Conditional Rendering takes care of conditionaly clearing or drawing
depending on a set of queries. This PR implements the query checks to
stablish if things can be rendered or not.
These are std::shared_ptr instances underneath the hood, which means
copying them isn't as cheap as a regular pointer. Particularly so on
weakly-ordered systems.
This avoids atomic reference count increments and decrements where they
aren't necessary for the core set of operations.
While changing this code, simplify tracking code to allow returning
the base address node, this way callers don't have to manually rebuild
it on each invocation.
must_reconfigure isn't a parameter for this function any more, so it can
be replaced with current_state.
While we're at it, we can make the parameters of the declaration match
the same name as the ones in the definition.
This sets the DeviceMapped attribute for GPU-mapped memory blocks,
and prevents merging device mapped blocks. This prevents memory
mapped from the gpu from having its backing address changed by
block coalesce.
This commit implements gl_ViewportIndex and gl_Layer in vertex and
geometry shaders. In the case it's used in a vertex shader, it requires
ARB_shader_viewport_layer_array. This extension is available on AMD and
Nvidia devices (mesa and proprietary drivers), but not available on
Intel on any platform. At the moment of writing this description I don't
know if this is a hardware limitation or a driver limitation.
In the case that ARB_shader_viewport_layer_array is not available,
writes to these registers on a vertex shader are ignored, with the
appropriate logging.
Instead of passing by copy an execution context through out the whole
Vulkan call hierarchy, use a command buffer view and fence view
approach.
This internally dereferences the command buffer or fence forcing the
user to be unable to use an outdated version of it on normal usage.
It is still possible to keep store an outdated if it is casted to
VKFence& or vk::CommandBuffer.
While changing this file, add an extra parameter for Flush and Finish to
allow releasing the fence from this calls.
