Bind group entries #9694

robtfm · 2023-09-04T23:38:59Z

Objective

Simplify bind group creation code. alternative to (and based on) #9476

Solution

Add a BindGroupEntries struct that can transparently be used where &[BindGroupEntry<'b>] is required in BindGroupDescriptors.

Allows constructing the descriptor's entries as:

render_device.create_bind_group(
    "my_bind_group",
    &my_layout,
    &BindGroupEntries::with_indexes((
        (2, &my_sampler),
        (3, my_uniform),
    )),
);

instead of

render_device.create_bind_group(
    "my_bind_group",
    &my_layout,
    &[
        BindGroupEntry {
            binding: 2,
            resource: BindingResource::Sampler(&my_sampler),
        },
        BindGroupEntry {
            binding: 3,
            resource: my_uniform,
        },
    ],
);

or

render_device.create_bind_group(
    "my_bind_group",
    &my_layout,
    &BindGroupEntries::sequential((&my_sampler, my_uniform)),
);

instead of

render_device.create_bind_group(
    "my_bind_group",
    &my_layout,
    &[
        BindGroupEntry {
            binding: 0,
            resource: BindingResource::Sampler(&my_sampler),
        },
        BindGroupEntry {
            binding: 1,
            resource: my_uniform,
        },
    ],
);

the structs has no user facing macros, is tuple-type-based so stack allocated, and has no noticeable impact on compile time.

Also adds a DynamicBindGroupEntries struct with a similar api that uses a Vec under the hood and allows extending the entries.
Modifies RenderDevice::create_bind_group to take separate arguments label, layout and entries instead of a BindGroupDescriptor struct. The struct can't be stored due to the internal references, and with only 3 members arguably does not add enough context to justify itself.
Modify the codebase to use the new api and the BindGroupEntries / DynamicBindGroupEntries structs where appropriate (whenever the entries slice contains more than 1 member).

Migration Guide

Calls to RenderDevice::create_bind_group({BindGroupDescriptor { label, layout, entries }) must be amended to RenderDevice::create_bind_group(label, layout, entries).
If labels have been specified as "bind_group_name".into(), they need to change to just "bind_group_name". Some("bind_group_name") and None will still work, but Some("bind_group_name") can optionally be simplified to just "bind_group_name".

Alright, I went over everything it looks really good. The diffs are so nice to look at!

LGTM

It makes sense to not change this in this PR but the pattern used here and the rest of the file will be easy to remove in a future PR.

Oh, I reviewed before the IntoLabel but that's really nice to see too!

I think you can remove the .as_slice() from the PR description

Not sure what went wrong with the ci, I tried on my repo and it’s green. I also don’t know how to rerun it any more (rip bors)

IceSentry · 2023-09-05T22:12:17Z

Yeah, build works fine on my side too. Must be a CI issue, I think only maintainers are allowed to force rerun CI. Alternatively you could push a new commit

superdump

Approving but do not merge until after #9258 is merged. I don't want to disrupt that large PR.

I've been using this in a codebase that uses UniformBuffer<T>. I added this impl to make it work for me.

impl<'a, T: ShaderType + WriteInto> IntoBinding<'a> for &'a UniformBuffer<T> {
    #[inline]
    fn into_binding(self) -> BindingResource<'a> {
        BindingResource::Buffer(
            self.buffer()
                .expect("Failed to get buffer")
                .as_entire_buffer_binding(),
        )
    }
}

We could also add this so it can work with any buffer binding

impl<'a> IntoBinding<'a> for BufferBinding<'a> {
    #[inline]
    fn into_binding(self) -> BindingResource<'a> {
        BindingResource::Buffer(self)
    }
}

I also have used this one for DynamicUniformBuffer but the the ShaderType bound could be a bit annoying

impl<'a, T: ShaderType + WriteInto> IntoBinding<'a> for &'a DynamicUniformBuffer<T> 
{ 
    #[inline] 
    fn into_binding(self) -> BindingResource<'a> { 
        BindingResource::Buffer(BufferBinding { 
            buffer: self.buffer().expect("Failed to get buffer"), 
            offset: 0, 
            size: Some(T::min_size()), 
        }) 
    } 
}

I added your impl for UniformBuffer and wgpu::BufferBinding, thanks!

I also have used this one for DynamicUniformBuffer

this one was already in the PR though

IceSentry · 2023-10-17T22:56:24Z

this one was already in the PR though

Ah, right, sorry, it was in uniform_buffer.rs. When using it I just copied the bind_group_entries.rs module so I missed that one.

+            bindgroup: render_device.create_bind_group(
+                "LineGizmoUniform bindgroup",
+                &line_gizmo_uniform_layout.layout,
+                &[BindGroupEntry {


With the UniformBuffer/BufferBinding impl you should be able to use it here too now I think?

i didn't use it anywhere there was only 1 entry, it doesn't really save any typing. i guess i could for consistency though?

