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.
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.).
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.
Pre-DSA code paths need to specify for which face we are querying the
level parameters, which meant that all other calls had to specify the
(implicit) target too. I'm also preparing to put a cubemap-specific
workaround in the level parameter query and that really shouldn't be
present in the generic implementation for all texture types.
The other place where a specific target is needed is in setImage()
implementations, but these are rather big chunks of code and I don't
feel like copying these verbatim to cubemap implementation just to
isolate the workaround in one place.
Pre-DSA code path needs to pass specific slice of a cube map to all
getters instead of just GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP. I did that properly for
image size query, which weirdly enough, had its own implementation, but
forgot to do that in compressed image getters and, because I have DSA
drivers, never tested that on pre-DSA contexts.
Using single implementation of image size with explicit target
parameter now.
Similarly to what's now done with NoInit tags for Containers::Array and
all math types such as Vector, there's now NoCreate tag for creating
wrappers without actually creating the underlying OpenGL object. The
instance is then equivalent to moved-from state. Useful to avoid
needless creation/deletion of OpenGL object in case you would overwrite
the instance later anyway:
Mesh mesh{NoCreate};
std::unique_ptr<Buffer> indices, vertices;
std::tie(mesh, indices, vertices) = MeshTools:compile(...);
ARB_DSA is now preferred in single-bind cases, as it is easier to use
than passing pointers to ARB_multi_bind. ARB_multi_bind was preferred
for single-bind previously simply because EXT_DSA was not in core.
Because there is a lot to say about feature selection for each function,
I took this as a opportunity to remove redundant documentation blocks,
just refer to Texture documentation from everywhere and add extension
requirements and deprecation where needed, so it's clear for each class
what needs what.
ARB_DSA also took the opportunity to finally remove all target enum
values from function calls and because of that the CubeMapTexture has to
handle a bunch of special cases. In order:
- CubeMapTexture::imageSize() now doesn't take face parameter and
returns one value for all faces. I'm thus now also assuming that the
user is sane and called either setStorage() or setImage() with the
same size for all faces. In non-ARB_DSA path I'm thus querying only
size of +X face and returning it as size for all faces. The old
imageSize(Coordinate, Int) overload is still present, but ignores
the first parameter and calls imageSize(Int). It is marked as
deprecated and will be removed in some future release.
- CubeMapTexture::image() now needs to call glTextureSubImage() in
ARB_DSA path to make it possible to extract single face. Other code
paths (EXT_DSA, Robustness and "default") remain the same.
- CubeMapTexture::setSubImage() calls glTextureSubImage3D() in
ARB_DSA, because it is not possible to specify face index in
glTextureSubImage2D(). Other code paths (EXT_DSA and "default")
remain the same.
Implementation of these special cases is extracted into CubeMapTexture
class to avoid pollution of AbstractTexture with incompatible nonsense.
In most cases the label is set directly from code, e.g.:
texture.setLabel("diffuse-duck");
Avoiding conversion to std::string and passing char(&)[size] directly
will avoid one allocation and deallocation. Better solution would be to
use std::string_view everywhere, but we're not in C++17 yet.
Why did I do this:
* It is more clean, shorter and nice looking with method chaining,
i.e. instead of:
shader.setColor(...)
.setOtherParam(5);
texture1.bind(MyShader::Texture1Layer);
texture2.bind(MyShader::Texture2Layer);
We now have this:
shader.setColor(...)
.setOtherParam(5)
.setTexture1(texture1)
.setTexture2(texture2);
* It is now also clear which texture type is expected, the layer
constant did not say anything about type.
* Also it is possible to use new features (multi bind, bindless
textures etc.) while preserving the same public API.
The only potential disadvantage is that the textures don't stay bound
like uniform values do, but this become a non-issue with bindless
textures. As usual, the old way is now deprecated and will be removed in
some future release.
