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.
This is always true in the single-draw case, since setDrawOffset()
asserts on this. In the multi-draw case this optimization doesn't make
sense, because it doesn't make sense to create a multidraw shader with
just one draw.
On an Intel 630 GPU this resulted in single-draw single-material Phong
to go from 550 ms to 440, which is roughly a 20% improvement. For the
simpler shaders the difference is even higher. The multidraw numbers
stayed the same as before, obviously.
These deliberately share the same binding (because there's very little
space), but the shader wasn't guarding that. Discovered completely by
accident when adding tests for "multidraw with all the things" -- Mesa
gives just a warning, but ANGLE straight out fails the shader
compilation, so better have an assert there.
I just put this aside when I discovered the error, thinking it was a
Mesa bug. Now that ARM Mali yelled about the same, I realized it wasn't
just Mesa.
Note to self: Mesa has no bugs. Can you just finally accept that?!
It probably didn't matter as much as the only platform without
ARB_explicit_uniform_location is Mac, which doesn't have
ARB_shading_language_420pack either.
* Shader compilation failed with vertex, object and primitive ID
enabled due to the NO_GEOMETRY_SHADER define not being correctly
propagated
* Enabling just vertex ID visualization on WebGL caused an assert in
constructor, complaining that "at least one visualization feature has
to be enabled", which is wrong
* Defaults were not correctly set up for vertex ID rendering, causing
all-black render when setColor() wasn't called
* Forgot to list/bundle some ground truth test images for the test
case, causing the test to fail due to files not found
* The test asserted when generating mesh data due to an unhandled
corner case
* The test expected an ES2 assertion message on WebGL 2
* Flag::Wireframe now implicitly enables Flag::NoGeometryShader also on
WebGL. This was done only for ES2 previously, but WebGL doesn't have
(and won't have) geometry shaders, so it makes sense to do the same
there.
It was rendering everything with a plain color, which is rather useless.
Moreover it wasn't consistent with TBN visualization where you might
actually want only the lines rendered and not the triangle.
Bloaty says it saved 10 kB in Debug build of MagnumGL:
VM SIZE FILE SIZE
-------------- --------------
[ = ] 0 .debug_info +1.59Ki +0.0%
+0.4% +1.50Ki .text +1.50Ki +0.4%
[ = ] 0 .debug_str +409 +0.0%
[ = ] 0 .debug_line +276 +0.1%

-28.6% -2 [LOAD [RX]] -2 -28.6%

-22.7% -9.23Ki .rodata -9.23Ki -22.7%
-0.8% -7.73Ki TOTAL -9.73Ki -0.1%
And 4 kB in Release:
VM SIZE FILE SIZE
-------------- --------------
+1.1% +3.44Ki .text +3.44Ki +1.1%
+1.7% +1.39Ki .eh_frame +1.39Ki +1.7%
[ = ] 0 [Unmapped] +656 +51%
-25.5% -9.47Ki .rodata -9.47Ki -25.5%
-0.7% -4.64Ki TOTAL -4.00Ki -0.4%
That's not negative, so I guess that's good. This change is of course
more significant in the context of a minimal WebGL build, where the exe
can be as little as 50 kB -- there 4 kB is almost 10% of the size.
This only generates code that will be never executed. Tested with Flat
and Phong, the other shaders don't have rendering tests yet but since
the change is the same, I assume it will work there as well.
What's left is *a lot* of places taking monstrous
std::vector<std::reference_wrapper> and that can't be changed to
std::vector<Containers::Reference> in a source-compatible way. Even that
would be only a temporary change, since the goal is to fully avoid
dependency on STL in those cases.
The final version of these APIs should take
Containers::ArrayView<Containers::Reference> and be implicitly
convertible froom e.g. std::vector<Containers::Reference>. That's
definitely possible, but not in time for 2019.01, so instead of forcing
users to temporary pass a `{vec.begin(), vec.size()}` everywhere instead
of just `vec`, I'm rather keeping these APIs intact.
DetectedDriver::AMD is now DetectedDriver::Amd,
DetectedDriver::ProbablyAngle is now just DetectedDriver::Angle. The old
names are still present, but deprecated and will be removed in the
future.
103% of use cases use the returned value directly without checking, so
we might as well do the check ourselves. Added new function hasCurrent()
and added deprecated backward-compatibility conversion and -> operators.
Wow, that creeped to a lot of places.
Last dinosaur from the pointer age.
Please note that in ES3 there is a behavioral change -- geometry shader
is no longer explicitly disabled, but it is enabled by default and you
have to disable it if you don't have the required extension or don't
want to use it.
Each class/function that needs to access the resources first checks
whether the group exists and the group is registered if not. Thus there
is now no difference and annoying special cases when using static build.
