"For a general character pointer that may also point to binary data,
POINTER(c_char) must be used." c_char_p is for a zero-terminated string.

Applying this change to the 4.1.4 released python module fixes#2339 for
me in Ubuntu.
No effect on runtime speed/size. Slightly slower link time, but debugging experience improves by a million times.
- /Zi – Store debug information in a .pdb file, not directly in the DLL/EXE
- /DEBUG:FULL – generate debug information during link
- /PDBALTPATH:%_PDB% – do not store the file system path of the .pdb, just the filename and hash (no disclose paths on distribution)
- /OPT:REF /OPT:ICF – remove unreferenced functions and fold identical functions (this was enabled before, but requires explicit enabling if /DEBUG:FULL is specified)
The SIB importer, upon needing an empty aiString, did not create a new one but rather copied a predefined global empty string.
Since aiStrings contain large buffers, Assimp copied 1028 B of zeros instead of setting five bytes (at least when compiled with Visual C++). Since aiString is a user-defined type without a constexpr constructor, Visual C++ had to generate a thread-safe run-time initializer as well.
Now it’s just two instructions.
Maxon’s Melange SDK has been renamed Cineware SDK as of 21.004, and with it all namespaces and types. This commit
- makes CMake use contrib/Cineware instead of contrib/Melange;
- renames Assimp’s namespace melange to namespace cineware;
- removes useless functions and formatter references from class C4DImporter;
- removes duplicate conversion of cineware::String to aiString in the importer;
- updates comments accordingly;
- updates copyright info.
the purpose is use of this loader with idtech3 FS
this requires full original material name, which euqals to Q3 shader path
result of deduction is not usable inside Q3 FS at all
option in general is "do not tinker with the path"
