Instead of prefixing every value with (Compressed)PixelFormat::,
printing that just once. Also moved the name table to an external header
so it can be used later for configuration value parsing. Compared to
the previous commit, Bloaty reports a save, meaning these two commits in
total save about 4 kB:

GL has an extension, but only for ES, not on desktop. Vulkan has
nothing yet (due to there being just ARM that implements it, no other
vendor), except those being listed in a KTX format specification.
Those are now also available under WebGL 1/2 and OpenGL ES 3.O (strangely
not OpenGL ES 2.0) under EXT_texture_compression_{rgtc,bptc}. The GL names
are extra weird-ass now that all other APIs use the BC names.
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.).
This is quite big, so:
* There are new Magnum::PixelFormat and Magnum::CompressedPixelFormat
enums, which contain generic API-independent formats. In particular,
PixelFormat replaces GL::PixelFormat and GL::PixelType with a single
value.
* There's GL::pixelFormat(), GL::pixelType(),
GL::compressedPixelFormat() to convert the generic enums to
GL-specific. The mapping is only in one direction, done with a lookup
table (generic enums are indices to that table).
* GL classes taking the formats directly (such as GL::BufferImage) have
overloads that take both the GL-specific and generic format.
* The generic Image, CompressedImage, ImageView, CompressedImageView,
and Trade::ImageData classes now accept the generic formats
first-class. However, it's also possible to store an
implementation-specific value to cover cases where a generic format
enum doesn't have support for a particular format. This is done by
wrapping the value using pixelFormatWrap() or
compressedPixelFormatWrap(). Particular GPU APIs then assume it's
their implementation-specific value and extract the value back using
pixelFormatUnwrap() or compressedPixelFormatUnwrap(). There's also an
isPixelFormatImplementationSpecific() and
isCompressedPixelFormatImplementationSpecific() that distinguishes
these values.
* Many operations need pixel size and in order to have it even for
implementation-specific formats, a corresponding pixelSize()
overload is found via ADL on construction and the calculated size
stored along the format. Previously the pixel size was only
calculated on demand, but that's not possible now. In case such
overload is not available, it's possible to pass pixel size manually
as well.
* In order to support the GL format+type pair, Image, ImageView and
Trade::ImageData, there's now an additional untyped formatExtra()
field that holds the second value.
* The CompressedPixelStorage class is now unconditionally available on
all targets, including OpenGL ES and WebGL. However, on OpenGL ES the
GL APIs expect that it's all at default values.
I attempted to preserve backwards compatibility as much as possible:
* The PixelFormat and CompressedPixelFormat enum now contains generic
API-independent values. The GL-specific formats are present there,
but marked as deprecated. Use either the generic values or
GL::PixelFormat (togehter with GL::PixelType) and
GL::CompressedPixelFormat instead. There's a lot of ugliness caused
by this, but seems to work well.
* *Image::type() functions are deprecated as they were too
GL-specific. Use formatExtra() and cast it to GL::PixelType instead.
* Image constructors take templated format or format+extra arguments,
so passing GL-specific values to them should still work.
The general part stays in the root namespace, while the GL-specific
stuff goes to the GL namespace. Also all GL-specific documentation was
moved to relevant APIs in the GL namespace. This finally allows me to
build PixelStorage.cpp as part of the root namespace.
The PixelStorage::pixelSize() function and
PixelStorage::dataProperties() taking a pair of GL::PixelFormat /
GL::PixelType enums is deprecated, use GL::pixelSize() and
dataProperties() taking pixel size directly instead. A lot of code is
still using these, including images; the deprecated aliases are inlined
in the header to avoid a compile-time dependency on the GL library.
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.
Since 98a676ef65, on ES2 and WebGL1 the
Texture::setStorage() emulation passes the pixel format to both <format>
and <internalFormat> of glTexImage() APIs. On desktop the go-to way to
create a sRGB texture is by passing GL_SRGB to <internalFormat> and
GL_RGB to <format>, but here GL_RGB was passed to both and thus the
information about sRGB was lost.
With the new PixelFormat::SRGB and PixelFormat::SRGBAlpha enums that
are present only on ES2/WebGL1 this case is fixed -- sRGB texture format
will get translated to sRGB pixel format and that used for both
<format> and <internalFormat>.
Another case is when EXT_texture_storage is available -- passing unsized
GL_SRGB_EXT or GL_SRGB_ALPHA_EXT to glTexStorageEXT() is an error and
there's apparently no mention of this in any extension, making it
impossible to create sRGB textures using EXT_texture_storage. I bit the
bullet and tried passing the (numerical value of) GL_SRGB8 and
GL_SRGB8_ALPHA8 to it. At least on my NV it worked, so I enabled these
two in TextureFormat for ES2. No EXT_texture_storage is on WebGL1, so
they are only on ES2.
These two sized TextureFormat::SRGB8 and TextureFormat::SRGB8Alpha8
formats are translated to GL_SRGB and GL_SRGB_ALPHA and so using them
unconditionally for all platforms (except WebGL1) "just works".
Yeah, sorry, I know, the enums are renamed for second or third time in a
row, first they were Image::Format, then ImageFormat, then ColorFormat
and now PixelFormat. But this time it's final and last time they are
renamed and now everything is finally consistent:
* ColorFormat::DepthComponent -- depth is not a color, thus
PixelFormat::DepthComponent makes a lot more sense.
* There will be PixelStorage classes, which will be stored in images
alonside PixelFormat/PixelType enums, making everything nicely
aligned.
* The GL documentation about glTexImage2D() etc. denotes the <format>
and <type> parameters as format and type of *pixel* data, so now we
are _finally_ consistent with the official naming.
I wonder why did I not choose PixelFormat originally. Anyway, the old
<Magnum/ColorFormat.h> header, ColorFormat, ColorType and
CompressedColorFormat types are now aliases to the new ones, are marked
as deprecated and will be removed in some future release (as always, I'm
waiting at least six months before removing the deprecated
functionality).
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.
Until recently (or maybe not too recently) ES3 extension header was
"currently empty", now the extension header is shared with ES2. It's
nice to finally get rid of all the weird ifndefs.
It is deprecated, but many ES2 implementations don't support
EXT_texture_rg, thus this is the only way to have single- and
two-component textures without wasting precious memory. The enum value
isn't exposed on desktop OpenGL and ES3. GL_ALPHA is not supported, as
it doesn't bring any new functionality (it is also single-component
and thus can be interchanged with GL_LUMINANCE).
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.
