The strong type is actually just a string underneath, but this will help in the future to have a distinction so it's easier to search and replace when we use an integer ID
Slowly going through all the changes to make, still hundreds of errors
a lot of functions/structures use std::string or stringview to designate an ID. So it takes time
Continues slowly replacing ids. There are technically more and more compilation errors
I have good hope that there is a point where the amount of errors will dramatically go down as all the main functions use the ESM::RefId type
Continue moving forward, changes to the stores
slowly moving along
Starting to see the fruit of those changes.
still many many error, but more and more Irun into a situation where a function is sandwiched between two functions that use the RefId type.
More replacements. Things are starting to get easier
I can see more and more often the issue is that the function is awaiting a RefId, but is given a string
there is less need to go down functions and to fix a long list of them.
Still moving forward, and for the first time error count is going down!
Good pace, not sure about topics though, mId and mName are actually the same thing and are used interchangeably
Cells are back to using string for the name, haven't fixed everything yet. Many other changes
Under the bar of 400 compilation errors.
more good progress <100 compile errors!
More progress
Game settings store can use string for find, it was a bit absurd how every use of it required to create refId from string
some more progress on other fronts
Mostly game settings clean
one error opened a lot of other errors. Down to 18, but more will prbably appear
only link errors left??
Fixed link errors
OpenMW compiles, and launches, with some issues, but still!
Remove WindowManager wrappers.
It's not safe to use WindowManager in all places and it's not required.
Environment stores resource system providing VFS required to call these
functions. In the case of ObjectPaging it's available from the member variable.
Also ObjectPaging::createChunk may access WindowManager when it's already
destructed when exiting the game because it's destructed before CellPreloader
finishes all background jobs. Engine::mResourceSystem is destructed after all
other systems so it's safe to use it.
Use LRU cache for ESMReaders. When cache capacity is reached close least
recently used ESMReader. Remember the file name if a reader was open. Once the
reader requested again open the file if there is stored name for it. Put
released ESMReader to the back of the free items list. Close ESMReader's from
the front of the free items list.
Cached item can be used only by one client at the same time. If the same item is
requested twice exception is thrown. This should never happen in practice. If
this happens need to fix the client logic.
It's allowed to go over the capacity limit when requesting different readers.
Ideally this should never happen but there will be system error anyway
signalizing about too many open files. Need to fix client logic in this case.
All places that were using a vector of ESMReaders now using the cache. Cache is
local for each use case and there is no need for a thread safety.
