Tracy is a frame profiler: https://github.com/wolfpld/tracy
This uses Tracy's C API to instrument the code (already added in several
places). It turns out there is something very weird with the fence
behavior between the staging buffers and render commands as the
inter-frame delay occurs in a very strangle place (in the draw code's
packet acquisition rather than the fence waiter that's there for that
purpose). I suspect some tangled dependencies.
As I expect to be tweaking things for a while, it's part of the build
process. This will make it a lot easier to adjust mnemonics and argument
formats (tweaking the old table was a pain when conventions changed).
It's not quite done as it still needs arg widths and types.
The configuration file had been renamed.
Also, mention docstrap in INSTALL and make the documentaion configure check
for the required tools (doxygen, dot (graphvis), mscgen, and transfig).
This version is a bit more useful, and we should be able to get rid of the
Stack class. Also, the Ruamoko parts of the autorelease system should be
almost ready now.
MOD_TraceLine now behaves the same as id's SV_RecursiveHullCheck (from
WinQuake). This means that even if the trace would escape from solid space
into non-solid space, the trace is treated as allsolid if it crosses from
one solid space to another before hitting the empty space.
trace-id.c is used only for establishing the behaviour of id's code.
We need to figure out a way to make docs in unusual places, like in the
SourceForge shell environment -- which doesn't have an extremely recent
autotools. This is an extremely stripped-down automake/autoconf setup that
provides the bare minimum needed to AC_SUBST variables.
It's dirty and hacky, but it kinda works.
