These are two C++ features that we don't need, don't use, and will never
use in the future. Apparently the best way of doing this in CMake is to
fiddle with the CXX_FLAGS using regex.
Now this is one less flag I need to supply myself when I invoke CMake...
This variable is not defined anywhere and never has been since the
source code release (which is when this CMake file was first created).
To make things clearer, I'm cleaning this variable up.
A function like add_definitions() adds definitions to ALL targets, not
just VVVVVV. This kind of namespace pollution is messy, and could result
in bugs if you pollute with the right kind of pollutant.
So instead of using add_definitions(), use target_compile_definitions().
And instead of using include_directories(), use
target_include_directories().
All the C third-party dependencies are C90, and all the C files we have
are also C90 (well, almost, but that's easily sorted). So we have
basically no reason to not go with C90 here.
The only wrinkle is, turning C extensions off for physfs-static results
in linker errors because PhysFS implicitly uses alloca() without
including it properly (on Linux). I am not the only one who has ran into
this - see https://icculus.org/pipermail/physfs/2020-April/001293.html -
and it's a bug with PhysFS. The workaround I've gone with is to enable C
extensions. (There might also be some funkiness with PhysFS's use of the
`inline` keyword, so enabling extensions will paper over that as well.)
It seems like CMake 3.1.3 introduced the C/C++ standard properties,
while the minimum version of this CMake file is 2.8.12. So we do what
FAudio does, which is print a warning if the CMake version is too old
and otherwise use it if we have the feature.
They're the same thing, but using option() better conveys intent.
However this can't be done for anything that isn't a bool, which the
CUSTOM_LEVEL_SUPPORT option is not (it's a tri-state string).
These were introduced in 098fb77611 - did
Leo not know that they were already there at the top of the file? This
does the same thing, except it only sets it for VVVVVV instead of
everything (so this wouldn't set it for the third-party dependencies).
Sometimes, there needs to be code that gets ran at the end of the game
loop, otherwise rendering issues might occur. Currently, we do this by
special-casing each deferred routine (e.g. shouldreturntoeditor), but it
would be better if we could generalize this deference instead.
Deferred callbacks can be added using the DEFER_CALLBACK macro. It takes
in one argument, which is the name of a function, and that function must
be a void function that takes in no arguments. Also, due to annoying C++
quirks, void functions taking no arguments cannot be attributes of
objects (because they have an implicit `this` parameter), so it's
recommended to create each callback separately before using the
DEFER_CALLBACK macro.
If you configure the build with -DBUNDLE_DEPENDENCIES=OFF, then VVVVVV
will dynamically link with TinyXML-2 and PhysicsFS instead of using the
bundled source code in third_party/ and statically linking with them.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like distros package LodePNG, and LodePNG
isn't intended to be packaged, so we can't dynamically link with it, nor
can we use some system LodePNG header files somewhere else because those
don't exist.
UTF8-CPP is a special case, because no matter what, it's going to be
statically linked with the binary (it doesn't come as a shared object
file in any way). So with -DBUNDLE_DEPENDENCIES=OFF, we will use the
system UTF8-CPP header files instead of the bundled ones, but it will
still be statically linked in with the binary.
The main motivation for doing this is so if VVVVVV ever gets packaged in
distros, distro maintainers would be more likely to accept it if there
was an option to compile the game without bundled dependencies. Also, it
discourages modifying the third-party dependencies we have, because it's
always possible for someone to compile those dependencies without our
changes, with this CMake option.
This fixes a segfault, because we would then pass compressed image data
to SDL_ConvertSurfaceFormat() in LoadImage(). I didn't test my previous
PR. Whoops.
Implicit conversion warnings happen all over the codebase, but there's
no reason to warn on all of them, and adding casts everywhere is
annoying to read and patently unnecessary.
MSVC is the only compiler that has this warning (GCC even on -Wall
-Wextra doesn't warn about implicit conversions), so disable it for
MSVC.
The only thing we need LodePNG for is to decode a PNG that we've already
loaded into memory. We handle the filesystem part ourselves, so we don't
need LodePNG's filesystem functions; we don't encode images, and we
don't use the zlib functions. So disable all of those.
During 2.3 development, there's been a gradual shift to using SDL stdlib
functions instead of libc functions, but there are still some libc
functions (or the same libc function but from the STL) in the code.
Well, this patch replaces all the rest of them in one fell swoop.
