Refactored the shader compilation pipeline to introduce modularity, improve performance, and enhance maintainability. Key changes include:
- Added `ShaderCompilationConfig`, `CompilerOptimizeLevel`, and `ShaderStage` enums.
- Replaced `SM` property with `ShaderModel` in shader models.
- Introduced `ShaderLibrary` for in-memory and disk-based shader caching.
- Refactored `DSLShaderCompiler` and `AntlrShaderCompiler` for better hashing and error handling.
- Centralized shader compilation logic in `ShaderCompilerUtility`.
- Removed legacy shader compilation logic from `IShaderCompiler`.
- Updated `RenderGraph`, `ResourceManager`, and `Material` to integrate with the new caching system.
- Improved memory management with `NativeMemoryManager<T>`.
BREAKING CHANGE: Removed legacy shader compilation methods and replaced them with a new caching and compilation system.
Refactored shader compilation and resource management systems:
- Introduced `DXCShaderCompiler` for HLSL compilation and reflection.
- Added `BuildFinalShaderCode` method for robust shader code generation.
- Replaced raw strings with `ShaderEntryPoint` struct for shader paths.
- Updated `RenderContext` and `RenderGraphContext` for new pipeline methods.
- Added thread-safe resource management methods in `ResourceManager`.
- Introduced `DXCShaderReflectionData` for shader reflection handling.
- Removed redundant code and simplified `ShaderPropertiesRegistry`.
BREAKING CHANGE: Updated shader and resource APIs to use new structures and methods.
Refactored shader system to support both graphics and compute shaders.
- Updated ANTLR grammars and parser logic for explicit shader model and compute shader entry points.
- Split shader models and descriptors for graphics and compute.
- Refactored pipeline key generation and D3D12 pipeline library for compute support.
- Updated push constant layouts and HLSL includes for both shader types.
- Improved error handling and test coverage with new example files.
BREAKING CHANGE: Shader model, descriptor, and pipeline APIs have changed. Existing shader and pipeline code must be updated to use the new types and conventions.
Major refactor of render pipeline and shader system:
- Replaced legacy shader properties with source generator and attribute-based HLSL struct generation.
- Introduced ShaderPropertiesRegistry for runtime property layout/code registration.
- Added modular IRenderPipeline, IRenderPipelineSettings, and IRenderPayload interfaces.
- Implemented GhostRenderPipeline and ECS-driven GPUScene management.
- Added experimental DirectX 12 Work Graph support.
- Refactored shader compilation, variant hashing, and caching.
- Updated APIs for consistency and improved codegen for registration.
These changes modernize the rendering infrastructure for advanced features like work graphs and dynamic pipelines.
BREAKING CHANGE: Shader DSL, pipeline, and property APIs have changed. Existing shaders and pipeline integrations must be updated.
Refactored native wrappers to use ReadOnlySpan<T> for pointer parameters, improving .NET safety and interop. Enhanced wrapper generator with $TYPE and prefix/suffix-based parameter remapping. Added platform-specific native library loading for meshoptimizer, nvtt, and ufbx. Updated D3D12GraphicsEngineFactory for native DLL resolution and removed redundant logic from UnitTestApp. Changed RenderGraphBuilder's resource extraction API to use QueryTextureExtraction/QueryBufferExtraction with explicit handles and flags. Removed IRenderer and D3D12Renderer, moving RenderContext to RenderPipeline. Improved mesh loading, resource management, and updated test shader conventions. Updated project references, build settings, and added launchSettings.json for tooling.
BREAKING CHANGE: Native wrapper APIs now use ReadOnlySpan<T> instead of pointers. RenderGraphBuilder resource extraction API has changed. IRenderer and D3D12Renderer have been removed.
