Main:
- It's now implemented thanks to `<mutex>`. No more platform-specific implementations.
- `BinaryMutex` (non-recursive) is added, as an alternative for special cases.
- Doesn't need allocation/deallocation anymore. It can live in the stack and be part of other classes.
- Because of that, it's methods are now `const` and the inner mutex is `mutable` so it can be easily used in `const` contexts.
- A no-op implementation is provided if `NO_THREADS` is defined. No more need to add `#ifdef NO_THREADS` just for this.
- `MutexLock` now takes a reference. At this point the cases of null `Mutex`es are rare. If you ever need that, just don't use `MutexLock`.
- Thread-safe utilities are therefore simpler now.
Misc.:
- `ScopedMutexLock` is dropped and replaced by `MutexLock`, because they were pretty much the same.
- Every case of lock, do-something, unlock is replaced by `MutexLock` (complex cases where it's not straightfoward are kept as as explicit lock and unlock).
- `ShaderRD` contained an `std::mutex`, which has been replaced by `Mutex`.
- Renames PackedIntArray to PackedInt32Array.
- Renames PackedFloatArray to PackedFloat32Array.
- Adds PackedInt64Array and PackedFloat64Array.
- Renames Variant::REAL to Variant::FLOAT for consistency.
Packed arrays are for storing large amount of data and creating stuff like
meshes, buffers. textures, etc. Forcing them to be 64 is a huge waste of
memory. That said, many users requested the ability to have 64 bits packed
arrays for their games, so this is just an optional added type.
For Variant, the float datatype is always 64 bits, and exposed as `float`.
We still have `real_t` which is the datatype that can change from 32 to 64
bits depending on a compile flag (not entirely working right now, but that's
the idea). It affects math related datatypes and code only.
Neither Variant nor PackedArray make use of real_t, which is only intended
for math precision, so the term is removed from there to keep only float.
This attribute is now part of the standard we target so we no longer
need compiler-specific hacks.
Also enables -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang now that we can properly
support it. It's already on by default for GCC's -Wextra.
Fixes new warnings raised by Clang's -Wimplicit-fallthrough.
It's now available and allows us to have a better default environment,
with GCC 7.4.0 and Clang 7.
We now need GCC 7+ for C++17 support so it's more efficient to upgrade
the image than to install it on Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial).
Also fixes a couple -Wdeprecated-declarations warnings on macOS now
that we build against macOS 10.12.
As per #36436, we now need C++17's guaranteed copy elision feature to
solve ambiguities in Variant.
Core developers discussed the idea to move from C++14 to C++17 as our
minimum required C++ standard, and all agreed. Note that this doesn't
mean that Godot is going to be written in "modern C++", but we'll use
modern features where they make sense to simplify our "C with classes"
codebase. Apart from new code written recently, most of the codebase
still has to be ported to use newer features where relevant.
Proper support for C++17 means that we need recent compiler versions:
- GCC 7+
- Clang 6+
- VS 2017 15.7+
Additionally, C++17's `std::shared_mutex` (conditionally used by
`vk_mem_alloc.h` when C++17 support is enabled) is only available in
macOS 10.12+, so we increase our minimum supported version.
It was initially implemented in #5871 for Godot 3.0, but never really
completed or thoroughly tested for most platforms. It then stayed in
limbo and nobody seems really keen to finish it, so it's better to
remove it in 4.0, and re-add eventually (possibly with a different API)
if there's demand and an implementation confirmed working on all
platforms.
Closes#8770.
Due to the port to Vulkan and complete redesign of the rendering backend,
the `drivers/gles3` code is no longer usable in this state and is not
planned to be ported to the new architecture.
The GLES2 backend is kept (while still disabled and non-working) as it
will eventually be ported to serve as the low-end renderer for Godot 4.0.
Some GLES3 features might be selectively ported to the updated GLES2
backend if there's a need for them, and extensions we can use for that.
So long, OpenGL driver bugs!
- Renamed option to `builtin_vulkan`, since that's the name of the
library and if we were to add new components, we'd likely use that
same option.
- Merge `vulkan_loader/SCsub` in `vulkan/SCsub`.
- Accordingly, don't use built-in Vulkan headers when not building
against the built-in loader library.
- Drop Vulkan registry which we don't appear to need currently.
- Style and permission fixes.
-Texture renamed to Texture2D
-TextureLayered as base now inherits 2Darray, cubemap and cubemap array
-Removed all references to flags in textures (they will go in the shader)
-Texture3D gone for now (will come back later done properly)
-Create base rasterizer for RenderDevice, RasterizerRD
-Added VulkanContext
-Added an X11 implementation
-Added a rendering device abstraction
-added a Vulkan rendering device abstraction
-Engine does not work, only shows Godot logo (run it from bin/)
