By using an extern error handler in the script engine, we can mock that
handler and make sure something that should fail actually does, instead
of having to parse log messages.
If a local variable in a definition was set to a proplist inside the
Definition() callback, and that proplist contained cyclic references
then those references were leaked. Typically cyclic references for
script-created proplists are broken in
C4PropListScript::ClearScriptPropLists, however definition proplists
are changed to be static proplists in
C4PropList::FreezeAndMakeStaticRecursively.
To fix this, each script host maintains a list of proplists made static
by FreezeAndMakeStaticRecursively, and explicitly deletes all of these
proplists on Clear().
This leak also leads to an assertion failure inside
C4PropListScript::ClearScriptPropLists in debug mode, and can also be
observed by C4PropList::PropLists not being empty after game clear.
The definition in Objects.ocd/Helpers.ocd/UserAction.ocd constructs
cyclic proplists in its Definition() call. A simpler, more minimal way
to provoke the leak is the following (it provokes the leak but not the
assertion failure):
local bla;
func Definition(def)
{
bla = {};
bla.test = { Name="Test222" , Options = { Name="Test333" } };
bla.test.Options.Link = { Name="Test444", Blub=bla.test };
}
Also adjust editor props for the change:
1. enum needs to create a copy, not a reference for the default value of an option if it is defined inline
2. Always use proper GetName() resolution on property group names even if a static name would be available
Employ variadic template arguments and more rvalue references for this.
Sadly, StdParameterAdapt itself is even more complicated, since it has to
store the parameters instead of just forwarding them, so the limit is still
two parameters. But that's twice as much as before in many cases.
The C++ standard library comes with perfectly fine implementations of
these functions, so there's no point in reimplementing them just for the
hell of it.
The shapes library has such pointer chains. The leaks were getting pretty heavy because they included pointers to C4AulFuncs, which kept a lot of parts of the script engine and string tables in memory.
The desync was caused by PropList->GetProperties returning the properties in an arbitrary order. They are now sorted first.
The debug logs are left in place, because I assume that I will need them again and they prove to be helpful.
Example: this.EditCursorCommands = ["Explode(20)"] on an item will offer a menu entry to explode the object. Commands may be either strings or function pointers, but function pointers will always be called by name.
This is mostly to prevent crashes when prototypes are deleted.
Also change proplist savegame format to not include the constant flag - all
constant proplists are not stored in savegames anymore, but recreated from
the game data. Store the prototype at that position instead.
As discussed in http://forum.openclonk.org/topic_show.pl?tid=2917, I
have merged all copyright notices into a single file and referenced that
merged file from each source file.
For the updated source files, the timeline has been split into three
parts:
1. Pre-RWD code (before 2001)
2. RWD code (2001 through 2009)
3. OpenClonk code (2009 and later)
All pre-RWD copyright notices have been left intact, as have RWD-era
copyright notices where the file did not have a RedWolf design copyright
notice but only individual author ones. All copyright notices of the
OpenClonk era have been replaced by a single notice ranging from the
first recorded year to the current year (2013). Mape code did not get a
OpenClonk Team copyright notice because it is somewhat separate from the
main OpenClonk codebase and has only been touched by Armin Burgmeier.
Turns out changing prop list numbers while they are still indexed by number in the hash map was a bad idea. Existing prop lists are now de-numbered, pushed to an external shelve and re-numbered when added after section load.
