The previous callback pointer was needed just to disambiguate, so it can
be a bool; the user pointer can be set from the caller already instead
of being done in each variant again.
A bunch of new GLES- and WebGL-specific draw() variants got added in
b30d313ecd over a year ago, but so far
they weren't exposed in any of the Shaders because it'd mean a lot of
nasty copypasting and I just didn't like that.
So instead, there's a new macro to handle this messy work, and also
tested in order to ensure everything is still as it should be and that
it works even outside the Magnum namespace. This makes it much easier to
add new draw() variants (such as indirect draws, *finally*), without
having to update every shader implementation under the sun.
One difference is that I'm now allowing drawTransformFeedback() always
-- because that makes sense. It *is* possible to use a regular shader to
draw a result of a XFB, so it doesn't make sense to attempt to block
that.
The change to Shaders will be done in the next commit.
It's four pointers, twice as much as what would be acceptable. Not sure
why this happened, maybe because all those cases used an ArrayView
before and so I just changed the type without considering the difference
in its size?
Unfortunately this change also means a bump in the plugin interface
string, thus all scene converter plugins have to be updated as well.
Of course I used the wrong `CORRADE_FAIL_IF(false, ...)` in a few
places. Yet another confirmation it was too hard to use and a dedicated
macro is needed.
The #line directive behaves differently on GLSL < 330. Who would have
thought. Another "fun" implication is that I didn't notice this until
now -- seems like I didn't really write any shader since that
needed compatibility with old GL since 2012?? Heh.
It's actually different in old and new GLSL, gotta account for that to
not have the errors always off-by-one. The test currently passes only
with GLSL > 330.
These two options were mutually exclusive, and both were doing the same
thing -- switching to EGL on desktop GL, or switching away from EGL on
GLES. That made all logic vastly more complicated than it should be, and
unfortunately it took me half a decade to realize that. The new logic is
significantly simpler everywhere.
As usual, the old options are still recognized by CMake on a deprecated
build (with a warning), and are still exposed both as CMake variables
and a preprocessor define. But the logic for them was quite complicated,
so I don't guarantee all cases are covered.
I also tried to clean up the dependent CMake options to allow building
GLX and WGL apps on GLES independently of whether EGL is used, but it's
quite a mess due to the limitations of CMake < 3.22. Build directories
that have the options switched randomly over a long time might start
misbehaving, but the initial build should work well.
The whole class was a bad idea, why create something that's 99% similar
to another application and has just one platform-specific workaround? Of
course it resulted in this code being completely untested and not even
built anywhere, because it served a tiny insignificant use case.
To avoid losing all the code, I did my best in attempting to merge this
into the WindowlessEglApplication. But since, again, EGL isn't
really used on any Windows platform, I can't even say it builds
properly. Maybe not even the original code built.
Consistently with checkLink(), this avoids having to explicitly include
both Iterable and Reference in shader code. Alsod allowing people to
have direct arrays of shaders, runtime-sized lists of shaders etc.
A compat include is provided on a deprecated build to avoid breaking
existing code.
The whole time I thought this class doesn't need such APIs due to being
rather short-lived. But now with async shader compilation it's no longer
so short-lived.
There's no reason for those to exist anymore -- origiinally they were
added in a hopeful attempt to make use of parallel shader compilation,
but in practice that meant compiling at most two or three shaders at
once and still stalling until that was done, so not that great at all.
The new APIs provide much better opportunities for parallelism.
Fun fact:
CORRADE_INTERNAL_ASSERT_OUTPUT(vert.compile() && frag.compile());
is actually one character shorter than
CORRADE_INTERNAL_ASSERT_OUTPUT(GL::Shader::compile({vert, frag}));
so not even typing convenience would be a reason to keep these.
The new async APIs were just checking the link status, and printing the
linker error. Because drivers commonly do all that in a single step,
without really separating compilation from linking (or at least that's
what I thought?), I assumed the linker error would contain *also* the
compilation error, if any.
But on a quick check with Mesa that's not the case, I only get "error:
linking with uncompiled/unspecialized shader", which is very useless.
Which means, to get proper error output, the checkLink() function now
explicitly takes a list of the input shaders. It will unconditionally go
through them at the beginning and call checkCompile() on each.
To further encourage the shaders to be passed, there's no default
argument -- so if the application calls checkCompile() on its own for
some reason, it has to pass an empty list to checkLink().
Until now it relied on the driver adding a \n after each message. Which
happened in 99% cases, but sometimes not, and it is really annoying in
that case. Right now I witnessed Mesa giving me a non-newlined message
if I call checkLink() and a shader compilation failed before, resulting
in nasty output like
error: linking with uncompiled/unspecialized shaderAssertion checkLink() failed at /home/mosra/Code/magnum/src/Magnum/Shaders/FlatGL.cpp:248
And I bet I encountered other weird cases, like there being two
newlines, or the message being just a newline without any other content,
thus spamming the output on every compilation. It's not practical to try
to find driver-specific workarounds here, so I'm just trimming always
and then rely on Debug adding its own newline after.
Because it somewhat confusingly may have implied that it's really
composed of 8-bit bools, and not bits. The same reasoning was used to
pick the name for Corrade's Containers::BitArray.
Backwards compatibility aliases are in place as usual, however the
internal BoolVectorConverter is now BitVectorConverter and there
unfortunately cannot be any backwards compatibility. This breaks only
GLM and Eigen integration in the magnum-integration repo, which I'm
fixing immediately. I don't expect any user code to use this internal
helper. For regular vectors maybe, for this one definitely not.
Array texture and cubemap (array) subimage queries get
ImageFlag*D::Array, cubemap whole image ImageFlag3D::CubeMap, cubemap
array whole image get ImageFlag3D::CubeMap and ImageFlag3D::Array. No
flags are checked when uploading images or when downloading images to
views -- using an array texture as a cube map and vice versa is a valid
case, and others are probably also, so there's no point.
The flag restrictions will come into place when ImageFlag*D::YUp / YDown
etc. are a thing.
