Allows some implementations to avoid completely zeroing out the internal
buffer of the optional, and instead only set the validity byte within
the structure.
This also makes it consistent how we return empty optionals.
Games using D3D idioms can join images and samplers when a shader
executes, instead of baking them into a combined sampler image. This is
also possible on Vulkan.
One approach to this solution would be to use separate samplers on
Vulkan and leave this unimplemented on OpenGL, but we can't do this
because there's no consistent way of determining which constant buffer
holds a sampler and which one an image. We could in theory find the
first bit and if it's in the TIC area, it's an image; but this falls
apart when an image or sampler handle use an index of zero.
The used approach is to track for a LOP.OR operation (this is done at an
IR level, not at an ISA level), track again the constant buffers used as
source and store this pair. Then, outside of shader execution, join
the sample and image pair with a bitwise or operation.
This approach won't work on games that truly use separate samplers in a
meaningful way. For example, pooling textures in a 2D array and
determining at runtime what sampler to use.
This invalidates OpenGL's disk shader cache :)
- Used mostly by D3D ports to Switch
Drop MemoryBarrier from the buffer cache and use Maxwell3D's register
WaitForIdle.
To implement this on OpenGL we just call glMemoryBarrier with the
necessary bits.
Vulkan lacks this synchronization primitive, so we set an event and
immediately wait for it. This is not a pretty solution, but it's what
Vulkan can do without submitting the current command buffer to the queue
(which ends up being more expensive on the CPU).
Instead of waiting immediately for executed commands, defer the query
until the guest CPU reads it. This way we get closer to what the guest
program is doing.
To archive this we have to build a dependency queue, because host APIs
(like OpenGL and Vulkan) use ranged queries instead of counters like
NVN.
Waiting for queries implicitly uses fences and this requires a command
being queued, otherwise the driver will lock waiting until a timeout. To
fix this when there are no commands queued, we explicitly call glFlush.
Front face was being forced to a certain value when cull face is
disabled. Set a default value on initialization and drop the forcefully
set front facing value with culling disabled.
