Now you can register standard function pointers, instead of deriving
from a special class. This means that Steam and the opensource code
can now work the same, so this fixed issue #124
This is used to poll many connections in a single function call. Previously,
this was only possible if all of the connections were those accepted on the
same listen socket. (ReceiveMessagesOnListenSocket). But this left out at
least two important use cases with known users:
- If you create more than one listen socket (because there is more way to
contact your service, e.g. once for P2P and another for direct IP, and
another for relayed connections), then you could not poll all of the
connections efficiently.
- In P2P use cases, we may initiate many connections to peers, and we want
to poll all of them at once.
This change is relevant to: Issue #49, Issue #50, and issue #52. (But I don't
this it really "fixes" any of them.)
Also:
- STEAMNETWORKINGSOCKETS_STEAM now mens "running on steam", not "running using
the steam client". STEAMNETWORKINGSOCKETS_STEAMCLIENT is for that.
- Refactored stats stuff, moved it into the namespace. At one point I thought
I might expose some stuff in a public interface. For now, keeping it internal.
- Removed concept of Steam "universe" from this branch of the code.
- Don't use OVERRIDE, override works.
Moved them to ISteamNetworkingUtils, which is now actually shared Steam (mostly) with a real accessor and and interface, and not a dummy interface object with all static methods.
Connection settings have a system of inheritance, so they can be set globally, per SteamNetworkingSockets interface, per listen socket, or per connection.
Deleted the config variable to simulate fake *message* loss. That is not useful.
Introduced STEAMNETWORKINGSOCKETS_ENABLE_SDR define, to make it more clear why code is being #ifdef'ed out. (E.g. if we open-sourced that code, we would want that included.)
Replaced ESteamNetworkingSendType with a basic flags bitmask.
Cleaned up a bunch of comments.
Changed SteamNetworkingMessage_t release mechanism. Now the callback is only to free the buffer, and it's assumed that this API will manage the actual objects. (This is important because the actual type is a derived type and has extra stuff on the end.) Also laid some groundwork for user management of message objects. (Relevant for issue #51.)
Make it a method of ISteamnetworkingUtils method. This matches Steam.
Make sure ESteamNetworkingSocketsDebugOutputType is 32-bits, and declare the output callback to take an enum instead of int.
