This reduces how many changes we make when recording uniform state, which
increases the chances that the data offset will be the same when applying
uniforms.
Since we make full snapshots when recording uniform state of batches, we
need to perform some deduplication to avoid so many repeated uniform calls.
This uses a closed hashtable to determine if we are likely changing the
value to something new.
This does not currently compare values, it instead only compares that we
are going to point at a new offset into the uniform buffer. We could go
further if we compare upon updating values (we did that early on in the
prototype) so that offsets are less likely to be changed.
Hook up the "Show fallback rendering" switch for Vulkan.
This brings home the sobering truth that the Vulkan renderer
is doing *all* fallback, since we switched from offset nodes
to transform nodes.
The primary goal here was to cleanup the current GL renderer to make
maintenance easier going forward. Furthermore, it tracks state to allow
us to implement more advanced renderer features going forward.
Reordering
This renderer will reorder batches by render target to reduce the number
of times render targets are changed.
In the future, we could also reorder by program within the render target
if we can determine that vertices do not overlap.
Uniform Snapshots
To allow for reordering of batches all uniforms need to be tracked for
the programs. This allows us to create the full uniform state when the
batch has been moved into a new position.
Some care was taken as it can be performance sensitive.
Attachment Snapshots
Similar to uniform snapshots, we need to know all of the texture
attachments so that we can rebind them when necessary.
Render Jobs
To help isolate the process of creating GL commands from the renderer
abstraction a render job abstraction was added. This could be extended
in the future if we decided to do tiling.
Command Queue
Render jobs create batches using the command queue. The command queue
will snapshot uniform and attachment state so that it can reorder
batches right before executing them.
Currently, the only reordering done is to ensure that we only visit
each render target once. We could extend this by tracking vertices,
attachments, and others.
This code currently uses an inline array helper to reduce overhead
from GArray which was showing up on profiles. It could be changed to
use GdkArray without too much work, but had roughly double the
instructions. Cycle counts have not yet been determined.
GLSL Programs
This was simplified to use XMACROS so that we can just extend one file
(gskglprograms.defs) instead of multiple places. The programs are added
as fields in the driver for easy access.
Driver
The driver manages textures, render targets, access to atlases,
programs, and more. There is one driver per display, by using the
shared GL context.
Some work could be done here to batch uploads so that we make fewer
calls to upload when sending icon theme data to the GPU. We'd need
to keep a copy of the atlas data for such purposes.
When we are rendering a texture node to an offscreen,
and we have a clip, we must force the offscreen rendering.
Otherwise, the code will notice: Hey, it already is a texture
node, so no need to render it to a texture again. But when
clipping is involved, that is exactly what we want to do.
Testcase included.
Fixes: #3651
There isn't any state to modify in the type so we can use const here.
Doing so allows some of the renderer code to use const across a
number of functions so that repeated calls are elided if inlined.
These do not do modify anything so they can be marked as pure to
potentially ellide calls. Since they do dereference, I do not believe
we can make them const although that is unclear since we could technically
just return a pointer + offset. Therefore it *might* be possible to also
make these G_GNUC_CONST.
This also removes the return if fail macros from these as a good portion
of them didn't have them anyway. I think it's fair to say that access to
these incorrectly is a programmer error.
It significantly reduces the amount of code generated into generally a
movss,ret.
