These warnings were always enabled, but we didn't see them due to https://gitlab.com/OpenMW/openmw/-/issues/7882.
I do not fully understand the cause of 7822 as I can't repro it in a minimal CMake project.
Some of these fixes are thought through.
Some are sensible best guesses.
Some are kind of a stab in the dark as I don't know whether there was a
possible bug the warning was telling me about that I've done nothing to
help by introducing a static_cast.
Nearly all of these warnings were about some kind of narrowing
conversion, so I'm not sure why they weren't firing with GCC and Clang,
which have -Wall -Wextra -pedantic set, which should imply -Wnarrowing,
and they can't have been affected by 7882.
There were also some warnings being triggered from Boost code.
The vast majority of library headers that do questionable things weren't
firing warnings off, but for some reason, /external:I wasn't putting
these Boost headers into external mode.
We need these warnings dealt with one way or another so we can switch
the default Windows CI from MSBuild (which doesn't do ccache) to Ninja
(which does).
I have the necessary magic for that on a branch, but the branch won't
build because of these warnings.
Fixed some types
removed useless header
applied clang format
fixed compile tests
fixed clang tidy, and closer to logic before this MR
Removed hardcoded refids
unless there is a returned value we don't use static RefIds
can use == between RefId and hardcoded string
Fix clang format
Fixed a few instances where std::string was used, when only const std::string& was needed
removed unused variable
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!
