiguity.
- fixed: protected methods in structs were not usable.
This is only the parsing part, the arrays are not yet getting evaluated.
This required quite a hacky workaround because the gramma couldn't be made to accept the rule. The scanner will check if a 'static' token is immediately followed by a 'const' token and will combine both to a new 'staticconst' token that does not create conflicts with other rules.
This method was chosen because it avoids adding variable declarations to the global namespace which would have required a lot more work while polluting the grammar.
This way the global variables can be handled by a small bit of special coding in the struct generator.
Both files can now be included independently without causing problems.
This also required moving some inline functions into separate files and splitting off the GC definitions from dobject.h to ensure that r_defs does not need to pull in any part of the object hierarchy.
- block creation of actors with the 'new' instruction. Unlike the above these cannot be made abstract because without ConstructNative they cannot be serialized.
The code for constants was not optimal because the first operand of the instructions cannot be constant. This was solved by swapping it with the second choice which will always be non-constant.
The code for local variables did not allocate a new destination register and would overwrite the first parameter's variable.
It now uses a dedicated opcode instead of piggybacking on OP_CALL and it passes data that is closer to the VM. Symbols should be avoided at this level.
It also will skip the scope instruction if the code generator detects that both calling function and the self pointer type have the same scope, this assumes that subclasses cannot flip between UI and Play.
They are not needed for OP_NEW_K which can evaluate the class relations at compile time and for OP_NEW the calling function can also be checked at compile time, passing only the scope value itself.
Note that this completely disables the newly added keywords 'play' and 'ui' for unversioned code to allow using them as identifiers as I have found at least one mod that uses a variable named 'play' that would have been rendered broken otherwise.
This also disables many ZScript only keywords for other parsing jobs.
- made the self pointer of const functions readonly.
This seems to work fine. Both calling a non-const function and trying to assign a value to a member fail with an error message.
Clearscope is a dangerous context and should be limited to the minimum extent possible and preferably be blocked in user code.
This may still need some work on const functions but better have it in now.
This is to block modification of the planes directly. For future-proofness with renderer changes everything that alters these values should go through he function interface.
