Because the uncolored overly verbose output was ridicilously ugly and
hard to navigate for larger scenes. Like with TestSuite executables,
there's a --color option that defaults to automatic coloring based on
whether printing to a TTY and can be both explicitly enabled and
disabled.
It limits the support for CMake 3.12+, but it's much less verbose and I
don't expect people to use ancient CMake versions with IDEs like Xcode
or VS anyway, so this should be fine.
Except for file callbacks, for these I have another change planned for
zero-copy import and it would be unwise to break stuff twice, providing
two sets of backwards compatibility wrappers. The image / scene
converter plugins went through a similar change earlier already and the
shader converters were made sane since the very beginning. OTOH audio
importers and text stuff are scheduled for merging with Trade or a
larger rework anyway, so I didn't see any point in updating those.
It's mostly a trivial change, except that returned String instances are
now also checked for non-default deleters same as Arrays because yes,
wow such flexibility compared to STL strings. Same was done for
ShaderTools::AbstractConverter already anyway, so nothing unheard-of
either.
The importer plugin interface version is bumped as this likely breaks
ABI in a nasty way that would lead to crashes.
Like in Trade, the unatomic exists() + read() pair (and silent failures
if the file exists but can't be read) was replaced with just
Path::read() that now returns an Optional. Besides that, not much worth
mentioning.
For file opening there's no longer an unatomic pair of exists() +
read(), but since Path::read() now returns an Optional, it means we can
reliably distinguish between empty files and failures.
While at it, also added TODOs for removal of the StringStl.h header
that's needed in various places for compatibility with APIs still using
STL strings.
Basically mirroring the changes done for Corrade::Compare::*File*,
including storing the filenames as string views to avoid unnecessary
copies (and then paying extra attention to not pass temporaries to them
in its own tests).
All the tests were updated to explicitly check that non-null-terminated
strings get handled properly (the GL label APIs have an explicit size,
so it *should*, but just in case). Also, because various subclasses
override the setter to return correct type for method chaining and the
override has to be deinlined to avoid relying on a StringView include,
the tests are now explicitly done for each leaf class, instead of the
subclass
The <string> being removed from the base class for all GL objects may
affect downstream projects which relied on it being included. In case of
Magnum, the breakages were already fixed in the previous commit.
Compile time improvement for the MagnumGL library alone is 0.2 second or
4% (6.1 seconds before, 5.9 after). Not bad, given that there's three
more files to compile and strings are still heavily used in other GL
debug output APIs and all shader stuff. For a build of just the GL
library and all tests, it goes down from 28.9 seconds to 28.1. Most
tests also still rely quite heavily on std::stringstream for debug
output testing, so the numbers still could go further.
It was a clever harmless trick. Well, it was way more harmless than it
was clever, but even then it caused UBSan to complain. And that's Not A
Good Thing for various reasons, so let's just comply.
The main bad effect of this change is a *slightly* larger list of
exported symbols but until we actually get rid of the major bloats like
<iostream>, <string> and the like, this is not going to have any
measurable impact.
Hah this took a while, as there was no texture scaffolding in place at
all. Thus all this had to be added and tested for the first time:
* 2D textures
* 2D texture arrays
* Texture transformation uniforms
* Texture transformation UBOs
* Instanced texture offset
This also means that MeshVisualizer can be used to visualize arbitrary
(single-channel) integer textures now, not just render meshes with
object ID textures. Yay for feature parity!
Mainly to have feature parity with Flat and Phong -- otherwise switching
to draw a wireframe on an instanced mesh would be too annoying. Also, if
we have multidraw there already, why not instancing as well.
Originally the uniform wasn't present with the assumption that users
could easily adjust color map offset to achieve the same effect. That
was however unnecessarily annoying and error-prone in cases where it's
essential to have the same object IDs from multiple draws have a
matching color, and it was complicating multidraw workflows as the color
map offset was not a part of per-draw data, but rather material data.
Apmong other things where it's useful for end users as a more convenient
alternative to recreating the MeshData by hand, I need to use this
inside the transform() utilities to preserve all index buffer properties
without copypasting nasty code everywhere.
The type is now extended to 32 bits. In the GL and Vk libraries it means
one can now do things like
MeshIndexType type = meshIndexTypeWrap(GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE);
and passing that to GL::Mesh or Vk::Mesh will cause it to use the value
directly, instead of doing a mapping from a generic type. The *real* use
case for this is however to allow custom index buffer representations in
Trade::MeshData. Support for that will be hooked up in the following
commit.
Also not something the classic GPU vertex pipeline can handle, but
useful for other scenarios. Subsequently a support for array indices
will be added, allowing to directly represent for example OBJ files,
where each attribute has its own index buffer.
This is not something the classic GPU vertex pipeline can handle
(except maybe Vulkan, which can handle zero strides for instanced
attributes?), but useful for other scenarios. This means existing code
needs to be aware of and handle the new corner case.
Since the main speed advantage of the function is that it hashes a
*whole* vertex together instead of going through the attribute arrays
one by one, it can't really operate on whatever funny interleaved layout
it was given as there may be padding bytes with random content, breaking
the deduplication.
Since checking that a layout is really padding-less is rather complex,
the repacking is now performed always. This also means the && overload
makes no sense anymore and thus it was dropped.
This makes the test added in the previous commit not assert anymore, and
behave the same as the padding-less case.
