In November 2024, Alexander Yanovskyy focused on improving the build system for the shadPS4 repository by addressing the handling of the optional Discord RPC feature. He enhanced the C++ build process to ensure that the ENABLE_DISCORD_RPC flag reliably includes or excludes related code, using conditional compilation and careful management of include paths. This work reduced build errors when the feature is disabled, both in continuous integration and local environments. By refining the build system with C++ and build system expertise, Alexander strengthened the project’s maintainability and made it easier to support optional features without introducing future regressions.
