It's currently the only sane way we can use MoltenVK functions to
integrate with Metal API.
It also removes the need to specify the VK_ICD_FILENAMES environment
variable pointing to MoltenVK_icd.json.
Includes a new GstVulkanHandlePool base class for pooling different
resources togther. The descriptor cache object is ported to
GstVulkanHandlePool with the exact same functionality.
A new GstVulkanFenceCache is also implemented for caching fences
which is used internally by GstVulkanDevice for creating or reusing
fences.
The existing GstVulkanTrashFenceList object now caches trash objects.
Part 1 is a base class (vkvideofilter) that handles instance, device,
queue retrieval and holding that has been moved to the library
Part 2 is a fullscreenrenderquad that is still in the plugin that
performs all of the previous vulkan-specific functionality.
The major functionality gain this provides is proper reference counting
for a descriptor set. Overall this allows us to create descriptor sets
when they are needed (or reused from a cache) without violating any of
vulkan's object synchronisation requirements.
As there are a fixed number of sets available in a pool, the number of
descriptors in elements is currently hardcoded to 32. This can be extended
in a future change to create pools on the fly if that limit is ever overrun.
Serve two purposes:
1. refcounting of vulkan handles with associated destruction. When
combined with the trash list, the user can ensure destruction at
the correct time according to the vulkan rules.
2. avoids polluting our API with 32-bit vs 64-bit integer/pointers
differences as exposed through the vulkan API. on 32-bit, vulkan
non-dispatchable handles are 64-bit integers and on 64-bit, they
are pointers.
* Fix meson build script for Windows. Since the Vulkan dependency
object was declared by us in case of Windows, the dependency object
shouldn't be used for finding header
* Fix build error by including Windows specific header
gstvkdisplay.c(563): error C2065: 'VK_KHR_WIN32_SURFACE_EXTENSION_NAME': undeclared identifier
It's almost a fork of glwindow_win32 implementation.
To build on Windows, Vulkan SDK (at https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home)
and VK_SDK_PATH environment are required. Note that VK_SDK_PATH environment
setting is a part of the SDK installation.
