[Merged by Bors] - Add macro to implement reflect for struct types and migrate glam types by PROMETHIA-27 · Pull Request #4540 · bevyengine/bevy

PROMETHIA-27 · 2022-04-19T18:55:36Z

Objective

Relevant issue: #4474

Currently glam types implement Reflect as a value, which is problematic for reflection, making scripting/editor work much more difficult. This PR re-implements them as structs.

Solution

Added a new proc macro, impl_reflect_struct, which replaces impl_reflect_value and impl_from_reflect_value for glam types. This macro could also be used for other types, but I don't know of any that would require it. It's specifically useful for foreign types that cannot derive Reflect normally.

Changelog

Added

impl_reflect_struct proc macro

Changed

Glam reflect impls have been replaced with impl_reflect_struct
from_reflect's impl_struct altered to take an optional custom constructor, allowing non-default non-constructible foreign types to use it
Calls to impl_struct altered to conform to new signature
Altered glam types (All vec/mat combinations) have a different serialization structure, as they are reflected differently now.

Migration Guide

This will break altered glam types serialized to RON scenes, as they will expect to be serialized/deserialized as structs rather than values now. A future PR to add custom serialization for non-value types is likely on the way to restore previous behavior. Additionally, calls to impl_struct must add a None parameter to the end of the call to restore previous behavior.

To be compatible with non-constructible foreign types

for compatibility with non-default non-constructible foreign types

To address issues where `use bevy_reflect::Struct` is ambiguous when called from bevy_reflect

I could be wrong, but I believe this would break current scene formats which expect a tuple-like value:

{
  "type": "glam::vec3::Vec3",
  "value": (1.0, 1.0, 1.0),
},

This would then become:

{
  "type": "glam::vec3::Vec3",
  "struct": {
    "x": {
      "type": "f32",
      "value": 1.0
    },
    // ...
  },
},

This is probably okay, but worth mentioning in the migration guide at least.

PROMETHIA-27 · 2022-04-23T00:15:12Z

That makes sense. I'm having trouble confirming it from looking at bevy_serde, but I will try to test this soon. Will add it to the description.

MrGVSV

Overall, I think this is a good change. I was torn at first because I like the one-line tuples defined in the scene format, but I realize now that we can just define custom serde implementations if we really wanted to keep them like that. So I'm on board!

Left a few suggestions and some points for discussion.

One last thing I think this PR really needs is a set of tests. Could you also add some of those?

PROMETHIA-27 · 2022-04-23T18:46:00Z

I've verified that this change alters how glam types are serialized like you mentioned. If they're serialized directly, they work as normal (e.g. using serialize_ron() from bevy_scene::dynamic_scene) but when using ReflectSerializer they are unfolded as complex struct definitions. The reflect serializer/deserializer likely only respects custom serializers when that type is a value, not when it's a struct. Not sure where to proceed with that from here; maybe letting struct reflect types check for a custom serialization scheme and use that if present? I feel like that deserves its own PR though.

Yep this is currently the case. I addressed this in #4561 to hopefully allow custom implementations to be used. But either way I think you’re okay not worrying about serialization 🙂

PROMETHIA-27 · 2022-04-23T22:04:52Z

Nice! I'll keep working on the other suggestions in the meantime then.

This looks good. One nit about naming conventions; I didn't recognize ctor at a glance.
