--------------------------------------------
Descripton:
The patch does provide a new class PixelDataBufferObject which is capable of allocating memory on the GPU side (PBO memory) of arbitrary size. The memory can then further be used to be enabled into read mode (GL_PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER_ARB) or in write mode (GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER_ARB). Enabling the buffer into write mode will force the driver to write data from bounded textures into that buffer (i.e. glGetTexImage). Using buffer in read mode give you the possibility to read data from the buffer into a texture with e.g. glTexSubImage or other instuctions. Hence no data is copied over the CPU (host memory), all the operations are done in the GPU memory.
--------------------------------------------
Compatibility:
The new class require the unbindBuffer method from the base class BufferObject to be virtual, which shouldn't break any functionality of already existing classes. Except of this the new class is fully orthogonal to existing one, hence can be safely added into already existing osg system.
--------------------------------------------
Testing:
The new class was tested in the current svn version of osgPPU. I am using the new class to copy data from textures into the PBO and hence provide them to CUDA kernels. Also reading the results back from CUDA is implemented using the provided patch. The given patch gives a possibility of easy interoperability between CUDA and osg (osgPPU ;) )
--------------------------------------------
I think in general it is a better way to derive the PixelBufferObject class from PixelDataBufferObject, since the second one is a generalization of the first one. However this could break the current functionality, hence I haven't implemented it in such a way. However I would push that on a stack of wished osg 3.x features, since this will reflect the OpenGL PBO functionality through the classes better.
"
* When used PDS RenderStage::runCameraSetUp sets flag that FBO has already stencil,depth buffer attached. Prevents adding next depth buffer.
* Sets correct traits for p-buffer if used PDS and something goes wrong with FBO setup or p-buffer is used directly.
* Adds warning to camera if user add depth/stencil already attached through PDS.
* Sets blitMask when use blit to resolve buffer.
There is also new example with using multisampled FBO."
I have not reverted added Compiler options. I assume that one may want to have warnings enabled for the application but may not want to see them while OSG libraries and examples compile.
Modified files:
osg/Export - now explicitly includes osg/Config to make sure OSG_DISABLE_MSVC_WARNINGS is read
osg/Config.in - declares OSG_DISABLE_MSVC_WARNINGS flag to be added to autogenerated osg/Config
CMakeLists.txt - declares OSG_DISABLE_MSVC_WARNINGS as option with default ON setting
"
set to off. But could be activated/decativated via CMake as well as system
environment variable. I also modified src\osgViewer\CMakeLists.txt to turn
off this workaround by default as suggested."
