This wasn't too much of a concern since we normally don't care about this feature set, but it is nice when testing on new devices and they don't
support the higher feature sets but want to run under software renderer.
The Mesa softpipe and PowerVR 5xx drivers don't support higher GL versions, but they shouldn't exit out just because they couldn't get a GL3 function
pointer that isn't even going to be used at that point.
This is pretty much a step backwards in our code. We used to use attributes in our PP shader system a long time ago but we changed it to attributeless
for code simplicity and cleanliness. This reimplements the attribute code path as an optional path to take in the case your system doesn't work with
attributeless rendering. In this case the only shipping drivers that we can know for sure supports attributeless rendering is the Nexus 5's v95 driver
that is included in the Android 5.0 image.
I hadn't planned on implementing a work around to get post processing working in these cases, but due to us force enabling the PP shader system at all
times it sort of went up on the priority list. We can't be having a supported platform black screening at all times can we?
Due to changes in how we render to the final framebuffer we no longer encounter this bug.
With the change to post processing being enabled at all times and no longer using glBlitFramebuffer, Qualcomm no longer has the chance to rotate our
framebuffer underneath of us.
This is good hygiene, and also happens to be required to build Dolphin
using Clang modules.
(Under this setup, each header file becomes a module, and each #include
is automatically translated to a module import. Recursive includes
still leak through (by default), but modules are compiled independently,
and can't depend on defines or types having previously been set up. The
main reason to retrofit it onto Dolphin is compilation performance - no
more textual includes whatsoever, rather than putting a few blessed
common headers into a PCH. Unfortunately, I found multiple Clang bugs
while trying to build Dolphin this way, so it's not ready yet, but I can
start with this prerequisite.)
This noticeably includes GL_ARB_get_program_binary, which was previously
thought unsupported on OS X. Well, actually, the OS X implementation is
trivial and reports 0 binary formats (as of 10.10; this is hardcoded in
GLEngine, by the way), but at least it'll work if it's fixed someday.
The D3D / OGL backends only ever used RGBA textures, and the Software
backend uses its own custom code for sampling. The ARGB path seems to
just be dead code.
Since ARGB and RGBA formats are similar, I don't think this will make
the code more difficult to read or unable to be used as
reference. Somebody who wants to use this code to output ARGB can simply
modify the MakeRGBA function to put the shift at the other end.
This causes glDrawArrays to fail in core profile, and thus on OS X, see:
http://renderingpipeline.com/2012/03/attribute-less-rendering/
There must be something bound, even though it is not used.
Fixes#7599. I'm not sure this is actually the best way to fix it,
since AFAICT it makes a nonobvious assumption that *something* will be
bound before the first attributeless rendering in
TextureConverter::DecodeToTexture, but it's what degasus suggested and
seems to work.
We were generating a texture without ever setting the data to a known value.
This happened on the old code as well, just that PP shaders are receiving some love and people are using it and noticing some of its issues.
The only possible functionality change is that s_efbAccessRequested and
s_swapRequested are no longer reset at init and shutdown of the OGL
backend (only; this is the only interaction any files other than
MainBase.cpp have with them). I am fairly certain this was entirely
vestigial.
Possible performance implications: efbAccessReady now uses an Event
rather than spinning, which might be slightly slower, but considering
the slow loop the flags are being checked in from the GPU thread, I
doubt it's noticeable.
Also, this uses sequentially consistent rather than release/acquire
memory order, which might be slightly slower, especially on ARM...
something to improve in Event/Flag, really.
This is effectively unused, as the window handles that we pass to the
GLInterface are window handles for the frame which isn't ever a real
toplevel window. Host_UpdateTitle is what actually sets the proper title
on the render window.
Now that MainNoGUI is properly architected and GLX doesn't need to
sometimes craft its own windows sometimes which we have to thread back
into MainNoGUI, we don't need to thread the window handle that GLX
creates at all.
This removes the reference to pass back here, and the g_pWindowHandle
always be the same as the window returned by Host_GetRenderHandle().
A future cleanup could remove g_pWindowHandle entirely.
Seems mesa has a quirk where
define THING(x) (#x)
is the same as
define THING(x) (##x)
Didn't realize I messed it up since it just worked since I only tested on Mesa.
This class loads all the common PP shader configuration options and passes those options through to a inherited class that OpenGL or D3D will have.
Makes it so all the common code for PP shaders is in VideoCommon instead of duplicating the code across each backend.
It was only used for Windows XP and lower.
This also bumps the _WIN32_WINNT define in the stdafx precompiled headers to set the minimum version as Windows Vista.
The hack was needed because the Nvidia 3D Vision heuristics are documented to only support surfaces that are the same size as the backbuffer. This would be the case if you enabled the hack and selected the "Auto (Window Size)" internal resolution.
However, on recent drivers the same effect is achieved by selecting the "Auto (Multiple)" internal resolution. Therefore the hack is no longer required.
In the cases where we support the binding layout keyword, use it for more than binding UBO location.
This changes it so it is supported for samplers as well.
Instances when this is enabled is if a device supports GL_ARB_shading_language_420pack, or if it supports GLES 3.10.
s_encodingPrograms is defined as an array with a length of 64
NUM_ENCODING_PROGRAMS is also defined as 64.
However 64 is out of bounds, so we want to be comparing for "equal to or
greater than here"
- Isolate it into it's own namespace
- Shorten function names, the namespace self-documents.
- Just use the std I/O, we can just write directly to the stream for
logging.
gcc doesn't optimize this loops with -O2, so using memset now.
