This PR reworks the clip implementation. The highlight is that clip bounding box accounting is now done on GPU rather than CPU. The clip mask is also rasterized on EndClip rather than BeginClip, which decreases memory traffic needed for the clip stack.
This is a pretty good working state, but not all cleanup has been applied. An important next step is to remove the CPU clip accounting (it is computed and encoded, but that result is not used). Another step is to remove the Annotated structure entirely.
Fixes#88. Also relevant to #119
This patch includes a number of changes to encourage reading and writing
buffers through mapping rather than copying data as before.
This includes a new `BufWrite` abstraction which is designed for filling
buffers. It behaves much like a Vec<u8>, but with fixed capacity.
Reduce allocation of descriptor heaps. This change also enables clearing
of buffers, as the handles are needed at command dispatch time.
Also updates the tests to use clear_buffers on DX12. Looking forward to
being able to get rid of the compute shader workaround on Metal.
This is a followup on #125, and progress toward #95
Add a clear stage and associated tests, and also use it on non-Vulkan
backends to clear the state buffer.
While that's a workaround and will go away when we implement the actual
clear command, it's also a nice demo of how the new "stage" structure
composes.
This gets it working on mac. Also delete old implementation.
There's also an update to winit 0.25 in here, because it was easier to
roll forward than fix inconsistent Cargo.lock. At some point, we should
systematically update all deps.
Use an array of bindtypes rather than the previous situation, which was
a choice of buffer counts, or a heavier builder pattern.
The main thing this unlocks is distinguishing between readonly and
read/write buffers, which is important for DX12.
This is WIP, the Metal part hasn't been done, and the old stuff not
deleted.
Part of #125
This adds a prefix sum test. This patch is also trying to get a little
more serious about structuring both the test runner (toward the goal of
collecting proper statistics) and pipeline stages for the tests.
Still WIP but giving good results.
