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.
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.
This allows deleting lots of code, and additionally provides a huge reduction in the compressed size of CraftingDataPacket. Since we don't care about these UUIDs (they are only used in CraftingEventPacket, which is broken and unused in PM) we fill them with zeros instead.
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[]
