Create a large descriptor pool where we allocate all our descriptors
from. It has to be wide enough to support any pipeline, hence its large
numbers.
If the descritor pool is filled, we allocate more memory at that moment.
This way we can take advantage of permissive drivers like Nvidia's that
allocate more descriptors than what the spec requires.
This commit introduces a mechanism by which shader IR code can be
amended and extended. This useful for track algorithms where certain
information can derived from before the track such as indexes to array
samplers.
This function is called rarely and blocks quite often for a long time.
So don't waste power and let the CPU sleep.
This might also increase the performance as the other cores might be allowed to clock higher.
The job of this abstraction is to provide staging buffers for temporary
operations. Think of image uploads or buffer uploads to device memory.
It automatically deletes unused buffers.
This object's job is to contain an image and manage its transitions.
Since Nvidia hardware doesn't know what a transition is but Vulkan
requires them anyway, we have to state track image subresources
individually.
To avoid the overhead of tracking each subresource in images with many
subresources (think of cubemap arrays with several mipmaps), this commit
tracks when subresources have diverged. As long as this doesn't happen
we can check the state of the first subresource (that will be shared
with all subresources) and update accordingly.
Image transitions are deferred to the scheduler command buffer.
The intention behind this hasheable structure is to describe the state
of fixed function pipeline state that gets compiled to a single graphics
pipeline state object. This is all dynamic state in OpenGL but Vulkan
wants it in an immutable state, even if hardware can edit it freely.
In this commit the structure is defined in an optimized state (it uses
booleans, has paddings and many data entries that can be packed to
single integers). This is intentional as an initial implementation that
is easier to debug, implement and review. It will be optimized in later
stages, or it might change if Vulkan gets more dynamic states.
This commit adds a series of HLE methods for handling 3D textures in
general. This helps games that generate 3D textures on every frame and
may reduce loading times for certain games.
Remove false commentary. Not dividing by 4 the size of shared memory is
not a hack; it describes the number of integers, not bytes.
While we are at it sort the generated code to put preprocessor lines on
the top.
ExprCondCode visit implements the generic Visit. Use this instead of
that one.
As an intended side effect this fixes unwritten memory usages in cases
when a negation of a condition code is used.
