It is unlikely we will ever use this without first doing a Cast to a signed type.
Fixes 9 "unary minus operator applied to unsigned type, result still unsigned" warnings on MSVC2017.3
PR #1461 introduced a regression where some games would change configuration
even while in the poorly named "drawing" mode, which broke the heuristic
citra was using to determine when to draw the batch. This change adds
back in a draw call for batching, and also adds in a draw call in
immediate mode each time it adds a triangle.
This function is called in clipping, before the pespective divide, and is not used in later rasterization. Thus it doesn't need perspective correction.
The geometry pipeline manages data transfer between VS, GS and primitive assembler. It has known four modes:
- no GS mode: sends VS output directly to the primitive assembler (what citra currently does)
- GS mode 0: sends VS output to GS input registers, and sends GS output to primitive assembler
- GS mode 1: sends VS output to GS uniform registers, and sends GS output to primitive assembler. It also takes an index from the index buffer at the beginning of each primitive for determine the primitive size.
- GS mode 2: similar to mode 1, but doesn't take the index and uses a fixed primitive size.
hwtest shows that immediate mode also supports GS (at least for mode 0), so the geometry pipeline gets refactored into its own class for supporting both drawing mode.
In the immediate mode, some games don't set the pipeline registers to a valid value until the first attribute input, so a geometry pipeline reset flag is set in `pipeline.vs_default_attributes_setup.index` trigger, and the actual pipeline reconfigure is triggered in the first attribute input.
In the normal drawing mode with index buffer, the vertex cache is a little bit modified to support the geometry pipeline. Instead of OutputVertex, it now holds AttributeBuffer, which is the input to the geometry pipeline. The AttributeBuffer->OutputVertex conversion is done inside the pipeline vertex handler. The actual hardware vertex cache is believed to be implemented in a similar way (because this is the only way that makes sense).
Both geometry pipeline and GS unit rely on states preservation across drawing call, so they are put into the global state. In the future, the other three vertex shader units should be also placed in the global state, and a scheduler should be implemented on top of the four units. Note that the current gs_unit already allows running VS on it in the future.
