* Adds save flag support (see `ElvenGlasses` for an example)
* Updates AOSAttributes so they are code genned
* Fixes embedded object support by adding an `IRawSerializable`
* Fixes various inconsistencies in serializing with codegen
* Adds code genning for embedded objects. See `AquariumState` as an example.
* Adds code genning for fields that are `Timer`. See `Aquarium` as an example.
* Codegens aquariums
* Fixes missing option for most primitive field types.
* Fixes pooled timer leaking
* Fixes `[dumptimers` command so it outputs properly, adds spacing, and stacktraces
* Adds `[Tidy]` for serializing Lists. This will remove deleted entities during world save before serializing the list.
* Adds helpers for managing Lists/Sets/Dictionaries
### New API
```cs
// Creates the list if it is null, then adds
Utility.Add(ref list, value);
Utility.Add(ref set, value);
Utility.Add(ref dict, key, value);
// Nulls the variable if the count is zero
Utility.Remove(ref list, value);
Utility.Remove(ref set, value);
Utility.Remove(ref dict, key);
// Marks entity as dirty in addition to doing the action
entity.Add(list, value);
// Marks entity as dirty, and will create list if it doesn't exist
entity.Add(ref list, value);
// Marks entity as dirty in addition to doing the action
entity.Remove(list, value);
// Marks entity as dirty, and will null the list count is zero
entity.Remove(ref list, value);
```
### Updates to [dumptimers

**Note for Rider users** Code generation only works with Rider v2021.1+. For Rider 2021.1.x you must set a global msbuild attribute so that the IDE can recognize generated code after building. JetBrains claims this will be fixed in Rider 2021.2.

**Note for VS 2019+ users**: Code generation requires completely cleaning your solution, doing a full build, closing VS 2019, and then opening the solution. This is a known issue and there are no plans to fix this multiple restart requirement for VS 2022 at this time.
- [X] Fixes bad `ReadEnum` by size
- [X] Fixes array, list, and set not handling null values properly.
- It will be up to the user (for now) to null out empty lists using `[AfterDeserialization]`. Convenience may be added later.
- [X] Fixes errors with `dotnet clean` and non-empty generation folder
- [X] Fixes bad field indexes on `Account.cs` causing `tags` to not be serialized/deserialized.
- This was caused by a duplicate entry. Don't have protection against this _yet_.
- [X] Fixes TimeSpan not working with codegen
- [X] Fixes bad check for generic classes with a serialize method and deserialize ctor
- [X] Moves Accounts to codegen so it is versioned
- [X] Fixes deserialization of old Accounts with no version variable.
- [X] Fixes deserialize seek not doing anything. 🙈
- [X] Adds Email to serialization
Roslyn Source generators are not supposed to access I/O. To get around this we have to use `AdditionalFiles` to give the analyzer access to read/load the schema files.
To write the schema files we have to use a separate program altogether.
- [X] Adds SerializationSchemaGenerator
- [X] Splits out the SerializationGenerator code
After speaking with the C# devs, it is clear that code gen is not ready.
I can get around this by doing the following:
1. Creating a library
2. Splitting out the schema writing from the source generator
3. Moving the schema loading to `AdditionalFiles`
4. Writing a new post-build application using Roslyn to write the schema files after building.
### Additions
- Automatically opts-out `Item/Mobile/Guild/Accounts` from dirty checking with a new property `UseDirtyChecking`
- Codegen now enables `UseDirtyChecking` via getter. This requires that the property is `virtual` for derived types.
### Fixes
- Fixes `EncodedInt` being broken
- Fixes issues with new custom serializable types that are not derived from Item/Mobile/etc.
- Removes double dirty checking.
