* List of dependencies for Lightmass needs to be derived from the engine directory at runtime, rather than assuming that the base directory is Engine/Binaries/Win64.
* AgentInterface.dll is now copied to the same output folder as the editor SwarmInterface DLL at build time, rather than being checked into P4 in two places.

Fixed material instances returning their local data when not overridden.
#jira UE-48254
Change 3608455 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Enabling WorldPositionOffset requires disabling fast-math on Metal because the manually specified FMA's are not respected if one or more arguments is a literal which then leads to very different compiler optimisation between the depth-only shader and the base-pass shader. This change will only affect the way Metal compiles shaders.

DR - Integrate: Improve performance of bokeh depth of field.
* Fewer instances with more work (higher quad count) per instance.
* Improves performance on RX 480 in the Infiltrator demo by 0.37 ms at 1080p and 0.50 ms at 1440p (average frame time over the beginning of the demo, including the hallway confrontation between the guard and the infiltrator, where heavy DOF is used).
* Similar optimizations may be possible for other systems that perform similar "instanced draws of quads" (e.g. virtual texture page table updates, lens blur, and velocity scatter).
Change 3611345 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Missed the hash-table destructor in previous change.
Change 3611372 by Rolando.Caloca
DR - vk - New barrier/layout api
Change 3611445 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Fix stupid bugs in MetalBackend's LoadRWBuffer helper function where the wrong type was being used - won't fix problems in the LinearTexture case though.
Change 3611686 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Remove the sampler from the Metal Linear Texture SRV path as for reasons so far unknown it doesn?╟╓t work with the light grid culling.
#jira UE-48881
Change 3611743 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Implement early depth test for Metal - it is implemented such that manual specification of the SV_Depth* outputs will elide the early_fragment_test qualifier as Metal does not permit both at present.
Change 3611746 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Use early fragment tests implicitly unless we perform a direct resource write or use discard - explicit depth writes always disable early fragment tests as Metal doesn?╟╓t allow both. This should better match D3D driver behaviour.
Change 3611756 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Missed a header file in last commit.
Change 3611836 by Mark.Satterthwaite

Enabling Eye-Adaptation in TM-ShaderModels.
Change 3613205 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Fully disable linear textures in Metal - they simply aren't performant. Instead we'll have to use helper functions to dynamically type-cast appropriately within the shader. This is currently only configured for a handful of UAV types and will need to be extended.
Change 3613208 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Add code to MetalBackend to promote half types to float for math operations to avoid compiler errors.

Change 3618408 by Daniel.Wright
Lightmass skylight solver improvements
* Lightmass uses a filtered cubemap to represent the skylight instead of a 3rd order Spherical Harmonic. Directionality in shadowed areas is improved. Mip level is chosen based on the ray differential for anti-aliasing.
* Multiple skylight and emissive bounces are now supported with a radiosity solver, controlled by NumSkyLightingBounces in Lightmass WorldSettings. More bounces results in longer build times, and the radiosity time is not distributable.
* The mapping surface cache is now rasterized with supersampling, reduces incorrect darkness in corners
* Combined direct lighting, photon irradiance, skylight radiosity and diffuse in the mapping surface cache so final gather rays only have to do one memory fetch, speeds up lighting builds by 7%.
* Added support for Embree packet tracing although no solver algorithms use it yet
Change 3618413 by Daniel.Wright
Swarm hands out the most expensive tasks in roughly a round robin ordering among distribution agents. Lightmass processing of a single task is multithreaded, so ideally the most expensive tasks are evenly distributed among active agents. This has the biggest impact in small scenes with 10's of high resolution lightmaps, and with a distribution farm. Build time in one scene went from to 113s -> 47s.
Change 3618439 by Mark.Satterthwaite

Trivial FMetalStateCache optimisations - won't help much but equally they shouldn't hurt.
Change 3621262 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Correct the handling of MSAA target in Desktop Forward for iOS - now the problem is that iOS always creates an internal resolve target so which texture to bind depends on the shader parameter type. Not sure (yet) how best to solve that.

A couple more trivial optimisations to MetalRHI for iOS:
- Metal page size is 4k but only buffers under 512 bytes should go through set*Bytes on iOS to balance CPU cost.
- On iOS the minimum buffer size should therefore be 1k and on Mac 4k as nothing else makes much sense.
- No need to rebind uniform buffers if to the same slot - it just wastes cycles.

Fix cloth rendering on Metal - some of the data in FClothVertex is uint but we load it from a float buffer.

==========================
Change 3121996 on 2016/09/12 by Ben.Marsh
Add support for Visual Studio 2017 (aka "15"; assuming consistent naming with other versions until final name is announced).
* Compiler, STL implementation and CRT are binary compatible with VS2015 (see https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/08/24/c1417-features-and-stl-fixes-in-vs-15-preview-4/), so no new third-party libraries needed so far. WindowsPlatform.GetVisualStudioCompilerVersionName() returns "2015" as a result.
* Default compiler for compiling and generating project files is still VS 2015 for now. Pass -2017 on the command line to GenerateProjectFiles.bat to generate VS2017 projects. Projects generated for VS2017 will use the 2017 compiler by default.
* Visual Studio source code accessor can talk to VS 2017 instances.
* Added a VS2017 configuration for UnrealVS, and added precompiled vsix package.
* Switched GetVSComnTools to check the SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\SxS\VS7 registry key rather than the individual product install registry key. "15" doesn't seem to have it's own "InstallDir" key, but this system seems to work for all versions of Visual Studio (including previous releases of VS Express).
* Removed ATL dependency from VisualStudioSourceCodeAccessor. It's not installed with VS by default any more, and is only used for a couple of smart pointer classes.
Tested running the editor and packaging TP_Flying for Win64. Packaging from the editor still defaults to using the 2015 compiler, so ConfigureToolchain() needs to be overriden from the .target.cs file if multiple Visual Studio versions are installed.
Change 3189363 on 2016/11/07 by Ben.Marsh
Consolidate functionality for determining the path to MSBuild.exe to use for compiling UE4 tools into a single batch file (GetMSBuildToolPath) and fix "Clean" not working on PS4 due to include/library paths being set to something by the Visual Studio environment.

