Like with CPU emulation, we generally don't want to fire off the threads
immediately after the relevant classes are initialized, we want to do
this after all necessary data is done loading first.
This splits the thread creation into its own interface member function
to allow controlling when these threads in particular get created.
Allows capturing screenshot at the current internal resolution (native for software renderer), but a setting is available to capture it in other resolutions. The screenshot is saved to a single PNG in the current layout.
Namespaces all OpenGL code under the OpenGL namespace.
Prevents polluting the global namespace and allows clear distinction
between other renderers' code in the future.
Instead, we make a struct for renderer settings and allow the renderer
to update all of these settings, getting rid of the need for
global-scoped variables.
This also uncovered a few indirect inclusions for certain headers, which
this commit also fixes.
We move the initialization of the renderer to the core class, while
keeping the creation of it and any other specifics in video_core. This
way we can ensure that the renderer is initialized and doesn't give
unfettered access to the renderer. This also makes dependencies on types
more explicit.
For example, the GPU class doesn't need to depend on the
existence of a renderer, it only needs to care about whether or not it
has a rasterizer, but since it was accessing the global variable, it was
also making the renderer a part of its dependency chain. By adjusting
the interface, we can get rid of this dependency.
Makes the global a member of the RendererBase class. We also change this
to be a reference. Passing any form of null pointer to these functions
is incorrect entirely, especially given the code itself assumes that the
pointer would always be in a valid state.
This also makes it easier to follow the lifecycle of instances being
used, as we explicitly interact the renderer with the rasterizer, rather
than it just operating on a global pointer.
Involves making asserts use printf instead of the log functions (log functions are asynchronous and, as such, the log won't be printed in time)
As such, the log type argument was removed (printf obviously can't use it, and it's made obsolete by the file and line printing)
Also removed some GEKKO cruft.
This should fix the GL loading errors that occur in some drivers due to
the use of deprecated functions by GLEW. Side benefits are more accurate
auto-completion (deprecated function and symbols don't exist) and faster
pointer loading (less entrypoints to load). In addition it removes an
external library depency, simplifying the build system a bit and
eliminating one set of binary libraries for Windows.
