Size and format information are the same for every implementation and do
not need to be virtual. This removes the need to reimplement them for
each driver.
Otherwise, we end up propagating those dependencies into targets that
link against that library, which creates unnecessary link-time
dependencies.
Also included are changes to readd now missing dependencies to tools
that actually need them.
A GPU (driver) is now responsible for reading and writing pixels from
and to user data. The client (LibGL) is responsible for specifying how
the user data must be interpreted or written to.
This allows us to centralize all pixel format conversion in one class,
`LibSoftGPU::PixelConverter`. For both the input and output image, it
takes a specification containing the image dimensions, the pixel type
and the selection (basically a clipping rect), and converts the pixels
from the input image to the output image.
Effectively this means we now support almost all OpenGL 1.5 formats,
and all custom logic has disappeared from:
- `glDrawPixels`
- `glReadPixels`
- `glTexImage2D`
- `glTexSubImage2D`
The new logic is still unoptimized, but on my machine I experienced no
noticeable slowdown. :^)
Between the OpenGL client and server, a lot of data type and color
conversion needs to happen. We are performing these conversions both in
`LibSoftGPU` and `LibGL`, which is not ideal. Additionally, some
concepts like the color, depth and stencil buffers should share their
logic but have separate implementations.
This is the first step towards generalizing our `LibSoftGPU` frame
buffer: a generalized `Typed3DBuffer` is introduced for arbitrary 3D
value storage and retrieval, and `Typed2DBuffer` wraps around it to
provide in an easy-to-use 2D pixel buffer. The color, depth and stencil
buffers are replaced by `Typed2DBuffer` and are now managed by the new
`FrameBuffer` class.
The `Image` class now uses multiple `Typed3DBuffer`s for layers and
mipmap levels. Additionally, the textures are now always stored as
BGRA8888, only converting between formats when reading or writing
pixels.
Ideally this refactor should have no functional changes, but some
graphical glitches in Grim Fandango seem to be fixed and most OpenGL
ports get an FPS boost on my machine. :^)
This implements an 8-bit front stencil buffer. Stencil operations are
SIMD optimized. LibGL changes include:
* New `glStencilMask` and `glStencilMaskSeparate` functions
* New context parameter `GL_STENCIL_CLEAR_VALUE`
This serves as the storage for all image types. 1D, 2D, 3D, Cube and
image arrays.
Upon construction a full mipmap chain is generated and the image is
immutable afterwards with respect to its layout.
This introduces a new library, LibSoftGPU, that incorporates all
rendering related features that formerly resided within LibGL itself.
Going forward we will make both libraries completely independent from
each other allowing LibGL to load different, possibly accelerated,
rendering backends.
