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.
