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.
This adds a mechanism for running generic operations at specific points
of the frame execution. This can be used by any part of the code an not
just Lua since it simply executes std::functions. It also adds an
"execution context" concept that specifies in which situation an
operation should be executed.
This is then used by the Lua Coroutines code for resuming coroutines at
specific points instead of always when the awaited promise resolves.
This adds a simple parser that takes the existing argument
documentations and parses them so that better documentation can be
generated from that information. This should be sufficient for providing
proper documentation generation for the most common and simple cases of
argument lists (type, name, possible default value, and optional
groups).
This will ensure that Lua functions will always be executed in the
correct Lua state. Since we now have multiple threads (which are
different lua_State objects) it is possible that the current code could
execute a Lua function in the main state instead of the thread that is
currently executing. This can lead to weird behavior and probably also
to issues inside Lua.
This can be used by Lua code to trace the runtime of their code in the
same way the engine already is capable of doing for most in-mission and
mission loading code.
Also adds some tracing scopes to the libRocket code
Previosuly, using the script function ArmorClass did not properly display the actual armor class, instead it always displayed -1. This PR fixes that. I have tested these changes and they now proprely display the armor class.
This adds a Lua API for representing asynchronous operations and running
coroutines based on those operations comfortably. This is very similar
to features other languages have introduced such as C# or JavaScript. In
fact, the whole "promise" thing is derived from how JavaScript
represents these operations.
This is the initial and very basic system for supporting async
coroutines in Lua. There is no native support for running these
operations at specific points (they run whenever the awaited promise
resolved) or making sure they do not leak through different game states.
Although not used very often, ai_info.target_signature should be set to -1 whenever no target is specified, just like everywhere else to make sure that the code is as predictable as possible.
(Found while trying to figure out why the heck would the Object update packet send this at all??)
The largest new feature is that it is now possible to include other
files into the RML by using the "include" tag. This is useful for making
markup files more modular.
Also added some more options for existing things (e.g. built-in detail
options).
This adds JSON as an additional scripting documentation output format.
This can be used by external tools to examine the scripting
documentation and generate interface declarations or documentation for
any language. The existing documentation code is left largely in place.
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.
