The gist of it is that for Etc and Font props, the assignment
operator (eg. 'sprite.color=') does not take a reference of the
right hand parameter and replaces its previous one with it (this
was the old behavior). Rather, it keeps its internal property
object and copies the parameter object into it by value.
The getter is unchanged; it still returns a reference to the
internal property object.
s = Sprite.new
c = Color.new
s.color = c
p s.color == c # => true
p s.color.object_id == c.object_id # => false (true before)
c = s.color
p s.color.object_id == c.object_id # => true
This looks like a pretty major change, but in reality,
80% of it is just renames of types and corresponding
methods.
The config parsing code has been completely replaced
with a boost::program_options based version. This
means that the config file format slightly changed
(checkout the updated README).
I still expect there to be bugs / unforseen events.
Those should be fixed in follow up commits.
Also, finally reverted back to using pkg-config to
locate and link libruby. Yay for less hacks!
This replaces the previously directly bound #clone
methods, which weren't really the "the Ruby way".
Rubys default Object#clone will call into our #init_copy
methods instead.
Partly incorporates pull request #3 by /cremno.
Previously, wrapped instances of mkxp core classes were
stored as RData ivars inside the actual object. This turned
out to be pointless as RData objects themselves are perfectly
valid objects that can carry ivars and have parent classes.
Therefore, the RData objects are now exposed directly to
the user scripts, effectively halving the amount of object
allocations.
What can I say. I made a pact with the devil, and paid dearly.
Almost a whole day's worth of debugging, actually. Not again.
If this turns out to be slow we can always optimize the critical
parts (with no variable param count) later, or completely remove it.
