Update to wgpu-rs 0.8

[klashenriksson]

Hello!

wgpu-rs 0.8 was just released and had some minor changes to structure names and parameters. I have a fork ready which is updated to use wgpu 0.8, should I do a PR of that to bring this up to 0.8? :)

update: I spoke too soon. There's a runtime crash with error message that index buffers must be multiple of 4, which seems a bit weird... Crash occurs when uploading index buffers:

        for draw_list in draw_data.draw_lists() {
            self.vertex_buffers
                .push(self.upload_vertex_buffer(device, draw_list.vtx_buffer()));
            self.index_buffers
                .push(self.upload_index_buffer(device, draw_list.idx_buffer()));
        }

starting at line 498 in lib.rs

Any update? Did you manage to get it working? I might take a look if you didn't :-)

@Uriopass maybe you can look at #52 (comment) which still at least has the 4 byte issue

[klashenriksson]

Hi @Uriopass ! I did get it working, however the fix is certainly not the most effective one, but works fine for my cases atm. Upon index upload I just convert the indices to u32's instead of u16's.

Have a look at https://github.com/klashenriksson/imgui-wgpu-rs/commits/wgpu-v0.8 (and klashenriksson@3c01713 for the alignment fix). I dont really have the bandwidth to do a proper fix for this atm but maybe my code can help get you started :)

[Uriopass]

Found the issue upstream, buffer initialization was not done properly when providing unaligned data :-)

[klashenriksson]

Nice! Good find :)

[benmkw]

@Uriopass nice, it still seems to be an issue that TriangleList can not be used with u16 indices though?

I get [0.094421 ERROR]()(no module): Unexpected varying type: Array { base: [1], size: Constant([5]), stride: 4 } when using u32 as the index format (which is wrong as far as I can see) although rendering works, I'm not sure why though 😄 when I change it to u16 I get strip index format was not set to None but to Some(Uint16) while using the non-strip topology TriangleList

I'm pretty sure imgui uses a TriangleList topology :) you should keep the
PrimitiveTopology::TriangleList
and keep strip_index_format to None.

I do get the error "0.094421 ERROR(no module): Unexpected varying type: Array { base: [1], size: Constant([5]), stride: 4 }" however I think that might just be a naga problem and it works for me it's not critical.

[benmkw]

you should keep the PrimitiveTopology::TriangleList

yes thats what I figured as well but when you look at upload_index_buffer and DrawIdx you can see that its u16 so it may only work by luck ...

keep strip_index_format to None

this makes the indices be u32

[Uriopass]

this makes the indices be u32

No it doesn't, the indices format is determined at the set_index_buffer time in the renderpass.
https://docs.rs/wgpu/0.8.1/wgpu/struct.RenderPass.html#method.set_index_buffer

the strip_index_format should only be specified when in TriangleStrip mode, thus why you get the error.

ah right somehow mixed None and Default in my mind and did not know enough about the API, thanks for the explanation 👍
