- Removed empty paragraphs in XML.
- Consistently use bold style for "Example:", on a new line.
- Fix usage of `[code]` when hyperlinks could be used (`[member]`, `[constant]`).
- Fix invalid usage of backticks for inline code in BBCode.
- Fix some American/British English spelling inconsistencies.
- Other minor fixes spotted along the way, including typo fixes with codespell.
- Don't specify `@GlobalScope` for `enum` and `constant`.
Add few methods to allow peers to exchange authentication information.
- `set_auth_callback(callback)`: Enable the authentication features.
The callback is a `Callable` that accepts an `int` (the peer ID), and
a `PackedByteArray` of data.
- The `peer_authenticating(id)` signal will be emitted instead of
`peer_connected` when a new peer connects.
- Use `send_auth(id: int, data: PackedByteArray)` to exchange data.
- Call `complete_auth(id: int)` when the authentication process is
complete and you expect to start receiving game data.
- The `peer_connected` signal will be emitted as soon as both parties
complete the authentication.
- Use `disconnect_peer(id)` to disconnect a connected peer.
- If the `peer_connected` signal didn't fire for that peer (i.e. it was
still in the authentication phase), the `peer_auth_failed` signal will
be emitted instead of `peer_disconnected`.
This check was removed because it introduces a bug which prevents
ZIPPacker from actually adding any files, since it must be opened before
adding any files (and therefore shouldn't be NULL at the start of
`start_file`).
This allows using generic Godot collections as type arguments for other
generic Godot collections. This also allows generic Godot collections
as parameter or return type in dynamic Callable invocations.
We aim to make the C# API reflection-free, mainly for concerns about
performance, and to be able to target NativeAOT in refletion-free mode,
which reduces the binary size.
One of the main usages of reflection still left was the dynamic
invokation of callable delegates, and for some time I wasn't sure
I would find an alternative solution that I'd be happy with.
The new solution uses trampoline functions to invoke the delegates:
```
static void Trampoline(object delegateObj, NativeVariantPtrArgs args, out godot_variant ret)
{
if (args.Count != 1)
throw new ArgumentException($"Callable expected 1 arguments but received {args.Count}.");
string res = ((Func<int, string>)delegateObj)(
VariantConversionCallbacks.GetToManagedCallback<int>()(args[0])
);
ret = VariantConversionCallbacks.GetToVariantCallback<string>()(res);
}
Callable.CreateWithUnsafeTrampoline((int num) => "Foo" + num, &Trampoline);
```
Of course, this is too much boilerplate for user code. To improve this,
the `Callable.From` methods were added. These are overloads that take
`Action` and `Func` delegates, which covers the most common use cases:
lambdas and method groups:
```
// Lambda
Callable.From((int num) => "Foo" + num);
// Method group
string AppendNum(int num) => "Foo" + num;
Callable.From(AppendNum);
```
Unfortunately, due to limitations in the C# language, implicit
conversions from delegates to `Callable` are not supported.
`Callable.From` does not support custom delegates. These should be
uncommon, but the Godot C# API actually uses them for event signals.
As such, the bindings generator was updated to generate trampoline
functions for event signals. It was also optimized to use `Action`
instead of a custom delegate for parameterless signals, which removes
the need for the trampoline functions for those signals.
The change to reflection-free invokation removes one of the last needs
for `ConvertVariantToManagedObjectOfType`. The only remaining usage is
from calling script constructors with parameters from the engine
(`CreateManagedForGodotObjectScriptInstance`). Once that one is made
reflection-free, `ConvertVariantToManagedObjectOfType` can be removed.