Right, makes sense then. I'll personally use it everywhere in my own code but I think it's fine as is.

it ends up looking like &BindGroupEntries::sequential((binding,)), which is a bit weird...

Oof, yeah, nevermind then 😅

there's actually quite a few single-entry bindings at zero over the codebase ... i'll try adding a BindGroupEntries::single method.

added, i think it's nice

Here's another impl that could be useful to have

impl<'a> IntoBinding<'a> for &'a CachedTexture {
    #[inline]
    fn into_binding(self) -> BindingResource<'a> {
        BindingResource::TextureView(&self.default_view)
    }
}

I needed that because ViewPrepassTextures holds Option<CachedTexture> and I wanted to create a bind group with them.

I wanted to suggest an impl that unwraps for Options but I think it makes sense to do unwrapping at the callsites.

# Objective Simplify bind group creation code. alternative to (and based on) bevyengine#9476 ## Solution - Add a `BindGroupEntries` struct that can transparently be used where `&[BindGroupEntry<'b>]` is required in BindGroupDescriptors. Allows constructing the descriptor's entries as: ```rust render_device.create_bind_group( "my_bind_group", &my_layout, &BindGroupEntries::with_indexes(( (2, &my_sampler), (3, my_uniform), )), ); ``` instead of ```rust render_device.create_bind_group( "my_bind_group", &my_layout, &[ BindGroupEntry { binding: 2, resource: BindingResource::Sampler(&my_sampler), }, BindGroupEntry { binding: 3, resource: my_uniform, }, ], ); ``` or ```rust render_device.create_bind_group( "my_bind_group", &my_layout, &BindGroupEntries::sequential((&my_sampler, my_uniform)), ); ``` instead of ```rust render_device.create_bind_group( "my_bind_group", &my_layout, &[ BindGroupEntry { binding: 0, resource: BindingResource::Sampler(&my_sampler), }, BindGroupEntry { binding: 1, resource: my_uniform, }, ], ); ``` the structs has no user facing macros, is tuple-type-based so stack allocated, and has no noticeable impact on compile time. - Also adds a `DynamicBindGroupEntries` struct with a similar api that uses a `Vec` under the hood and allows extending the entries. - Modifies `RenderDevice::create_bind_group` to take separate arguments `label`, `layout` and `entries` instead of a `BindGroupDescriptor` struct.

# Objective - Follow up to #9694 ## Solution - Same api as #9694 but adapted for `BindGroupLayoutEntry` - Use the same `ShaderStages` visibilty for all entries by default - Add `BindingType` helper function that mirror the wgsl equivalent and that make writing layouts much simpler. Before: ```rust let layout = render_device.create_bind_group_layout(&BindGroupLayoutDescriptor { label: Some("post_process_bind_group_layout"), entries: &[ BindGroupLayoutEntry { binding: 0, visibility: ShaderStages::FRAGMENT, ty: BindingType::Texture { sample_type: TextureSampleType::Float { filterable: true }, view_dimension: TextureViewDimension::D2, multisampled: false, }, count: None, }, BindGroupLayoutEntry { binding: 1, visibility: ShaderStages::FRAGMENT, ty: BindingType::Sampler(SamplerBindingType::Filtering), count: None, }, BindGroupLayoutEntry { binding: 2, visibility: ShaderStages::FRAGMENT, ty: BindingType::Buffer { ty: bevy::render::render_resource::BufferBindingType::Uniform, has_dynamic_offset: false, min_binding_size: Some(PostProcessSettings::min_size()), }, count: None, }, ], }); ``` After: ```rust let layout = render_device.create_bind_group_layout( "post_process_bind_group_layout"), &BindGroupLayoutEntries::sequential( ShaderStages::FRAGMENT, ( texture_2d_f32(), sampler(SamplerBindingType::Filtering), uniform_buffer(false, Some(PostProcessSettings::min_size())), ), ), ); ``` Here's a more extreme example in bevy_solari: JMS55@86dab7f --- ## Changelog - Added `BindGroupLayoutEntries` and all `BindingType` helper functions. ## Migration Guide `RenderDevice::create_bind_group_layout()` doesn't take a `BindGroupLayoutDescriptor` anymore. You need to provide the parameters separately ```rust // 0.12 let layout = render_device.create_bind_group_layout(&BindGroupLayoutDescriptor { label: Some("post_process_bind_group_layout"), entries: &[ BindGroupLayoutEntry { // ... }, ], }); // 0.13 let layout = render_device.create_bind_group_layout( "post_process_bind_group_layout", &[ BindGroupLayoutEntry { // ... }, ], ); ``` ## TODO - [x] implement a `Dynamic` variant - [x] update the `RenderDevice::create_bind_group_layout()` api to match the one from `RenderDevice::creat_bind_group()` - [x] docs
