That just makes no sense, as one then has to explicitly call disable()
to not have printStatistics() produce a useless line in the output.
Also have the same behavior also if it's constructed or set up from an
empty list of measurements, since that should be equivalent.
These are all just minor off-by-one errors, nothing to worry about.
Except maybe for that one case with MeshTools::compile() but the rest of
the image renders fine, so it's not like I'd have some critical issue
there.
Wanted to add a proper variant that reads all layers at once into an
Image3D, but that requires the Image APIs to be made less crappy first.
So it's just this for noew because now I badly need it for
Text::DistanceFieldGlyphCacheArrayGL tests.
Interesting, the shader reinterpret code was added in 2016 but nothing
mentions *why* it was needed, what driver actually needs that. In 2025
all drivers I tested with are happy just with a passthrough.
Which means, this reinterpret is still only ever done in a single
overload of these APIs, reading to a buffer or reading a cube map
doesn't have this code path.
I just don't see a point in those. PBOs are for when a roundtrip through
a CPU memory would be wasteful, but these utils are mainly for use in
tests. Definitely not for being called several times per frame, because
the temporary framebuffer creation just doesn't make sense. Not sure
what was I thinking in 2016 when I added those, apart from "feature
parity for no practical reason".
Because there's no format that'd have more than 256-byte pixels anyway,
the theoretically biggest one would be RGBA64F or some such with 32
bytes. Nevertheless, an assert is now in place to verify the bounds as
well as ensuring the pixel size is not zero.
Compared to Corrade, the improvement in compile time is about a minute
cumulative across all cores, or about 8 seconds on an 8-core system (~2
minutes before, ~1:52 after). Not bad at all. And this is with a
deprecated build, the non-deprecated build is 1:48 -> 1:41.
Ugh. Was using this to verify that the glyph cache was correctly
populated, only to end up with a GL error that I thought was coming from
the glyph cache itself and not here. Wasted too much time on that.
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.
Not that C++ STL and exceptions would be anything to take inspiration
from, but there's std::out_of_range. Python IndexError is also specified
as "index out of range", not "bounds".
Partially needed to avoid build breakages because Corrade itself
switched as well, partially because a cleanup is always good. Done
except for (STL-heavy) code that's deprecated or SceneGraph-related APIs
that are still quite full of STL as well.
Originally it was just assuming that any Vector3ub or Color3ub is a
normalized format. That was kinda enough for many cases, but it started
to get annoying with sRGB image comparisons, as those had to be
manually reinterpret with a sRGB-less format in order to pass.
Now the pixel format detection looks at the expected image format as
well, and if the underlying type and component count matches, it
inherits the sRGB and normalized property from it as well. If not, it
falls back to an integer format for vectors, and normalized format for
colors. For vectors this is different from previous behavior but
shouldn't cause any problem in practice -- the only result will be that
the image comparison fails with a different message for pixel format
mismatch than before.
This now also properly and fully tests the pixelFormatFor() helper, and
adds a missing Color3 specialization of it.
Integer / packed formats are the majority of uses for this utility, and
for them the additional complexity with NaN and infinity handling isn't
needed at all.
Running ShadersMeshVisualizerGLTest with this change in a Debug build
led to its runtime being reduced by about 35%, the total test time
excluding benchmarks went from 14.5 seconds to 11. Not bad.
Similar to the change done in Corrade, see the commit for details:

Wow, this is probably the most backwards-compatibility code I've ever
written. Can't wait until I can drop all that.
As was done with GL::Buffer::data() back in 2017 -- the size parameter
is way too error prone this way (is it bytes? or multiples of
sizeof(T)?), plus arrayCast() contains a few extra checks that would
have to be replicated here to have the same level of robustness, etc.,
etc.
It limits the support for CMake 3.12+, but it's much less verbose and I
don't expect people to use ancient CMake versions with IDEs like Xcode
or VS anyway, so this should be fine.
Basically mirroring the changes done for Corrade::Compare::*File*,
including storing the filenames as string views to avoid unnecessary
copies (and then paying extra attention to not pass temporaries to them
in its own tests).
Otherwise unrelated error messages such as file read failures would get
included, making the tests fail. The Debug output on the other hand
isn't used for any internal reporting.
