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 the backend ignores explicit usage transition hints from the
frontent and generates all the barriers automatically based on resource
usage.
The current implementation is very naive and encodes a barrier
immediately just before a resource is used in a new state.
This macro has some advantages over the standard library one:
- It prints the place where the macro was triggered
- It "references" the condition even in Release to avoid warnings
- In release, if possible, it gives compiler hints
It is basically is stripped down version of the ASSERT macros I wrote
for the Daemon engine in src/common/Assert.h
This commit also removes the stray "backend" namespaces for common/
code.
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.
Buffers with MapRead allowed are created on the READBACK heap and always
add the D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_COPY_DEST state (required by D3D12).
Likewise MapWrite adds the D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_GENERIC_READ state and
places resources on the UPLOAD heap. Because these states are
required, transitions for mapped buffers do nothing.
