Hey, do you also remember the times where people were excited to upgrade
from Clang 3.6 to 3.7, GCC 4.7 to 4.8 or Firefox 1.1 to Firefox 1.5? Not
Clang 12 to 14, GCC 10 to 13 or Chrome 102 to 126.
Eheh. But given that nobody complained for so long, it means nobody uses
those ancient versions anymore. Or nobody uses DebugTools, that's more
like it.
Counterpart to d07b6a2bb4, which did this
for sceneconverter (I should really do changes in both at the same
time). Additionally, it's not saying "uncompressed" for images anymore,
since it's more confusing than just saying nothing, especially when
block-compressed formats are involved.
Which allows to get rid of a now-unneeded ArrayView include in the
header. Also, now that we're returning a StringView, it's useful to
have the view always null-terminated. In SDL2 and Emscripten it was
already like that, GLFW needed a minor change.
Since glGetBufferSubData() is only exposed on Emscripten 2.0.17 and up,
both functions are not available on older versions. This is to avoid any
accidental foot guns since it explodes at compile time. The webgl2 CI
will be upgraded to 2.0.17 in a later commit.
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.
For animations, scenes, meshes and images, where the memory impact is
measurable. For others such as materials or cameras the memory impact is
either unclear (depending on the final representation) or so small it's
not important.
Because yes of course dealing with a JSON just isn't possible
without having to make decisions between insufficiently imprecise
integers and unnecessarly overprecise doubles.
I.e., with the intention to be implemented in the best way possible,
without relying on some 3rd party library with murky corner cases and
questionable tradeoffs.
Not available on GLES2, similar to BufferAttachment but with the added
constraint that WebGL1 doesn't support invalidating attachments at all.
Not adding this for DefaultFramebuffer since that takes different target
values, and GL_DEPTH_STENCIL is not one of them.
This makes it possible to conveniently do things like
Containers::StridedArrayView1D<Float> array = …;
Vector4 vector{NoInit};
Utility::copy(array, vector); // or the other way around
which is especially useful together with the new JSON classes. In some
cases this means the function is no longer constexpr, but those weren't
constexpr because it was useful for anything, they were only because it
was possible. So this breakage shouldn't do any harm I think.
Certain Clang-based IDEs (CLion) "emulate" a compiler by inheriting all
its defines, which means one gets __clang__ defined but also __GNUC__
set to 11 or whatever, breaking all these assumptions.
While branching on a compiler is rather common, checking a particular
compiler version should be needed only rarely. Thus minimize use of such
macros to make them easier to grep for.
Yay, I can abuse/reuse the features I had to add to flextGL because of
GOOGLE!!!, and with only one additional patch to support local xml
files I can very conveniently include whatever entrypoints I need.
I realized those are too annoying when writing a glTF exporter which
contains a lot of switches over enums. And as further shown by the diff,
those were only inflicting additional pain in *all* switch statements,
nothing else, no other added value. And everywhere else the helpers are
the designated way to deal with those, so there's no point in having an
explicit enum value denoting start of a "custom range".
It wasn't even any convenient to have it in the enum, as the extra
effort needed for casting actually made it *exactly* the same length as
if I'd just use a separately-defined constant.
Like, it's a *debug printer*, why an inline call would matter in there.
Or maybe it's that the debug printer was done way earlier than the
helpers? ... and then copied, without a brain attached to my head, from
MeshData to the new SceneData?
