Consolidating Debug Data Storage — Handmade Hero — Episode Guide

2:50Recap and set the stage for the day

4:36handmade_platform.h and handmade_debug.h: Point out the repeated code that could be compressed out

9:00handmade_debug.h: Make debug_variable contain debug_event Event

10:41handmade_platform.h: Move the data from debug_variable to debug_event

10:59handmade_platform.h: Make vectors and rectangles accessible as base types

12:22handmade_platform.h: Port the DEBUGValueSetEventData functions to use our new base types

13:14Anticipate mr4thdimention's editor 4coder

14:19Compile and fix compile errors

16:05Run the game and see that we're still passing the right values

16:15Anecdote: Some of the most productive work you will ever do will be with the delete key

16:43handmade_debug.h: Consider deleting some code

17:38handmade_debug_variables.h: #if 0 as much of this code as possible

18:34Make this stuff not happen^α

18:54handmade_debug.cpp: Look at a secondary value when we see a DebugVariableType_Event

19:38handmade_debug.cpp: Use the debug_event_types from handmade_platform.h

22:37handmade_platform.h: TODO(casey): Have the meta-parser ignore its own #define

23:16handmade_debug.cpp: Make DEBUGBeginInteract and DEBUGEndInteract use the other information

26:50handmade_debug.cpp: Capture any DebugEvent as a data block

27:53Run the game and find that the Tree was never initialised

28:28handmade_debug.cpp: Check that the Group exists

28:56Run the game and see that it's all well and good

29:16handmade_platform.h: Recap the changes

29:46handmade_platform.h: Introduce DebugEvent_FirstUIType to contain the DebugVariableType_ data

31:49handmade_platform.h: Rename DebugEvent and DebugEventType to DebugType

33:06handmade_debug.h: Change debug_variable_type to debug_type

33:52handmade_debug.cpp: Rename plenty to DebugType

35:31Run the game and see that everything is still working as expected

36:08handmade_debug.h: Remove debug_profile_settings

37:09handmade_platform.h: Add BitmapID and SoundID to debug_event

38:00handmade_debug.h: Remove debug_bitmap_display

38:07handmade_platform.h: Add the type definitions for bitmap_id and sound_id

39:18handmade_platform.h and handmade_debug.cpp: Propagate BitmapID

40:55handmade.cpp: Output a bitmap to our debug system

42:18Run the game and see that we are outputting a bitmap

42:59handmade_debug.h: Note that the debug_variable is disappearing

44:33handmade_debug.h: Consider the possibility of debug_variable_link storing the VarGroup

46:46handmade_debug.h: Add *Children to debug_variable_link

48:28handmade_debug.h: Remove VarGroup from debug_variable and rename *Children to *ChildSentinel

51:16handmade_debug.h: Introduce debug_variable_group to contain the Sentinel

53:58handmade_debug.cpp: Propagate these new structs

59:18Debugger: Inspect Iter->Link

1:00:18handmade_debug.cpp: Read through the routine

1:01:35handmade_debug.cpp: Set the Link->Children

1:02:01Run the game and note that we're getting a little bit closer

1:09:08tyroie I had an idea that's probably stupid. But I was wondering if a Vector that, when deleting an element, just left an empty spot that's skipped over when iterating, would still be cache friendly - and still efficient when deleting and inserting. This is slightly over my head though
