Fences take ownership of objects, protecting them from GPU-side or
driver-side concurrent access. They must be commited from the resource
manager. Their usage flow is: commit the fence from the resource
manager, protect resources with it and use them, send the fence to an
execution queue and Wait for it if needed and then call Release. Used
resources will automatically be signaled when they are free to be
reused.
Makes it consistent with the regular standard containers in terms of
size representation. This also gets rid of dependence on our own
type aliases, removing the need for an include.
The necessity of this parameter is dubious at best, and in 2019 probably
offers completely negligible savings as opposed to just leaving this
enabled. This removes it and simplifies the overall interface.
VKDevice contains all the data required to manage and initialize a
physical device. Its intention is to be passed across Vulkan objects to
query device-specific data (for example the logical device and the
dispatch loader).
We already store a reference to the system instance that the renderer is
created with, so we don't need to refer to the system instance via
Core::System::GetInstance()
This file is intended to be included instead of vulkan/vulkan.hpp. It
includes declarations of unique handlers using a dynamic dispatcher
instead of a static one (which would require linking to a Vulkan
library).
Places all of the timing-related functionality under the existing Core
namespace to keep things consistent, rather than having the timing
utilities sitting in its own completely separate namespace.
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.
This was originally included because texture operations returned a vec4.
These operations now return a single float and the F4 prefix doesn't
mean anything.
Previous code relied on GLSL parameter order (something that's always
ill-formed on an IR design). This approach passes spatial coordiantes
through operation nodes and array and depth compare values in the the
texture metadata. It still contains an "extra" vector containing generic
nodes for bias and component index (for example) which is still a bit
ill-formed but it should be better than the previous approach.
