Games using D3D idioms can join images and samplers when a shader
executes, instead of baking them into a combined sampler image. This is
also possible on Vulkan.
One approach to this solution would be to use separate samplers on
Vulkan and leave this unimplemented on OpenGL, but we can't do this
because there's no consistent way of determining which constant buffer
holds a sampler and which one an image. We could in theory find the
first bit and if it's in the TIC area, it's an image; but this falls
apart when an image or sampler handle use an index of zero.
The used approach is to track for a LOP.OR operation (this is done at an
IR level, not at an ISA level), track again the constant buffers used as
source and store this pair. Then, outside of shader execution, join
the sample and image pair with a bitwise or operation.
This approach won't work on games that truly use separate samplers in a
meaningful way. For example, pooling textures in a 2D array and
determining at runtime what sampler to use.
This invalidates OpenGL's disk shader cache :)
- Used mostly by D3D ports to Switch
Drop the usage of ARB_compute_variable_group_size and specialize compute
shaders instead. This permits compute to run on AMD and Intel
proprietary drivers.
Replaces header inclusions with forward declarations where applicable
and also removes unused headers within the cpp file. This reduces a few
more dependencies on core/memory.h
Removes a few unnecessary dependencies on core-related machinery, such
as the core.h and memory.h, which reduces the amount of rebuilding
necessary if those files change.
This also uncovered some indirect dependencies within other source
files. This also fixes those.
When I originally added the compute assert I used the wrong
documentation. This addresses that.
The dispatch register was tested with homebrew against hardware and is
triggered by some games (e.g. Super Mario Odyssey). What exactly is
missing to get a valid program bound by this engine requires more
investigation.
Add asserts for compute shader dispatching, transform feedback being
enabled and alpha testing. These have in common that they'll probably break
rendering without logging.
