In order to make CommandQueueMT more maintainable this PR changes the
previous macro hell with variadic templates instead. This makes the
class far more explicit and will allow us to more easily change the way
the class functions in the future.
Furthermore this refactoring has allowed for some optimizations. In
particular by using std::forward to delay the decision of decaying the
type to as late as possible we are able to move the data from the
callsite into our Command buffer and later move it to the call.
In practice what this means is that compared to the old version instead
of copying values 3 times, we can now get away with 1 copy, and 1 move
for lvalues, and just 2 moves for rvalues. This saves quite a few
operations in a hot codepath.
We also now test to make sure that the amount of copies and moves are
what we expect. This way we can spot performance regressions in this
code easily.
Somewhat unscientifically, running TPS-demo by pressing enter and not
touching the controls average mspf, repeatable across many runs:
before: 6.467
after : 6.202
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
