this snowballed into a massive search+destroy of the hodgepodge of
mostly equivalent types we had in use (int, uint, unsigned, unsigned
int, i32, u32, ulong, uintN).
it is more efficient to use 64-bit types in 64-bit mode, so the
preferred default is size_t (for anything remotely resembling a size or
index). tile coordinates are ssize_t to allow more efficient conversion
to/from floating point. flags are int because we almost never need more
than 15 distinct bits, bit test/set is not slower and int is fastest to
type. finally, some data that is pretty much directly passed to OpenGL
is now typed accordingly.
after several hours, the code now requires fewer casts and less
guesswork.
other changes:
- unit and player IDs now have an "invalid id" constant in the
respective class to avoid casting and -1
- fix some endian/64-bit bugs in the map (un)packing. added a
convenience function to write/read a size_t.
- ia32: change CPUID interface to allow passing in ecx (required for
cache topology detection, which I need at work). remove some unneeded
functions from asm, replace with intrinsics where possible.
This was SVN commit r5942.
* Removed ToJSVal<jsval> because it's treated as ToJSVal<long> and
causes minor confusion and/or compiler errors.
Changed script interface functions to return either C++ types or a
jsval_t wrapper.
* Replaced some C casts with static_cast to avoid significant confusion
and to cause compiler errors instead.
* Removed some redundant argument-checking code. Simplified some
string-generating code.
* Fixed some "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
strict-aliasing rules" warnings (from `g++ -O3`).
This was SVN commit r5115.
Entities will now leave all their auras and cancel all their productions
when they change ownership, which will be useful when we have
convertible buildings.
This was SVN commit r4156.
