This patch caches VAO objects instead of re-emiting all pointers per draw call.
Configuring this pointers is known as a fast task, but it yields too many GL
calls. So for better performance, just bind the VAO instead of 16 pointers.
The idea of this cache is to avoid redundant uploads. So we are going
to cache the uploaded buffers within the stream_buffer and just reuse
the old pointers.
The next step is to implement a VBO cache on GPU memory, but for now,
I want to check the overhead of the cache management. Fetching the
buffer over PCI-E should be quite fast.
Namespaces all OpenGL code under the OpenGL namespace.
Prevents polluting the global namespace and allows clear distinction
between other renderers' code in the future.
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.
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.
All tested games that use a single texture show no regression.
Only Texture2D textures are supported right now, each shader gets its own "tex_fs/vs/gs" sampler array to maintain independent textures between shader stages, the textures themselves are reused if possible.
The vertex arrays will be copied to the stream buffer one after the other, and the attributes will be set using the ARB_vertex_attrib_binding extension.
yuzu now thus requires OpenGL 4.3 or the ARB_vertex_attrib_binding extension.
Each Maxwell shader stage can have an arbitrary number of textures, but we're limited to a certain number in OpenGL. We try to only use the minimum amount of host textures by not keeping a 1:1 relation between guest texture ids and host texture ids, ie, guest texture id 8 can be host texture id 0 if it's the only texture used in the guest shader program.
This mapping will have to be passed to the shader decompiler so it can rewrite the texture accesses.
