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.