SDL's stdlib can replace most of these, but its SDL_min() and SDL_max()
are inadequate - they aren't really functions, they're more like macros
with a nasty penchant for double-evaluation. So I just made my own
VVV_min() and VVV_max() functions and placed them in Maths.h instead,
then replaced all the previous usages of min(), max(), std::min(),
std::max(), SDL_min(), and SDL_max() with VVV_min() and VVV_max().
Additionally, there's no SDL_isxdigit(), so I just implemented my own
VVV_isxdigit().
SDL has SDL_malloc() and SDL_free(), but they have some refcounting
built in to them, so in order to use them with LodePNG, I have to
replace the malloc() and free() that LodePNG uses. Which isn't too hard,
I did it in a new file called ThirdPartyDeps.c, and LodePNG is now
compiled with the LODEPNG_NO_COMPILE_ALLOCATORS definition.
Lastly, I also refactored the awful strcpy() and strcat() usages in
PLATFORM_migrateSaveData() to use SDL_snprintf() instead. I know save
migration is getting axed in 2.4, but it still bothers me to have
something like that in the codebase otherwise.
Without further ado, here is the full list of functions that the
codebase now uses:
- SDL_strlcpy() instead of strcpy()
- SDL_strlcat() instead of strcat()
- SDL_snprintf() instead of sprintf(), strcpy(), or strcat() (see above)
- VVV_min() instead of min(), std::min(), or SDL_min()
- VVV_max() instead of max(), std::max(), or SDL_max()
- VVV_isxdigit() instead of isxdigit()
- SDL_strcmp() instead of strcmp()
- SDL_strcasecmp() instead of strcasecmp() or Win32 strcmpi()
- SDL_strstr() instead of strstr()
- SDL_strlen() instead of strlen()
- SDL_sscanf() instead of sscanf()
- SDL_getenv() instead of getenv()
- SDL_malloc() instead of malloc() (replacing in LodePNG as well)
- SDL_free() instead of free() (replacing in LodePNG as well)
CI builds were added to this repository on the first day it was
released, and haven't really been touched since then. And since then,
2.3 has added NO_CUSTOM_LEVELS, NO_EDITOR, and OFFICIAL_BUILD builds to
the CMake file.
On top of the MAKEANDPLAY define already existing, this means CI
coverage is a bit sparse - covering compile failures for changes made to
most of the codebase, except for Steam and GOG, and not covering compile
failures if certain parts of the code get stripped out. And people do
forget to check for those configurations as well.
These mess of configurations is kind of a wake-up call to refactor and
generalize the code a bit, because we would probably be able to get rid
of at least two of these (Make & Play, and no-custom-levels) by making
it so custom levels behave indistinguishably from the main game. But,
that's something to do in 2.4. At the very least, we should cover these
in CI right now.
On a small note, I had to add a MAKEANDPLAY configure option to the
CMake file to be able to easily configure a Make & Play build from the
CI runner. This option shouldn't really be used otherwise, so I added a
note to it telling people to consider modifying MakeAndPlay.h instead.
The commit hash is now properly updated every time it gets changed, and
not just when CMake gets re-ran.
For this to work, we need to use a few CMake tricks. We add a custom
target with ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(), which is apparently always considered
out-of-date (but I had to add a BYPRODUCTS line to get it to actually
work), and we use the target to run a .cmake file every time we build.
Also, VVVVVV needs to depend on this custom target, to ensure that the
game gets built AFTER the version gets generated - otherwise there'll be
an error. So we do an ADD_DEPENDENCIES() after the ADD_EXECUTABLE() for
VVVVVV.
This file, version.cmake, is just the Version.h.out generation that I
added previously, but the important thing about all of this is that if
the contents of Version.h.out doesn't change, and thus if the commit
hash hasn't changed, then CMake will never recompile and relink anything
at all. (At least with the Ninja generator.)
On a small note, since the Version.h.out generation is now a separate
script that is guaranteed to get ran on every single build, while the
Git FIND_PACKAGE() gets ran only at configure time, it is possible for
the cached path of the Git executable to get out of date. Fixing this
requires a simple re-configure (ideally), but in case it wasn't fixed,
the INTERIM_COMMIT and COMMIT_DATE variables would get set to empty
strings instead of containing a value. To prevent this from happening,
I've removed ERROR_QUIET from the EXECUTE_PROCESS() calls in
version.cmake, because it's better to explicitly error if the Git
executable wasn't found than implicitly carry on like nothing happened.
The previous implementation of showing the commit hash on the title
screen used a preprocessor definition added at CMake time to pass the
hash and date. This was passed for every file compiled, so if the date
or hash changed, then every file would be recompiled. This is especially
annoying if you're working on the game and switching branches all the
time - the game has at least 50 source files to recompile!
