Use ThreadWorkPool to process physics step tasks in multiple threads. Collisions are all processed in parallel and solving impulses is
processed in parallel for rigid body islands.
Additional changes:
- Proper islands for soft bodies linked to active bodies
- All moving areas are on separate islands (can be parallelized)
- Fix inconsistencies with body islands (Kinematic bodies could link
bodies together or not depending on the processing order)
- Completely prevent static bodies to be active (it could cause islands
to be wrongly created and cause dangerous multi-threading operations as
well as inconsistencies in created islands)
- Apply impulses only on dynamic bodies to avoid unsafe multi-threaded
operations (static bodies can be on multiple islands)
- Removed inverted iterations when populating body islands, it's now
faster in regular order (maybe after fixing inconsistencies)
Joint3DSW instances are also destroyed without explicitly calling free()
for example when changing constrainted bodies at runtime using
set_node method.
-Rendering server now uses a split RID allocate/initialize internally, this allows generating RIDs immediately but initialization to happen later on the proper thread (as rendering APIs generally requiere to call on the right thread).
-RenderingServerWrapMT is no more, multithreading is done in RenderingServerDefault.
-Some functions like texture or mesh creation, when renderer supports it, can register and return immediately (so no waiting for server API to flush, and saving staging and command buffer memory).
-3D physics server changed to be made multithread friendly.
-Added PhysicsServer3DWrapMT to use 3D physics server from multiple threads.
-Disablet Bullet (too much effort to make multithread friendly, this needs to be fixed eventually).
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
Which means that reduz' beloved style which we all became used to
will now be changed automatically to remove the first empty line.
This makes us lean closer to 1TBS (the one true brace style) instead
of hybridating it with some Allman-inspired spacing.
There's still the case of braces around single-statement blocks that
needs to be addressed (but clang-format can't help with that, but
clang-tidy may if we agree about it).
Part of #33027.
