Prior to this change, it's possible for m_wake_me_up_again to be used
while it's in an uninitialized state from the exposed API.
e.g.
- Using SetEnable after construction would perform an uninitialized read.
- Using PushEvent would perform an uninitialized read by way of operator |=.
internally, an uninitialized read can happen if PullEventsInternal() is
executed before other functions.
Just to avoid the whole possibility of performing uninitialized reads,
we just give the class member a default value of false.
This way, if we load a UID cache where the data was incomplete (e.g.
Dolphin crashed), we don't lose the existing UIDs which were previously
at the beginning.
This will create a merge conflict if two PRs try to increment the
cache version at the same time, which makes it noticeable that the
PR that gets merged last needs to increment the cache version again.
We already use this for savestates and the game list cache.
Minimizes repetition.
std::minmax_element can be used for the 256 * 2 case, as it's only performing byte comparisons
and thus, there will always be an element smaller than 0xffff, so it doesn't need to be included
in the set of compared values.
Skip ubershader mode works the same as hybrid ubershaders in that the
shaders are compiled asynchronously. However, instead of using the
ubershader to draw the object, it skips it entirely until the
specialized shader is made available.
This mode will likely result in broken effects where a game creates an
EFB copy, and does not redraw it every frame. Therefore, it is not a
recommended option, however, it may result in better performance on
low-end systems.
This wouldn't be much of a data reader if it can't access the
read-only data pointer in read-only contexts. Especially if it
can get a writable equivalent in contexts that aren't read-only.
It's questionable to not return a reference to the instance being
assigned to. It's also quite misleading in terms of expected behavior
relative to everything else. This fixes it to make it consistent with
other classes.
Allows the default constructor to be defaulted and ensures the default
values are associated with the member variables directly.
Also corrects a prefixed underscore in the two parameter constructor.
Given that this only contains functions from the VideoBackendBase class,
it makes more sense to move these to the relevant cpp file to keep them
all together.
This is only ever memset to zero and never used again.
This also gets rid of an instance of undefined behavior considering the
draft standard for C++17 (N4659) states at [dcl.type.cv] paragraph 5:
"
The semantics of an access through a volatile glvalue are implementation-defined.
If an attempt is made to access an object defined with a volatile-qualified type
through the use of a non-volatile glvalue, the behavior is undefined.
"
Currently, when immediately compile shaders is not enabled, the
ubershaders will be placed before any specialized shaders in the compile
queue in hybrid ubershaders mode. This means that Dolphin could
potentially use the ubershaders for a longer time than it would have if
we blocked startup until all shaders were compiled, leading to a drop in
performance.
- In D3D, shaders could be compiled on the main thread, blocking
startup.
- Reduced the latency between a pipeline being requested and used in all
backends in hybrid ubershader mode, when no shader stages were present.
- Fixed a case where async compilation could cause the same UID to be
appended multiple times to the UID cache.
- Fix incorrect number of threads being used when immediately compile
shaders was enabled.
Lowest hanging fruit I could find with a profiler.
Not sure this stuff actually needs to be done, but assuming it is, why
not do it quickly? 10x faster, goes from 1% CPU to 0.09%.
This enables shaders to be compiled while the game is starting, instead
of blocking startup. If a shader is needed before it is compiled,
emulation will block.
As these are stored in a map, operator< will become a hot function when
doing lookups, which happen every frame. std::tie generated a rather
large function here with quite a few branches.
