This relies on qsb being able to invoke dxc instead of fxc when the
request HLSL (shader model) version is 6.1. (6.1 is required for
SV_ViewID) This currently works only when conditioning offline with
qsb (or via CMake), because qsb can easily invoke dxc instead of
fxc. When shipping HLSL inside the .qsb package (so when -c is not
specified or running the external tool fails), this won't work since
the D3D12 backend still uses D3DCompile(), not IDxcCompiler. Support
for that will be investigated separately.
We also need to bump to ID3D12Device2 and ID3D12GraphicsCommandList1.
With Windows 10 version 1703 being quite old now, this should not be a
problem at run time.
There are however issues at build time, namely that MinGW and
MinGW/LLVM and similar seems to have ancient Windows SDK headers
according to the CI test runs. None of the MSVC configurations have
this in the CI, they have reasonable versions of d3d12.h and similar.
Therefore, one important aspect of this change is that the D3D12
backend of QRhi will only be available from now on when the SDK
headers are new enough (meaning ID3D12Device2 is declared, which is a
several years old type now). Otherwise, QRhi::create() will simply
fail when asking for D3D12 with a helpful warning message about the Qt
build being crippled.
Implementation-wise, there are surprises in store as well:
The way the PSO is created needs to be revamped to follow the
extensible approach that uses a pipeline state stream
description. Both the graphics and compute pipeline creation is
changed to use CreatePipelineState() and the associated
machinery. This is only really essential for graphics pipelines since
we know have to include data for view instancing (multiview). For
compute the result is the same as before.
Additionally, the view count must now be baked into the
QRhiGraphicsPipeline. This means that applications must call
setMultiViewCount() with the same value (typically 2) *both* on the
render target's color attachment and on the pipeline. Backends that do
not care about the pipeline's view count (GL, Vulkan) will of course
ignore it, but if it's not set correctly D3D12 will fail. The manual
test is updated accordingly.

qrhi.h, qshader.h, qshaderdescription.h (and qshaderbaker.h from
shadertools; done separately) become "RHI APIs", following the concept
of QPA APIs.
Mirror completely what is done for QPA headers, but using the "rhi"
prefix for the headers. This involves updating syncqt to handle the
new category of headers. (a note on the regex: matching everything
starting with "qrhi" is not acceptable due to incorrectly matching
existing and future headers, hence specifying the four header names
explicitly)
There is going to be one difference to QPA: the documentation for
everything RHI is going to be public and part of the regular docs, not
hidden with \internal.
In addition to the header renaming and adding the comments and
documentation notes and warnings, there is one significant change
here: there is no longer a need to do API-specific includes, such as
qrhid3d11[_p].h, qrhivulkan[_p].h, etc. These are simply merged into a
single header that is then included from qrhi.h. This means that users
within Qt, and any future applications can just do #include
<rhi/qrhi.h> (or rhi/qshader.h if the QRhi stuff is not relevant), no
other headers are needed.
There are no changes to functionality in this patch. Only the
documentation is expanded, quite a lot, to eliminate all qdoc warnings
and make the generated API docs complete. An example, with a quite
extensive doc page is added as well.

