This PR aims to spark the retirement of a questionable pattern I have found all over our code base. I will illustrate how this pattern encourages code duplication, lacks type safety, requires documentation and can be prone to bugs.
```
std::map<std::string, Object> mMap; // Stored in all lowercase for a case-insensitive lookup
std::string lowerKey = Misc::StringUtils::lowerCase(key);
mMap.emplace(lowerKey, object);
std::string lowerKey = Misc::StringUtils::lowerCase(key);
mMap.find(lowerKey);
mMap.find(key); // Not found. Oops!
```
An alternative approach produces no such issues.
```
std::unordered_map<std::string, Object, Misc::StringUtils::CiHash, Misc::StringUtils::CiEqual> mMap;
mMap.emplace(key, object);
mMap.find(key);
```
Of course, such an alternative will work for a `map` as well, but an `unordered_map` is generally preferable over a `map` with these changes because we have moved `lowerCase` into the comparison operator.
In this PR I have refactored `Animation::mNodeMap` accordingly. I have reviewed and adapted all direct and indirect usage of `Animation::mNodeMap` to ensure we do not change behaviour with this PR.
This PR fixes a crash caused by the improperly ensured lifetime of RigGeometry::mSourceGeometry. mSourceGeometry was not adequate to ensure mSourceGeometry would outlive mGeometry because we extend mGeometrys lifetime beyond this lifetime by passing mGeometry to the draw traversal instead of this.
In addition,
We add important comments.
We detect and prevent generally unsafe operations in high level code.
We add a sprinkling of const to help clarify intentions.
Currently, we use a peculiar mapping of ESM classes by their std::type_info::name. This mapping is an undefined behaviour because std::type_info::name is strictly implementation defined. It could return a non-unique value on some platforms. With this PR we use the unsigned int sRecordId of the ESM class as a more efficient lookup type that does not build on undefined behaviour. We can expect marginally faster save-game loading with these changes as well.
Swimming-related fixes
See merge request OpenMW/openmw!247
(cherry picked from commit 8be328ef80f29e9692e29d24beefa8ced16537a7)
738c71fd Extend the "turn to movement direction" mode for swimming up and down.
10d3e82b New setting "swim upward coef"
1. Move weapon types behaviour from switches to the table (should allow
us to de-hardcode weapon types later)
2. Gereralize bones injection to actors skeletons (instead of using the
hardcoded xbase_anim_sh.nif)
A Warning indicates a potential problem in the content file(s) that the user told OpenMW to load. E.g. this might cause an object to not display at all or as intended, however the rest of the game will run fine.
An Error, however, is more likely to be a bug with the engine itself - it means that basic assumptions have been violated and the engine might not run correctly anymore.
The above mostly applies to errors/warnings during game-play; startup issues are handled differently: when a file is completely invalid/corrupted to the point that the engine can not start, that might cause messages that are worded as Error due to the severity of the issue but are not necessarily the engine's fault.
Hopefully, being a little more consistent here will alleviate confusion among users as to when a log message should be reported and to whom.
