Doxygen 1.12 has no longer a completely insane matcher and discards
those as it should. With 1.8.17 classes had to be referenced with
Corrade:: but functions, typedefs and variables didn't need to be and it
was a complete utter chaos.
An ad-hoc solution was already done in DebugTools::screenshot(), now I
need it in another place. While not as fast as the O(1) mapping from
the generic format to the API-specific ones due to the potentially
linear lookup, it definitely could be useful in general.
For consistency with how VertexFormat and other enum helpers are named.
The compressedBlockSize() and compressedBlockDataSize() is also renamed
to compressedPixelFormatBlockSize() and
compressedPixelFormatBlockDataSize().
While backwards compatibility aliases are in place, a breaking change
is that Image classes now look for pixelFormatSize() instead of
pixelSize(). This is used e.g. when passing GL::PixelFormat /
GL::PixelType to the image classes, instead of the generic PixelFormat.
While useful, it's unlikely that any project was defining their own
pixel format enum and pixelSize() for a D3D or Metal renderer or
whatnot, so the breakage should have no practical impact.
It was mistakenly thought to be replaced by the EXT_color_buffer_float
(which replaces WEBGL_color_buffer_float and in addition lists both 16-
and 32-bit float variants). But since there are still those stupid
patents for rendering to 32-bit float attachments, certain hardware
supports only rendering to 16-bit and not 32-bit, so the "superset"
extension isn't enough to be able to discover which hardware can
render to half-floats.
Also updated (hopefully all) docs to list this extension as being an
option on WebGL 2 as well.
Apparently "pixel size" could have meant "image size in pixels" as well.
Additionally also clarify what image size means, since it might be
unclear especially for the block-compressed images.
Should make new things more discoverable, avoid confusion when a
documented API isn't there and reduce the need for maintaining multiple
separate versions of the docs.
GL has an extension, but only for ES, not on desktop. Vulkan has
nothing yet (due to there being just ARM that implements it, no other
vendor), except those being listed in a KTX format specification.
Those are now also available under WebGL 1/2 and OpenGL ES 3.O (strangely
not OpenGL ES 2.0) under EXT_texture_compression_{rgtc,bptc}. The GL names
are extra weird-ass now that all other APIs use the BC names.
Deprecated for 2018.04, it's been almost a year since. Whoever is using
Magnum regularly updated already, and who not can always upgrade
gradually (2018.02, 2018.04, 2018.10, 2019.01 etc.).
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).
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.
