Okay, I just finished moving the macros from common/dl_base.h to the proper files. Now I need to go through the entire codebase and correct all of the includes, making sure everything is where it needs to be.
This is a downside to making heavy use of the preprocessor: it can cause conflicts due to how compilers work.
- The preprocessor runs, doing full text replacement in the order that things appear
- The compiler runs, converting everything into an AST and object code
- Code is linked together into a single unit
Ultimately, we’ll want to pare things down to limit the potential for bugs in the future. I don’t have an issue on the tracker but I did mention it sometime last year in the thread, it just hasn’t made it over to GitHub yet. Will get it added at some point.
I also need to go through and remove the boolean macros and swap them out for bool, true, and false. Going to take a bit as the UI makes heavy use the macros
