This adds an Antlr grammar for parsing argument lists instead of using a
hand written parser. This allows to write much more complicated syntax
constructs and have all the code being auto-generated. It will also
produce a much more correct parser instead of having all those hacks in
the hand-written one.
This also adds (in addition to supporting the previous syntax) support
for function types along with support for them in HTML and JSON output
formats.
The ANTLR generated parser is included in source form so that it is not
necessary to have an ANTLR installation around if you are not going to
change the grammar. Also includes the necessary runtime code from Antlr.
Fixes a minor bug that incorrectly draws Rectangles to a scripted HUD gauge. The third and fourht arguments needed to be width and heigth, not x2 and y2.
This adds the following functions to the scripted gauge API: drawCircle, drawRect, and drawLine. Also note that I created an additional function, for HUDGauge:renderCircle_unfilled, becuase the precedent shown by having two functions for `gr_unfilled_circle` and `gr_circle` and adding a fourth argument to `renderCircle` seemed to affect a lot of other functions.
The new gauge can be accessed by the scripting API with which a function
can be set which will be called when this gauge is rendered. This can be
used for exposing the HUD gauge positioning and RTT options to the
scripting API without a lot of work needed for the script writer.
There is currently only one rendering function implemented since this is
only a proof of concept.
This maintains the type information which can be used for enforce
const-correctness and also for implementing more advanced ways of
handling the type information.
As described in #1278, the current scripting system has issues with
handling non-trivial C++ types. Since fixing that deficiency is too much
work, especially since we are in a feature freeze, I decided to simply
enforce the usage of trivial types for scripting handles. Fortunately,
only two handles used non-trivial types so it was relatively easy to fix
those instances by dynamically allocating those and only storing the
pointers in the lua memory.
This fixes a bug in JAD-XA where the game would crash at the last boss.
Also, I noticed that the HudGauge handle used a copy of the hud gauge
rather than a pointer to the actual instance so I'm pretty sure that any
scripting changes to a custom HUD gauge simply didn't work before.
