This helps external tooling to understand if a SL_STRUCT should
be skipped when reading. Basically, this transforms an SL_STRUCT
into a SL_STRUCTLIST with either 0 or 1 length.
This wasn't consistently done, and often variables were used that
were read by an earlier blob. By moving it next to the struct
itself, the code becomes a bit more self-contained and easier to
read.
Additionally, this allows for external tooling to know how many
structs to expect, instead of having to know where to find the
length-field or a hard-coded value that can change at any moment.
With the new SLEG_STRUCT it is much easier to embed a struct
in a struct, where the sub-struct has limitations on when it is
being used.
This makes both the code easier to read (less magic) and avoids
the SaveLoad needing to know all these things about Stations
and Vehicles.
The commits following this will use this new functionality.
Currently, a few places do this manually. This has as drawback that
the Save() and Load() code need to be in sync, and that any change
can result in (old) savegames no longer loading. In general, it is
annoying code to maintain.
By putting everything in a description table, and use that for
both Save() and Load(), it becomes easier to see what is going on,
and hopefully less likely for people to make mistakes.
You can easily mistake SlList / SL_LST to be a list of SL_VAR, but
it is a list of SL_REF. With this rename, it hopefully saves a few
people from "wtf?" moments.
Prepare the full description and send it to SlObject. This does
require some code to be able to read to a SLE_VAR_NULL, like strings
etc, as there is no way to know their length beforehand.
Basically, this changes "SaveLoad *" to either:
1) "SaveLoadTable" if a list of SaveLoads was meant
2) "SaveLoad &" if a single entry was meant
As added bonus, this removes SL_END / SLE_END / SLEG_END. This
also adds core/span.hpp, a "std::span"-lite.
When running with -dsl=2 it is very easy to miss important information
as there was a lot of noise in between too. This tunes the debug
levels a bit to be less noisy while keeping the important bits.
Various of PatchPacks (Spring 2013, Joker, ChillPP) used versions
slightly higher than ours. Of course, as time went by, this
caught up with us, and we are now almost pushing a new version
that would conflict with them. To avoid users creating unneeded
issues about "why can I not load my savegame", lets be ahead of
the curve and flat-out refuse to load them.
Version-wise, this is totally fine. We have ~32k versions to go
before we run out (0x8000 is masked by JGRPP; we should avoid
using that). At the rate we bump savegames, this is not going to
happen in any sane reality.
Emscripten compiles to WASM, which can be loaded via
HTML / JavaScript. This allows you to play OpenTTD inside a
browser.

The last use was for storing a list of memory blocks. As the way these lists are accessed is very
specific, it is easier to just write an explicit destructor instead of trying to exactly match the behaviour.
This is a C++11 feature that allows the compiler to check that a virtual
member declaration overrides a base-class member with the same signature.
Also src/blitter/32bpp_anim_sse4.hpp +38 is no longer erroneously marked
as virtual despite being a template.
It is the only library we use that calls itself with 'lib' in the
name. This might be confusing, but with the arrival of cmake a lot
of these things are automated. And detection will find 'liblzma',
not 'lzma', like with 'lzo', 'zlib', ..
