The intention behind a Vulkan wrapper is to drop Vulkan-Hpp.
The issues with Vulkan-Hpp are:
- Regular breaks of the API.
- Copy constructors that do the same as the aggregates (fixed recently)
- External dynamic dispatch that is hard to remove
- Alias KHR handles with non-KHR handles making it impossible to use
smart handles on Vulkan 1.0 instances with extensions that were included
on Vulkan 1.1.
- Dynamic dispatchers silently change size depending on preprocessor
definitions. Different files will have different dispatch definitions,
generating all kinds of hard to debug memory issues.
In other words, Vulkan-Hpp is not "production ready" for our needs and
this wrapper aims to replace it without losing RAII and exception
safety.
This increases the PointerBufferSize as a lager one is required by some services.
This change is still not hw-accurate, but it is proven to work in Ryujinx.
Instead of using a hardcoded size, we should figure out the specific values for each service in the future. Some of them can be taken from Atmosphere: https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/search?q=PointerBufferSize.
Currently, yuzu just freezes when an error occurs while Initializing the WebApplet.
From a user perspective, this obviously isn't great as the game just softlocks.
With this change, yuzu will call the Finalize method, so to the game it seems like as the user just exited the WebApplet normally.
This works around https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/issues/2852.
Implement depth ranges using the transformed viewport instead of the
generic one. This matches the current Vulkan implementation but doesn't
support negative depth ranges. An update to glad is required for this.
This commit disables the Boxcat backend by default for new users of yuzu.
There's several reasons as to why this is done:
1. Boxcat currently only actually has an impact on 3 games and doesn't influence any core mechanics of them
2. It causes a plethora of issues when enabled such as games like Crash Team Racing, Diablo 3 and Tales of Vesperia not booting at all or hanging
3. It causes https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/issues/2957 to happen. This makes the configuration menu totally unusable for many Linux users of yuzu
I think those points show that currently the negative impact of Boxcat outweighs its benefits and should therefore be disabled by default.
For users who are eager to use the extra features provided by it, they can still just turn it on in the settings.
Should fix https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/issues/3487.
error_code::failed is a function which has been introduced in Boost 1.69.
This version of boost hasn't landed in most major distros yet.
