Reasoning: ID is not an acronym, it is simply short for identification, so it logically should not be capitalized. But even if it was an acronym, other acronyms in Godot are not capitalized, like p_rid, p_ip, and p_json.
Include paths are processed from left to right, so we use Prepend to
ensure that paths to bundled thirdparty files will have precedence over
system paths (e.g. `/usr/include` should have lowest priority).
This is the same as #23542 (Fix binaries incorrectly detected as shared
libraries on some linux distros) but for Clang. It should be fine with
Clang 4 or higher.
This adds ThinLTO support when using Clang and the LLD Linker, it's
turned off by
default.
For now only support for Linux added as ThinLTO support on other
platforms may still be buggy.
Many contributors (me included) did not fully understand what CCFLAGS,
CXXFLAGS and CPPFLAGS refer to exactly, and were thus not using them
in the way they are intended to be.
As per the SCons manual: https://www.scons.org/doc/HTML/scons-user/apa.html
- CCFLAGS: General options that are passed to the C and C++ compilers.
- CFLAGS: General options that are passed to the C compiler (C only;
not C++).
- CXXFLAGS: General options that are passed to the C++ compiler. By
default, this includes the value of $CCFLAGS, so that setting
$CCFLAGS affects both C and C++ compilation.
- CPPFLAGS: User-specified C preprocessor options. These will be
included in any command that uses the C preprocessor, including not
just compilation of C and C++ source files [...], but also [...]
Fortran [...] and [...] assembly language source file[s].
TL;DR: Compiler options go to CCFLAGS, unless they must be restricted
to either C (CFLAGS) or C++ (CXXFLAGS). Preprocessor defines go to
CPPFLAGS.
On Windows, when "Language for non-Unicode programs" were set to "Japanese (Japan)", MSVC would by default use Shift JIS (code page 932) to interpret source files, which would result in test_string failing to compile because of characters in `test_34()`. Forcing utf-8 for MSVC fixes the issue
It seems to stay compatible with formatting done by clang-format 6.0 and 7.0,
so contributors can keep using those versions for now (they will not undo those
changes).
Added constructor and assignment operator for CharString
from const char* to simplify memory management when working with
utf8/ascii strings for APIs taking char*.
Reworked OS_X11::set_context to use CharString and avoid some manual
memory management.
When getting system directories for Windows, we currently use
SHGetFolderPathW. This is a deprecated function and doesn't support
"Downloads" folders.
As a replacement, this commit uses the newer SHGetKnownFolderPath
function, which is supported since Windows Vista. Godot 3.0 only
supports Windows 7+, so we don't need to use SHGetFolderPathW for
backwards compatibility.
Fixes#26876
