Values for the report are generated by calling ToString on members, we avoid calling this on value types for performance. By instead just copying the value we can delay calling ToString until later and avoid spending time and memory creating strings that usually go unused.
- Drop the impressive but inscrutable dynamically generated code in favour of some plain old code.
- Cache type information so costly reflection need not be performed each time.
- Only capture values from a sync object into an array rather than a dictionary lookup of both names and values for efficiency.
- Throw if the sync attribute is used on a property that cannot be read or that uses index parameters.
- Implement IDisposable interface correctly, with sealed classes where possible for simplicity.
- Add using statement around undisposed local variables.
- Made private methods static where possible (runtime can elide checking the object for null).
- Declared attribute classes as sealed (allows reflection on attributes to complete faster).
- Moved some static cctor's into field initializers (static cctor's are slower than static field initializers).
- Made classes static if they contained only static methods (can't create instances of useless objects).
- Use inferable Exts.Lazy and not new Lazy<T>().
- Added required STAThread attribute to CrashDialog.
- Removed unused parameters in private methods.
- Added Serializable attribute to exceptions.
- Added parameter name in calls to ArgumentNullException.
- Use of as operator instead of is + cast.
- Changed (x as Foo).Bar anti-pattern into ((Foo)x).Bar. Results in sensible cast exceptions on error rather than null dereferences.
- Removed unused method in NullShader.
List of changes:
* Better and more filters with new layout, for both mods.
* Rename/Delete/Detele all functionality.
* Simplified ReplayMetadata class considerably by introducing a new
GameInformation data object. The new GameInformation class contains
more information than previously available so the new solution is not
compatible with old replays, meaning it can't read old replays.
* Better and cleaner game information gathering in order to be written
at the end of the replay file.
* Revert changes to ReplayConnection, no longer necessary.
* Better exception message on missing sprites and fonts.
* New "SpawnOccupant" class that holds all the information needed by the
MapPreviewWidget to visualize a spawn point. It was using Session.Client
before and it was necessary to separate it to be able to show information
not available at lobby time.
* Fix keyboard focus UI bug when closing a window would not remove focus.
The replay files are just streams all network communication so to
get any info out of them it is necessary to play back the stream
until the wanted information is reached.
This introduces a new metadata block placed at the end of the
replay files and logic to read the new block, or fall back to
playing back the stream for older files.
The replay browser is also updated to use the metadata information
instead of reading the replay stream directly.
