With timeline semaphores we can avoid creating objects. Instead of
creating an event, grab the current tick from the scheduler and flush
the current command buffer. When the fence has to be queried/waited, we
can do so against the master semaphore instead of spinning on an event.
If Vulkan supported NVN like events or fences, we could signal from the
command buffer and wait for that without splitting things in two
separate command buffers.
Intel and AMD proprietary drivers are incapable of rendering to texture
views of different formats than the original texture. Avoid creating
these at a cache level. This will consume more memory, emulating them
with copies.
This breaks accelerated decoders trying to imageStore into images with
sRGB. The decoders are currently disabled so this won't cause issues at
runtime.
The "VK" prefix predates the "Vulkan" namespace. It was carried around
the codebase for consistency. "VKDevice" currently is a bad alias with
"VkDevice" (only an upcase character of difference) that can cause
confusion. Rename all instances of it.
During the transition to make the error dialog translatable, I
accidentally got rid of the conversion to ResultStatus, which prevented
operator<< from being invoked during formatting.
This adds a function to directly retrieve the result status string
instead so that it displays again.
Increases the controller connection delay to 60ms and refactors it to attempt to disconnect all controllers prior to connecting all controllers in HID.
For listing the available physical devices we can use Vulkan 1.0.
Now that MoltenVK supports 1.1 we can require it for running games.
Add missing documentation.
VKDevice::IsSuitable was not being called. To address this issue, check
suitability before initialization and throw an exception if it fails.
By doing this, we can deduplicate some code on queue searches.
Previosuly we would first search if a present and graphics queue
existed, then on initialization we would search again to find the index.
Report device enumeration errors with exceptions to be consistent with
other initialization related function calls. Reduces the amount of code
to maintain.
Move surface initialization code to a separate file. It's unlikely to
use this code outside of Vulkan, but keeping platform-specific code
(Win32, Xlib, Wayland) in its own translation unit keeps things cleaner.
Move more Vulkan code to report errors with exceptions and report them
through a log before notifying it with an error boolean for backwards
compatibility. In the future we can replace the rasterizer two-step
initialization to always use exceptions.
Initialize debug callbacks (messenger) from a separate file. This allows
sharing code with different backends.
Change our Vulkan error handling to use exceptions instead of error
codes, simplifying the initialization process.
