* In C++ reference, only pick up classes defined in .h file
* Add a few excludes to C++ reference that aren't public API
* On class index pages, reduce number of columns
* Add @since for some methods/classes that are new in 1.10.0
* Fix/improve a few docstrings here and there
It's not really reasonable to expect a user to find every occurrence of a cached resource that might be using an open stream and remove it or crash otherwise.
This is fixed by keeping the multifile stream open as long as any substreams are still pointing to it, using a simplified reference counting (care is taken not to fully make StreamWrapper reference-counted, since it's not in express and existing uses should not be broken).

This changes includes so that local includes are consistently
#include "localFile.h"
while system and third-party includes are consistently
#include <systemFile.h>
This commit mostly converts the former to the latter; the two
exceptions are in android_main.cxx and fmodAudioSound.h, where
the reverse was necessary.
Although these aren't used outside of libpanda(express), they
are used by their neighboring component libraries, which means
they should be exported so that this works correctly when the
metalibs feature is disabled.
- display: GraphicsWindowProc should have a virtual destructor,
as it's meant to be subclassed.
- express: set_matrix_view helper should always fail an assert
when 'size' is wrong, even on release builds.
- express: Fix filename capitalization on some #includes.
They're normally Windows-only, where case doesn't
matter, but it's better to be consistent.
- gobj: Fix typo.
- particlesystem: Remove BaseParticle::_last_position.
Last position is tracked by PhysicsObject now.
- windisplay: Heed warnings about casting bool to (PVOID).
Also, per MSDN docs, SPI_SETMOUSETRAILS uses the
uiParam argument and ignores pvParam, so pass the
_saved_mouse_trails value in that way.
This is done using a Python extension function, which also happens to make the call more efficient as this avoids an extra copy. The C++ version still returns std::string as there is still a lot of C++ code that relies on that.
Fixes#297
Currently, the WeakPointerTo comparison operators compare the raw pointers, but this is not useful as it may cause a false equality if one weak pointer in the comparison is expired and points to memory that has since been reused.
Instead, we can define a comparison based on the control block pointer, which exists since the new weak pointer implementation in 0bb81a43c9. This is implemented in the owner_before method, matching C++11 std::weak_ptr semantics.
I would now recommend deprecating most comparison operators of WeakPointerTo or redefining them to make more sense, ie. comparing equal if they (once) referred to the same object and not if they simply point to the same memory address. This has not yet been done, though code that uses the comparison operators has been fixed in this commit.
Overloads of std::owner_less have been provided for creating a map or set with Weak(Const)PointerTo keys.
This is inefficient because it induces an unnecessary ref()/unref() pair when we just need to move the pointer out of the function. Thanks to 23128e4695, we can now move between related pointer types, making the .p() hack unnecessary.
This makes it possible to implicitly convert a PT of a derived type to a (C)PT of a base type, without needing to first convert it to a regular pointer. This also applies to moves, which are now more efficient due to the lack of need for ref/unref pair even if the pointer type is not exactly the same.
I'm not sure why they were ifdeffed out, but they should certainly be available so that it is possible to compare WeakPointerTo in a thread-safe manner.
This came up in #330; the Character destructor caused something to call lock() on a weak pointer to that character, which would induce a ref() and unref() pair, but since the refcount was 0, this would call the destructor and thereby create infinite recursion.
I considered instead calling mark_deleted() inside unref() so that the callbacks get to run before the object is actually deleted, and was_deleted() will become true as soon as unref() reaches 0. However, this would require grabbing the lock in unref() to be fully thread-safe, since we would need to bring the refcount to 0 and mark the object as deleted in one atomic operation, so this would be an unacceptable general performance penalty.
Instead, WeakPointerTo::lock() now atomically increments the reference count if it is not already zero, and returns null otherwise. This should be safe because the object cannot be deleted while the WeakReferenceList lock is held.
