This option embeds a small JSON string inside the resgen blob that lists
all materials and their respective sizes. This is useful when analyzing
the footprint of the binary executable.
(1)
Generating the C file (only used for WebAssembly) causes slowness in the
build so this makes it into an option. Also, we were flushing too often,
which made it even slower.
(2)
Using "static" in a header was causing symbol duplication.
This adds a couple optional features:
1) Preserve file extensions when generating symbols.
This is useful to distinguish foo.vs from foo.fs
2) Append null characters to data blobs.
Useful when treating FOO_DATA as a C string.
This tool can be used to replace inc files for built-in materials. The
inc files are unfriendly to IDE's and do not extend to non-material
resource types such as baked texture data.
The tool aggregates a sequence of binary blobs, each of which becomes a
"resource" whose id is the basename of the input file. It produces the
following set of files:
resources.h ......... declares sizes and offsets for each resource
resources.S ......... small assembly file with incbin directive
resources.apple.S ... ditto but with different rodata name
resources.bin ....... the aggregated binary blob
resources.c ......... large xxd-style array (only for WASM)
We did an experiment to test the incbin directive on a variety of
platforms in PR #510.
