Don't try to use all those fancy GL features like glMapBuffer() and
such. Just malloc() some buffer memory and glBufferSubData() it later.
That works everywhere and is faster than (almost?) any combination of
fancy new buffer APIs. And yes I'm frustrated because I played with
those flags and none of them were better than this.
Doubles the framerate on my discrete AMD GPU.
Introduce a new GskGpuImageDescriptors object that tracks descriptors
for a set of images that can be managed by the GPU.
Then have each GskGpuShaderOp just reference the descriptors object they are
using, so that the coe can set things up properly.
To reference an image, the ops now just reference their descriptor -
which is the uint32 we've been sending to the shaders since forever.
Use glDrawArraysInstancedBaseInstance() to draw. (Yay for GL naming.)
That allows setting up the offset in the vertex array without having to
glVertexAttribPointer() everything again.
However, this is only supported since GL 4.2 and not at all in stock GLES,
so we need to have code that can work without it.
Fortunately, it is mandatory in Vulkan, so every recent GPU supports it.
And if that GPU has a proper driver, it will also expose the GL extension
for it.
(Hint: You can check https://opengles.gpuinfo.org/listextensions.php for
how many proper drivers exist outside of Mesa.)
The env var allows skipping various optimizations in the GPU shader.
This is useful for testing during development when trying to figure
out how to make a renderer as fast as possible.
We could also use it to enable/disable optimizations depending on GL
version or so, but I didn't think about that too much yet.
When drawing opaque color regions that are large enough, use
vkCmdClearAttachments()/glClear() instead of a shader. This speeds up
background rendering on particular on older GPUs.
See the commit messages of
bb2cd7225ece042f7ba10edd7547c1
for a further discussion of performance impacts.
The previous algorithm would reverse the order of subpasses, whcih leads
to unexpected behavior if dependent subpasses are not added as children
of a subpass, but just as a previous subpass - like when a subpass is
used multiple times later.
An example for this is a shadow node with multiple shadows - the source
of the shadow is used by the multiple shadows.
So ensure that adjacent subpasses stay in the same order.
The code generated by glslc -O is optimized worse by Mesa than
code generated unoptimized.
So generate unoptimized code until somebody figures out what's going
wrong here.
They're done using the pattern shader.
The pattern shader now gained a stack where vec4's can be pushed and
popped back later, which allows storing the position before computing
the new position inside the repeat node's child.
Due to GLES and old GL not allowing non-constant texture array
lookups,we need to turn the array lookup into a big switch statementin
those versions, and that requires putting the texture() call into that
switch.
But with that trick, we can use texture IDs in GLSL.
... and use it for glyphs.
The name is a slight variation of the "coloring" name from the GL
renderer.
The functionality is exactly what the "glyph" shader from the Vulkan
renderer does.
1. Compute the fwidth() twice with offset offsets
That way, we avoid glitches at the boundary between 0.0 and 1.0,
because by offsetting it by 0.5, that boundary goes away.
Then we take the min() of both which gives us the one we care about.
2. Set the gradient to repeating
By doing that, we don't get values at the 0.0/1.0 boundary clamped,
but things smoothly transition.
This smoothes the line at that boundary and makes it look just like
every other line.
Instead of strictly rounding to the given clip rectangle, increase the
rectangle to the next pixel boundary.
Also add docs that the clip_bounds do not influence the actual size of
the returned image.
It's just an object that encapsulates everything needed to create (the
data for) a pattern op.
It also clarifies which code does what, because now the NodeProcessor
and the PatternWriter are 2 different things.
Pretty much a copy of the Vulkan border shader.
A notable change is that the input arguments are changed, because GL
gets confused if you put a mat4 at the end.
when doing get_node_as_image(), that may spawn a new buffer writer that
writes into the samme buffer when rendering an offscreen with patterns.
So as a more or less hacky workaround, we now abort the current buffer
write and restart it once we've created the image.
If creation fails, create an offscreen image instead and draw that as a
texture.
