It looks like SharedStateManager is appropriate for what I'm doing,
but it doesn't seem to be quite as flexible as I'd like. With the
wide variety of modelers, exporters, and loaders, I can't always be
assured that the DataVariance on StateSets and Textures will be
static. This is currently a requirement for sharing, though.
The current share modes are
enum ShareMode
{
SHARE_NONE = 0x00,
SHARE_TEXTURES = 0x01,
SHARE_STATESETS = 0x02,
SHARE_ALL = SHARE_TEXTURES |
SHARE_STATESETS
};
Would it be too weird to append these modes like so?
enum ShareMode
{
SHARE_NONE = 0x00,
SHARE_TEXTURES = 0x01,
SHARE_STATESETS = 0x02,
SHARE_ALL = SHARE_TEXTURES |
SHARE_STATESETS,
SHARE_TEXTURES_DYNAMIC = 0x04,
SHARE_TEXTURES_UNSPECIFIED = 0x08,
SHARE_STATESETS_DYNAMIC = 0x10,
SHARE_STATESETS_UNSPECIFIED = 0x20
};
I've already tried it with textures and it helps out a lot when you
can't easily control what's in your model files; I can submit it if
this looks good.
The only problem I see is that SHARE_ALL no longer makes much sense,
but changing it would break backward compatibility. And it would look
weird to have SHARE_ALL_NO_REALLY_SHARE_ALL.
