Skip ubershader mode works the same as hybrid ubershaders in that the
shaders are compiled asynchronously. However, instead of using the
ubershader to draw the object, it skips it entirely until the
specialized shader is made available.
This mode will likely result in broken effects where a game creates an
EFB copy, and does not redraw it every frame. Therefore, it is not a
recommended option, however, it may result in better performance on
low-end systems.
This replaces usages of the non-standard __FUNCTION__ macro with the standard
mandated __func__ identifier.
__FUNCTION__ is a preprocessor definition that is provided as an
extension by compilers. This was the only convenient option to rely on
pre-C++11. However, C++11 and greater mandate the predefined identifier
__func__, which lets us accomplish the same thing.
The difference between the two, however, is that __func__ isn't a
preprocessor macro, it's an actual identifier that exists at function
scope. The C++17 draft standard (N4659) at section [dcl.fct.def.general]
paragraph 8 states:
"
The function-local predefined variable __func__ is defined as if a
definition of the form
static const char __func__[] = "function-name ";
had been provided, where function-name is an implementation-defined
string. It is unspecified whether such
a variable has an address distinct from that of any other object in the
program.
"
Thankfully, we don't do any macro or string concatenation with __FUNCTION__
that can't be modified to use __func__.
We now differentiate between a resize event and surface change/destroyed
event, reducing the overhead for resizes in the Vulkan backend. It is
also now now safe to change the surface multiple times if the video thread
is lagging behind.
This will generate one shader per copy format. For now, it is the same
shader with the colmat hard coded. So it should already improve the GPU
performance a bit, but a rewrite of the shader generator is suggested.
Half of the patch is done by linkmauve1:
VideoCommon: Reorganise the shader writes.
Also skips swapping the window system buffers in headless mode, as there
may not be a surface which can be swapped in the first place. Instead,
we call glFlush() at the end of a frame in this case.
Some lines of code in Dolphin just plainly grabbed the value of
g_ActiveConfig.iEFBScale, which resulted in Auto being treated as
0x rather than the actual automatically selected scale.
Drivers can return VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR from vkQueuePresentKHR, and
we should resize the image in this case, as well as when getting it back
from vkAcquireNextImageKHR.
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.
Calling vkCmdClearAttachments with a partial rect, or specifying a
render area in a render pass with the load op set to clear can cause the
GPU to lock up, or raise a bounds violation. This only occurs on MSAA
framebuffers, and it seems when there are multiple clears in a single
command buffer. Worked around by back to the slow path (drawing quads)
when MSAA is enabled.
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.
Currently, this is only the logic op bit, but this will be extended to
the framebuffer fetch/blend modes. In the future, when/if we move to
VideoCommon pipelines, this state will be part of the pipeline UID
anyway, and we can mask it out in the backend by using a two-level map,
so the shaders/programs are shared.
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.