Because offscreens basically always succeed, we can pretty much assume
success everywhere - apart from pattern creation functions that also
create images, because they can run out of shader space.
Frames now carry a timestamp for when they are used.
This is mainly intended to attach timestamps to cached items (textures
or glyphs), but it could in theory also be used when profiling.
We use wallclock time here, not server time, because it's cheaper and
because we're more intereseted in the local machine we're rendering on.
Now we can extend the pattern creation easily - and we can add new
patterns quickly later.
Plus, we need to keep this file in sync with pattern.glsl and it's neat
when those 2 files reference only each other.
Because GL flips its shit sometimes (ie when it's the framebuffer),
pass the height of the target as the flip variable, so commands
that need to operate on the pixels can flip the y axis around this value.
This is again mostly a copy of the Vulkan renderer.
It's a bit awkward codewise with the new invalidation framework,
because we need to cache the previous values individually now,
but it's a lot more finegrained, and we don't emit globals multiple
times when clips are nested.
... and use it to initialize the "proper" projection matrix to use in
shaders.
The resulting viewport will go from top left (0,0) to bottom right
(width, height) and the z clipping plane will go from -10000 to 10000.
This heaves over an inital chunk of code from the Vulkan renderer to
execute shaders.
The only shader that exists for now is a shader that draws a single
texture.
We use that to replace the blit op we were doing before.
For now, it just renders using cairo, uploads the result to the GPU,
blits it onto the framebuffer and then is happy.
But it can do that using Vulkan and using GL (no idea which version).
The most important thing still missing is shaders.
It also has a bunch of copy/paste from the Vulkan renderer that isn't
used yet.
But I didn't want to rip it out and then try to copy it back later
We want to introduce a new one next.
Technically, this breaks API, because gsk_vulkan_renderer_new() is going
away, but practically, we're gonna bring it back once we introduce that
renderer in a few commits.
These are not usable outside of GTK, so lets not burden bindings
with them.
I'll keep the get_child() function exposed, since it is needed to
iterate over node trees containing subsurface nodes.
asan randomly failed when this almost correct code wasn't quite correct.
Hopefully this is the correct incantation to compute the size.

This is mostly untested and a result of reading the code.
The main effect here happens when a node was drawn that didn't start on
an integer boundary, which is very rare.
However, with specially crafted tests and when using fractional scaling,
this can happen.
This happened most often when clipping by the node bounds to restrict a
push_group() call. Enlarge that rectangle to fall on a pixel boundary.
Testcase included
The code was writing invalid memory, so this might not have always
crashed, but I did my best to write the test so it causes a SEGV.
Also included is a fix for the testsuite where the expected result was
wrong.
These 2 rectangles used to intersect fine:
0 0 50 50 / 50 0
0 0 50 50 / 0 50
But the computed result was:
0 0 50 50 / 50
which is not a valid rectangle, because the corners overlap.
Make sure such rectangles return NOT_REPRESENTABLE.
The above rectangle has been added to the testsuite.
After discussion on IRC about debug messages:
- FALLBACK is meant to be used for printing stuff about fallbacks
(Cairo, offscreens, conversion when uploading, etc)
- CAIRO is for overdrawing everything drawn with Cairo
When hilighting Cairo nodes, use a different hilight color than when
hilighting other nodes.
This allows differentiating application use of Cairo (via nodes) from
renderer use of Cairo (via fallback).
Use it to overlay an error pattern over all Cairo drawing done by
renderers.
This has 2 purposes:
1. It allows detecting fallbacks in GPU renderers.
2. Application code can use it to detect where it is using Cairo
drawing.
As such, it is meant to trigger both with cairo nodes as well as when
renderers fallback for regular nodes.
The old use of the debug flag - which were 2 not very useful print
statements - was removed.
Mask nodes are transparent outside of the intersection of source and
mask, unless the mask ode is inverted alpha.
Set the bounds accordingly.
Tests have been updated accordingly.
