cus at the very worst im making 66 gl calls per flush of data to the display (glactivetexture, glbindtexture taking up 64 gl calls with 32 textures used) then a setsubdata and drawelementsinstanced

unrelated to silk but i figured people here might be able to help, how would i go about generating c# bindings for a cpp library? im trying to use this fork of libInput https://github.com/netpipe/libInput/ to allow me to distinguish multiple keyboards

i tried CppSharp but it doesnt generate any actual bindings and i cant figure out why

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 5:56 AM

heres the cppsharp log if some wizard knows what went wrong, but it only generates a blank Std.cs file

I advise against making C++ bindings

Perksey•6/10/22, 9:27 AM

The ABI is pretty non-standard and no tools have proper support for it, best bet is making a C layer and binding to that

You'll gain little to no performance improvement in the GL calls. Maybe you get some improvement in CPU heavy workloads, but I kinda doubt it.

Supine•6/10/22, 1:02 PM

Don't care.

Kai•6/10/22, 1:03 PM

Supine•6/10/22, 1:06 PM

It's better to implement use of atlasing/texture array/array of textures than to optimize 64 bind texture calls

Kai•6/10/22, 1:07 PM

I mean it depends massively on what the performance characteristics are. Depending on what the textures are you just have to use normal binds.

Kai•6/10/22, 1:07 PM

There's rarely a silver bullet in (graphics) programming

Perksey•6/10/22, 1:15 PM

The max 4 bound textures in standard Vulkan 1.2 will really make you work hard to find them though!

Kai•6/10/22, 1:15 PM

I mean that's the minimum of the minimum

Perksey•6/10/22, 1:16 PM

yeah ofc, just the constraints you have to work with to have guaranteed portable code

Perksey•6/10/22, 1:16 PM

glad 1.3 has increased it but I hate the lag time for adoption :/

Kai•6/10/22, 1:20 PM

There's been the introduction of the compatability subset too, and that stuff is wild

Kai•6/10/22, 1:20 PM

I've tried building on that, but it's sooo many hoops to jump

darn i can barely see with glasses at all let alone see incremented

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 6:43 PM

have you tried seeing incremented

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 6:43 PM

its hard

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 6:44 PM

oh shit is a thing, so i dont need to do any of that

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 6:44 PM

and i can do it all in 1 gl call

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 6:45 PM

(on gl4 at least, ill have to reimplement glBindTextures using glActiveTexture glBindTexture for gl2 and gles)

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 6:45 PM

but that is for later, right now i need to implement text wrapping

Supine•6/10/22, 6:47 PM

I think you meant descriptor sets, because that's exactly how many i can have on my phone.

Perksey•6/10/22, 6:48 PM

if that's what you think i mean then you're wrong

Perksey•6/10/22, 6:48 PM

i meant what i said

Supine•6/10/22, 6:52 PM

Just query physical device capabilities and ~~shit pants~~ error when they have max 4 inages.

Perksey•6/10/22, 6:53 PM

but then you are defeating the point of vulkan

Supine•6/10/22, 6:54 PM

Being able to run on a potato? (Hmm a new idea)

Perksey•6/10/22, 6:55 PM

being portable

Perksey•6/10/22, 6:56 PM

vulkan was designed to unify mobile and desktop

Perksey•6/10/22, 6:57 PM

as well as to continue mantle's legacy

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 6:57 PM

if only apple were to really embrace vulkan the world would be whole, but no we gotta deal with metal (which isnt nessesarily bad, but its closed so its hard to justify developing metal code specifically)

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 6:58 PM

at least MoltenVK is oss

Perksey•6/10/22, 6:58 PM

i love how everyone ignores DirectX, NVN, and Gnm

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 6:59 PM

IndirectY, SVN, and Gnome

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 7:00 PM

unrelated but look at this beautiful text wrapping i just wrote

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 7:01 PM

very fun

Kai•6/10/22, 7:27 PM

Beautiful UI

Kai•6/10/22, 7:27 PM

I'm surprised your code allows overflows. How do you do that?

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 7:29 PM

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 7:30 PM

do you mean how do i even allow text to overflow the container its in?

Kai•6/10/22, 7:30 PM

Yeah

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 7:31 PM

my UI code is very very stupid

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 7:31 PM

it doesnt have a true concept of "size" and "positioning"

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 7:31 PM

at least not automatically

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 7:32 PM

that container is literally just a rectangle with some text on top

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 7:33 PM

the illusion of it being "inside" the rectangle is caused by it being within the bounds and drawn above it, when in reality, its not 'inside' it

Lyris the KitoriOP•6/10/22, 7:33 PM

theres not really a higherachy, just a bunch of ordered lists
