2022-09-13Move towards C23, improve events and vcall macrosMichael Smith
Another big one. Here's a list of things: - Since the upcoming C23 standardises typeof(), use it as an extension for the time being in order to allow passing arbitrary types as macro/codegen parameters. It wouldn't have been a big leap to do this even without standardisation since it's apparently an easy extension to implement - and also, to be honest, this project is essentially glued to Clang anyway so who cares. - Likewise, bool, true and false are becoming pre-defined, so pre-pre-define them now in order to get the benefit of not having to remember one header everywhere. - Really ungodly/amazing vcall macro stuff now allows us to call C++ virtual functions like regular C functions. It's pretty cool! - Events can now take arbitrary parameters and come in two types: regular events and predicates. All this makes the base code even uglier but makes the feature implementation nicer. In other words, it places more of the cognitive burden on myself and less on other people who might want to contribute. This is a good tradeoff, because I'm a genius.

2022-07-23Add event systemMichael Smith
2022-05-03Add entity property finding and L4D warp testingMichael Smith
This was a lot more code than expected, but it might be finally close to time to release the next beta... We'll see if any more rabbit holes present themselves to jump into, though.
2022-04-24Replace udis86 with a very small x86 decoderMichael Smith
hook_inline() uses the new x86_len() function to get instruction lengths instead of doing full-blown disassembly, which should be a tiny bit quicker, and also removes the next for about 90KiB of lookup tables and such in the final binary. The code-digging logic in demorecord is also rewritten to be opcode-based rather than mnenmonic based. In general, going forward the plan is to always rely on opcodes and thus avoid a bunch of disassembly work every plugin load. udis86 is still in the tree for now to provide dbg_asmdump(), but it's only compiled into debug builds and left out of releases completely. As such, the whole BSD licence statement is also gone from the distribution LICENCE files. There's now also a dbg_toghidra() which spits out a rebased address to look stuff up for proper reverse engineering, which might be more useful than dbg_asmdump() anyway. If nobody ends up using the latter ever again, udis86 could get chucked completely. We'll see. Also shoehorned into this commit are a couple more forgotten copyright year bumps and some general minor cleanup here and there, because I couldn't be bothered wading through all the diff hunks. Oh, and makebindist.bat now makes an effort to make the zip file timestamps predictable/reproducible. That should be a different commit for sure, but oh well too bad.
2022-03-20Support deferring cvar registrationMichael Smith
This allows stuff to be registered conditionally. Unfortunately cmeta is now truly the worst thing of all time, but cleaning it up isn't a huge priority. On the plus side, codegen actually got simpler.

With code from Bill. Thanks Bill!
