`RemoveItem()` method for `AssociativeArray()` is now able to deallocate
keys. `Empty()` method is now defined in a `Collectino` class and allows
users to recursively free nested collections, while deallocating their
keys.
This method did not do any checks for validity of its parameters and its
behavior wasn't consistent in that it woldn't set specified config in
case `Feature` was already enabled. Now it will.
I shamefully ended up doing another mega-commit, because a lot of things
needed to be redone at once and it was easier that way on me. No one
really consistently tracks what I'm doing with these commits anyway.
This adds a whole bunch of code to deal with proper clean up for Acedia,
so it doesn't crash on map change and also replaces old event/listener
system with new signals/slots one.
- Basic Cleanup methods added;
- Static finalizers for custom cleanup added;
- Actors no longer support object pools because storing them inside
objects is dangerous.
We cannot rely on `Feature`'s static constructor to be called for every
feature class, so we move out relevant code into separate
`LoadConfigs()` method.
Previously `_textCache` relied on static constructor inside base classes
`AcediaObject` / `AceduaActor` to be created and filled with necessary
data. This was faulty approach, since their static constructor was only
ever supposed to be called once.
This patch moves `_textCache` creation into `_constructor()` and `T()`,
`P()`, `C()`, `F()` methods.
Make decoder work with byte arrays containing a single complete text,
instead of byte streams with several separate texts.
Moved codecs into "Text" category.
This patch changes how `Feature`s configs work - they are now required
to use a separate config object (each `Feature` their own class, derived
from `FeatureConfig`) that is to be used as a `perconfigobject` storage.
`Feature`s themselves are not supposed to interact with their config
objects directly, instead using JSON-serializable type, which should
allow us a universal way to change `Feature`'s config variables during
execution.
Now Acedia collections provide functionality of `Get...ByPointer()`
method (that allows to fetch values nested into several collection by
JSON pointers) for both `JSONPointer` and `Text` classes.
Previously, each use of `Get...ByPointer()` method caused convertion of
a `Text` into `JSONPointer`, even if used `Text` value did not change.
This patch allows to create `JSONPointer` once and them use that as a
parameter, which should be much faster.
Add method for checking whether certain `Text` is empty (`none` or has
zero recorded characters).
Add methods for converting and deallocation (in the same action) passed
`Text` value into the `string`.