- The optional nice-to-haves DebugMarkers, Timestamps, PipelineCache
are not yet implemented (features reported as false, to be
implemented later, although buffer/texture resource name setting
already works as-is, regardless of DebugMarkers).
- Mipmap generation for 3D textures is missing. Won't matter much
given that 3D textures are not used in Qt for anything atm. For
generating mipmaps for 2D (or 2D array) textures, the MiniEngine
compute shader and approach is used. 3D support for the mipmap
generator may be added later. 1D textures / arrays are supported
except for mipmap generation, and so the
OneDimensionalTextureMipmaps feature is reported as false.
- Qt Quick and Qt Quick 3D are expected to be fully functional.
(unforeseen issues are not impossible, of course)
- Uses minimum feature level 11.0 when requesting the device. It is
expected to be functional on resource binding tier 1 hardware even,
although this has not been verified in practice.
- 2 frames in flight with the usual resource buffering
(QRhiBuffer::Dynamic is host visible (UPLOAD) and always mapped and
slotted, other buffers and textures are device local (DEFAULT).
Requests 3 swapchain buffers. Swapchains are mostly like with D3D11
(e.g. FLIP_DISCARD and SCALING_NONE).
- The root signature generation is somewhat limited by the SPIR-V
binding model and that we need to map every binding point using the
nativeResourceBindingMap from the QShader. Thus the root signature
is laid out so each stage has its own set of resources, with shader
register clashes being prevented by setting the visibility to a
given stage.
Sampler handling is somewhat suboptimal but we are tied by the
binding model and existing API design. It is in a fairly special
situation due to the 2048 limit on a shader visible sampler heap, as
opposed to 1000000 for SRVs and UAVS, so the approach we use for
textures (just stage the CPU SRVs on the (per-frame slot) shader
visible heap as they are encountered, effectively treating the heap
as a ring buffer) would quickly lead to having to switch heaps many
times with scenes with many draw calls and sampledTexture/sampler
bindings in the srb.
Whereas static samplers, which would be beautiful, are impossible to
utilize safely since we do not have that concept (i.e. samplers
specified upfront, tied to the graphics/compute pipeline) in the
QRhi API, and an srb used at pipeline creation may change its
associated resources, such as the QRhiSampler reference, by the time
the shader resources are set for the draw call (or another,
compatible srb may get used altogether), so specifying the samplers
at root signature creation time is impossible.
Rather, the current approach is to treat each sampler as a separate
root parameter (per stage) having a descriptor table with a single
entry. The shader visible sampler heap has exactly one instance of
each unique sampler encountered during the lifetime of the QRhi.
- Shader-wise no different from D3D11, works with HLSL/DXBC 5.0
(i.e. existing .qsb files with DXBC in them work as-is). But unlike
D3D11, this one will try to pick 6.7, 6.6, ..., down to 5.0 from the
QShader, in that order.
- Uses D3D12MA for suballocating. As a result it can report vmem
allocation statistics like the Vulkan backend, and it does more
since the DXGI memory usage (incl. implicit resources) is also
reported. This is optional technically, so we also have the option
of going straight with the heavyweight CreateCommittedResource()
instead. That is what we do if the adapter chosen reports it's
software-based or when QT_D3D_NO_SUBALLOC=1 is set.
- PreferSoftwareRenderer (picking the WARP device) and the env.var.
QT_D3D_ADAPTER_INDEX work as with the D3D11 backend.
- It is not unexpected that with large scenes that generate lots of
draw calls with multiple textures/samplers per call the performance
may be slightly below D3D11 (probably mostly due to descriptor
management). Similarly, the reported memory usage will be higher,
which is partly natural due to creating heaps, descriptor pools,
staging areas, etc. upfront. Will need to be evaluated later how
these can be tuned.

layouts, binding points/registers). This is not always trivial but
typically doable in not very complicated case after inspecting the

written, the HLSL files can be injected into a .qsb file with qsb -r.
or the corresponding CMake syntax. Conceptually this is no different
from how samplerExternalOES support is implemented for Multimedia.
(there the problem is that the shaders cannot be compiled to SPIR-V
to begin with, here it is that we cannot translate from SPIR-V, but
in the end the workaround for both problems is effectively the same)
The manual tests demonstrate this, both the tessellation and geometry
apps work now with D3D out of the box.
On the bright side, the implementation here in the the D3D backend of
QRhi does not need to know about how the shaders got there in the
QShader. So none of the implementation is dependent on this manual
process. If some day qsb would start translating to these kind of
shaders as well, it would all still work as-is.

...by removing the entire adjustedFormat() helper.
Qt Quick has never used this, which indicates it is not that
useful. Same goes for Qt Multimedia or Qt 3D. Ensuring depth and
stencil is requested is already solved by using
QSurfaceFormat::setDefaultFormat() or by adjusting the formats
everywhere as appropriate.
The helper function's usages are in the manual tests that use it as a
shortcut, and in the GL backend itself. Remove it and leave it up the
client to set the depth or stencil buffer size, typically in the
global default surface format. (which in fact many of the mentioned
manual tests already did, so some of calls to
window->setFormat(adjustedFormat()) were completely unnecessary)
By not having the built-in magic that tries to always force depth and
stencil, we avoid problems that arise then the helper cannot be easily
invoked (thinking of widgets and backingstores), and so one ends up
with unexpected stencil (or depth) in the context (where the GL
backend auto-adjusts), but not in the window (which is not under
QRhi's control).
It was in practice possible to trigger EGL_BAD_MATCH failures with the
new rhi-based widget composition on EGL-based systems. For example, if
an application with a QOpenGLWidget did not set both depth and stencil
(but only one, or none), it ended up failing due to the context -
surface EGLConfig mismatches. On other platforms this matters less due
to less strict config/pixelformat management.

