Id's comments are a little inconsistent, but for the most part usable
info can be extracted. While not yet supported, Arcane Dimensions'
comments are extremely consistent (just some issues with hyphen counts
in separators), so parsing out usable info will be fairly easy. The hard
part will be presenting it.
Enabled by 'developer lighting'. It was good for confirming that the
lights in ad_e1m1 (Doom Hangar 16) were actually being output (over 600
of them sometimes, ouch). Turned out to be the color scale ambiguity.
The pitch cvars are taken from quakespasm because I ran into a button I
couldn't shoot with the 80 degree limit, but I figured I'd add roll
limits while I was at it.
Surfaces marked with SURF_DRAWALPHA but not SURF_DRAWTURB are put in a
separate queue for the water shader and run with a turb scale of 0.
Also, entities with colormod alpha < 1 are marked to go in the same
queue as SURF_DRAWALPHA surfaces (ie, no SURF_DRAWTURB unless the
model's texture indicated such).
Textures whose names start with a { are meant to be rendered with
transparency. Surfaces using those textures are marked with
SURF_DRAWALPHA.
Unfortunately, the mip levels of ad_tears' transparent textures use the
wrong color so only the highest LOD works properly, but those textures
are meant to be loaded from external files anyway, it seems.
The method is still held by known_methods, so freeing it causes grief.
However, it may cause a leak thus the free is only commented out. More
investigation is needed. I'm surprised the problem didn't show on linux,
but cygwin-native hit it and valgrind on linux found the spot :)
It seems to have been deprecated. This gets --host builds working,
although some libs don't work properly due to having only dlls and I
guess mingw stuff isn'n on any paths.
While it does get a bit cluttered currently, being able to see the
contents of structures makes a huge difference. Also highlights that
vector immediates do not get the correct type encodings.
PR_Debug_ValueString prints the value at the given offset using the
provided type to format the string. The formatted string is appended to
the provided dstring.
This fixes the internal error generated by the likes of
`(sv_gravity * '0 0 1')` where sv_gravity is a float and `'0 0 1'` is an
ivec3: the vector is promoted to vec3 first so that expanding sv_gravity
is expanded to vec3 instead of ivec3 (which is not permitted for a
float: expansion requires the destination base type to be the same as
the source).
For now, anyway, as the generated code looks good. There might be
problems with actual pointer expressions, but it allows entity.field to
work as expected rather than generate an ICE.
For whatever reason, building under MXE (for windows) causes FLAC to try
to use dll import references, but setting FLAC__NO_DLL before including
FLAC/export.h fixes the issue.
-describe is sent to the object, and the returned string passed back.
There is a worry about the lifetime of the returned string as there's
currently no way of both ensuring it doesn't get freed prematurely and
ensuring it does eventually get freed.
If no handler has been registered, then the corresponding parameter is
printed as a pointer but with surrounding brackets (eg, [0xfc48]). This
will allow the ruamoko runtime to implement object printing.
The resultant unicode is encoded as utf-8, which does conflict with the
quake character map, but right now unicode is useful only with font
text, and those support only standard unicode (currently only as utf-8),
but something will need to be sorted out.
Arrays are passed as a pointer to the first element, so are always valid
parameters. Fixes a bogus "formal parameter N is too large to be passed
by value" error.
Due to the mis-initialization of the union used to parse the color
vector, the intensity was incorrectly set to zero and thus the light
dropped, meaning that all lights in ad_tears were lost.
While swizzle does work, it requires the source to be properly aligned
and thus is not really the best choice. The extend instruction has no
alignment requirements (at all) and thus is much better suited to
converting a scalar to a vector type.
Fixes#30
The extend instruction is for loading narrower data types into wider
data types, eg, single element into 2, 3, or 4 element types, with a
small set of extension schemes: 0, 1, -1, copy (for 1->any and 2 -> 4).
Possibly most importantly, it works with unaligned data.
Progress towards #30
It seems clang loses track of the usage of the referenced unions by the
time the code leaves the switch. Due to the misoptimization, "random"
values would get into the vector constants. This puts the usages in the
same blocks as the unions, causing clang to "get it right" (though I
strongly suspect I was running into UB).
