Keeps associated data together. It also eliminates the possibility of out
parameters not being initialized properly. For example, consider the
following example:
-- some FramebufferManager implementation --
void FBMgrImpl::GetTargetSize(u32* width, u32* height) override
{
// Do nothing
}
-- somewhere else where the function is used --
u32 width, height;
framebuffer_manager_instance->GetTargetSize(&width, &height);
if (texture_width != width) <-- Uninitialized variable usage
{
...
}
It makes it much more obvious to spot any initialization issues, because
it requires something to be returned, as opposed to allowing an
implementation to just not do anything.
Also swaps the byte order from RGBA->BGRA to match GL/D3D12, and what
the read handler is expecting.
Depth reads will now return the minimum depth of all samples, instead of
the average of all samples.
Since ResolveSubresource cannot be used with depth textures (and throws an error with the debug layer enabled), use a shader which selects the minimum depth value from all samples.
Changes the sampler by XFBEncoder to use a linear filter, rather than point, to match GL behavior.
