I had forgotten to test with shared libs and it turns out jack and alsa
were directly accessing symbols in the renderer (and in jack's case,
linking in a duplicate of the renderer).
Fixes#16.
on_update is for pull-model outpput targets to do periodic synchronous
checks (eg, checking that the connection to the actual output device is
still alive and reviving it if necessary)
Output plugins can use either a push model (synchronous) or a pull
model (asynchronous). The ALSA plugin now uses the pull model. This
paves the way for making jack output a simple output plugin rather than
the combined render/output plugin it currently is (for #16) as now
snd_dma works with both models.
This gets the alsa target working nicely for mmapped outout. I'm not
certain, but I think it will even deal with NPOT buffer sizes (I copied
the code from libasound's sample pcm.c, thus the uncertainty).
Non-mmapped output isn't supported yet, but the alsa target now works
nicely for pull rendering.
However, some work still needs to be done for recovery failure: either
disable the sound system, or restart the driver entirely (preferable).
This brings the alsa driver in line with the jack render (progress
towards #16), but breaks most of the other drivers (for now: one step at
a time). The idea is that once the pull model is working for at least
one other target, the jack renderer can become just another target like
it should have been in the first place (but I needed to get the pull
model working first, then forgot about it).
Correct state checking is not done yet, but testsound does produce what
seems to be fairly good sound when it starts up correctly (part of the
state checking (or lack thereof), I imagine).
This failed with errors such as:
from ./include/QF/simd/vec4d.h:32,
from libs/util/simd.c:37:
./include/QF/simd/vec4d.h: In function ‘qmuld’:

Support for finding the first address associated with a source line was
added to the engine, returning 0 if not found.
A temporary breakpoint is set and the progs allowed to run free.
However, better handling of temporary breakpoitns is needed as currently
a "permanent" breakpoint will be cleared without clearing the temporary
breakpoing if the permanent breakpoing is hit while execut-to-cursor is
running.
For now, just bsearch (normal and fuzzy), qsort, and prefixsum (not in
C's stdlib that I know of, but I think having native implementations of
float and int prefix sums will be useful.
Fuzzy bsearch is useful for finding an entry in a prefix sum array
(value is >= ele[0], < ele[1]), and the reentrant version is good when
data needs to be passed to the compare function. Adapted from the code
used in pr_resolve.
GCC does a fairly nice job of producing code for vector types when the
hardware doesn't support SIMD, but it seems to break certain math
optimization rules due to excess precision (?). Still, it works well
enough for the core engine, but may not be well suited to the tools.
However, so far, only qfvis uses vector types (and it's not tested yet),
and tools should probably be used on suitable machines anyway (not
forces, of course).
I don't know that the cache line size is 64 bytes on 32 bit systems, but
it should be ok to assume that 64-byte alignment behaves well on systems
with smaller cache lines so long as they are powers of two. This does
mean there is some waste on 32-bit systems, but it should be fairly
minimal (32 bytes per memblock, which manages page sized regions).
The Blend macro supports any non-integral type supporting * and +
(float, double, vec4f_t, etc), so it is essentially a scalar VectorBlend
or QuatBlend.
Standard quake has just linear, but the modding community added inverse,
inverse-square (raw and offset (1/(r^2+1)), infinite (sun), and
ambient (minlight). Other than the lack of shadows, marcher now looks
really good.
Mostly, this gets the stage flags in with the barrier, but also adds a
couple more barrier templates. It should make for slightly less verbose
code, and one less opportunity for error (mismatched barrier/stages).
This gets the shaders needed for creating shadow maps, and the changes
to the lighting pipeline for binding the shadow maps, but no generation
or reading is done yet. It feels like parts of various systems are
getting a little big for their britches and I need to do an audit of
various things.
QF now uses its own configuration file (quakeforge.cfg for now) rather
than overwriting config.cfg so that people trying out QF in their normal
quake installs don't trash their config.cfg for other quake clients. If
quakeforge.cfg is present, all other config files are ignored except
that quake.rc is scanned for a startdemos command and that is executed.
And improve the generated code for MSG_ReadShort
I suspect gcc didn't like all the excess pointer dereferences and so
couldn't assume that the bytes were being read sequentially.
And improve the generated code as well (ie, use a code sequence that gcc
recognizes and optimizes to a single 32-bit read and a byte-swap).
nq uses big-endian for its packet headers (arg, though it is consistent
with IP, it's not with the rest of quake).
I'm not sure that the mismatch between refdef_t and the assembly defines
was a problem (many fields unused), but the main problem was due to
execute permission on the pages: one chunk of asm was in the data
section, and the patched code was not marked as being executable (due to
such a thing not existing when quake was written).
vid.aspect is removed (for now) as it was not really the right idea (I
really didn't know what I was doing at the time). Nicely, this *almost*
fixes the fov bug on fresh installs: the view is now properly
upside-down rather than just flipped vertically (ie, it's now rotated
180 degrees).
Not only does it makes sense to centralize the setting of viewport and
scissor, but it's actually necessary in order to fix the upside-down
rendering on windows.
It turns out the dd and dib "driver" code is very specific to the
software renderer. This does not fix the segfault on changing video
mode, but I do know where the problem lies: the window is being
destroyed and recreated without recreating the buffers. I suspect a
clean solution to this will allow for window resizing in X as well.
