Namespaces all OpenGL code under the OpenGL namespace.
Prevents polluting the global namespace and allows clear distinction
between other renderers' code in the future.
LOG_TRACE is only enabled on debug builds which can be quite slow when
trying to debug graphics issues. Instead we can log the messages to the
debug log, which is available on both release and debug builds.
This is an OpenGL renderer-specific data type. Given that, this type
shouldn't be used within the base interface for the rasterizer. Instead,
we can pass this information to the rasterizer via reference.
Given we use a base-class type within the renderer for the rasterizer
(RasterizerInterface), we want to allow renderers to perform more
complex initialization if they need to do such a thing. This makes it
important to reserve type information.
Given the OpenGL renderer is quite simple settings-wise, this is just a
simple shuffling of the initialization code. For something like Vulkan
however this might involve doing something like:
// Initialize and call rasterizer-specific function that requires
// the full type of the instance created.
auto raster = std::make_unique<VulkanRasterizer>(some, params);
raster->CallSomeVulkanRasterizerSpecificFunction();
// Assign to base class variable
rasterizer = std::move(raster)
All calling code assumes that the rasterizer will be in a valid state,
which is a totally fine assumption. The only way the rasterizer wouldn't
be is if initialization is done incorrectly or fails, which is checked
against in System::Init().
We move the initialization of the renderer to the core class, while
keeping the creation of it and any other specifics in video_core. This
way we can ensure that the renderer is initialized and doesn't give
unfettered access to the renderer. This also makes dependencies on types
more explicit.
For example, the GPU class doesn't need to depend on the
existence of a renderer, it only needs to care about whether or not it
has a rasterizer, but since it was accessing the global variable, it was
also making the renderer a part of its dependency chain. By adjusting
the interface, we can get rid of this dependency.
Makes the global a member of the RendererBase class. We also change this
to be a reference. Passing any form of null pointer to these functions
is incorrect entirely, especially given the code itself assumes that the
pointer would always be in a valid state.
This also makes it easier to follow the lifecycle of instances being
used, as we explicitly interact the renderer with the rasterizer, rather
than it just operating on a global pointer.
Now based on std::chrono, and also works in terms of emulated time
instead of frames, so we can in the future frame-limit even when the
display is disabled, etc.
The frame limiter can also be enabled along with v-sync now, which
should be useful for those with displays running at more than 60 Hz.
