Inconsistencies in OpenGLGraphicsContextCustomShader

Hi,

 

Here's the Juce's OpenGL 2D demo modified to attach a texture uniform to the shader.

It might be useful for other (as I've seen requests on the forum).

However, there are numerous issues with this code. I get a lot of assertion failed in checkGLError code, internal to Juce's graphic context (unrelated to fillRect). I've added a check of GL error code right after any of my change but could not get anything.

I'm not sure why, but you must "use()" the program before setting the uniform. You also need to enable a lot of GL stuff before calling fillRect, and if you disable them afterward, you get asserts in Juce's code.

More importantly, you can not release the texture, since you've no callback when/before the OpenGL context is destructed (it's 2D code I'm not subclassing the OpenGLRenderer like in the official 3D OpenGL demo).  

How to do that ?

As I understand this, a change to the OpenGLGraphicsContextCustomShader is required. You might add an operation queue interface that would be in charge of calling the binding code for your own stuff, the unbinding code, and also the context destructing code.

Ideally, you should not leak any GL state between as it leads to errors later on in the GL state machine.

Something like this:

struct Operation 
{
    /** This is called before drawing the fragment */
    virtual bind(OpenGLContext & context, OpenGLProgramShader & shader) = 0;
    /** This is called after drawing the fragment */
    virtual unbind(OpenGLContext & context, OpenGLProgramShader & shader) = 0;
    /** This is called just before the OpenGLContext is destructed (you might free your resources here) */
    virtual contextDestructing(OpenGLContext & context) = 0;
}; 
// In your OpenGLGraphicsContextCustomShader, you'll need an array/queue/whatever of those, and call the methods at the right time

What do you think ?

*Bump*

Right now, OpenGLGraphicsContextCustomShader is a toy for a demo but nothing else (you can not do anything serious with it as it is).

We can not add any attribute to the shader program (because it interacts with the "hidden" pixelAlpha and useless pixelPos attribute), and we can not release the texture if we add a uniform to the program because we have no way to release it.

 

 

 

*up*

Yes, saw this, will get onto it asap!

Cool - would be great.  Be good for my temporary gradient dithering fill routine too ;-)

Re: releasing resources when the context is destroyed, that's what the OpenGLContext::get/setAssociatedObject methods are for. They're already used for things like CPU-cached texture versions of images, etc and seem to work pretty well. I wouldn't want to create a different class that does the same job.

Ok, that would solve the texture not-destroyed error, but how about the other issues ?

Typically, Juce's code is bind/unbinding many things, and if I do my homework on my side (bind, use, unbind), I would expect that this does not break later Juce's code, but it does. At some point in time, we'll bind/unbind the same thing many time (or in a incompatible way), it's going to be non-optimal, and full of errors...

For example, if I want to add a uniform for the texture size, currently I can't do that properly (since I don't know when to unbind, and what'll be the ID of the uniform since Juce's using some uniform internally). I need to give Juce's my "OpenGL" objects, and let it bind/unbind at its own will.

 

 

To add my two cents: I think your code is still missing the binding of the texture and setting the uniform to the right value (0):

// in paint()
            texture.bind();
            textureUniform->set (0);
            shader->fillRect (g.getInternalContext(), getLocalBounds());
            texture.unbind();

But, yes, ultimately your point remains valid: there is no way to bind things before the fillRect and no way to unbind after the fillRect call. However, at this point that's a limitation of the OpenGLGraphicsContextCustomShader: you can only use shaders which do not depend on the current state of the context. This means that there is no way to currently use textures in the custom shader. It's worth thinking about how we could fix this in the future.

@fabian @jules has OpenGLGraphicsContextCustomShader received any attention since it was written? Particularly the limitations expressed in this thread?
