With \x, we sometimes had to do the "" trick, as the length is not
predefined. With C++11 bringing \u to the specs, which has a preset
length, we no longer need the "" trick.
We set the strings to u8, to ensure all compilers use UTF-8 encoding
for the \u characters.
This was triggered by newer CLangs, which start to warn if you
use "" in the middle of a string, wondering if that was your
intention. It is a good question. And this is our answer :)
CMake works on all our supported platforms, like MSVC, Mingw, GCC,
Clang, and many more. It allows for a single way of doing things,
so no longer we need shell scripts and vbs scripts to work on all
our supported platforms.
Additionally, CMake allows to generate project files for like MSVC,
KDevelop, etc.
This heavily reduces the lines of code we need to support multiple
platforms from a project perspective.
Addtiionally, this heavily improves our detection of libraries, etc.
Previously, a helicopter in the hangar of a commuter airport would have to wait until HELIPAD2 was free before it could takeoff. Now, a helicopter in the hangar can takeoff from just outside the hangar.
This can avoid out-of-memory situations due to single scripts using up the entire address space.
Instead, scripts that go above the maximum are killed.
The maximum is default 1 GB per script, but can be configured by a setting.
This is a C++11 feature that allows the compiler to check that a virtual
member declaration overrides a base-class member with the same signature.
Also src/blitter/32bpp_anim_sse4.hpp +38 is no longer erroneously marked
as virtual despite being a template.
This switch has been a pain for years. Often disabling broke
compilation, as no developer compiles OpenTTD without, neither do
any of our official binaries.
Additionaly, it has grown so hugely in our codebase, that it
clearly shows that the current solution was a poor one. 350+
instances of "#ifdef ENABLE_NETWORK" were in the code, of which
only ~30 in the networking code itself. The rest were all around
the code to do the right thing, from GUI to NewGRF.
A more proper solution would be to stub all the functions, and
make sure the rest of the code can simply assume network is
available. This was also partially done, and most variables were
correct if networking was disabled. Despite that, often the #ifdefs
were still used.
With the recent removal of DOS, there is also no platform anymore
which we support where networking isn't working out-of-the-box.
All in all, it is time to remove the ENABLE_NETWORK switch. No
replacement is planned, but if you feel we really need this option,
we welcome any Pull Request which implements this in a way that
doesn't crawl through the code like this diff shows we used to.
