And use static functions with an explicit "self" pointer instead. Those
have half the size (8 vs 16 bytes on 64bit x86), which in turn reduces
the state tracker memory use by about 750 bytes. On desktop GL with an
Intel GPU & Mesa this reduces the state tracker allocation size by almot
10%, from 8.3 kB to 7.6 kB. Not bad.
Apart from small memory savings, this also removes the need to include
the full class definiton from the State headers on MSVC (because
on that compiler the member function pointer size is different based on
whether the type definition is known or not, IMAGINE THAT BEING A
FEATURE AND NOT A BUG), leading to less header dependencies and better
incremental compile times there.
This was already done in some cases (and the Vk library used this from
the beginning), and as I'm about to add some more extension-dependent
functionality it felt like a good time to finish that change, finally.
In some cases the *Implementation() could even be dropped in favor of
pointing to the GL API directly (such as is already done for various
glUniform*() calls), that'd be another step -- this is good enough for
now.
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.
'cuz I was writing some raw GL for Emscripten tests and arrived at
glClear(GL_COLOR);
without having any suspicion that this is just TOTALLY WRONG. Same
would go for Vulkan few years ahead when I'm so used to the Magnum
wrappers that I forget what the common pitfalls are.
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.
Not sure what I thought here, but using GL_IMPLEMENTATION_COLOR_READ_*
with glGetFramebufferParameteriv() is possible only since GL 4.5
(there's no extension adding it) and there's no equivalent for it in
GLES 3.1. I assumed that since the entry point is defined in 3.1 then it
would also accept the same enum, but apparently not -- and this
inconsistency is not fixed in 3.2 either.
Funnily enough, all drivers I tried (Mesa ES, SwiftShader, ANGLE) were
accepting this. The first driver that complained was ARM Mali on Huawei
P10 and there I assumed a driver bug -- but on the contrary, this is the
only driver following the spec properly :)
Now the glGetFramebufferParameteriv() API (and the DSA equivalent) is
used only on GL 4.5 contexts and up, everywhere else it's done using
the old-style glGetInteger(). I also renamed the implementations to not
misleadingly mention ES 3.1, since it has nothing to do with this. The
code path dispatch code is a bit entangled due to all the workarounds,
hopefully not breaking any behavior that worked before.
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 AbstractFramebuffer constructor is now constexpr, but that doesn't
mean we can have GL::defaultFramebuffer constexpr -- all member
functions are (by design) non-const and we also need to modify its
viewport value quite often. So this has to stay as-is.
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.
Followup to previous commit -- links to opengl.org are now redirected to
khronos.org and the extension links have the same format for both GL and
GLES. That allows me to remove some of the Doxygen aliases and use just
a single set of the functions for both GL and GLES.
Yeah, sorry, I know, the enums are renamed for second or third time in a
row, first they were Image::Format, then ImageFormat, then ColorFormat
and now PixelFormat. But this time it's final and last time they are
renamed and now everything is finally consistent:
* ColorFormat::DepthComponent -- depth is not a color, thus
PixelFormat::DepthComponent makes a lot more sense.
* There will be PixelStorage classes, which will be stored in images
alonside PixelFormat/PixelType enums, making everything nicely
aligned.
* The GL documentation about glTexImage2D() etc. denotes the <format>
and <type> parameters as format and type of *pixel* data, so now we
are _finally_ consistent with the official naming.
I wonder why did I not choose PixelFormat originally. Anyway, the old
<Magnum/ColorFormat.h> header, ColorFormat, ColorType and
CompressedColorFormat types are now aliases to the new ones, are marked
as deprecated and will be removed in some future release (as always, I'm
waiting at least six months before removing the deprecated
functionality).
