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.
- Added "Screenshot Mode" and "Fog of War" game attributes. (Screenshot
Mode causes units to be initialized to Hold stance instead of Aggress
and also forces LOS to be All Visible. Atlas turn on Screenshot Mode by
default so units don't try to kill each other in there.)
- Modified LOSManager to allow disabling fog of war.
- Removed some debug message spam.
- Enabled line antialiasing for aura rendering and fixed some bugs that
caused strange effects (color was not set properly for the center point,
and when a unit was both mouseover'ed and selected, the aura was drawn
twice).
- Modified Stand stance to allow retaliation on attacks (normally Stand
will attack any enemy in LOS, but this is useful if a neutral unit is in
LOS).
- Modified pathfinder to not take into account terrain slope, which is
an expensive calculation - we'll eventually take into account terrain
type instead.
This was SVN commit r4527.
replaced all (*) CStr / CStrW by-value params with const reference. hoo
boy.
please always perform this optimization (actually standard idiom) when
writing the code - it takes little work, tells the next guy that the
string won't be modified, and makes a large performance difference.
(* where possible.. a few require other changes and will follow later)
This was SVN commit r4151.
