godex: Unable to build Godot with C# support and Godex

From looking at the Setup and the Compiling with Mono Godot docs page, I ran the following commands to hopefully enable C# support along with Godex:

scons -j8 p=windows target=release_debug tools=yes module_mono_enabled=yes mono_glue=no custom_modules="../godex" mono_prefix="C:\Program Files\Mono"

Glue generation: .\bin\godot.windows.opt.tools.64.mono.exe --generate-mono-glue .\modules\mono\glue

We definitely don’t want to generate a class named System, because it will result in many ambiguity errors. It would be like calling your C++ class std, except C# doesn’t use :: for resolving namespaces, so the compiler can’t know if you want the class or the namespace. Placing that class in a different namespace, may not result in ambiguity errors when compiling the bindings, but it will result in that for whoever is using/importing that namespace.

One option is for the bindings’ generator to just rename System to System_, or SystemClass, or something like that, to remove ambiguity. This is the easiest solution, and it could be implemented right away today.

The other option is to generate a class named GodexSystem. I don’t suppose you want to change the name of the C++ class, so it will require some special handling by the bindings’ generator. Either we add some kind of metadata information in ClassDB that informs that a class can go into the specified namespace, our we hard-code the C# bindings’ generator to rename System to GodexSystem. The latter assumes the class comes from Godex, which may not be the case if there’s another ECS module in the future.

I’ll look into this next Saturday after I’m done with other tasks, and I need to make sure not to break code that assumes class names.

Note: We chatted about this in discord and we contacted the Godot team to have support for that, here the discord chat link: https://discord.com/channels/797456114404163625/797456114404163630/852560754611322930

Great!

FWIW, Godot 4 is in the process of moving off of mono, onto dotnet6. It still uses a similar “generated glue” approach, but it could be different enough/more modern such that it avoids this issue. I’ve been testing out the dotnet6 branch recently but haven’t tried to build godex on it. I’ve no idea if it’ll make a difference, but I’ll give it a go when I can.
