Recently we started to use this as new semantics, although in the past
we used simly <engine>_H. Now these guard defines are consistent with
rest of the files which are used in the engines.
Some backends like GCW0 do no support graphics >320x240 due to
the hardware limitation (downscaling is possible but it will ruin
the pixel hunting which is often part of the gameplay).
Instead of manually updating the list of engines, we now introduce
a new dependency.
I marked all relevant engines, but some, like tinsel, require more
work with putting their relevant high-res games under USE_HIGHRES
define.
These issues were identified by the STACK tool.
By default, the C++ new operator will throw an exception on allocation
failure, rather than returning a null pointer.
The result is that testing the returned pointer for null is redundant
and _may_ be removed by the compiler. This is thus optimization
unstable and may result in incorrect behaviour at runtime.
However, we do not use exceptions as they are not supported by all
compilers and may be disabled.
To make this stable without removing the null check, you could qualify
the new operator call with std::nothrow to indicate that this should
return a null, rather than throwing an exception.
However, using (std::nothrow) was not desirable due to the Symbian
toolchain lacking a <new> header.
A global solution to this was also not easy by redefining "new" as "new
(std::nothrow)" due to custom constructors in NDS toolchain and various
common classes.
Also, this would then need explicit checks for OOM adding to all new
usages as per C malloc which is untidy.
For now to remove this optimisation unstable code is best as it is
likely to not be present anyway, and OOM will cause a system library
exception instead, even without exceptions enabled in the application
code.
