This is better for performance because these then don't need to be reevaluated every time they are called.
When encountering an unqualified function or constant reference, PHP will first try to locate a symbol in the current namespace by that name, and then fall back to the global namespace.
This short-circuits the check, which has substantial performance effects in some cases - in particular, ord(), chr() and strlen() show ~1500x faster calls when they are fully qualified.
However, this doesn't mean that PM is getting a massive amount faster. In real world terms, this translates to about 10-15% performance improvement.
But before anyone gets excited, you should know that the CodeOptimizer in the PreProcessor repo has been applying fully-qualified symbol optimizations to Jenkins builds for years, which is one of the reasons why Jenkins builds have better performance than home-built or source installations.
We're choosing to do this for the sake of future SafePHP integration and also to be able to get rid of the buggy CodeOptimizer, so that phar and source are more consistent.
This has the triple bonus effect of a) making a lot of code easier to read, b) reducing Server::getInstance() usages, and c) removing a whole bunch of Server dependencies.
The network and block namespaces are untouched by this commit due to potential for merge conflicts. These should be dealt with separately on master.
As of 1.2.13 release, the client now skips the crafting grid step when it crafts with right-click on the recipe book. This means that we can't validate crafting based on the crafting grid contents anymore. The only way to do it now is to use the inputs and outputs calculated by the transaction balance.
Returning false all the time could mean any one of a range of things. Throwing exceptions is better in that it allows us to catch them and see what actually broke.
This commit brings in a much-needed rewrite of crafting transaction handling.
The following classes have been removed:
- CraftingTransferMaterialAction
- CraftingTakeResultAction
The following classes have significant changes:
- CraftingTransaction
- All API methods have been removed and are now handled in CraftItemEvent
- CraftItemEvent
- added the following:
- getInputs()
- getOutputs()
- getRepetitions() (tells how many times a recipe was crafted in this event)
- Recipe interface:
- Removed getResult() (individual recipes may handle this differently)
- CraftingRecipe interface
- removed the following:
- matchItems()
- getExtraResults()
- getAllResults()
- added the following
- getResults()
- getIngredientList() : Item[], which must return a 1D array of items that should be consumed (wildcards accepted).
- matchesCraftingGrid(CraftingGrid)
- ShapedRecipe
- constructor now accepts string[], Item[], Item[]
- ShapelessRecipe
- constructor now accepts Item[], Item[]
This now handles the case where there are multiple options which could be taken, and opts for the first result which successfully ties all the actions together. Previously it would be entirely down to chance (ordering) whether the actions would get ordered successfully.
this is not an optimal solution because you'll still only get 1 crafting
event when the user actually crafted a lot of items, so this isn't very
nice for plugins to work with. However, for gameplay purposes it works,
so it'll do for now.
