Some lines of code in Dolphin just plainly grabbed the value of
g_ActiveConfig.iEFBScale, which resulted in Auto being treated as
0x rather than the actual automatically selected scale.
There was a race condition between the video thread and the host thread,
if corrections need to be made by VerifyValidity(). Briefly, the config
will contain invalid values. Instead, pause emulation first, which will
flush the video thread, update the config and correct it, then resume
emulation, after which the video thread will detect the config has
changed and act accordingly.
Calling vkCmdClearAttachments with a partial rect, or specifying a
render area in a render pass with the load op set to clear can cause the
GPU to lock up, or raise a bounds violation. This only occurs on MSAA
framebuffers, and it seems when there are multiple clears in a single
command buffer. Worked around by back to the slow path (drawing quads)
when MSAA is enabled.
Currently, this is only the logic op bit, but this will be extended to
the framebuffer fetch/blend modes. In the future, when/if we move to
VideoCommon pipelines, this state will be part of the pipeline UID
anyway, and we can mask it out in the backend by using a two-level map,
so the shaders/programs are shared.
This optimisation doesn't work on PowerVR's Vulkan implementation. We
(incorrectly) disallow Framebuffer objects to be used with a different
load or store op than that which they were created with, despite the
spec allowing such.
This fixes the windwaker intro "smearing"
Modernizes the arrays and makes future simplifications possible (e.g. usages within the software renderer).
It also makes cases where we use array->pointer decay explicit.
The class NonCopyable is, like the name says, supposed to disallow
copying. But should it allow moving?
For a long time, NonCopyable used to not allow moving. (It declared
a deleted copy constructor and assigment operator without declaring
a move constructor and assignment operator, making the compiler
implicitly delete the move constructor and assignment operator.)
That's fine if the classes that inherit from NonCopyable don't need
to be movable or if writing the move constructor and assignment
operator by hand is fine, but that's not the case for all classes,
as I discovered when I was working on the DirectoryBlob PR.
Because of that, I decided to make NonCopyable movable in c7602cc,
allowing me to use NonCopyable in DirectoryBlob.h. That was however
an unfortunate decision, because some of the classes that inherit
from NonCopyable have incorrect behavior when moved by default-
generated move constructors and assignment operators, and do not
explicitly delete the move constructors and assignment operators,
relying on NonCopyable being non-movable.
So what can we do about this? There are four solutions that I can
think of:
1. Make NonCopyable non-movable and tell DirectoryBlob to suck it.
2. Keep allowing moving NonCopyable, and expect that classes that
don't support moving will delete the move constructor and
assignment operator manually. Not only is this inconsistent
(having classes disallow copying one way and disallow moving
another way), but deleting the move constructor and assignment
operator manually is too easy to forget compared to how tricky
the resulting problems are.
3. Have one "MovableNonCopyable" and one "NonMovableNonCopyable".
It works, but it feels rather silly...
4. Don't have a NonCopyable class at all. Considering that deleting
the copy constructor and assignment operator only takes two lines
of code, I don't see much of a reason to keep NonCopyable. I
suppose that there was more of a point in having NonCopyable back
in the pre-C++11 days, when it wasn't possible to use "= delete".
I decided to go with the fourth one (like the commit title says).
The implementation of the commit is fairly straight-forward, though
I would like to point out that I skipped adding "= delete" lines
for classes whose only reason for being uncopyable is that they
contain uncopyable classes like File::IOFile and std::unique_ptr,
because the compiler makes such classes uncopyable automatically.
The switch statements in these functions appear to get transformed into
an if..else chain on NVIDIA's OpenGL/Vulkan drivers, resulting in lower
performance than the D3D counterparts. Transforming the switch into a
binary tree of ifs can increase performance by up to 20%.
Settings that come from the SYSCONF are now included in Dolphin's
config system as part of the base layer. They are handled in a
special way compared to other settings to make sure they are only
loaded from and saved to the SYSCONF (to avoid different, possibly
contradicting sources of truth).
This is supposed to get efb2tex to the same texture as efb2ram, by applying the related efb copies as updates after each other, in the order of their creation.
Improve bookkeeping around formats. Hopefully make code less confusing.
- Rename TlutFormat -> TLUTFormat to follow conventions.
- Use enum classes to prevent using a Texture format where an EFB Copy format
is expected or vice-versa.
- Use common EFBCopyFormat names regardless of depth and YUV configurations.
This was mainly included for debugging, but could end up being confusing
for users, as well as polluting the GL program cache with a mix of uber
and specialized shaders if the option was changed.
These vertex formats enable all attributes. Inactive attributes are set
to offset=0, and the smallest type possible. This "optimization" stops
the NV compiler from generating variants of vertex shaders.
This is a remake of https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/3749
Full credit goes to phire.
Old message:
"If none of the texture registers have changed and TMEM hasn't been invalidated or changed in other ways, we can blindly reuse the old texture cache entries without rehashing.
Not only does this fix the bloom effect in Spyro: A Hero's Tail (The game abused texture cache) but it will also provide speedups for other games which use the same texture over multiple draw calls, especially when safe texture cache is in use."
Changed the pr per phire's instructions to only return the current texture(s) if none of the texture registers were changed. If any texture register was changed, fall back to the default hashing and rebuilding textures from memory.
Some code was calling more than one of these functions in a row
(in particular, FileUtil.cpp itself did it a lot...), which is
a waste since it's possible to call stat a single time and then
read all three values from the stat struct. This commit adds a
File::FileInfo class that calls stat once on construction and
then lets Exists/IsDirectory/GetSize be executed very quickly.
The performance improvement mostly matters for functions that
can be handling a lot of files, such as File::ScanDirectoryTree.
I've also done some cleanup in code that uses these functions.
For instance, some code had checks like !Exists() || !IsDirectory(),
which is functionally equivalent to !IsDirectory(), and some
code was using File::GetSize even though there was an IOFile
object that the code could call GetSize on.
This fixes the global-static fifo object causing infinite hangs in some
cases. Notably, failure to initialize a graphics backend would result in
BlockingLoop::Prepare being called but never executing Run(), leaving the
object in a bad state.
