SSAA relies on MSAA being active to work. We only supports 4x SSAA while in fact you can enable SSAA at any MSAA level.
I even managed to run 64xMSAA + SSAA on my Quadro which made some pretty sleek looking games. They were very cinematic though.
With this, it properly fixes up SSAA and MSAA support in GLES as well. Before they were broken when stereo rendering was enabled.
Now in GLES they can properly support MSAA and also stereo rendering with MSAA enabled(with proper extensions).
OpenGL ES 3.2 adds this feature to core
It was available to GLES 3.1 as GL_{EXT, OES}_texture_buffer as well.
For the non-Nvidia vendors that implemented this is:
- Qualcomm's Adreno 4xx
- IMGTec's PowerVR Rogue
OpenGL ES 3.2 adds a few things we care about supporting in core. In particular:
- GL_{ARB,EXT,OES}_draw_elements_base_vertex
- KHR_Debug
- Sample Shading
- GL_{ARB,EXT,OES,NV}_copy_image
- Geometry shaders
- Geometry shader instancing (If they support GL_{EXT,OES}_geometry_point_size)
Nvidia was the first to release an OpenGL ES 3.2 driver which I uesd to test this on.
This also enables GS Instancing on GLES 3.1 hardware if it supports all of the required extensions.
This fixes running Dolphin on the Nexus 9.
Android's EGL stack has internal arrays that they use for tracking OpenGL function usage. Probably has something to do with their OpenGL profiling
garbage that used to be in ADT.
Android has three of these arrays, each statically allocated.
One array is for all GLES 1.x functions
One array is for all GLES 2.0/3.0/3.1 and a couple of extensions they deem worthy of being in this array.
The last array is for all function pointers grabbed via eglGetProcAddress that isn't in the other two arrays.
The last array is the issue that we are having problems with. This array is 256 members in length.
So if you are pulling more than 256 function pointers that Google doesn't track in their internal array, the function will return NULL and yell at you
in logcat.
The Nvidia Shield Tablet gets around this by replacing part of the EGL stack with their own implementation that doesn't have this garbage.
The Nexus 9 on the other hand doesn't get away with this. So we pull >100 more function pointers than the array can handle, and some of those we need
to use.
The workaround for this is to grab OpenGL 1.1 functions last because we won't actually be using those functions, so we get away with not grabbing the
function pointers.
If the host device supports GLES 3.1 and AEP we can have stereo rendering.
Just need to make sure to grab the correct function pointer that GL_EXT_geometry_shader provides, and enable AEP in the shaders.
We can't just check if AEP is in the extension list for support because Qualcomm has failed once more.
With the Nexus 6 it reports support for AEP but doesn't support OpenGL ES 3.1, which is an impossible combination.
From reports on their forum it seems that attempting to use any AEP things results in nothing happening, seems like a stub implementation.
This is the same extension that we all know and love but under a different name with some different requirements.
In regular OpenGL fashion, you can't just move a desktop OpenGL extension to OpenGL ES without ratifying a new extension, which is why this falls
under a EXT extension, which in turn causes it to have suffixes attached to their function names.
This is the first step in our way towards conquering all mobile GPUs that don't support desktop OpenGL, hopefully we also can add support for
buffer_storage to OpenGL ES as well so we can make full use of this extension.
This wasn't too much of a concern since we normally don't care about this feature set, but it is nice when testing on new devices and they don't
support the higher feature sets but want to run under software renderer.
The Mesa softpipe and PowerVR 5xx drivers don't support higher GL versions, but they shouldn't exit out just because they couldn't get a GL3 function
pointer that isn't even going to be used at that point.
This is good hygiene, and also happens to be required to build Dolphin
using Clang modules.
(Under this setup, each header file becomes a module, and each #include
is automatically translated to a module import. Recursive includes
still leak through (by default), but modules are compiled independently,
and can't depend on defines or types having previously been set up. The
main reason to retrofit it onto Dolphin is compilation performance - no
more textual includes whatsoever, rather than putting a few blessed
common headers into a PCH. Unfortunately, I found multiple Clang bugs
while trying to build Dolphin this way, so it's not ready yet, but I can
start with this prerequisite.)
This noticeably includes GL_ARB_get_program_binary, which was previously
thought unsupported on OS X. Well, actually, the OS X implementation is
trivial and reports 0 binary formats (as of 10.10; this is hardcoded in
GLEngine, by the way), but at least it'll work if it's fixed someday.
We need to pull in function pointers for OpenGL 3.0 in order to use glAttribIPointer.
This isn't too big of an issue, and this code will be gone in the future when we change over to libepoxy.
Just need to push code upstream to libepoxy to support Android with GLES and GL first.
If there is an issue with a reported extension, disable it instead of failing out entirely.
Fixes an issue with buffer_storage that I had overlooked as well.
This changes from using logical and to bitwise and, which causes the compile time to drop from an absurd amount of time to around five seconds on my
crappy laptop.
The only two devices that do this are Mesa software rasterizer and Intel Ironlake(With a few hacks).
Basically since it doesn't support OpenGL 3.0, it can't grab the version the new way.
So failing that, it sets to GL 2.1, and continues.
Further along, on Ironlake at least, it tries grabbing the extensions the new GL 3.0 way and fails.
So have a fallback that grabs the extensions string the old way, in probably the most elegant way possible.
gl.h and glext.h provide most of the function pointer typedefs and defines for extensions and core features.
The only one it doesn't provide is GL 1.1 function typedefs, but this is to be expected.
If anything needs defines or typedefs in their header in the future, that's as easy as before.