### Example of a brand new serializable type that isn't an Item/Mobile/etc.
User created code:
```cs
using System;
namespace Server.Items
{
[Serializable(0)]
public partial class NewTestEntityObject : ISerializable
{
[EncodedInt]
[SerializableField(0)]
private int _someProperty;
public NewTestEntityObject()
{
SetTypeRef(GetType());
// Add to serial tracking like World.Item
/*
Serial = World.NewEntity;
World.AddEntity(this);
*/
}
[AfterDeserialization]
private void AfterDeserialization()
{
Console.WriteLine("This ran!");
}
public int TypeRef { get; }
public Serial Serial { get; }
public void Delete()
{
}
public bool Deleted { get; set; }
public void SetTypeRef(Type type)
{
// Type tracking for persistence goes here
/*
TypeRef = World.NewEntityTypes.IndexOf(type);
if (TypeRef == -1)
{
World.NewEntityTypes.Add(type);
TypeRef = World.NewEntityTypes.Count - 1;
}
*/
}
}
}
```
Generated code:
```cs
namespace Server.Items
{
public partial class NewTestEntityObject
{
#pragma warning disable 0414
private const int _version = 0;
#pragma warning restore 0414
public int SomeProperty
{
get => _someProperty;
set
{
if (value != _someProperty)
{
_someProperty = value;
((ISerializable)this).MarkDirty();
}
}
}
long ISerializable.SavePosition { get; set; } = -1;
BufferWriter ISerializable.SaveBuffer { get; set; }
bool ISerializable.UseDirtyChecking => true;
public NewTestEntityObject(Serial serial)
{
Serial = serial;
SetTypeRef(typeof(NewTestEntityObject));
}
public void Serialize(IGenericWriter writer)
{
writer.WriteEncodedInt(_version);
writer.WriteEncodedInt(SomeProperty);
}
public void Deserialize(IGenericReader reader)
{
var version = reader.ReadEncodedInt();
SomeProperty = reader.ReadEncodedInt();
Timer.DelayCall(AfterDeserialization);
}
}
}
```
- [X] Fixes an issue with ordering of properties in serialization.
- [X] Adds opt-in with existing properties.
Example:
```cs
private int _myExistingField;
[SerializableField(1)]
public int MyExistingProperty
{
get => _myExistingField;
set
{
if (value == 0)
{
Parent = null;
}
if (value != _myExistingField)
{
((ISerializable)this).MarkDirty();
_myExistingField = value;
}
}
}
```
Added the ability to execute arbitrary code after deserialization.
Example, let's say you want to delete an item after you deserialize it:
```cs
[AfterDeserialization]
private void OnAfterDeserialization()
{
Delete();
}
```
Generates this:
```cs
public override void Deserialize(IGenericReader reader)
{
base.Deserialize(reader);
var version = reader.ReadEncodedInt();
Timer.DelayCall(OnAfterDeserialization);
}
```
- [X] Adds Enum migration rule
- [X] Adds legacy version (writing full int for version field)
- [X] Adds encoded int attribute
- [X] Adds intern string attribute
- [X] Fixes missing base deserialize/serialize
### Features
* Fully abstracts serialization by using compile-time attributes.
* Supports serializing the following:
- Primitives (integers, strings, etc)
- IP Addresses
- BigDecimal
- DateTime, Delta DateTimes
- TimeSpan
- Server.Race
- Server.Map
- Point2D, Point3D, Rect2D, Rect3D
- Existing/New `ISerializable` references
- Lists/Sets of serializable types
- Type with a `Serialize` method and constructor that takes an `IGenericReader`
* Supports forward-only migration
* Supports existing RunUO deserialization for older versions by changing to the following signature:
- `public void OldDeserialize(IGenericReader reader, int version)`
- Must remove deserializing the version since this is already done
* Supports serializing from private fields or custom made properties.
* Types do not require inheriting Item/Mobile. Code gen will fully create `ISerializable` information.
- This is not recommended yet, since it requires wiring to `Persistence` which will cause lots of unresolved symbol errors until code gen is built.
### Example
```cs
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace Server.Items
{
[Serializable(1)]
public partial class TestItem1 : Item
{
[SerializableField(1)]
[SerializableFieldAttr("[CommandProperty(AccessLevel.Administrator)]")]
private List<Item> _someProperty;
private void Deserialize(IGenericReader reader, int version)
{
}
}
}
```
Generates this:
```cs
namespace Server.Items
{
public partial class TestItem1
{
#pragma warning disable 0414
private const int _version = 1;
#pragma warning restore 0414
[CommandProperty(AccessLevel.Administrator)]
public System.Collections.Generic.List<Server.Item> SomeProperty
{
get => _someProperty;
set
{
if (value != _someProperty)
{
((ISerializable)this).MarkDirty();
_someProperty = value;
}
}
}
public TestItem1(Serial serial) : base(serial)
{
}
public override void Serialize(IGenericWriter writer)
{
var savePosition = ((Server.ISerializable)this).SavePosition;
if (savePosition > -1)
{
writer.Seek(savePosition, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);
return;
}
writer.WriteEncodedInt(_version);
writer.Write(_someProperty);
}
public override void Deserialize(IGenericReader reader)
{
var version = reader.ReadEncodedInt();
if (version < 1)
{
OldDeserialize(reader, version);
((Server.ISerializable)this).MarkDirty();
return;
}
SomeProperty = reader.ReadEntityList<Server.Item>();
}
}
}
```
And this:
```json
{
"version": 1,
"type": "TestItem1",
"properties": [
{
"name": "SomeProperty",
"type": "System.Collections.Generic.List\u003CServer.Item\u003E",
"rule": "ListMigrationRule",
"ruleArguments": [
"Server.Item",
"SerializableInterfaceMigrationRule"
]
}
]
}
```
