Since we are calling this off the UI thread, we can't use anything which
accesses the underlying NSView object. We create and set the Metal layer
on the UI thread before the video backend is initialized. This extension
is both compatible with MoltenVK and gfx-portability for accepting a
layer at surface creation.
Previously the logging was a in a little bit of a disarray. Some things
were in namespaces, and other things were not.
Given this code will feature a bit of restructuring during the
transition over to fmt, this is a good time to unify it under a single
namespace and also remove functions and types from the global namespace.
Now, all functions and types are under the Common::Log namespace. The
only outliers being, of course, the preprocessor macros.
This header doesn't actually make use of MathUtil.h within itself, so
this can be removed. Many other source files used VideoCommon.h as an
indirect include to include MathUtil.h, so these includes can also be
adjusted.
While we're at it, we can also migrate valid inclusions of VideoCommon.h
into cpp files where it can feasibly be done to minimize propagating it
via other headers.
The path to the MoltenVK library can be specified by the
LIBMOLTENVK_PATH environment variable, otherwise it assumes it is
located in the application bundle's Contents/MacOS directory.
Ideally Common.h wouldn't be a header in the Common library, and instead be renamed to something else, like PlatformCompatibility.h or something, but even then, there's still some things in the header that don't really fall under that label
This moves the version strings out to their own version header that doesn't dump a bunch of other unrelated things into scope, like what Common.h was doing.
This also places them into the Common namespace, as opposed to letting them sit in the global namespace.
Before this change, we simply fail if the device does not expose one
queue family that supports both graphics and present. Currently this is
fine, since devices tend to lay out their queues in this way. NV, for
instance, tends to have one queue family for all graphics operations and
one more for transfer only. However, it's not a hard requirement, and it
is cheap to use a separate queue, so we might as well.
This reverts commit d23fd17e1a.
Dynamic sampler indexing is broken in VK_NV_glsl as of 385.41. The
performance gap doesn't seem to be as wide with the updated driver, so
to save maintaining two code paths, it's easier to just drop the
extension support completely.