UBT: Prevent the name of each file compiled being output twice on XboxOne. Compiler already outputs this string; the action doesn't need to.

UBT: Deprecate the GetGeneratedCodeVersion() callback in favor of a member variable instead.
Change 3211942 on 2016/11/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove legacy code which tries to change the output paths for console binaries. Output paths for monolithic binaries are always in the project folder now.
Change 3215333 on 2016/11/30 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Replace the GetSupportedPlatforms() callback on TargetRules with a SupportedPlatforms attribute. Since a TargetRules object can only be instantiated with an actual platform, it doesn't make sense for it to be an instance method.
Change 3215482 on 2016/11/30 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the GetSupportedConfigurations() callback on the TargetRules class. A configuration is required to construct a TargetRules instance, so it doesn't make sense to need to call an instance method to find out which configurations are supported.
Change 3215743 on 2016/11/30 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Deprecate the TargetRules.ShouldCompileMonolithic() function: this function requires access to the global command line to operate correctly, which prevents creating target-specific instances, and does not use the platform/configuration passed into the TargetRules constructor.
Rather than being a callback, the LinkType field can now be set to TargetLinkType.Modular or TargetLinkType.Monolithic from the constructor as appropriate. The default value (TargetLinkType.Default) results in the default link type for the target type being used. Parsing of the command-line overrides is now done when building the TargetDescriptor.
Change 3215778 on 2016/11/30 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Mark overrides of the TargetRules.GetModulesToPrecompile method as obsolete.
Change 3217681 on 2016/12/01 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Prevent UE4Build deleting .modules files when running with the -Clean argument; these files are artifacts generated by UBT itself, not by the exported XGE script.

UBT: Run pre- and post-build steps for all plugins that are being built, not just those that are enabled.

Change 3219161 on 2016/12/02 by Ben.Marsh
Core: Use the directory containing the current module to derive the UE4 base directory, rather than the executable directory. Allows UE4 to be hosted by a process in a different directory.
Change 3219197 on 2016/12/02 by Ben.Marsh
Core: When loading a DLL from disk, convert any relative paths to absolute before calling LoadLibrary. The OS resolves these paths relative to the directory containing the process executable -- not the working directory -- so paths need to be absolute to allow UE4 to be hosted by a process elsewhere.
Change 3219209 on 2016/12/02 by Ben.Marsh
Replace some calls to LoadLibrary() with FPlatformProcess::GetDllHandle(). The UE4 function makes sure that relative paths are resolved relative to the correct base directory, which is important when the host executable is not in Engine/Binaries/Win64.
Change 3219610 on 2016/12/02 by Ben.Marsh
Add the -q (quiet) option to the Mac unzip command, since it's creating too much log output to be useful.

UBT: Add option to disable IWYU checks regarding the use of monolithic headers (Engine.h, UnrealEd.h, etc...) and including the matching header for a cpp file first. bEnforceIWYU can be set to false in UEBuildConfiguration or on a per-module basis in the module rules.
Change 3220796 on 2016/12/04 by Ben.Marsh
Remove PrepForUATPackageOrDeploy from the UEBuildDeploy base class. It never has to be accessed through the base class anyway.

Change 3223817 on 2016/12/06 by Ben.Marsh
Remove non-ANSI characters from source files. Compiler/P4 support is patchy for this, and we want to avoid failing prey to different codepages resulting in different interpretations of the source text.
Change 3224046 on 2016/12/06 by Ben.Marsh
Remove the need for the iOS/TVOS deployment instances to have an IOSPlatformContext instance. The only dependency between the two -- a call to GetRequiredCapabilities() -- is now implemented by querying the INI file for the supported architectures when neeeded.
Change 3224792 on 2016/12/07 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Touch PCH wrapper files whenever the file they include is newer rather than writing the timestamp for the included file into it as a comment. Allows use of ccache and similar tools.
Change 3225212 on 2016/12/07 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move settings required for deployment into the UEBuildDeployTarget class, allowing them to be serialized to and from a file the intermediate directory without having to construct a phony UEBuildTarget to deploy.
Deployment is now performed by a method on UEBuildPlatform, rather than having to create a UEBuildPlatformContext and using that to create a UEBuildDeploy object.
The -prepfordeploy UBT invocation from UAT, previously done by the per-platform PostBuildTarget() callback when building with XGE, is replaced by running UBT with a path to the serialized UEBuildDeployTarget object, and can be done in a platform agnostic manner.

UBT: Rewritten config file parser. No longer requires hard-coded list of sections to be parsed, but parses them on demand. Measured 2x faster read speeds (largely due to eliminating construction of temporary string objects when parsing each line, to trim whitespace and so on). Also includes an attribute-driven parser, which allows reading named config values for marked up fields in an object.

UAT: Stop UE4Build deriving from CommandUtils. Confusing pattern, and causes problems trying to access instance variables that are only set for build commands.

UAT: Move ParseParam*() functions which use the instanced parameter list from CommandUtils to BuildCommand, since that's the only thing that it's instanced for.
