Moved construction logic to separate method, and call that from constructor instead. When willing to change the entire context on the same object, you can now just call 'InitFromXXXX()'. Previously, a whole new object would be generated and copied into ours, and then deleted again.
Remove the option to disable dynamic init, it was broken anyways as the string was getting constructed, and therefore, dynamic memory could be allocated if string exceeds a certain size where it has to be moved from stack to heap. The only functions we were interested in, while not allocating anything have been made static instead in the last refactor round.
Moved CModule statics to a separate translation unit, preventing the linker to link unused stuff into the loader module, thus allowing us to drop the linkage of unused libraries.
*Use unordered_map to get mpdule sections instead, as this is more performant than comparing strings.
* Removed 'm_SectionName' field from ModuleSections_t, as the unordered map now keeps track of them.
* Removed all extraneous module section copies.
* Renamed 'GetImportedFunction' to 'GetImportedSymbol'.
* Renamed 'GetExportedFunction' to 'GetExportedSymbol'.
*Made a static version of 'GetImportedSymbol' and 'GetExportedSymbol', so it could be used on raw module base addresses.
*Created inlines for getting the DOS and NT headers.
*Improved formatting so the code could be read more easily on a vertical monitor.
This commit significantly reduces output code size, and a noticeable increase in performance. Changes are:
- Removed all extraneous std::string and std::vector copy constructions; use raw pointers instead to boost performance.
- Marked simple getters in CModule inline.
- Marked several functions in CModule const.
- Slightly reordered CModule class.
- 'CMemory::CheckOpCodes' and 'CMemory::Patch' now take a const reference.
* All libraries have been isolated from each other, and build into separate artifacts.
* Project has been restructured to support isolating libraries.
* CCrashHandler now calls a callback on crash (setup from core/dllmain.cpp, this can be setup in any way for any project. This callback is getting called when the apllication crashes. Useful for flushing buffers before closing handles to logging files for example).
* Tier0 'CoreMsgV' function now calls a callback sink, which could be set by the user (currently setup to the SDK's internal logger in core/dllmain.cpp).
TODO:
* Add a batch file to autogenerate all projects.
* Add support for dedicated server.
* Add support for client dll.
Bugs:
* Game crashes on the title screen after the UI script compiler has finished (root cause unknown).
* Curl error messages are getting logged twice for the dedicated server due to the removal of all "DEDICATED" preprocessor directives to support isolating projects. This has to be fixed properly!
