* we don't need on CAO side more than SceneManager, and temporary. Pass only required SceneManager as a parameter to build CAO and add them to the current scene
* Use temporary the RenderingEngine singleton from ClientEnvironment, waitfor for better solution
* Make ClientActiveObject::addToScene virtual function mandatory to be defined by children to ensure we don't forget to properly define it
This fixes an out-of-bounds index access when the node resolver was already applied to the schematic (i.e. biome decoration).
Also improves the handling of the two cases: prior node resolving (m_nodenames), and after node resolving (manual lookup)
The only valid usecase for these is interfacing with OS APIs
that want a locale/OS-specific multibyte encoding.
But they weren't used for that anywhere, instead UTF-8 is pretty
much assumed when it comes to that.
Since these are only a potential source of bugs and do not fulfil
their purpose at all, drop them entirely.
Remove old defaults system
Introduce priority-based fallback list
Use new functions for map_meta special functions
Change groups to use end tags
Unittest changes:
* Adapt unittest to the new code
* Compare Settings objects
Run unused functions reported by cppcheck
This change removes a few (but not all) unused functions.
Some unused helper functions were not removed due to their complexity and potential of future use.
This commit clarifies the maximal length of the serialized strings.
It will avoid accidental use of serializeString() when a larger string can be expected.
Removes unused Wide String serialization functions
This reverts 1a5b4b3 and further functions in serialize.cpp that are unused
The intend for a sane NetworkPacket/stream replacement was good, but a wrapper
class around i/ostream might be more versatile than introducing a new
vector-based serialization class.
* Optimize getObjectsInsideRadius calls
our previous implementation calls the ActiveObjectMgr to return ids and then lookup those ids in the same map and test each object
Instead now we call the global map to return the pointers directly and we ask filtering when building the list using lamba.
This drop double looping over ranges of active objects (and then filtered one) and drop x lookups on the map regarding the first call results
Move LuaEntitySAO to a new dedicated file
Drop TestSAO (useless object)
Drop the old static startup initialized SAO factory, which was pretty useless.
This factory was using a std::map for 2 elements, now just use a simple condition owned by ServerEnvironment, which will be lightweight, that will also drop a one time useful test on each LuaEntitySAO creation. This should reduce server load on massive SAO creation
Unified flags handling in C++ and Lua Settings API

This change reduces the amount of sent data towards clients. Inventory lists that are already known to the player are skipped, saving quite some data over time.
Raises protocol version to 38 to ensure correct backwards-compatible code.
Pointers shall be set to nullptr, not 0, according to the
coding standards. By implication they shall be compared with
nullptr, not 0, too. Fix this code to match that.
* Optimize statbar drawing
The texture name of the statbar is a string passed by value.
That slows down the client and creates litter in the heap
as the content of the string is allocated there. Convert the
offending parameter to a const reference to avoid the
performance hit.
* Optimize texture cache
There is an unnecessary temporary created when the texture
path is being generated. This slows down the cache each time
a new texture is encountered and it needs to be loaded into
the cache. Additionally, the heap litter created by this
unnecessary temporary is particularly troublesome here as
the following code then piles another string (the resulting
full path of the texture) on top of it, followed by the
texture itself, which both are quite long term objects as
they are subsequently inserted into the cache where they can
remain for quite a while (especially if the texture turns
out to be a common one like dirt, grass or stone).
Use std::string.append to get rid of the temporary which
solves both issues (speed and heap fragmentation).
* Optimize animations in client
Each time an animated node is updated, an unnecessary copy of
the texture name is created, littering the heap with lots of
fragments. This can be specifically troublesome when looking
at oceans or large lava lakes as both of these nodes are
usually animated (the lava animation is pretty visible).
Convert the parameter of GenericCAO::updateTextures to a
const reference to get rid of the unnecessary copy.
There is a comment stating "std::string copy is mandatory as
mod can be a class member and there is a swap on those class
members ... do NOT pass by reference", reinforcing the
belief that the unnecessary copy is in fact necessary.
However one of the first things the code of the method does
is to assign the parameter to its class member, creating
another copy. By rearranging the code a little bit this
"another copy" can then be used by the subsequent code,
getting rid of the need to pass the parameter by value and
thus saving that copying effort.
* Optimize chat console history handling
The GUIChatConsole::replaceAndAddToHistory was getting the
line to work on by value which turns out to be unnecessary.
Get rid of that unnecessary copy by converting the parameter
to a const reference.
* Optimize gui texture setting
The code used to set the texture for GUI components was
getting the name of the texture by value, creating
unnecessary performance bottleneck for mods/games with
heavily textured GUIs. Get rid of the bottleneck by passing
the texture name as a const reference.
* Optimize sound playing code in GUIEngine
The GUIEngine's code receives the specification of the sound
to be played by value, which turns out to be most likely a
mistake as the underlying sound manager interface receives
the same thing by reference. Convert the offending parameter
to a const reference to get rid of the rather bulky copying
effort and the associated performance hit.
* Silence CLANG TIDY warnings for unit tests
Change "std::string" to "const std::string &" to avoid an
unnecessary local value copy, silencing the CLANG TIDY
process.
* Optimize formspec handling
The "formspec prepend" parameter was passed to the formspec
handling code by value, creating unnecessary copy of
std::string and slowing down the game if mods add things like
textured backgrounds for the player inventory and/or other
forms. Get rid of that performance bottleneck by converting
the parameter to a const reference.
* Optimize hotbar image handling
The code that sets the background images for the hotbar is
getting the name of the image by value, creating an
unnecessary std::string copying effort. Fix that by
converting the relevant parameters to const references.
* Optimize inventory deserialization
The inventory manager deserialization code gets the
serialized version of the inventory by value, slowing the
server and the client down when there are inventory updates.
This can get particularly troublesome with pipeworks which
adds nodes that can mess around with inventories
automatically or with mods that have mobs with inventories
that actively use them.
* Optimize texture scaling cache
There is an io::path parameter passed by value in the
procedure used to add images converted from textures,
leading to slowdown when the image is not yet created and
the conversion is thus needed. The performance hit is
quite significant as io::path is similar to std::string
so convert the parameter to a const reference to get rid of
it.
* Optimize translation file loader
Use "std::string::append" when calculating the final index
for the translation table to avoid unnecessary temporary
strings. This speeds the translation file loader up
significantly as std::string uses heap allocation which
tends to be rather slow. Additionally, the heap is no
longer being littered by these unnecessary string
temporaries, increasing performance of code that gets
executed after the translation file loader finishes.
* Optimize server map saving
When the directory structure for the world data is created
during server map saving, an unnecessary value passing of
the directory name slows things down. Remove that overhead
by converting the offending parameter to a const reference.
Store the rotation in the node as a 4x4 transformation matrix internally (through IDummyTransformationSceneNode), which allows more manipulations without losing precision or having gimbal lock issues.
Network rotation is still transmitted as Eulers, though, not as matrix. But it will stay this way in 5.0.
GCC and CLang compilers fail to support full IEC559 compliance required for the test, when certain compiler flags are active. This patch implements a heuristic that checks for the most common flag in GCC and CLang, plues an extra check which GCC disables when it's not compliant, to hopefully catch most cases where it can't run.