To fix this, we'll switch to using a generated file, named
Version.h.out, that only gets included by the necessary files (which
there is only one of - Render.cpp). It will be autogenerated by CMake
(by using CONFIGURE_FILE(), which takes a templated file and does a
find-and-replace on it, not unlike C macros), and since there's only one
file that includes it, only one file will need to be recompiled when it
changes.
And also to prevent Version.h.out being a required file, it will only be
included if necessary (i.e. OFFICIAL_BUILD is off). Since the C
preprocessor can't ignore non-existing include files and will always
error on them, I wrapped the #include in an #ifdef VERSION_H_EXISTS, and
CMake will add the VERSION_H_OUT_EXISTS define when generating
Version.h.out. The wrapper is named Version.h, so any file
that #includes the commit hash and date should #include Version.h
instead of Version.h.out.
As an added bonus, I've also made it so CMake will print "This is
interim commit [HASH] (committed [DATE])" at configure time if the game
is going to be compiled with an interim commit hash.
Now, there is also the issue that the commit hash change will only be
noticed in the first place if CMake needs to be re-ran for anything, but
that's a less severe issue than requiring recompilation of 50(!) or so
files.
As part of fixing #464, I'll need to move these pieces of code around
easily. In #220 I just kind of shoved them awkwardly in whatever
fixed function would be last called in the gamestate loop, which I
shouldn't have done as I've now had to make formal fixed-render
functions anyway. Because these fixed functions need to be called
directly before a render function, and I'm fixing the order to put
render functions in their proper place, so I need to be able to move
these around easily, and making them function calls instead of inlined
makes them easier to manipulate.
There are probably going to be situations where we'll want to compile in
release mode, but still want the hash and don't want Steam/GOG enabled.
So Ethan can use OFFICIAL_BUILD when tagging major versions of the game.
These XML functions will be useful for de-duplicating copy-pasted XML
handling code, while also making it so elements will get updated in
place instead of being thrown out and starting from scratch every time a
file is saved.
This removes the TinyXML source files, removes it from CMakeLists.txt,
removes all the includes, and removes the functions
FILESYSTEM_saveTiXmlDocument() and FILESYSTEM_loadTiXmlDocument() (use
FILESYSTEM_saveTiXml2Document() and FILESYSTEM_loadTiXml2Document()
instead).
Additionally I've cleaned up the tinyxml2.h include in FileSystemUtils.h
so that it doesn't actually include tinyxml2.h unnecessarily, meaning a
change to TinyXML2 shouldn't rebuild all files that include
FileSystemUtils.h.
This enforces the C++03 standard for people making pull requests who may
not realize their fancy features are too new and shouldn't be used
(cough, cough, @leo60228).
I did some internet searching and this is what I got from this page:
https://crascit.com/2015/03/28/enabling-cxx11-in-cmake/
I think it's a bit silly to always include the Steam and GOG APIs
whenever we build VVVVVV, since the only time they'll ever be used is in
a live build and not a dev build.
So now Steam and GOG are disabled by default. If you want them, you'll
need to add -DSTEAM=ON or -DGOG=ON respectively at CMake time. They're
also both automatically enabled for release builds.
This turns the implicit-fallthrough warning into a full compile-time
error.
Implicit fallthrough is when you forget a break statement in a
case-switch, thus letting one case fall through into the next case and
causing debugging headaches.
This is different from the good type of fallthrough that you use to have
one case with multiple different names, like so:
case 0:
case 1:
case 2:
In that case, it's obvious that you want to have fallthrough there.
This uses utfcpp combined with a custom font, in the form of a PNG and text file. By default, the game acts exactly as it did before; custom fonts can be provided by third parties.
The next official VVVVVV build removes 32-bit Linux (like all my other games),
and I need to get rid of the shell script on macOS at some point, so this
basically brings it up to what my other games are doing. Plus, this probably
fixes a bug where someone tries to run their executable away from the root...
Doing this is not necessary as CMake already looks up the default one
correctly and in fact breaks whenever you have multiple Xcode versions
installed so Xcode is not called Xcode.app.
(And it does not respect the default Xcode set using xcode-select)
The behavior now is to respect CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT if set by the
user on the command line. If it's not set, try to use the hardcoded
path to the 10.9 SDK if it's present. If not, warn about the fact
that a different SDK is used.
When building on macOS targeting an older version than the version of
the SDK currently used, this prevents accidentally using APIs that are
too new (introduced in macOS versions newer than the deployment target).
