Gets rid of the largest set of mutable global state within the core.
This also paves a way for eliminating usages of GetInstance() on the
System class as a follow-up.
Note that no behavioral changes have been made, and this simply extracts
the functionality into a class. This also has the benefit of making
dependencies on the core timing functionality explicit within the
relevant interfaces.
Previously, we were completely ignoring for screenshots whether the game uses RGB or sRGB.
This resulted in screenshot colors that looked off for some titles.
There are some potential edge cases where gl_state may fail to track the
state if a related state changes while the toggle is disabled or it
didn't change. This addresses that.
Handles a pool of resources protected by fences. Manages resource
overflow allocating more resources.
This class is intended to be used through inheritance.
Fences take ownership of objects, protecting them from GPU-side or
driver-side concurrent access. They must be commited from the resource
manager. Their usage flow is: commit the fence from the resource
manager, protect resources with it and use them, send the fence to an
execution queue and Wait for it if needed and then call Release. Used
resources will automatically be signaled when they are free to be
reused.
Makes it consistent with the regular standard containers in terms of
size representation. This also gets rid of dependence on our own
type aliases, removing the need for an include.
The necessity of this parameter is dubious at best, and in 2019 probably
offers completely negligible savings as opposed to just leaving this
enabled. This removes it and simplifies the overall interface.
VKDevice contains all the data required to manage and initialize a
physical device. Its intention is to be passed across Vulkan objects to
query device-specific data (for example the logical device and the
dispatch loader).
We already store a reference to the system instance that the renderer is
created with, so we don't need to refer to the system instance via
Core::System::GetInstance()
This file is intended to be included instead of vulkan/vulkan.hpp. It
includes declarations of unique handlers using a dynamic dispatcher
instead of a static one (which would require linking to a Vulkan
library).
Places all of the timing-related functionality under the existing Core
namespace to keep things consistent, rather than having the timing
utilities sitting in its own completely separate namespace.
When I originally added the compute assert I used the wrong
documentation. This addresses that.
The dispatch register was tested with homebrew against hardware and is
triggered by some games (e.g. Super Mario Odyssey). What exactly is
missing to get a valid program bound by this engine requires more
investigation.
This was originally included because texture operations returned a vec4.
These operations now return a single float and the F4 prefix doesn't
mean anything.
