This exposes interfaces to render glyphs into a texture atlas. The main changes are:
* Methods to plumb raw Metal GPU resources (device, texture, etc) into piet-gpu-hal objects.
* A new glyph_render API specialized to rendering glyphs. This is basically the same as just painting to a canvas, but will allow better caching (and has more direct access to fonts, bypassing the Piet font type which is underdeveloped).
* Ability to render to A8 target in addition to RGBA.
WIP, there are some rough edges, not least of which is that the image format changes are only on mac and cause compile errors elsewhere.
Make max workgroup size 256 and respect LG_WG_FACTOR.
Because the monoid scans only support a height of 2, this will reduce
the maximum scene complexity we can render. But it also increases
compatibility. Supporting larger scans is a TODO.
This is one of the stages in the new element pipeline. It's a simple
one, just a prefix sum of a couple counts, and some of it will probably
get merged with a downstream stage, but we'll do it separately for now
for convenience.
This patch also contains an update to Vulkan tools 1.2.198, which
accounts for the large diff of translated shaders.
This patch contains the core of the path stream processing, though some
integration bits are missing. The core logic is tested, though
combinations of path types, transforms, and line widths are not (yet).
Progress towards #119
There's a bit of reorganizing as well. Shader stages are made available
from piet-gpu to the test rig, config is now a proper structure
(marshaled with bytemuck).
This commit just has the transform stage, which is a simple monoid scan
of affine transforms.
Progress toward #119
The flag read needs acquire semantics. There are a number of ways that
could be expressed, but a generally portable way is to have a barrier
after. However, in the translation to Metal, that barrier needs to be in
uniform control flow. This patch does some workarounds to ensure that.
memoryBarrierBuffer is mapped to the threadgroup_barrier function in
Metal, which is a control barrier that must be executed by all threads
(or none). This change establishes that property for the two memory
barriers we have.
While here, remove ENABLE_IMAGE_INDICES completely; it was disabled in
an earlier change.

Separate out render context upload from renderer creation. Upload ramps
to GPU buffer. Encode gradients to scene description. Fix a number of
bugs in uploading and processing.
This renders gradients in a test image, but has some shortcomings. For
one, staging buffers need to be applied for a couple things (they're
just host mapped for now). Also, the interaction between sRGB and
premultiplied alpha isn't quite right. The size of the gradient ramp
buffer is fixed and should be dynamic.
And of course there's always more optimization to be done, including
making the upload of gradient ramps more incremental, and probably
hashing of the stops instead of the processed ramps.
Don't recompute the parameters from quadratic subdivision, but rather
retain them across the two phases (summing the subdivision estimate, and
generating the subdivisions). The motivation for this is that the values
were subtly different (differing by 1 or 2 least signficant bits) across
the two phases. It *might* also be faster depending on ALU/memory
relative performance.
Fixes#107
WIP. Most of the GPU-side work should be done (though it's not tested
end-to-end and it's certainly possible I missed something), but still
needs work on encoding side.
The compute shaders have a check for the succesful completion of their
preceding stage. However, consider a shader execution path like the
following:
void main()
if (mem_error != NO_ERROR) {
return;
}
...
malloc(...);
...
barrier();
...
}
and shader execution that fails to allocate memory, thereby setting
mem_error to ERR_MALLOC_FAILED in malloc before reaching the barrier. If
another shader execution then begins execution, its mem_eror check will
make it return early and not reach the barrier.
All GPU APIs require (dynamically) uniform control flow for barriers,
and the above case may lead to GPU hangs in practice.
Fix this issue by replacing the early exits with careful checks that
don't interrupt barrier control flow.
Unfortunately, it's harder to prove the soundness of the new checks, so
this change also clears dynamic memory ranges in MEM_DEBUG mode when
memory is exhausted. The result is that accessing memory after
exhaustion triggers an error.

Don't run extensions unless they're available. This includes querying
for descriptor indexing, and running one of two versions of kernel4
depending on whether it's enabled.
Part of the support needed for #78
The BeginClip and EndClip bounding boxes are absolute and must pairwise
match. I mistakenly modified the BeginClip bounding box for stroked
clips.

coarse.comp knows the maximum stack depth, and can pre-allocate scratch
space for kernel4.comp. Kernel4 no longer contains allocations nor
control barriers.
The invocation local blend stack is gone as well; it didn't seem to make
any difference in performance to always use global memory for pushing
and popping.

Pre-multiplied alpha only matters for translucent objects; draw a few
such shapes in the test render.

Reclaims the space waste from splitting fill mode commands from fill
commands.
For example, a CmdStroke + CmdColor use an extra tag word compared to
the former combined CmdStroke. This change shaves off that one word.
In the future, we can pack several command tags into one tag word,
saving even more space.

This change completes general support for stroked fills for clips and
images.
Annotated_size increases from 28 to 32, because of the linewidth field
added to AnnoImage. Stroked image fills are presumably rare, and if
memory pressure turns out to be a bottleneck, we could replace the
linewidth field with a separate AnnoLinewidth elements.

Before this change, every command (FillColor, FillImage, BeginClip)
had (or would need) stroke, (non-zero) fill and solid variants.
This change adds a command for each fill mode and their parameters,
reducing code duplication and adds support for stroked FillImage and
BeginClip as a side-effect.
The rest of the pipeline doesn't yet support Stroked FillImage and
BeginClip. That's a follow-up change.
Since each command includes a tag, this change adds an extra word for
each fill and stroke. That waste is also addressed in a follow-up.
