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 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.
Major overhaul of GPU resource/heap management:
- Replace resource pooling and upload buffer logic with transient heap/page-based suballocation in ResourceManager.
- Add support for suballocation and heap flags/types, with D3D12 helpers.
- Remove ICommandBuffer.UploadBuffer/UploadTexture; add UpdateSubResources and CopyBuffer, move upload logic to RenderingContext.
- Refactor D3D12ResourceAllocator/Database for suballocation, heap flags, and mapping.
- Standardize on Handle<GPUBuffer> usage.
- Update meshlet/mesh utilities for new allocation handles and memory pools.
- Refactor RenderGraph and docs to use "heap" terminology.
- Use cpuFrame/gpuFrame consistently for frame sync.
- Add s2h.hlsl, s2h_3d.hlsl, s2h_scatter.hlsl shader debug libs.
- Miscellaneous fixes, cleanup, and dependency updates.
BREAKING CHANGE: Resource pooling and upload APIs replaced with new heap/page-based suballocation system. Update all buffer/texture creation and upload code to use new ResourceManager and ICommandBuffer methods.
- RenderGraph.Compile/Execute now return Error for better failure detection; error handling is propagated throughout compiler and executor.
- Renamed ScheduleReleaseResource to ReleaseResource for clarity; updated all usages.
- ResourceManager now calls ReleaseResource directly on Mesh, Material, and Shader types.
- Camera exposes Actual/Virtual size properties and Render returns Error.
- RenderingContext now uses IResourceManager for mesh/resource ops.
- Replaced custom BinaryWriter with BufferWriter in RenderGraphHasher.
- Improved variable naming, interface signatures, and code formatting.
- Added Error extension for IsSuccess/IsFailure.
- Minor FMOD/native interop and test code cleanups.
- No breaking API changes except for new Error return values on some methods.