While I might need to tighten up the rules later, this allows binary
operations between vector (the type) and explicitly typed vec3 constants
(and non-constants, about which I am undecided). The idea is that
explicit constants such as '1 2 3'f should be compatible with either
type.
This applies to quaternions as well.
As a class's ivars are built up by inheritance, but with only that
class's ivars in the symbol table, is is necessary to include an offset
based on the super class's ivars in order to ensure alignments are
respected. This is achieved via the new `base` parameter to
build_struct(), which is used to offset the current size while
calculating the aligned offset of the symbols. The parameter is ignored
for unions, as they always start at 0. The ivars for the current class
still have a base offset of 0 until they are actually added to the
class.
Fixes#29
The alignment is specified as a power of 2 (ie, actual alignment = 1 <<
alignment) allowing old object files to be compatible (as their
alignment is 0). This is necessary for (in part for #30) as it turned
out even global vectors were not aligned correctly.
Currently, only data spaces even vaguely respect alignment. This may
need to be fixed in the future.
Most were pretty easy and fairly logical, but gib's regex was a bit of a
pain until I figured out the real problem was the conditional
assignments.
However, libs/gamecode/test/test-conv4 fails when optimizing due to gcc
using vcvttps2dq (which is nice, actually) for vector forms, but not the
single equivalent other times. I haven't decided what to do with the
test (I might abandon it as it does seem to be UD).
This gets ambient sounds (in particular, water and sky) working again
for quakeworld after the recent sound changes, and again for nq after I
don't know how long.
Because the calculation didn't take the hunk header size (which is not
included in the hunk size) into account, the conversion to MB was one
short and thus the rounding up to the next 8 MB boundary was giving the
current total hunk size (ie, the already given size). Most confusing to
a user ("But I already asked for 128MB!").
It turns out that copying just "unknown" is a significant performance
hit when doing over 100M allocations. Making Hunk_RawAlloc the core and
initializing the name field with a single 0 shaved about a second off
`qfvis gmsp3v2.bsp` (from about 39s to about 38s).
My reason for using Hunk_HighAlloc for allocating cache blocks was to
lock them down so they were safe for the sound mixer to access when
running in a real-time thread. However, I had never tested under tight
memory constraints, which proved that the design (or maybe just
implementation) just wasn't robust. However, now that sounds are loaded
into a completely separate region, it's safe to put the cache back to
its original behaviour (still with 64-byte alignment and such, of
course). This will even allow the high hunk to be used again, though it
effectively was anyway with Hunk_TempAlloc.
I never liked "cache" as a name because it said where the sound was
stored rather than how it was loaded/played, but "stream" is ok, since
that's pretty much spot on. I'm not sure "block" is the best, but it at
least makes sense because the sounds are loaded as a single block (as
opposed to being streamed). An now, neither use the cache system.
Nuclear powered audio ;)
More seriously, use _Atomic on a few fields that very obviously need it.
That is, channel's buffer pointer (used to signal to the mixer that the
channel is ready for use) and "flow control" flags (stop, done and
pause), and head and tail in the buffer itself. Since QF has been
working without _Atomic (admittedly, thanks to luck and x86's strong
memory model), this should do until proven otherwise. I imagine getting
stream reading out of the RT thread will highlight any issues.
Turned out the channels simply weren't being freed by SND_ScanChannels
when they should have been (probably a good thing, too, as it wasn't
being told to wait for the mixer).
Care needs to be taken when freeing channels as doing so while an
asynchronous mixer is using them is unlikely to end well. However,
whether the mixer is asynchronous depends on the output driver. This
lets the driver inform the rest of the system that the output and mixer
are running asynchronously.
SYS_dev is a holdover from when we had only the one flag and is not
meant to be used for tests (I seem to remember mentioning an audit was
necessary, but obviously forgotten). One step at a time, I guess :)
This improves the locality of reference when mixing and removes the
proxy sfx for streamed sounds.
The buffer for streamed sounds is allocated when the stream is opened
(since streamed sounds can't share buffers), and freed when the stream
is closed.
For block sounds, the buffer is reference counted (with the sfx holding
one reference, so currently block buffers never get freed), with their
reference count getting incremented on open and decremented on close.
That the reference counts get to 1 has been confirmed, so all that
should be needed is proper destruction of the sfx instances.
Still need to sort out just why channels leak across level changes.
