Standardize and document naming for (system) dependencies | Vera

  • Discord message
  • Original discussion
  • Remove the prefix and suffix.
  • What about UIControllers, where there is SharedHandsSystem, HandsGUI, HandsUIController.
  • Keep it explicit with _handsSystem.
  • Make a maintainer vote for whether or not we enforce this (either an analyzer or as part of review.)

Debug vs DebugOpt vs Release vs ReleaseTools build configurations | PJB

  • Discord message
  • Yes
  • Release (closest to the launcher version) would be closer to what we have for the downloadable public build (FULL_RELEASE).
    • Can’t be compiled easily because of filepath changes.
  • Current release configuration (debug tools available) can become DebugOpt.
  • Current debug configuration is the new Debug configuration.
  • Tools (for mapping) is release with checks disabled and optimizations/tools enabled (tools is the launcher connect command).
  • to summarize:
    • Debug: optimizations disabled, asserts enabled, tools enabled.
    • DebugOpt: optimizations enabled, asserts enabled, tools enabled.
    • Tools: optimizations enabled, asserts disabled, tools enabled.
    • Release: optimizations, asserts and tools disabled. As close to the launcher builds as you’re gonna get while it stills runs from your repo.
  • Don’t disable exception tolerance in debug.

Medical refactor | Jezithyr
