- introduce a new format (with backward compatability) that is more clear and needs a much simpler face drawer
- replace tons of ifs/switches/magic numbers by table lookups
For some reason the internal formatting of the XML between MSVC2003 and MSVC2005 differs, so adding a file in MSVC2005 would result in basically adding the entire openttd_vs80.vcproj to the diff.
This will permanently solve the issue where compilation on OSX broke because C++ code was added to some header files
-Note: (important if you develop mac specific code)
taken from http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/Cocoa/Objective-C++.html
gdb lacks an integrated C++ with Objective-C parser. This means that gdb won't be able to evaluate expressions that contain both C++ and Objective-C constructs.
gdb assumes that the language for ".mm" files is C++.
you can change it to objective C by typing: (gdb) set language objc
Mixing C++ and objective C has some limitation (see link for all of them)
-Simplifies assignment from raw pointers
-Should be harder to crash the program by incorrect assignment into it.
-Should help with MorphOS compilation errors
- A proper ./configure, so everything needs to be configured only once, not for every make.
- Usage of makedepend when available. This greatly reduces the time needed for generating the dependencies.
- A generator for all project files. There is a single file with sources, which is used to generate Makefiles and the project files for MSVC.
- Proper support for OSX universal binaries.
- Object files for non-MSVC compiles are also placed in separate directories, making is faster to switch between debug and release compiles and it does not touch the directory with the source files.
- Functionality to make a bundle of all needed files for for example a nightly or distribution of a binary with all needed GRFs and language files.
Note: as this merge moves almost all files, it is recommended to make a backup of your working copy before updating your working copy.
