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.
- directoryPosix: replace most methods with boost filesystem (but not
all: the latter cannot efficiently enumerate files AND query their
size/mtime)
- AllocatorChecker: better name for member functions
- file: move the File class here
- trace: bugfix
- io: move UnalignedWriter to write_buffer.cpp (basically the same
thing)
- vfs: remove unnecessary "vfs" warts from variable names
- vfs_tree: VfsFile now stores single Name/Size/MTime fields instead of
the FileInfo record (less clunky)
- vfs_path: use boost filesystem's version of the basename/extension
functions
- lf_alloc: remove (no longer necessary, won't be finished - not worth
the trouble)
- path_util: remove path_foreach_component (replaced by better path
traversal logic) and PathPackage (obsoleted by fs::path)
! resource loading code now receives VfsPath as its filename. there is
also OsPath (native absolute path) and Path (relative to binaries/data)
- tex is now independent of file loading code; it just en/decodes
in-memory buffers
- wdll_ver: clean up, use smart pointer to simplify bailout code
- wsdl: remove nonexistent failure path from calc_gamma (cruised by here
because SDL_SetGamme is failing once after a cold boot at work)
- wsnd: simplify OpenAL DLL search, use boost::filesystem
- wutil: Wow64 redirection is now packaged in a (RAII) class
This was SVN commit r5525.
