Major overhaul of render graph system for modularity and performance:
- Split compilation and execution logic into dedicated classes (Compiler, Executor, NativePassBuilder, Barriers)
- Overhauled barrier system: now uses CompiledBarrier with target state only, querying before state at execution
- Resource size/alignment now queried from D3D12 device for accurate heap allocation
- ResourceDesc now includes Type field and asserts correct union access
- Centralized D3D12 interop logic in D3D12Utility extensions
- Added RenderGraphHasher for structural graph hashing and cache invalidation
- RenderGraph class simplified to orchestrate specialized components
- ResourceAliasingManager now uses allocator for size queries
- Compilation cache now stores compiled barriers, reducing memory usage
- Improved comments, debug assertions, and removed redundant code
Result: more maintainable, efficient, and robust render graph pipeline.
Introduces a full-featured render graph system with pass culling, resource aliasing, and automatic barrier generation. Refactors resource and barrier APIs, improves error handling, and unifies result types. Renderer and render passes now use the new graph-based workflow. Updates shader includes, adds a blit shader, and improves HLSL parsing. Removes dynamic descriptor heaps in favor of persistent ones. Project file now includes the render graph module. Lays the foundation for advanced rendering features and improved memory efficiency.
Major architecture upgrade:
- Add native render pass merging (hardware pass grouping, load/store op inference)
- Implement heap-based aliasing for textures & buffers (D3D12-style)
- Unify resource model: buffers and textures in one registry
- Extend builder API for buffer creation/usage, access flags, hints
- Improve barrier/state tracking (buffer hints, indirect argument state)
- Update caching, hashing, and debug output for new model
- Add enums/structs: AttachmentLoadOp, StoreOp, BufferHint, etc.
- D3D12 backend: support named resources, temp upload buffers, correct heap usage
- Update docs, benchmarks, and project files for new features
Brings render graph closer to AAA engine standards, enabling efficient memory usage, lower driver overhead, and a more flexible API.
