Much easier to write (and explain!) than Shaders::VertexColor2D::Color{
Shaders::VertexColor2D::Color::Components::Three}. Ugh. Why again it
took me *years* to realize?
Too deep nesting, too much typing. Colon cancer. Fully preserving
backwards compatibility, except for the recently added cone/frustum
intersection functions, which were not in master yet.
The Platform::*Application::Configuration class was split into
Configuration and GLConfiguration, the latter containing only
GL-specific configuration. Moreover, createContext() and
tryCreateContext() were renamed to create() / tryCreate().
There's now a constructor and a create() / tryCreate() overload taking
GLConfiguration and this will be later extended with VkConfiguration,
for example. GL-specific getters/setters from Configuration are now
marked as deprecated and merged into GLConfiguration during context
creation.
Everything has still hard dependency on GL, that will be done in the
next commits.
Because now with the generic formats all images that are in
PixelFormat::R8Unorm are translated to GL::PixelFormat::Luminance on ES2
and WebGL 1. The DistanceFieldGlyphCache still has the original, but
that one didn't really work there in the first place. That'll get
patched later.
Was Magnum::GL::Extensions::GL before and the redundancy was completely
unnecessary. Potential future extensions coming from GLX, EGL or whatnot
will most probably be in the Platform namespace in a completely separate
file, so this is not a problem.
All code internal to the GL library is affected, not much the outside,
as that is handled by the compatibility alias.
The MAGNUM_ASSERT_VERSION_SUPPORTED(),
MAGNUM_ASSERT_EXTENSION_SUPPORTED(), MAGNUM_VERIFY_NO_ERROR() macros are
now MAGNUM_ASSERT_GL_VERSION_SUPPORTED(),
MAGNUM_ASSERT_GL_EXTENSION_SUPPORTED() and MAGNUM_VERIFY_NO_GL_ERROR().
Backwards-compatible aliases are in the original headers, as usual.
The Sampler class was split into GL::Sampler (which is now mostly just a
placeholder for implementing OpenGL sampler objects), pairs of generic /
GL-specific SamplerFormat / GL::SamplerFormat, SamplerMipmap /
GL::SamplerMipmap, SamplerWrapping / GL::SamplerWrapping enums and the
GL-specific GL::SamplerCompareMode, GL::SamplerCompareFunction,
GL::SamplerDepthStencilMode enums.
The old Sampler class is marked as deprecated and aliases its enum to
the generic enums (or to the GL-specific ones in case the generic
versions are not available).
Similarly to pixel formats, there is now generic Magnum::MeshPrimitive
and Magnum::MeshIndexType, which is convertible to GL::MeshPrimitive and
GL::MeshIndexType using GL::meshPrimitive() and GL::meshIndexType(). In
addition, the following is done:
* The original GL::Mesh::IndexType is now GL::MeshIndexType, original
name is now just a typedef.
* GL::Mesh::indexSize() is deprecated in favor of
Magnum::meshIndexTypeSize() and GL::Mesh::indexTypeSize().
* New GL::Mesh::indexType() and GL::MeshView::mesh() getters (not sure
why they were omitted)
* GL::Mesh::indexType(), GL::Mesh::indexTypeSize(),
GL::MeshView::setIndexRange() now expect that the mesh is indexed
(useful property in my opinion, also avoids getting random results).
* The extra MeshPrimitive::LinesAdjacency etc. are still present for
backwards compatibility, but marked as deprecated. Use
GL::MeshPrimitive values instead.
It was returning either pixel size or compressed block size, which is
now available directly via other means.
This is a breaking change, but I don't expect these functions to be
used widely beyond Magnum internals.
This is quite big, so:
* There are new Magnum::PixelFormat and Magnum::CompressedPixelFormat
enums, which contain generic API-independent formats. In particular,
PixelFormat replaces GL::PixelFormat and GL::PixelType with a single
value.
* There's GL::pixelFormat(), GL::pixelType(),
GL::compressedPixelFormat() to convert the generic enums to
GL-specific. The mapping is only in one direction, done with a lookup
table (generic enums are indices to that table).
* GL classes taking the formats directly (such as GL::BufferImage) have
overloads that take both the GL-specific and generic format.
* The generic Image, CompressedImage, ImageView, CompressedImageView,
and Trade::ImageData classes now accept the generic formats
first-class. However, it's also possible to store an
implementation-specific value to cover cases where a generic format
enum doesn't have support for a particular format. This is done by
wrapping the value using pixelFormatWrap() or
compressedPixelFormatWrap(). Particular GPU APIs then assume it's
their implementation-specific value and extract the value back using
pixelFormatUnwrap() or compressedPixelFormatUnwrap(). There's also an
isPixelFormatImplementationSpecific() and
isCompressedPixelFormatImplementationSpecific() that distinguishes
these values.
* Many operations need pixel size and in order to have it even for
implementation-specific formats, a corresponding pixelSize()
overload is found via ADL on construction and the calculated size
stored along the format. Previously the pixel size was only
calculated on demand, but that's not possible now. In case such
overload is not available, it's possible to pass pixel size manually
as well.
* In order to support the GL format+type pair, Image, ImageView and
Trade::ImageData, there's now an additional untyped formatExtra()
field that holds the second value.
* The CompressedPixelStorage class is now unconditionally available on
all targets, including OpenGL ES and WebGL. However, on OpenGL ES the
GL APIs expect that it's all at default values.
I attempted to preserve backwards compatibility as much as possible:
* The PixelFormat and CompressedPixelFormat enum now contains generic
API-independent values. The GL-specific formats are present there,
but marked as deprecated. Use either the generic values or
GL::PixelFormat (togehter with GL::PixelType) and
GL::CompressedPixelFormat instead. There's a lot of ugliness caused
by this, but seems to work well.
* *Image::type() functions are deprecated as they were too
GL-specific. Use formatExtra() and cast it to GL::PixelType instead.
* Image constructors take templated format or format+extra arguments,
so passing GL-specific values to them should still work.
The general part stays in the root namespace, while the GL-specific
stuff goes to the GL namespace. Also all GL-specific documentation was
moved to relevant APIs in the GL namespace. This finally allows me to
build PixelStorage.cpp as part of the root namespace.
The PixelStorage::pixelSize() function and
PixelStorage::dataProperties() taking a pair of GL::PixelFormat /
GL::PixelType enums is deprecated, use GL::pixelSize() and
dataProperties() taking pixel size directly instead. A lot of code is
still using these, including images; the deprecated aliases are inlined
in the header to avoid a compile-time dependency on the GL library.
At the moment just the GL library itself w/o the tests, and without
backwards compatibility aliases. The following types were left in the
root namespace, despite being in the GL/ directory, as they will get
moved back soon:
* Image, CompressedImage and their dimensional typedefs
* ImageView, CompressedImageView and their dimensional typedefs
* PixelStorage
Not PixelFormat etc., that one will stay in the GL namespace and a
completely new PixelFormat enum will be provided in the root namespace.
Minimal updates (just the include guards) so Git is hopefully able to
detect the rename and track the history properly.
Everything except Magnum::GL doesn't compile now.
