Use ThreadWorkPool to process physics step tasks in multiple threads. Collisions are all processed in parallel and solving impulses is
processed in parallel for rigid body islands.
Additional changes:
- Proper islands for soft bodies linked to active bodies
- All moving areas are on separate islands (can be parallelized)
- Fix inconsistencies with body islands (Kinematic bodies could link
bodies together or not depending on the processing order)
- Completely prevent static bodies to be active (it could cause islands
to be wrongly created and cause dangerous multi-threading operations as
well as inconsistencies in created islands)
- Apply impulses only on dynamic bodies to avoid unsafe multi-threaded
operations (static bodies can be on multiple islands)
- Removed inverted iterations when populating body islands, it's now
faster in regular order (maybe after fixing inconsistencies)
Several optimizations in the way solver islands are processed in both
2D and 3D physics:
- Use LocalVector instead of linked list to avoid cache misses (with
persistent storage based on worst case scenario)
- Remove pairs when setup fails (no valid contact) to avoid unnecessary
solving of non-colliding rigid bodies just to return immediately
- Fixed SoftBody surface update with new rendering system
- Added GodotPhysics implementation for SoftBody
- Added support to get SoftBody rid to interact with the physics server
- Added support to get SoftBody bounds from the physics server
- Removed support for unused get_vertex_position and get_point_offset
from the physics server
- Removed SoftBody properties that are unused in both Bullet and
GodotPhysics (angular and volume stiffness, pose matching)
- Added RenderingServerHandler interface to PhysicsServer3D so the physics servers don't need to reference the class from SoftBody node directly
In 3D, collision is disabled between kinematic/static bodies when
contacts are generated only to report them.
In 2D, this case was already fixed but the code is cleaned to make it
easier to follow.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
Which means that reduz' beloved style which we all became used to
will now be changed automatically to remove the first empty line.
This makes us lean closer to 1TBS (the one true brace style) instead
of hybridating it with some Allman-inspired spacing.
There's still the case of braces around single-statement blocks that
needs to be addressed (but clang-format can't help with that, but
clang-tidy may if we agree about it).
Part of #33027.
