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.
Major overhaul of Render Graph system:
- Replaced texture handles with generic Identifier<T> for unified, type-safe resource management (textures, buffers, etc.)
- Refactored resource registry and pooling for performance and extensibility
- Added AccessFlags and TextureAccess for precise resource usage tracking
- Split passes into Raster and Compute types; introduced builder interfaces for safer pass construction
- Modernized pass setup API (SetColorAttachment, UseTexture, etc.)
- Updated command buffer and context structs to use new resource system
- Refactored barrier and aliasing logic for improved correctness
- Integrated BenchmarkDotNet for performance/memory benchmarking
- Improved blackboard type safety and removed obsolete code/extensions
- Added BenchmarkDotNet NuGet package
These changes make the Render Graph more extensible, efficient, and ready for future resource types and advanced features.
