We should be able to use static pinvokes on platforms that do not
provide or require extensions and calli instructions on platforms with
extension APIs. This dinstiction will be implemented as a parameter in
the rewriter.
By using untyped integers instead of typed integers in the unmanaged
callsites, we allow monolinker to keep the exact set of enums that are
used by the user. Without this, we’d have to keep every single enum in
place to avoid missing type exceptions.
This does not affect the public signatures or the generated code in any
way.
OpenTK normally uses reflection to load bindings, instead of generating
huge constructors. Although reflection is faster on first load (thanks
to reduced JIT overhead), it fails to work correctly with monolinker.
This branch explores the performance of a direct binding.
Trim regex will now correctly match GetInteger64 and other functions
ending in "64". It also uses a correct ending anchor to avoid matches
in the middle of a function name.
Scan through the list of wrappers once, instead of multiple times, in
order to find out which functions use which enums. This speeds up enum
generation tremendously.
GetBoolean, GetInteger6, GetFixedvOES and Delete* are now matched in
the convenience wrapper generator. Methods returning vectors of fixed
size (e.g. 4 ints) are no longer matched.
The lookup for function overrides and overloads now tries to work
around extension case mismatches (e.g. IBM vs Ibm). This fixes a few
specific cases of missing overrides.
It is now possible to specify multiple overloads for the same function.
This is helpful for maintaining backwards compatibility with previous
releases.
OpenTK 1.0 and Xamarin Android/iOS do not use strongly-typed enums for
OpenGL ES. Generate overloads with the "All" enum in order to maintain
compatibility.
Only Get*, Gen*, Delete* and New* functions get convenience overloads.
This avoids issues with functions such as Rect() that have similar
signatures but cannot use such overloads.
This restriction will be relaxed in the future.
These are convenience parameters for function receiving a size and an
array parameter, like DeleteTextures(int n, int[] ids). The generator
will now add overloads taking a single parameter, such as
DeleteTexture(int id).
CreateCLSCompliantWrappers must always change return types into
cls-compliant types. The reason is that we cannot overload on return
type alone, so we should always choose the compliant version.
