Together with SamplerFilter, SamplerMipmap and SamplerWrapping enums
convertible from the generic versions, which finally deprecate the
last remaining vk*() conversion functions in Enums.h and thus the whole
header as well. The EnumsTest executable is also no more, as the rest of
it now resides inside SamplerTest.
Together with:
* CommandBuffer::draw()
* Support for indexed and non-indexed meshes
* Support for setting primitive and stride dynamically
I took one shortcut and vkCmdBindVertexBuffers() is currently called
once for each binding. The interface is ready for this, but I'm not yet
100% sure how to test that it actually does batch the buffers, so it's
left at the lazy implementation for now.
Next up is *the unthinkable*, a Vk::Mesh. After that I'll finally have
enough APIs exposed to document everything including command buffer
recording and submission.
Similar to PixelFormat, to filter out values that make no sense as a
vertex format (such as sRGB) and add others (such as doubles). And
documenting which are guaranteed to be supported and which not. The
hasVkFormat(Magnum::VertexFormat) and vkFormat(Magnum::VertexFormat)
were also deprecated in favor of the new hasVertexFormat() /
vertexFormat() APIs.
I was slowly getting cancer from having to write the unreadably awful
VK_FORMAT_R666G666B666A666_SRGB all the time. Besides that:
- All pixel formats are documented to show what's guaranteed for them
by the spec. Pretty useful I'd say.
- The old hasVkFormat() and vkFormat() converters operating on a
VkFormat are deprecated in favor of new hasPixelFormat() and
pixelFormat() that use the PixelFormat enum. Similarly as done in the
GL wrapper.
- All APIs that took a VkFormat before take a PixelFormat now, together
with having conveinience overloads for Magnum::PixelFormat and
Magnum::CompressedPixelFormat. Again similarly as done in the GL
wrapper, also the first step on being able to *directly* use data
imported with the Trade library with Vulkan.
GL was missing a check whether given format is available on a target
(for example double types are not on ES), and for Vulkan we need something
similar to pixel format mapping as well.
Better for checking accidents, as picking a wrong primitive / index type
can lead to *serious* rendering issues. Similarly to a change done to
(Compressed)PixelFormat in 2019.10.
