Found when running in valgrind looking at another issue.
- RenderPass' depth_stencil_target
Tripped in SDL_BindGPUFragmentSamplers when not binding a DS target
- VulkanCommandBuffer's swapchainRequested
Tripped in VULKAN_Submit for the end transition barrier when
creating an image. The field is only reset when reused, not on first
use
We previously thought this wasn't possible because constant buffer offsets and
partial updates were unavailable, but we were reading the wrong table - this is
only the case for D3D11...
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3d11/overviews-direct3d-11-devices-downlevel-intro
... while 12 doesn't list this feature at all:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3d12/hardware-feature-levels
We double checked and Jesse Natalie confirmed that this feature is required for
D3D12 even for 11_0 drivers. (Thanks Jesse!)
Additionally, D3D12 requires that UAVs are accessible from all shader stages,
meaning Tier 2 is enough to support the number of UAVs we need. Tier 1 could be
a property to lower the requirements, but that can be done later.
When skipping presentation due to the window being hidden, presentDataCount is not incremented on the command buffer, and subsequently the submitted command buffers will not be cleaned up as long as the window is hidden. This results in a lag spike when showing the window due to all previously submitted command buffers suddenly being cleaned up at once, and lag at shutdown due to an equivalent number of fences needing to be destroyed.
Instead of relying on presentDataCount to determine whether a command buffer should be cleaned up, use a flag, which is set under the appropriate circumstances.
This still logs backend choices, but we might use it for other things. For
example, what Android device is being used, or all the devices we enumerated,
etc.
Ideally this eventually logs all the stuff we often have to ask followup
questions about.
For a depth buffer in D3D12 that is also going to be used in a texture sampler, the creation (on an Intel HD 5500 igpu) fails. e.g. SDL_GPUTextureCreateInfo type = TEXTURE_2D, format = D32_FLOAT, usage = DEPTH_STENCIL_TARGET | SAMPLER
The error messages are:
D32_FLOAT
D3D12 ERROR: ID3D12Device::CreateShaderResourceView: The Format (0x29, R32_FLOAT) is invalid when creating a View; the
Resource was already created with a fully qualified Format, which is not castable (0x28, D32_FLOAT).
D24_UNORM
D3D12 ERROR: ID3D12Device::CreateShaderResourceView: For the resource format D24_UNORM_S8_UINT, when making a D3D view, the format name for the view can't be R24_UNORM_X8_TYPELESS.
I found this is because the texture format needs to be created as _TYPELESS, then the views (depth stencil view, shader resource view) should then be created as their respective types - e.g. texture = R32_TYPELESS, dsv = D32_FLOAT, srv = R32_FLOAT
Tested and working on:
NVidia RTX 3050 (D3D12 feature set 12_2)
Intel HD 5500 (D3D12 feature set 11_1)
