Also adds a new possible texture layout and API trait to support a particular behavior in D3D12 where only the COMMON layout is supported in copy queues. Fixes#98158.
- Implements asynchronous transfer queues from PR #87590.
- Adds ubershaders that can run with specialization constants specified as push constants.
- Pipelines with specialization constants can compile in the background.
- Added monitoring for pipeline compilations.
- Materials and shaders can now be created asynchronously on background threads.
- Meshes that are loaded on background threads can also compile pipelines as part of the loading process.
PR #90993 added several debugging utilities.
Among them, advanced memory tracking through the use of custom
allocators and VK_EXT_device_memory_report.
However as issue #95967 reveals, it is dangerous to leave it on by
default because drivers (or even the Vulkan loader) can too easily
accidentally break custom allocators by allocating memory through std
malloc but then request us to deallocate it (or viceversa).
This PR fixes the following problems:
- Adds --extra-gpu-memory-tracking cmd line argument
- Adds missing enum entries to
RenderingContextDriverVulkan::VkTrackedObjectType
- Adds RenderingDevice::get_driver_and_device_memory_report
- GDScript users can easily check via print(
RenderingServer.get_rendering_device().get_driver_and_device_memory_report()
)
- Uses get_driver_and_device_memory_report on device lost for appending
further info.
Fixes#95967
Features:
- Debug-only tracking of objects by type. See
get_driver_allocs_by_object_type et al.
- Debug-only Breadcrumb info for debugging GPU crashes and device lost
- Performance report per frame from get_perf_report
- Some VMA calls had to be modified in order to insert the necessary
memory callbacks
Functionality marked as "debug-only" is only available in debug or dev
builds.
Misc fixes:
- Early break optimization in RenderingDevice::uniform_set_create
