GraphicsPipeline
in Veldrid translates to four states in Metal (MTLRenderPipelineState
,MTLComputePipelineState
,MTLDepthStencilState
, andThreadsPerThreadgroup
). Multiple pipelines may be compiled to change certain states while keeping others as-is, this aims to cache all four states to re-use them for all pipelines where feasible and ultimately to reduce redundant bind calls which will come in #499.I've let disposal remove the caches mainly because the underlying device resources in the pipeline states are likely to be disposed themselves, so it's pointless to keep the cache existing.
