Use std::variant. Store refId strings in unordered_set and use pointer to an
item there. Inserts to unordered_set do not invalidate pointers to values so the
pointer is always valid. Elements are not removed. Assume there is finite number
of string refIds.
Mostly to avoid string literal lookup by index with iteration over all preciding
literals and calling strlen. This is very inefficient. In genral this makes code
much more straightforward but also makes it portable since now int and float of
different sizes are properly supported.
Fix compile, and apply review comment
Fixed greater vs more typo.
getCellname is back to a string view.
Because in most cases was used as a strong not a refId.
and there was a fundamental issue with region names used as a cellname
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!
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.
