Given we use a base-class type within the renderer for the rasterizer
(RasterizerInterface), we want to allow renderers to perform more
complex initialization if they need to do such a thing. This makes it
important to reserve type information.
Given the OpenGL renderer is quite simple settings-wise, this is just a
simple shuffling of the initialization code. For something like Vulkan
however this might involve doing something like:
// Initialize and call rasterizer-specific function that requires
// the full type of the instance created.
auto raster = std::make_unique<VulkanRasterizer>(some, params);
raster->CallSomeVulkanRasterizerSpecificFunction();
// Assign to base class variable
rasterizer = std::move(raster)
Instead, we make a struct for renderer settings and allow the renderer
to update all of these settings, getting rid of the need for
global-scoped variables.
This also uncovered a few indirect inclusions for certain headers, which
this commit also fixes.
All calling code assumes that the rasterizer will be in a valid state,
which is a totally fine assumption. The only way the rasterizer wouldn't
be is if initialization is done incorrectly or fails, which is checked
against in System::Init().
We move the initialization of the renderer to the core class, while
keeping the creation of it and any other specifics in video_core. This
way we can ensure that the renderer is initialized and doesn't give
unfettered access to the renderer. This also makes dependencies on types
more explicit.
For example, the GPU class doesn't need to depend on the
existence of a renderer, it only needs to care about whether or not it
has a rasterizer, but since it was accessing the global variable, it was
also making the renderer a part of its dependency chain. By adjusting
the interface, we can get rid of this dependency.
Makes the global a member of the RendererBase class. We also change this
to be a reference. Passing any form of null pointer to these functions
is incorrect entirely, especially given the code itself assumes that the
pointer would always be in a valid state.
This also makes it easier to follow the lifecycle of instances being
used, as we explicitly interact the renderer with the rasterizer, rather
than it just operating on a global pointer.
This removes explicit checks sprinkled all over the codebase to instead
just have the SW rasterizer expose an implementation with no-ops for
most operations.
