The dynamic array macros made this much easier than last time I looked
at it, especially when it came to figuring out the bad memory accesses
that I seem to remember from my last attempt 9 years ago.
This makes tex_t more generally useable and probably more portable. The
goal was to be able to use tex_t with data that is in a separate chunk
of memory.
The sky texture is loaded with black's alpha set to 0. While this does
hit both layers, the screen is cleared to black so it shouldn't be a
problem (and will allow having a skybox behind the sheets).
Glow map and sky sheet and cube need to wait until I can get some
default textures going, but the world is rendering correctly otherwise
(though a tad dark: need to do a gamma setting).
It now uses the ring buffer code I wrote for qwaq (and forgot about,
oops) to handle the packets themselves, and the logic for allocating and
freeing space from the buffer is a bit simpler and seems to be more
reliable. The automated test is a bit of a joke now, though, but coming
up with good tests for it... However, nq now cycles through the demos
without obvious issue under the same conditions that caused the light
map update code to segfault.
Vulkan validation (quite rightly) doesn't like it when the flush range
goes past the end of the buffer, but also doesn't like it when the flush
range isn't cache-line aligned, so align the size of the buffer, too.
I had originally planned on mixing the stage management with general
texture support code like I did in glsl, but I think that was a mistake
and I did keep looking for scrap.[ch] when I wanted to edit something to
do with the scrap...
This cleans up texture_t and possibly even improves locality of
reference when running through texture chains (not profiled, and not
actually the goal).
It optionally generates mipmaps, and supports the main texture types
(especially for texture packs), including palettes, but is otherwise
rather unsophisticated code. Needs a lot of work, but testing first.
Cleans up global space and makes it usable in multiple contexts. Also,
max quads dropped to 32k as each frame now has its own vertex buffer to
avoid issues with vertex overwrites (which I have seen). However, all
vertex buffers are in the one memory/buffer object (using offsets) and
the index buffer has been moved into a device-local memory object.
I think I did two as a bit of a ring buffer, but the new ring buffer
system used inside a staging buffer makes it less necessary. Also, the
staging buffer is now a fair bit bigger (4M is probably not really
enough)
This allows the array in which the command buffers are allocated to be
allocated on the stack using alloca and thus remove the need to
malloc/free of relatively small chunks.
The scrap texture did very good things for the glsl renderer and the
better control over data copying might help it do even better things for
vulkan, especially with lots of little icons.
It's never actually used (the texture can be fetched using
GLSL_ScrapTexture) and gets in the way of sharing the scrap system with
the vulkan renderer.
r_screen because of SCR_UpdateScreen, and r_cvar because the cvars
really should never have been in a plugin in the first place (and
r_screen needed access).
First pixels! This was a nightmare of little issues that the validation
layers couldn't help with: incorrect input assembly, incorrect vertex
attribute specs. Though the layers did help with getting the queues
working. Still, lots of work to go but this is a major breakthrough as
I now have access to visual debugging for textures and the like.
Short wrappers for Draw functins are in vid_render_vulkan.c so the
vulkan context can be passed on to the actual functions. The 2D shaders
are set up similar to those in glsl, but with full 32-bit color (rgba)
support instead of paletted. However, the textures are not loaded yet,
nor is anything bound.
The prototypes for handle parsers needed to be changes because it turned
out "single" was inappropriate for handles as "single" allocates memory
for the parsed object, but handles must be written directly.
The way I wound up using the field meant that exprctx should not "own"
the hashlinks chain, but rather just point to it. This fixes the nasty
access errors I had.
Dependencies on vkparse.hinc were spreading through the code which I
didn't want as that removes a lot of the automation from the automake
files. This keeps all parser code internal to vkparse.c's scope, and any
accesses required for enum and struct (not yet) definitions can be
fetched by name.