Doing this in a way that is picked up by gobject-introspection
requires splitting off new enum members into separate doc
comments, which is a bit unfortunate.
The convert_texture() path only works for the GL renderer, the new
renderers potentially use dmabuf textures as result of render_texture(),
so they need to be smarter here.
This omission was noticed by Benjamin Otte. Add a premultiply
uniform to the external shader, and add a separate premultiply
shader for the non-external case.
When the GL renderer cannot upload a given format, print a FALLBACK
debug message with the failed format and the alternative that was
picked, for example:
Unsupported format b8g8r8a8, converting on CPU to b8g8r8a8-premultiplied
Makes it easier to figure out what's happening, especially when using
old GLES versions that don't support all formats.
Track fallback formats to use in the memoryformat directly instead of
using in the GL uploading code.
First of all, this allows sharing the code and ensuring all our
renderers use the same fallback mechanism.
But also, this allows tracking fallbacks per-format which is useful
because the fallback formats aren't really a tree. We want to make
FLOAT16 fall back to FLOAT32 when not available, but we also want
FLOAT32 fall back to FLOAT16.
By tracking the fallbacks per-format, we can achieve that.
Add gdk_memory_format_get_premultiplied() and
gdk_memory_format_get_straight() which return the matching
premultiplied/straight format.
Use this to pick the premultiplied format when uploading GL textures.
And remove the duplication in the dmabuf code, where we can now use
these functions instead of tracking both the premultiplied and straight
alpha versions.
Add an "RGBA" format that just maps to the swizzled version of the
default format.
This way, BGR gets mapped to RGB + swizzling first before trying to map
it to the default format for the depth.
The benefit here is that this format has the same memory width, so
uploading/downloading code can treat it equivalent to the original
format and there's no conversion neccessary later.
Now that we have gdk_gl_context_get_memory_flags() and code can use that
function, make the code do that.
Remove support checks from gdk_memory_format_gl_format().
This is an initial naive port that doesn't try to make use of the finer-grained
flags yet.
This is the result of experimenting with corner cases when blurring.
The result is a test that tests when the child of a blur node is
clipped out but the blurred child is not, the blurred parts are still
visible.
This immediately broke the cairo renderer, so the fix is included.
We need to make sure that all our textures have the same memory
format, or we'll run into trouble in the upload code, at least
on GLES, which isn't as forgiving about format mismatches.

Instead, do it all in attach(), which becomes more and more like
ConfigureWindow. This is good, because it will let us take the
above-ness into account when making decisions about attaching.
This flag must be set when creating the class or offloading
will be disabled for this renderer.
Set that flag for the GL renderer.
Fixes the Cairo and Vulkan renderer not showing Video.
During rendering, restack offloaded subsurfaces below the main
surface, and clear the area so they peek through. After rendering,
raise the last subsurface if we haven't drawn over it.
Add a blend mode to the draw command, so it can draw transparent
black. This will be used to erase the area on top of a subsurface
when we do passthrough.
Add an extra argument to pass offload info to the diffing code.
This is then used for diffing subsurface nodes differently,
depending on their offloading status.
Make sure all our dmabuf debug messages are display-scoped so the
inspector doesn't trigger them, use the same formatting throughout,
and improve consistency of wording here and there.
It started out as busywork, but it does many separate things. If I could
start over, I'd take them apart into multiple commits:
1. Remove G_ENABLE_DEBUG around GDK_DEBUG_*() calls
This is not needed at all, the calls themselves take care of it.
2. Remove G_ENABLE_DEBUG around profiling code
This now enables profiling support in release builds.
3. Stop poking _gdk_debug_flags and use GDK_DEBUG_CHECK()
This was old code that was never updated.
4. Make !G_ENABLE_DEBUG turn off GDK_DEBUG_CHECK()
The code used to
#define GDK_DEBUG_CHECK(...) false
#define GDK_DEBUG(...)
which would compile away all the code inside those macros. This
means a lot of variable definitions and debug utility functions
would suddenly no longer be used and cause compiler errors.
