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.
The methods return reference instead of pointer, as the class is
commonly created on the stack. Removed static functions
Shader::fromFile() and Shader::fromData(), as they are not needed now.
Also asserting that the file exists and is readable in addFile().
