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.
Do I have to repeat it? Oh and also it produces warnings ONLY if given
function is used, so I guess the user code has *a lot* more warnings of
this kind.
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(...);
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.
As we are now using absolute includes, there is no need to prefix
everything with "magnum<Namespace>" etc. All generated configuration
files are renamed to configure.h and their path is included _before_
everything else to avoid accidental collisions.
The only places where they aren't absolute are:
- when header is included from corresponding source file
- when including headers which are not part of final installation (e.g.
test-specific configuration, headers from Implementation/)
Everything what was in src/ is now in src/Corrade, everything from
src/Plugins is now in src/MagnumPlugins, everything from external/ is in
src/MagnumExternal. Added new CMakeLists.txt file and updated the other
ones for the moves, no other change was made. If MAGNUM_BUILD_DEPRECATED
is set, everything compiles and installs like previously except for the
plugins, which are now in MagnumPlugins and not in Magnum/Plugins.
Can't test EXT_debug_label, as that is apparently OSX 10.9-only. Added
GL tests for all implemented objects. KHR_debug is selected first, if
that is not available, fall back to EXT_debug_label. If neither is
available, the functions are no-op.
I hope EXT_debug_label gets replaced by KHR_debug later, thus it is now
only "emulated" through KHR_debug enums.
Passing pointer as function parameter will now mean that it is possible
to pass `nullptr`. Some code examples now look like the parameter is
copied instead of referenced, which is misleading. Updated the
documentation to reflect that more clearly.
Separated EXT_framebuffer_object, EXT_framebuffer_blit,
EXT_framebuffer_multisample and EXT_packed_depth_stencil don't have the
same functionality as ARB_framebuffer_object (e.g. missing
GL_FRAMEBUFFER_UNDEFINED in glCheckFramebufferStatus()) and separated
read/draw binding is only in EXT_framebuffer_blit, which complicates the
internals.
Checked with Mesa 8/9 and OpenGL 2.1, current one has
ARB_framebuffer_object and also all these four, Mesa 7.7 didn't have
EXT_framebuffer_multisample, but that's a long time ago, so not
supporting these separate extensions shouldn't be an issue.
The problem with unavailable separate binding points remains on OpenGL
ES 2.0, there are three different extensions bringing that
functionality, thus the code managing the available binding points
remains there.
Advantages:
* The enums were large (600-800 lines) and they polluted the header,
now they are in separate files (except for BufferTexture, which has
the enum small enough to be left in the same file).
* Image classes now don't need to include OpenGL headers, as they were
needed only for the enum values. With advantage of C++11's forward
enum declarations there is no need to include the enum headers
anywhere in implementation, only when particular values are needed.
* The values are now less verbose:
AbstractTexture::InternalFormat::RGB8 // before
TextureFormat::RGB8 // now
* Resolved another "trivial choice" problem (thanks @JanDupal for
introducing this term to me): how to specify the format if there are
ten ways to do it (some being massively confusing):
Image2D::Format f = AbstractImage::Format::RGB; // too long...
Image2D::Format f = Image3D::Format::RGBA; // why 3D? this works?
Image2D::Format f = BufferImage1D::Format::RGBA; // wat?
It is even worse (and more verbose) with textures:
Texture2D::InternalFormat f =
CubeMapTextureArray::InternalFormat::RGB8; // this is allowed?
To have consistent naming this change was done also with
BufferTexture::InternalFormat (now BufferTextureFormat), although there
were no trivial choice issues and the enum isn't too large. But at least
it is now less typing.
OpenGL includes are ~35k lines together and it is a waste of
compilation time to include them even if they are not needed at all
(e.g. whole SceneGraph and Physics libraries). Saves ~10s of compilation
time (6:46 before, now 6:35).
