Although 2D draws in painters order with strict ordering, in certain circumstances items can be reordered to increase batching / decrease state changes, without affecting the end result. This can be determined by an overlap test.
In situation with item:
A-B-A
providing the third item does not overlap the second, they can be reordered:
A-A-B
Items already contain an AABB which can be used for this overlap test.
1)
To utilise this, I have implemented item reordering (only for single rects for now), with the lookahead adjustable in project settings. This can increase performance in situations where items may not be grouped in the scene tree by texture. It can also be switched off (by setting lookahead to 0).
2)
This same trick can be used to help join items that are lit. Lit items previously would prevent joining completely, thus missing out on performance gains other than multi-command items such as tilemaps.
In this PR, lights are assigned as bits in a bitfield (up to 64, the optimization is disabled above this), and on each try_item (for joining), the bitfield for lights and shadows is constructed and compared with the previous items. If these match the 2 items can potentially be joined. However, this can only be done without changing the rendered result if an overlap test is successful.
This overlap test can be adjusted to join items up to a specific number of item references, selectable in project settings, or turned off.
3)
The legacy uniform single rect drawing routine seems to have been identified as the source of flicker, particularly on nvidia. However, it can also be up to 2x as fast. Because of the speed the batching contains a fallback where it can use the legacy single rect method, but I have now added a project setting to make this switchable. In most cases with batching it should not be necessary (as single rects are drawn less frequently) and thus the flickering can be totally avoided.
4)
This PR also fixes a color modulate bug when drawing light passes, in certain situations (particularly custom _draw routines with multiple rects).
5)
This PR also fixes#38291, a bug in the legacy renderer where light passes could draw rects in wrong position.
- Resurrect it for GL ES 2
- Apply roll over with `fmod()` instead of resetting it to 0
- Expose the setting from the `VisualServer`, since it does not belong in any specific rasterizer
This fixes numerous false positives coming out of the culling system.
AABB checks are now a full separating-axis check against the frustum, with the points of the frustum being compared to the planes of the box just as the points of the box were being compared to the planes of the frustum. This fixes large objects behind the camera not being culled correctly.
Some systems that used frustums that were (sometimes mistakenly?) unbounded on one or more side have been modified to be fully enclosed.
Dual paraboloid shadowmaps were ending up with infinitely large volumes of area behind the hemisphere un-culled.
This change just adds a back plane to the convex shape used for the culling volume.
This moves the instance id member from Variant to the ObjectRC so that Variant is still the same size as before the fix (and also regardless if debug or release build).
The previous logic used the 'tools' directory within the Android sdk to validate it. That directory was recently deprecated and removed from the Android sdk folder (https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/sdk-tools)

This was a regression from 93d7ec8836 (#38110).
Mono's old implementation of Microsoft.Build hardcodes HasUnsavedChanges to
always return true.
This workaround can be reverted once we switch to official Microsoft.Build.
(cherry picked from commit 81f13f6171)
This references Godot's winding order at the top of every
procedural geometry class, as well as referencing other classes
within a given geometry class.
A warning about ImmediateGeometry3D performance was also added.
(cherry picked from commit ed7347d73d)
Now calling _reduce_node_type with debugging enabled to determine
if assert line is safe. Part of doing this required the assert line
to be stored away. Now the AssertNode line is being correctly set.
Newlines are now marked safe always
(cherry picked from commit 8dc8833782)
This should make headless exporting work in projects using textures
in any format.
Error messages should no longer appear when running a project
that used image formats that were previously not present in the list.
(cherry picked from commit 3007c7e2a3)
When reading SCREEN_TEXTURE in a shader, this previously only worked succesfully for the first read of the screen, because state.canvas_texscreen_used was never getting reset. This PR resets state.canvas_texscreen_used at the beginning of each joined item, so that further screen reads can happen.
This commit addresses multiple issues with `Variant`s that point to an `Object`
which is later released, when it's tried to be accessed again.
Formerly, **while running on the debugger the system would check if the instance id was
still valid** to print warnings or return special values. Some cases weren't being
warned about whatsoever.
Also, a newly allocated `Object` could happen to be allocated at the same memory
address of an old one, making cases of use hard to find and having **`Variant`s pointing
to the old one magically reassigned to the new**.
This commit makes the engine realize all these situations **under debugging**
so you can detect and fix them. Running without a debugger attached will still
behave as it always did.
Also the warning messages have been extended and made clearer.
All that said, in the name of performance there's still one possible case of undefined
behavior: in multithreaded scripts there would be a race condition between a thread freeing
an `Object` and another one trying to operate on it. The latter may not realize the
`Object` has been freed soon enough. But that's a case of bad scripting that was never
supported anyway.
