Keeps associated data together. It also eliminates the possibility of out
parameters not being initialized properly. For example, consider the
following example:
-- some FramebufferManager implementation --
void FBMgrImpl::GetTargetSize(u32* width, u32* height) override
{
// Do nothing
}
-- somewhere else where the function is used --
u32 width, height;
framebuffer_manager_instance->GetTargetSize(&width, &height);
if (texture_width != width) <-- Uninitialized variable usage
{
...
}
It makes it much more obvious to spot any initialization issues, because
it requires something to be returned, as opposed to allowing an
implementation to just not do anything.
SSAA relies on MSAA being active to work. We only supports 4x SSAA while in fact you can enable SSAA at any MSAA level.
I even managed to run 64xMSAA + SSAA on my Quadro which made some pretty sleek looking games. They were very cinematic though.
With this, it properly fixes up SSAA and MSAA support in GLES as well. Before they were broken when stereo rendering was enabled.
Now in GLES they can properly support MSAA and also stereo rendering with MSAA enabled(with proper extensions).
We are used to use the texture parameter for all util draw calls,
but AMD seems to have a bug where they use the sampler parameter
of stage 0 if no sampler is bound to the used stage.
So as workaround (and a bit as nicer code), we now use sampler
objects everywhere.
