It supports KHR_parallel_shader_compile as well as a
thread pool of GL contexts.
- we have a new 2-priorities queue for shader compilation
- use this feature in gltfio in the ubershader case
Some shaders can be shared across all materials (e.g. the depth
shaders). We use the filament default material as the "source" of
the cache, but until now we relied on an a priori knowledge of which
variants were present in the default material.
With this change, we now query once the list of variants (of interest)
in the default material and reuse that list for caching these variants
later.
This is better because the cached variants are now entirely driven by
the default material (which they depend on anyways). This is also faster
because we don't need to query which variant we need each time we create
a material.
This happened because the code iterated over the keys of a hashmap,
which obviously were not guaranteed to be in the same order as those
entries where added to the hashmap.
We fix this by adding a "visitor" to the materialchunk, so we can
iterate through it in order and retried the info we need.
* minimal backend support for compute
- added api to dispatch a compute shader
- added api to create and bind a ssbo
- added api to read back a buffer
Only implemented in the gl backend
* Add a backend compute test suite
* basic support for compute shaders in matc
this is still very much work-in-progress.
We're not supporting images nor ssbo for now.
* rename UniformInterfaceBlock to BufferInterfaceBlock
* augment BufferInterfaceBlock to support ssbo features
- add support for std430
- add support for ssbo
- add support for variable-size array
- add support for memory qualifiers
* reformat MaterialBuilder
* material format: move subpasses outside of parameters
subpasses now are their own json property instead of being a
"parameter".
* refactor parameter() methods to match Buffer/SamplerInterfaceBlock
We're just shuffling the arguments.
* add support for buffers in .mat files
* filamat now generates buffer blocks (ssbo)
* take feature level into consideration when optimizing shaders
* don't store the 'uniform binding' chunk for level 2 materials
this includes some refactoring/cleanups of MaterialParser
* matinfo: fixes for compute
- separate subpasses from parameters
- don't attempt to print material properties
MaterialInstance: generate versions of setParameter() methods that
are templated on the parameter sizeof(), which allows us to
coalesce implementations, e.g. vec4<float> and vec4<int> are now
the same. We make the compiler generate non-inline version of all
these methods, the typed version just call through, taking
advantage of the tail-call optimization in clang.
MaterialParser: improve code to avoid calling multiple methods that
all did more or less the same thing and were inlined.
PostProcessManager: use a loop to initialize the materials
ToneMapping: de-dup ACES implementation
And other more minor optimizations.
Fix alignment issues with setting booleans in UBOs
Program::shader() was taking a string before which didn't make sense
for spirv. Now it's just a blob, in the case of GL/Metal, the blob
must be a null terminated c-string, and the size must include the
terminating null character.
This fixes an out-of-bound access in ShaderBuilder::getShader() (which
doesn't exist anymore), because it was creating a CString passing
a size that included the null terminating char, which is not was CString
expects. CString can now assert() in that case.
driver::Program now uses a std::vector<> for storage, which we should
fix at some point (b/c it's a public header). CString was not suited to
store binary blobs.
filaflat only had on header dependency on filabridge (DriverEnums.h)
and only needed two small enum types.
In fact, I don't think it was right for filaflat to assume any
particular value for these fields -- this is the responsibility of the
callers.
We now expose things like
BlobDictionary: dictionary content
MaterialChunk: construct a material from the BlobDictionary
SpirvDictionaryReader: reads a spirv dictionary
TextDictionaryReader: reads an ascii dictionary
All these classes are generic enough and don't have any outside
dependencies.
The only remaining class which has outside dependencies is
MaterialParser, which will be eliminated soon.
