Builtin functions are functions in QuakeC that perform a callback to a function within the engine itself. This was done to improve performance as some tasks were too expensive to do within QuakeC itself. They're declared by creating a function prototype and assigning it to an index within the internal builtin table.
+
[[QuakeC]] uses builtin functions to call bits of C code that can do 'jobs' for the QC that otherwise can't be done. Some functions affect the game world, some modify variables, and some maintain file lists for the engine. Each of the original functions are detailed below. Please note that builtin parameters/types/etc might differ between [[Quake]] and [[Hexen II]].
−
    returntype(datatype param1) functionname = #[index];
 
−
[index] in this case is the actual index of the function within the builtin table. This is not exposed to QuakeC at all so validation must be done by checking the table within the engine itself. For instance, <code>makevectors()</code> is defined as
 
−
    void(vector ang) makevectors = #1;
 
−
since the corresponding internal function is at index 1 within the table.