A flag to skip the clear funktion was added as the cache is already cleared most of the time.
We need to pull in function pointers for OpenGL 3.0 in order to use glAttribIPointer.
This isn't too big of an issue, and this code will be gone in the future when we change over to libepoxy.
Just need to push code upstream to libepoxy to support Android with GLES and GL first.
This matches how ARM handles their naming in their drivers for different models.
Really it's that way because both Mali-T6xx and Mali-T7xx fall under Midgard.
While everything else (except Mali-55) fall under Utgard.
They are similar enough that they will share bugs with their drivers, so make them fall under the same Mali-Txxx umbrella of bug issues.
If there is ever a need in the future for having separate bugs depending on family, we can support that then.
This is the only way we can determine the video driver version with mali.
Really it's a good thing that they only push driver updates once every two years, makes it easy to determine what driver anybody is running.
GLSL ES 3.10 adds implicit support for the binding layout qualifier that we use.
Changes our GLSL version enums to bit values so we can check for both ES versions easily.
The variable is already dereferenced both before and after this
check which means that if this variable would ever be zero it would
have crashed dolphin already.
- remove unused variables
- reduce the scope where it makes sense
- correct limits (did you know that strcat()'s last parameter does not
include the \0 that is always added?)
- set some free()'d pointers to NULL
If there is an issue with a reported extension, disable it instead of failing out entirely.
Fixes an issue with buffer_storage that I had overlooked as well.
This changes from using logical and to bitwise and, which causes the compile time to drop from an absurd amount of time to around five seconds on my
crappy laptop.
This option was known to break every second game and only boost a bit.
It also seems to be broken because of streaming into pinned memory and buffer storage buffers.
v2: also remove dlc_desc
Older Qualcomm drivers rotated the framebuffer 90 degrees and this fix didn't work.
Now for some obscene reason it rotates a full 180 degrees.
This can at least be worked around by flipping around the image on our end.
On Windows, nvidia don't give us their driver version, so we can't workaround any issues.
As buffer_storage is broken on some drivers, we wanted to disble it for them.
So we can't.
Luckyly only "some" released driver versions are affected as this extension is only available since some months. Let's hope that nobody have to use one of this driver version, else they will get a black screen ...
OSX has their own driver, so performance issues aren't shared with the nvidia driver (unlike the closed source linux and windows nvidia driver). So now they'll also use the MapAndSync backend like all other osx drivers.
fixes issue 6596
I've also cleaned up the if/else block selecting the best backend a bit.
The only two devices that do this are Mesa software rasterizer and Intel Ironlake(With a few hacks).
Basically since it doesn't support OpenGL 3.0, it can't grab the version the new way.
So failing that, it sets to GL 2.1, and continues.
Further along, on Ironlake at least, it tries grabbing the extensions the new GL 3.0 way and fails.
So have a fallback that grabs the extensions string the old way, in probably the most elegant way possible.
The old way was to use big switch/case statements based on a type of buffer.
The new one is to use inheritance.
This change prohibits us to change the buffer type while running, but I doubt we'll ever do so.
Performance should also be a bit better. Also a nice cleanup.
Added some comments about this different kind of buffers.
This is a bit slower on map_and_* because of flushing and _very_ much slower on buffer(sub)?data because of a new memcpy.
But this design allow us to decode directly into a gpu buffer, eg vertexloader will profit :)
gl.h and glext.h provide most of the function pointer typedefs and defines for extensions and core features.
The only one it doesn't provide is GL 1.1 function typedefs, but this is to be expected.
If anything needs defines or typedefs in their header in the future, that's as easy as before.
This one was introduced to reduce the glBindTexture and glActiveTexture calls. But it was quite a bit of logic and only an improvment on uploading/creating a texture, which is done rarely.
This branch is the final step of fully supporting both OpenGL and OpenGL ES in the same binary.
This of course only applies to EGL and won't work for GLX/AGL/WGL since they don't really support GL ES.
The changes here actually aren't too terrible, basically change every #ifdef USE_GLES to a runtime check.
This adds a DetectMode() function to the EGL context backend.
EGL will iterate through each of the configs and check for GL, GLES3_KHR, and GLES2 bits
After that it'll change the mode from _DETECT to whichever one is the best supported.
After that point we'll just create a context with the mode that was detected
We are used to render them out of order as long as everything else matches, but rendering order does matter, so we have to flush on primitive switch. This commit implements this flush.
Also as we flush on primitive switch, we don't have to create three different index buffers. All indices are now stored in one buffer.
This will slow down games which switch often primitive types (eg ztp), but it should be more accurate.
add the GL include (back) to Base.props
use a similar technique to GLX.cpp (by Sonic) in WGL.cpp to get
wglSwapIntervalEXT without the WGLEW check

This "u32 components" is a list of flags which attributes of the vertex loader are present.
We are used to append this variable to lots of vertex generation functions, but some of them don't need it at all.
The usual way to handle this kind of request is to rise a flag which the gpu thread polls.
The gpu thread itself either generates the result or just write zeros if disabled.
After this, it rise another flag which says that this work is done.
So if disabled, we still have the cpu-gpu round trip time. This commit just returns 0 on the cpu thread
instead of playing ping pong...
fixes issue 6898
OpenGL defaults are GL_REPEAT, which is even more unlikely than GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE.
As I can't test the behavoir of the real hardware, I changed it to how it works before,
but I guess just clip the texture makes more sense.
