2021-07-30doc: Use self-closing tags for `return` and `argument`RĂ©mi Verschelde
For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring having all details in the method's description. Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.
2021-07-26Implement Binary Shader Compilationreduz
* Added an extra stage before compiling shader, which is generating a binary blob. * On Vulkan, this allows caching the SPIRV reflection information, which is expensive to parse. * On other (future) RenderingDevices, it allows caching converted binary data, such as DXIL or MSL. This PR makes the shader cache include the reflection information, hence editor startup times are significantly improved. I tested this well and it appears to work, and I added a lot of consistency checks, but because it includes writing and reading binary information, rare bugs may pop up, so be aware. There was not much of a choice for storing the reflection information, given shaders can be a lot, take a lot of space and take time to parse.
