Sometimes clippy gets outdated by months, and its current support setup
means that each Servo component need to opt into it by depending on
the plugins crate manually, and not all components do that.
WebRender is an experimental GPU accelerated rendering backend for Servo.
The WebRender backend can be specified by running Servo with the -w option (otherwise the default rendering backend will be used).
WebRender has many bugs, and missing features - but it is usable to browse most websites - please report any WebRender specific rendering bugs you encounter!
To actually make the multiprocess communication work, we'll need to
reroute the task creation to the pipeline or the compositor. But this
works as a first step.
The idea here is to land this before making images and canvas IPC-safe,
because this will shake out bugs relating to the shared memory. There
are currently test timeouts that are preventing multiprocess images and
canvas from landing, and I believe those are due to the inefficiency of
sending large amounts of data in the unoptimized builds we test with. By
moving to shared memory, this should drastically reduce the number of
copies and `serde` serialization.
Under the hood, this uses Mach OOL messages on Mac and temporary
memory-mapped files on Linux.
This commit implements:
* WebGLFramebuffer
* WebGLRenderbuffer
* WebGLTexture
And adds the following methods to `WebGLRenderingContext`:
* create{Texture,Framebuffer,Renderbuffer}
* bind{Texture,Framebuffer,Renderbuffer}
* destroy{Buffer,Texture,Framebuffer,Renderbuffer}
Fixes:
* WebGLUniform location shouldn't inherit from WebGLObject.
Known Issues:
* WebGL objects have to be destroyed on drop, we may want to keep a reference to the context, or maybe a clone of the renderer to achieve this
Also refactors a huge part of the current implementation, to allow
failing on creation of different WebGL objects.
Blocked on https://github.com/servo/gleam/pull/22
A reftest for most of the added functionality is not doable right now,
we need a few more functions in order to upload a texture, for example.
