This is a bit slower on map_and_* because of flushing and _very_ much slower on buffer(sub)?data because of a new memcpy.
But this design allow us to decode directly into a gpu buffer, eg vertexloader will profit :)
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.
This one was introduced to reduce the glBindTexture and glActiveTexture calls. But it was quite a bit of logic and only an improvment on uploading/creating a texture, which is done rarely.
This adds xfb support to the videosoftware backend, which increases it's
accuracy and more imporantly, enables the usage of many homebrew apps
which write directly to the xfb on the videosoftware backend.

This branch is the final step of fully supporting both OpenGL and OpenGL ES in the same binary.
This of course only applies to EGL and won't work for GLX/AGL/WGL since they don't really support GL ES.
The changes here actually aren't too terrible, basically change every #ifdef USE_GLES to a runtime check.
This adds a DetectMode() function to the EGL context backend.
EGL will iterate through each of the configs and check for GL, GLES3_KHR, and GLES2 bits
After that it'll change the mode from _DETECT to whichever one is the best supported.
After that point we'll just create a context with the mode that was detected
We are used to render them out of order as long as everything else matches, but rendering order does matter, so we have to flush on primitive switch. This commit implements this flush.
Also as we flush on primitive switch, we don't have to create three different index buffers. All indices are now stored in one buffer.
This will slow down games which switch often primitive types (eg ztp), but it should be more accurate.
add the GL include (back) to Base.props
use a similar technique to GLX.cpp (by Sonic) in WGL.cpp to get
wglSwapIntervalEXT without the WGLEW check

This "u32 components" is a list of flags which attributes of the vertex loader are present.
We are used to append this variable to lots of vertex generation functions, but some of them don't need it at all.
The usual way to handle this kind of request is to rise a flag which the gpu thread polls.
The gpu thread itself either generates the result or just write zeros if disabled.
After this, it rise another flag which says that this work is done.
So if disabled, we still have the cpu-gpu round trip time. This commit just returns 0 on the cpu thread
instead of playing ping pong...
fixes issue 6898
OpenGL defaults are GL_REPEAT, which is even more unlikely than GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE.
As I can't test the behavoir of the real hardware, I changed it to how it works before,
but I guess just clip the texture makes more sense.
Real xfb didn't provide any read_stride, so there is a division by zero.
This commit calculates the correct read_stride for real_xfb, so there is also no hack for texture vs xfb needed.
This is done with a pixel buffer object. We still have to stall the GPU, but
we only do it once per efb2ram call.
As the cpu can't access the vram, it has to queue a memcpy for the gpu and
wait for the gpu to finish this copy. We did this for every cache line which
is just stupid. Now we copy the complete texture into a pbo and readback this
at once. So we don't have to wait for lots of round-trip-times.
Also use attributeless rendering. But we need the src rect, so set it by uniform.
If there is a slowdown here (I doubt as the driver likely has a fast path to update uniforms)
then we should check if this rect changes and only then update the uniform.
We use attributeless rendering, so officially we have to bind _any_ VAO.
As the state of this VAO doesn't matter, we don't have to switch it.
Also fix an AMD issue as they don't like to render from an empty VAO.
We neither scale nor render from subimages, so we by using gl_Position, we don't have to generate _any_ vertices for this converting.
Also remove the glTexSubImage optimization as every driver does it when needed. But there are some workflows (eg on APU) where it's better to realloc this texture instead of a second memcpy or stall.
This fixes Real XFB Jaggies in OpenGL on games which use yscaling, such
as most PAL games.
This fixes the last of the "Real XFB Macroblocking" issues for opengl,
see issue #6503
Seems OpenGL ES 3 Requires you must have an lod argument, while Desktop
versions require you must not have a lod argument if you are using a
Sampler2DRect (which doesn't do Mipmapping).
The pal version of SSBB has a 640x568 xfb, which is larger than the efb.
Increase the size of the static textures and put in some runtime checks
to prevent buffer overruns.
Now OGL doesn't rely on WX for PNG saving.
FlipImageData supports (pixel data len > 3) now.
TextureToPng is now in ImageWrite.cpp/h
Video Common depends on zlib and png.
D3D no longer depends on zlib and png.
Revert "Actually, filename really does need to be a parameter because of some random debug thing."
Revert "fix non-HAVE_WX case"
Revert "Handle screenshot saving in RenderBase. Removes dependency on D3DX11 for screenshots (texture dumping is still broken)."
This reverts commits 00fe5057f1, 74b5fb3ab4, cd46138d29 and 5f72542e06 because taking screenshots in D3D still crashed for me so there was no point in the code changes (which I found ugly anyway).
The Dolphin development team is incapable of providing sufficient replacement for its previous usage in Dolphin and the advantages of dropping the dependency do not justify the removal of screenshots and texture dumping.
From now on, d3dx11.h, d3dx11async.h, d3dx11core.h and d3dx11tex.h are required to be stored somewhere in the header include path. I don't know if this is the case for anyone else than me, but I can't really say that I care after having people randomly merge unfinished branches into master.
D3D doesn't allow bigger viewports than rendertargets. But flipper does, so the viewport will be clipped and the transformation matrix will be changed.
This was done in the D3D backend itself. This is now moved into VideoCommon. This don't reduce code, but in this way, VideoCommon doesn't depend on the backends.
* Currently there is no DEBUGFAST configuration. Defining DEBUGFAST as a preprocessor definition in Base.props (or a global header) enables it for now, pending a better method. This was done to make managing the build harder to screw up. However it may not even be an issue anymore with the new .props usage.
* D3DX11SaveTextureToFile usage is dropped and not replaced.
* If you have $(DXSDK_DIR) in your global property sheets (Microsoft.Cpp.$(PlatformName).user), you need to remove it. The build will error out with a message if it's configured incorrectly.
* If you are on Windows 8 or above, you no longer need the June 2010 DirectX SDK installed to build dolphin. If you are in this situation, it is still required if you want your built binaries to be able to use XAudio2 and XInput on previous Windows versions.
* GLew updated to 1.10.0
* compiler switches added: /volatile:iso, /d2Zi+
* LTCG available via msbuild property: DolphinRelease
* SDL updated to 2.0.0
* All Externals (excl. OpenAL and SDL) are built from source.
* Now uses STL version of std::{mutex,condition_variable,thread}
* Now uses Build as root directory for *all* intermediate files
* Binary directory is populated as post-build msbuild action
* .gitignore is simplified
* UnitTests project is no longer compiled
The upload in the backend isn't done, it's just pushed by the mostly removed SetMulti*SConstant4fv.
Also no optimizations was done on VideoCommon side, but I can start now :-)
Sorry for the hacky way, but I think this is a nice (working) snapshot for a much bigger change.
