I've been meaning to fix this for over 6 years, and just kept
forgetting.
Previously ILuaContext.executeMainThreadTask worked by running
ILuaContext.issueMainThreadTask, pulling task_complete events, and then
returning the results.
While this makes the implementation simple, it means that the task's
results were converted into Lua values (in order to queue the event) and
then back into Java ones (when the event was pulled), before eventually
being converted into Lua once more.
Not only is this inefficient, as roundtripping isn't lossless, you
couldn't return functions or rich objects from main thread functions
(see https://github.com/dan200/ComputerCraft/issues/125).
We now store the return value on the Java side and then return that when
the receiving the task_complete event - the event no longer carries the
result. Note this does not affect methods using issueMainThreadTask!
- Correctly handle FileOperationExceptions for the root mount.
- Remove some checks from MountWrapper: Mount/WritableMount should do
these already!
- Normalise file paths, always using a '/'.
- Separate FileMount into separate FileMount and WritableFileMount
classes. This separates the (relatively simple) read-only code from
the (soon to be even more complex) read/write code.
It also allows you to create read-only mounts which don't bother with
filesystem accounting, which is nice.
- Make openForWrite/openForAppend always return a SeekableFileHandle.
Appendable files still cannot be seeked within, but that check is now
done on the FS side.
- Refactor the various mount tests to live in test contract interfaces,
allowing us to reuse them between mounts.
- Clean up our error handling a little better. (Most) file-specific code
has been moved to FileMount, and ArchiveMount-derived classes now
throw correct path-localised exceptions.
In classic squid tradition: 20% code, and 80% test logic.
Closes#962. Alas, whoever reported this has deleted their account, so
they can't even be happy about it :(.
- Remove deprecated API members in prep for 1.19.3. This allows us to
remove the mc-stubs and forge-stubs projects.
- Make several methods take a MinecraftServer instead of a Level (or
nothing at all).
- Remove I prefixes from a whole bunch of interfaces, making things a
little more consistent with Java conventions.
This avoids touching the "main" interfaces people consume for now. I
want to do that another Minecraft version, to avoid making the update
too painful.
- Remove IFileSystem and associated getters. This has never worked very
well and I don't think has got much (any?) usage.
- Publish javadoc again: for now this is just the common-api
- Remove all dependencies from the published Forge jar. This is
technically not needed (fg.deobf does this anyway), but seems
sensible.
We'll do this everywhere eventually, but much easier to do it
incrementally:
- Use checker framework to default all field/methods/parameters to
@Nonnull.
- Start using ErrorProne[1] and NullAway[2] to check for possible null
pointer issues. I did look into using CheckerFramework, but it's much
stricter (i.e. it's actually Correct). This is technically good, but
is a much steeper migration path, which I'm not sure we're prepared
for yet!

It should be possible to consume the ComputerCraft's core (i.e.
non-Minecraft code) in other projects, such as emulators. While this
has been possible for years, it's somewhat tricky from a maintenance
perspective - it's very easy to accidentally add an MC dependency
somewhere!
By publishing a separate "core" jar, we can better distinguish the
boundaries between our Lua runtime and the Minecraft-specific code.
Ideally we could have one core project (rather than separate core and
core-api modules), and publish a separate "api" jar, like we do for the
main mod. However, this isn't really possible to express using Maven
dependencies, and so we must resort to this system.
Of course, this is kinda what the Java module system is meant to solve,
but unfortunately getting that working with Minecraft is infeasible.