I want to be able to use name references, but that requires string
items, so anything that would normally be dictionary or array (or
binary, even) would also need to accept string. This seemed to be the
cleanest solution. Any custom parser would then need to check the type
and act appropriately, but any inappropriate types have already been
pre-filtered by the standard parsers.
Care needs to be taken to ensure the right function is used with the
right arguments, but with these, the need to use qconj(d|f) for a
one-off inverse rotation is removed.
They're binned by powers of two (with in between sizes going to the
smaller bin should I make cache-line allocations NPOT (which I think
might be worthwhile). However, there seems to still be a bug somewhere
causing a nasty leak as now my hacked qfvis consumes 40G in less than a
minute.
The idea is to not search through blocks for an available allocation.
While the goal was to speed up allocation of cache lines of varying
cluster sizes, it's not enough due to fragmentation.
They take advantage of gcc's vector_size attribute and so only cross,
dot, qmul, qvmul and qrot (create rotation quaternion from two vectors)
are needed at this stage as basic (per-component) math is supported
natively by gcc.
The provided functions work on horizontal (array-of-structs) data, ie a
vec4d_t or vec4f_t represents a single vector, or traditional vector
layout. Vertical layout (struct-of-arrays) does not need any special
functions as the regular math can be used to operate on four vectors at
a time.
Functions are provided for loading a vec4 from a vec3 (4th element set
to 0) and storing a vec4 into a vec3 (discarding the 4th element).
With this, QF will require AVX2 support (needed for vec4d_t). Without
support for doubles, SSE is possible, but may not be worthwhile for
horizontal data.
Fused-multiply-add is NOT used because it alters the results between
unoptimized and optimized code, resulting in -mfma really meaning
-mfast-math-anyway. I really do not want to have to debug issues that
occur only in optimized code.
The static variable meant that Fog_GetColor was not thread-safe (though
multiple calls in the one thread look to be ok for now). However, this
change takes it one step closer to being more generally usable.
Patch found in an old stash.
Shaders can be built as spv files and installed into
$libdir/quakeforge/shaders or as spvc files and compiled into the
engine. Loading supports $builtin/name to access builtin shaders,
$shader/path to access external standard shaders and quake filesystem
access for all other paths.
I had forgotten that msaa samples was governed by the driver (as a max)
and the renderpass setup code simply took the max. Thus why 1 vs 8
caused the display to render incorrectly.
It is capable of parsing single expressions with fairly simple
operations. It current supports ints, enums, cvars and (external) data
structs. It is also thread-safe (in theory, needs proper testing) and
the memory it uses can be mass-freed.
This was inspired by
Hoard: A Scalable Memory Allocator
for Multithreaded Applications
Emery D. Berger, Kathryn S. McKinley, Robert D. Blumofe, Paul R.
Wilson,
It's not anywhere near the same implementation, but it did take a few
basic concepts. The idea is twofold:
1) A pool of memory from which blocks can be allocated and then freed
en-mass and is fairly efficient for small (4-16 byte) blocks
2) Tread safety for use with the Vulkan renderer (and any other
multi-threaded tasks).
However, based on the Hoard paper, small allocations are cache-line
aligned. On top of that, larger allocations are page aligned.
I suspect it would help qfvis somewhat if I ever get around to tweaking
qfvis to use cmem.
The calculation fails (produces NaN) if the vectors are anti-parallel,
but works for all other combinations. I came up with this implementation
when I discovered Unity's Quaternion.FromToRotation could did not work
with very small angles. This implementation will produce a usable
quaternion below 0.00255 degrees (though it will be slightly larger than
unit). Unity's failed such that I could see KSP's skybox snap while it
rotated around my test vessel.
PL_ParseDictionary itself does only one level, but it takes care of the
key-field mappings and property list item type checking leaving the
actual parsing to a helper specified by the field. That helper is free
to call PL_ParseDictionary recursively.
The first line of the parsed item is stored and can be retrieved using
PL_Line. Line numbers not stored for dictionary keys yet. Will be 0 for
any items generated by code rather than parsed from a file or string.
