2024-08-23Revise syntax macros and add a ton of branch hintsMichael Smith
My new programming style is branch hints. All non-confusing branches must be hinted when I can be bothered. It's faster, sometimes, maybe. Also, start trying to use more signed sizes in at least some of the places where it makes sense. Unsigned sizes are surprisingly error-prone!
2024-08-22Rework OS abstractionsMichael Smith
- As much as possible avoid dragging system headers into translation units. This should avoid namespace pollution and, hopefully, speed up builds a little bit. - Avoid leaning on the UCRT so much on Windows - prefer native win32 calls and native file handles except where doing so is inconvenient (in particular, for stat(), which we might try and replace later). - Also, switch from SystemFunction036 to ProcessPrng on Windows. This requires us to generate a stub for bcryptprimitives.dll because Microsoft haven't bothered to provide a link library, but the function is better-documented and seems to be a more direct under-the-hood call as well. Apparently it's what's used by the major web browsers these days, which seems like a good indication it's stable and trusted. - Lastly, remove a bunch of functions and macros and stuff that weren't actually being used. It seems good to try and keep the scope of OS-dependent stuff relatively contained and only add to it when actually required.
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.
2022-05-16Make the demo directory check more robustMichael Smith
This is how it should've been to begin with, but I was lazy.
2022-05-06HOTFIX: Fix L4D2 2.0.0.0 crashingv0.3-HOTFIXMichael Smith
Idiotic problems require idiotic solutions.
2022-04-24Move WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN and NOMINMAX into flagsMichael Smith
They're literally always defined thusfar, and it's always possible to include specific headers for other stuff. So, rather than litter the source with defines (which might not even work in the likes of os.h if some other system header already decided to define/include stuff), let's just define it at the build script level.
2022-03-24Clean up gameinfo_init() and other random stuffMichael Smith
- Just ask the engine for the game directory instead of doing the stupid argv sniffing hacks from the early days of trying to get the damn thing working. - Also add some other path variables, functions and whatnot, and do some other minor tidying up. - Also also, another damn copyright year, somebody please help me. Unfortunate negative effect off this change: con_init() no longer reports the game name, because it has to happen before gameinfo_init(). I've decided I don't really care, though.
2022-03-19Spruce up text and fix some copyright yearsMichael Smith
Sometimes, you just want to Unicode.
2022-01-06Fix a couple of other latent woopsiesMichael Smith
The format string one is cool because it implies the Windows code was also always wrong but the Windows headers aren't annotated for Clang so I guess that means it doesn't warn. At least for the nonstandard Windows wide character versions of things. Cool!
2022-01-06Tidy up stubs, make vstdlib a stub, build on LinuxMichael Smith
Important note: it doesn't WORK on Linux, and there's tons of warnings and stuff, but it's easier to work on when all the compiler output and whatnot is there.

With code from Bill. Thanks Bill!
