Vulkan: Remove ShaderVariableType and flatten info map With the conversion of the interface variable info map keys to SPIR-V ids, there is no longer a benefit to bucket resources by their type. This change removes this bucketing and flattens the map. Bug: angleproject:7220 Change-Id: If83cb02ca9e91f72dddb2deb7313fee40f9f06c3 Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/angle/angle/+/4632577 Reviewed-by: Yuxin Hu <yuxinhu@google.com> Reviewed-by: Charlie Lao <cclao@google.com> Commit-Queue: Shahbaz Youssefi <syoussefi@chromium.org>
ANGLE’s Vulkan back-end implementation lives in this folder.
Vulkan is an explicit graphics API. It has a lot in common with other explicit APIs such as Microsoft’s D3D12 and Apple’s Metal. Compared to APIs like OpenGL or D3D11 explicit APIs can offer a number of significant benefits:
The RendererVk class represents an EGLDisplay. RendererVk owns shared global
resources like the VkDevice, VkQueue, the Vulkan format tables
and internal Vulkan shaders. The ContextVk class implements the back-end
of a front-end OpenGL Context. ContextVk processes state changes and handles action commands like
glDrawArrays and glDrawElements.
A render pass has three states: unstarted, started and active (we call it active in short),
started but inactive (we call it inactive in short). The back-end records commands into command
buffers via the following ContextVk APIs:
beginNewRenderPass: Writes out (aka flushes) prior pending commands into a primary command
buffer, then starts a new render pass. Returns a secondary command buffer inside a render pass
instance. getOutsideRenderPassCommandBuffer: May flush prior command buffers and close the render pass if
necessary, in addition to issuing the appropriate barriers. Returns a secondary command buffer
outside a render pass instance. getStartedRenderPassCommands: Returns a reference to the currently open render pass’ commands
buffer. onRenderPassFinished: Puts render pass into inactive state where you can not record more
commands into secondary command buffer, except in some special cases where ANGLE does some
optimization internally. flushCommandsAndEndRenderPassWithoutSubmit: Marks the end of render pass. It flushes secondary
command buffer into vulkan’s primary command buffer, puts secondary command buffer back to
unstarted state and then goes into recycler for reuse.
The back-end (mostly) records Image and Buffer barriers through additional CommandBufferAccess
APIs, the result of which is passed to getOutsideRenderPassCommandBuffer. Note that the barriers
are not actually recorded until getOutsideRenderPassCommandBuffer is called:
onBufferTransferRead and onBufferComputeShaderRead accumulate VkBuffer read barriers. onBufferTransferWrite and onBufferComputeShaderWrite accumulate VkBuffer write barriers. onBuffferSelfCopy is a special case for VkBuffer self copies. It behaves the same as write. onImageTransferRead and onImageComputerShadeRead accumulate VkImage read barriers. onImageTransferWrite and onImageComputerShadeWrite accumulate VkImage write barriers. onImageRenderPassRead and onImageRenderPassWrite accumulate VkImage barriers inside a
started RenderPass.
After the back-end records commands to the primary buffer and we flush (e.g. on swap) or when we call
RendererVk::finishQueueSerial, ANGLE submits the primary command buffer to a VkQueue.
See the code for more details.
In this example we’ll be recording a buffer copy command:
// Ensure that ANGLE sets proper read and write barriers for the Buffers.
vk::CommandBufferAccess access;
access.onBufferTransferWrite(dstBuffer);
access.onBufferTransferRead(srcBuffer);
// Get a pointer to a secondary command buffer for command recording.
vk::OutsideRenderPassCommandBuffer *commandBuffer;
ANGLE_TRY(contextVk->getOutsideRenderPassCommandBuffer(access, &commandBuffer));
// Record the copy command into the secondary buffer. We're done!
commandBuffer->copyBuffer(srcBuffer->getBuffer(), dstBuffer->getBuffer(), copyCount, copies);
