This removes the following for both Buffer and Texture:
- The builder's SetInitialUsage
- The object's FreezeUsage and TransitionUsage methods
- The CommandBuffer Transition<Object>Usage methods
All samples and tests are simplified as a result. This also obsoletes
the UsageValidationTest which is removed.
Some validation was dependent on "current usage" and hasn't been
reintroduced for implicit transitions yet:
- Buffers can be used while mapped
- Swapchain textures can be used after they have been presented.
Validation for these will involve collecting all the resources used by a
command buffer and will be done in a follow-up patch.
With this commit the Vulkan backend completely ignores the explicit
barrier commands passed from the frontend, and generates its own
pipeline barriers.
Right now it encodes each barrier just before the resources are used,
which is quite bad but will be optimized later.
This commit also makes the frontend command buffer validation perform
the checks necessary for implicit barriers (although they are redundant
with checks for explicit barriers) because the tracking can pre-compute
pass usage information that's useful for the Vulkan backend.
Tests for usage validation inside passes will be added once the concept
of transition is removed from the API.
* Use a descriptor for BindGroupLayout
* Fix MatchesLambda
* Add WireTests.StructureOfStructureArrayArgument
* Add BindGroupValidationTests.BindGroupLayoutCache
We are changing all object creation to use descriptors but there is no
creation argument to pass for queue, so instead Device::CreateQueue
takes no argument.
This as an API change to get closer to the direction in which WebGPU is
headed. The API change in next.json caused a ton of files to be changed
in the same commit to keep things compiling.
API: the Framebuffer and RenderPass objects are now merged in a single
RenderPassInfo that contains the attachments, loadOps and clear values
for a BeginRenderPass command. The concept of subpass is removed.
The RenderPass creation argument to RenderPipelines is replaced by
explicitly setting the format of attachments for RenderPipeline.
Validation: SetPipeline checks are changed to check that the attachments
info set on a RenderPipeline matches the attachments of the render pass.
Backends: Most changes are simplifications of the backends that no
longer require and indirection to query the current subpass out of the
render pass in BeginSubpass, and don't need to get the attachment info
from a RenderPass when creating RenderPipelines. In the Vulkan backend,
a VkRenderPass cache is added to reuse VkRenderPasses between
RenderPassInfos and RenderPipelines.
Tests and examples: they are updated with the simplified API. Tests
specific to the Framebuffer and RenderPass objects were removed and
validation tests for RenderPassInfo were added.
Tested by running CppHelloTriangle on all backends, end2end tests on all
platforms and all examples on the GL backend.
Adds the swap chain interfaces to the API without changing the behavior
of anything else. This includes the C APIs for applications to provide
swap chain implementations. Also adds stub implementations on every
backend.
This directory used to contain both the state tracking code for the
backends, and the common utilities that could be used both by the
backends and the rest of the code. Things are now:
- src/common is utility code for the whole repo
- src/backend contains libNXT's code
- src/utils is utility code that we don't want in libNXT
This commit also changes all includes to use global paths from src/
bacause it had to touch a bunch of #include statements anyway.
We want to test BufferMapRead validation using the null backend. To get
closer to conditions on a real backend, we call the callback only on the
next Queue::Submit. This is because on real backends, we would have to
wait for the GPU to be finished with the buffer, to be sure the correct
data is read.
Add depth and stencil tests. This is currently only implemented for the
OpenGL API. HelloDepthStencil is a test using the depth and stencil
buffers to do reflections. Currently clearing / stencil clearing is not
working properly.
