Cache size is configurable by the meshgen_block_cache_size (default 20 MB).
New profiler stats:
- MeshUpdateQueue MapBlock cache hit %
- MeshUpdateQueue MapBlock cache size kB
Removes one type of stutter that was seen on the client when received MapBlocks
were being handled. (the "MeshMakeData::fill" stutter)
Kind of related to at least #5239
Originally preceded by these commits, now includes them:
- Move the mesh generator thread into src/mesh_generator_thread.{cpp,h}
- mesh_generator_thread.cpp: Update code style
- MeshUpdateThread: Modify interface to house a different implementation: Actual functionality will be changed by next commits.
- MeshMakeData: Add fillBlockData() interface (so that caller can fill in stuff from eg. a MapBlock cache)
* Some performance optimizations
This is globally removing some memory useless copy
* use a const ref return on std::string Settings::get to prevent data copy on getters which doesn't need to copy it
* pass some stack created strings to static const as they are not modified anywhere
* Camera: return nametags per const ref instead of a list pointer, we only need to read it
* INodeDefManager: getAll should be a result ref writer instead of a return copy
* INodeDefManager: getAlias should return a const std::string ref
* Minimap: unroll a Scolor creation in blitMinimapPixersToImageRadar to prvent many variable construct/destruct which are unneeded (we rewrite the content in the loop)
* CNodeDefManager::updateAliases: prevent a idef getall copy
* Profiler: constness
* rollback_interface: create real_name later, and use const ref
* MapBlockMesh updateFastFaceRow: unroll TileSpec next_tile, which has a cost of 1.8% CPU due to variable allocation/destruction,
* MapBlockMesh updateFastFaceRow: copy next_tile to tile only if it's a different tilespec
* MapBlockMesh updateFastFaceRow: use memcpy to copy next_lights to lights to do it in a single cpu operation
- Increase ContentFeatures serialization version
- Color property and palettes for nodes
- paramtype2 = "color", "colored facedir" or "colored wallmounted"
* Environment code refactoring
* Cleanup includes & class declarations in client & server environment to improve build speed
* ServerEnvironment::m_gamedef is now a pointer to Server instead of IGameDef, permitting to cleanup many casts.
* Cleanup IGameDef
* Move ITextureSource* IGameDef::getTextureSource() to Client only.
* Also move ITextureSource *IGameDef::tsrc() helper
* drop getShaderSource, getSceneManager, getSoundManager & getCamera abstract call
* drop unused emerge() call
* cleanup server unused functions (mentionned before)
* Drop one unused parameter from ContentFeatures::updateTextures
* move checkLocalPrivilege to Client
* Remove some unnecessary casts
* create_formspec_menu: remove IWritableTextureSource pointer, as client already knows it
* Fix some comments
* Change required IGameDef to Server/Client pointers
* Previous change that game.cpp sometimes calls functions with Client + InventoryManager + IGameDef in same functions but it's the same objects
* Remove duplicate Client pointer in GUIFormSpecMenu::GUIFormSpecMenu
* drop ClientMap::sectorWasDrawn which is unused
Move debug streams to log.cpp|h
Move GUI-related globals to clientlauncher
Move g_settings and g_settings_path to settings.cpp|h
Move g_menuclouds to clouds.cpp|h
Move g_profiler to profiler.cpp|h
Directely or indirectly optimises the following functions:
* MapBlockMesh::MapBlockMesh
* MapBlockMesh::getTileInfo
* MapBlockMesh::makeFastFace
* MapBlockMesh::getSmoothLightCombined
- Don't create and cache an extruded mesh for every (non-node) item.
Instead use a single one per image resolution.
- For cubic nodes reuse a single wield mesh too
- Improve lighting of the wielded item
- Increase far value of wield mesh scene camera, fixes#1770
- Also includes some minor refactorings of Camera and GenericCAO.