Some of the offsets are already quint32 in the API (vertex input
attributes, dynamic offsets, offsets in draw calls), matching the
reality of the underlying 3D APIs, but many buffer-related functions
use int as of now, simply because that used to be the default choice,
and the same goes for sizes (such as buffer or range sizes). This is
not quite consistent and should be cleaned up if for nothing else then
just to make the classes consistent, but also because no 3D API use a
signed type for offsets, sizes, and strides. (except OpenGL for some)
When it comes to strides (for vertex inputs and raw image texture
uploads), those are already all quint32s. This is straightforward
because most of the 3D APIs use 32-bit uints for these regardless of
the architecture.
Sizes and offsets are often architecture-dependent (Vulkan, Metal),
but there is at least one API where they are always 32-bit even on
64-bit Windows (UINT == unsigned int, D3D11). In addition, we do not
really care about buffer or texture data larger than 4 GB, at least
not without realistic use cases and real world testing, which are
quite unlikely to materialize for now (esp. since we still have the
width/height of 2D textures limited to 16 or 32K in many cases even on
desktops, whereas 2GB+ buffers are not guaranteed in practice even
when an API seemingly allows it).
In any case, the important change here is the signed->unsigned
switch. A number of casts can now be removed here and there in the
backends, because the offsets and sizes are now unsigned as well,
matching the underlying API reality. The size can be potentially
increased later on with minimal effort, if that becomes necessary for
some reason.

This convenience should be, according to the Apple docs, equivalent to
calling present from a scheduled handler. (which on its own makes it
unclear why we switched in the first place)
In practice it seems the two approaches are not identical. It looks
like that once a frame is submitted earlier than the next display link
callback, the throttling behavior we implement in beginFrame()
(waiting on the semaphore for the completion of the appropriate
command list etc.) starts exhibiting unexpected behavior, not
correctly throttling the thread to the refresh rate. Changing back to
presentDrawable does not exhibit this at all.
The suspicion is that presentDrawable is probably doing more than what
the docs suggest, and so is not fully equivalent to calling present
manually from a scheduled handler.
Therefore, switch to presentDrawable now, which restores the expected
cross-platform behavior, but make a note of the oddity, and also
prepare the hellominimalcrossgfxtriangle manual test to provide an
easy, self-contained application to allow experimenting in the future,
if needed.
This allows Qt Quick render thread animations to advance at the
expected speed (because the render thread is correctly throttled to
the refresh rate), even if the render thread decides to generate a new
frame right away, without waiting for the next display link update.
Without this patch, attempting to get updates not via requestUpdate(),
but by other means (timer etc.) leads to incorrect throttling, and so
the triangle in the test app is rotating faster than expected - but
only with Metal. Running with OpenGL on macOS or with any API on any
other platform the behavior will be correct. Even if scheduling
updates without display link is not efficient, and should be
discouraged, not doing so cannot break the core contract of vsync
throttling, i.e. the thread cannot run faster just because it renders
a frame not in response to an UpdateRequest.

QPlatformTextureList holds a QRhiTexture instead of GLuint. A
QPlatformBackingStore now optionally can own a QRhi and a
QRhiSwapChain for the associated window. Non-GL rendering must use
this QRhi everywhere, whereas GL (QOpenGLWidget) can choose to still
rely on resource sharing between contexts. A widget tells that it
wants QRhi and the desired configuration in a new virtual function in
QWidgetPrivate returning a QPlatformBackingStoreRhiConfig. This is
evaluated (among a top-level's all children) upon create() before
creating the repaint manager and the QWidgetWindow.
In QOpenGLWidget what do request is obvious: it will request an
OpenGL-based QRhi. QQuickWidget (or a potential future QRhiWidget)
will be more interesting: it needs to honor the standard Qt Quick
env.vars. and QQuickWindow APIs (or, in whatever way the user
configured the QRhiWidget), and so will set up the config struct
accordingly.
In addition, the rhiconfig and surface type is (re)evaluated when
(re)parenting a widget to a new tlw. If needed, this will now trigger
a destroy - create on the tlw. This should be be safe to do in
setParent. When multiple child widgets report an enabled rhiconfig,
the first one (the first child encountered) wins. So e.g. attempting
to have a QOpenGLWidget and a Vulkan-based QQuickWidget in the same
top-level window will fail one of the widgets (it likely won't
render).
RasterGLSurface is no longer used by widgets. Rather, the appropriate
surface type is chosen.
The rhi support in the backingstore is usable without widgets as well.
To make rhiFlush() functional, one needs to call setRhiConfig() after
creating the QBackingStore. (like QWidget does to top-level windows)
Most of the QT_NO_OPENGL ifdefs are eliminated all over the place.
Everything with QRhi is unconditional code at compile time, except the
actual initialization.
Having to plumb the widget tlw's shareContext (or, now, the QRhi)
through QWindowPrivate is no longer needed. The old approach does not
scale: to implement composeAndFlush (now rhiFlush) we need more than
just a QRhi object, and this way we no longer pollute everything
starting from the widget level (QWidget's topextra -> QWidgetWindow ->
QWindowPrivate) just to send data around.
The BackingStoreOpenGLSupport interface and the QtGui - QtOpenGL split
is all gone. Instead, there is a QBackingStoreDefaultCompositor in
QtGui which is what the default implementations of composeAndFlush and
toTexture call. (overriding composeAndFlush and co. f.ex. in eglfs
should continue working mostly as-is, apart from adapting to the
texture list changes and getting the native OpenGL texture id out of
the QRhiTexture)
As QQuickWidget is way too complicated to just port as-is, an rhi
manual test (rhiwidget) is introduced as a first step, in ordewr to
exercise a simple, custom render-to-texture widget that does something
using a (not necessarily OpenGL-backed) QRhi and acts as fully
functional QWidget (modeled after QOpenGLWidget). This can also form
the foundation of a potential future QRhiWidget.
It is also possible to force the QRhi-based flushing always,
regardless of the presence of render-to-texture widgets. To exercise
this, set the env.var. QT_WIDGETS_RHI=1. This picks a
platform-specific default, and can be overridden with
QT_WIDGETS_RHI_BACKEND. (in sync with Qt Quick) This can eventually be
extended to query the platform plugin as well to check if the platform
plugin prefers to always do flushes with a 3D API.
QOpenGLWidget should work like before from the user's perspective, while
internally it has to do some things differently to play nice and prevent
regressions with the new rendering architecture. To exercise this
better, the qopenglwidget example gets a new tab-based view (that could
perhaps replace the example's main window later on?). The openglwidget
manual test is made compatible with Qt 6, and gets a counterpart in form
of the dockedopenglwidget manual test, which is a modified version of
the cube example that features dock widgets. This is relevant in
particular because render-to-texture widgets within a QDockWidget has
its own specific quirks, with logic taking this into account, hence
testing is essential.
For existing applications there are two important consequences with
this patch in place:
- Once the rhi-based composition is enabled, it stays active for the
lifetime of the top-level window.
- Dynamically creating and parenting the first render-to-texture
widget to an already created tlw will destroy and recreate the tlw
(and the underlying window). The visible effects of this depend on the
platform. (e.g. the window may disappear and reappear on some,
whereas with other windowing systems it is not noticeable at all -
this is not really different from similar situtions with reparenting
or when moving windows between screens, so should be acceptable in
practice)
- On iOS raster windows are flushed with Metal (and rhi) from now on
(previously this was through OpenGL by making flush() call
composeAndFlush().

The situation is:
- Vulkan is working. qsb accepts .geom files already, and QShader has
existing geometry shader support.
- OpenGL 3.2 and OpenGL ES 3.2 are working.
- D3D11 is not working. D3D11 supports geometry shaders, but SPIRV-
Cross does not support translating geometry shaders to HLSL.
- Metal is not working. Metal does not directly support geometry

...but this will only be supported with Vulkan and OpenGL 4.0+ and
OpenGL ES 3.2+ for the time being.
Taking the Vulkan model as our standard, the situation is the
following:
- Vulkan is ok, qsb secretly accepts .tesc and .tese files as input
already (plus QShader already has the necessary plumbing when it
comes to enums and such) To switch the tessellation domain origin to
bottom left we require Vulkan 1.1 (don't bother with
VK_KHR_maintenance2 on top of 1.0 at this point since 1.1 or 1.2
implementations should be common by now). The change is essential to
allow the same evaluation shader to work with both OpenGL and
Vulkan: this way we can use the same shader source, declaring the
tessellation winding order as CCW, with both APIs.
- OpenGL 4.0 and OpenGL ES 3.2 (or ES 3.1 with the Android extension
pack, but we won't bother with checking that for now) can be made
working without much complications, though we need to be careful
when it comes to gathering and setting uniforms so that we do not
leave the new tessellation stages out. We will stick to the Vulkan
model in the sense that the inner and outer tessellation levels must
be specified from the control shader, and cannot be specified from
the host side, even though OpenGL would allow this. (basically the
same story as with point size in vertex shaders)
- D3D11 would be no problem API-wise, and we could likely implement
the support for hull and domain shader stages in the backend, but
SPIRV-Cross does not support translating tessellation shaders to
HLSL. Attempting to feed in a .tesc or .tese file to qsb with
--hlsl specified will always fail. One issue here is how hull
shaders are structured, with the patchconstantfunc attribute
specifying a separate function computing the patch constant
data. With GLSL there is a single entry point in the tessellation
control shader, which then performs both the calculations on the
control points as well as the constant data (such as, the inner and
outer tessellation factors). One option here is to inject
handwritten HLSL shaders in the .qsb files using qsb's replace (-r)
mode, but this is not exactly a viable universal solution.
- Metal uses a different tessellation pipeline involving compute
shaders. This needs more investigation but probably not something we
can prioritize in practice. SPIRV-Cross does support this,
generating a compute shader for control and a (post-)vertex shader
for evaluation, presumably in order to enable MoltenVK to function
when it comes to tessellation, but it is not clear yet how usable
this is for us.

tries to dynamically determine the max number of varyings. Make it
