- renamed `spec_v2` related modules, that commit slipped through the
other pr #17373
- revised struct and trait docs for clarity, and gave a short intro to
specialization
- turns out the derive macro was broken, fixed that too
Currently, our specialization API works through a series of wrapper
structs and traits, which make things confusing to follow and difficult
to generalize.
This pr takes a different approach, where "specializers" (types that
implement `Specialize`) are composable, but "flat" rather than composed
of a series of wrappers. The key is that specializers don't *produce*
pipeline descriptors, but instead *modify* existing ones:
```rs
pub trait Specialize<T: Specializable> {
type Key: SpecializeKey;
fn specialize(
&self,
key: Self::Key,
descriptor: &mut T::Descriptor
) -> Result<Canonical<Self::Key>, BevyError>;
}
```
This lets us use some derive magic to stick multiple specializers
together:
```rs
pub struct A;
pub struct B;
impl Specialize<RenderPipeline> for A { ... }
impl Specialize<RenderPipeline> for A { ... }
#[derive(Specialize)]
#[specialize(RenderPipeline)]
struct C {
// specialization is applied in struct field order
applied_first: A,
applied_second: B,
}
type C::Key = (A::Key, B::Key);
```
This approach is much easier to understand, IMO, and also lets us
separate concerns better. Specializers can be placed in fully separate
crates/modules, and key computation can be shared as well.
The only real breaking change here is that since specializers only
modify descriptors, we need a "base" descriptor to work off of. This can
either be manually supplied when constructing a `Specializer` (the new
collection replacing `Specialized[Render/Compute]Pipelines`), or
supplied by implementing `HasBaseDescriptor` on a specializer. See
`examples/shader/custom_phase_item.rs` for an example implementation.
## Testing
- Did some simple manual testing of the derive macro, it seems robust.
---
## Showcase
```rs
#[derive(Specialize, HasBaseDescriptor)]
#[specialize(RenderPipeline)]
pub struct SpecializeMeshMaterial<M: Material> {
// set mesh bind group layout and shader defs
mesh: SpecializeMesh,
// set view bind group layout and shader defs
view: SpecializeView,
// since type SpecializeMaterial::Key = (),
// we can hide it from the wrapper's external API
#[key(default)]
// defer to the GetBaseDescriptor impl of SpecializeMaterial,
// since it carries the vertex and fragment handles
#[base_descriptor]
// set material bind group layout, etc
material: SpecializeMaterial<M>,
}
// implementation generated by the derive macro
impl <M: Material> Specialize<RenderPipeline> for SpecializeMeshMaterial<M> {
type Key = (MeshKey, ViewKey);
fn specialize(
&self,
key: Self::Key,
descriptor: &mut RenderPipelineDescriptor
) -> Result<Canonical<Self::Key>, BevyError> {
let mesh_key = self.mesh.specialize(key.0, descriptor)?;
let view_key = self.view.specialize(key.1, descriptor)?;
let _ = self.material.specialize((), descriptor)?;
Ok((mesh_key, view_key));
}
}
impl <M: Material> HasBaseDescriptor<RenderPipeline> for SpecializeMeshMaterial<M> {
fn base_descriptor(&self) -> RenderPipelineDescriptor {
self.material.base_descriptor()
}
}

# Objective
Closes#18075
In order to enable a number of patterns for dynamic materials in the
engine, it's necessary to decouple the renderer from the `Material`
trait.
This opens the possibility for:
- Materials that aren't coupled to `AsBindGroup`.
- 2d using the underlying 3d bindless infrastructure.
- Dynamic materials that can change their layout at runtime.
- Materials that aren't even backed by a Rust struct at all.
## Solution
In short, remove all trait bounds from render world material systems and
resources. This means moving a bunch of stuff onto `MaterialProperties`
and engaging in some hacks to make specialization work. Rather than
storing the bind group data in `MaterialBindGroupAllocator`, right now
we're storing it in a closure on `MaterialProperties`. TBD if this has
bad performance characteristics.
## Benchmarks
- `many_cubes`:
`cargo run --example many_cubes --release --features=bevy/trace_tracy --
--vary-material-data-per-instance`:

- @DGriffin91's Caldera
`cargo run --release --features=bevy/trace_tracy -- --random-materials`

- @DGriffin91's Caldera with 20 unique material types (i.e.
`MaterialPlugin<M>`) and random materials per mesh
`cargo run --release --features=bevy/trace_tracy -- --random-materials`

### TODO
- We almost certainly lost some parallelization from removing the type
params that could be gained back from smarter iteration.
- Test all the things that could have broken.
- ~Fix meshlets~
## Showcase
See [the
example](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/19667/files#diff-9d768cfe1c3aa81eff365d250d3cbe5a63e8df63e81dd85f64c3c3cd993f6d94)
for a custom material implemented without the use of the `Material`
trait and thus `AsBindGroup`.

# Objective
Upgrade to `wgpu` version `25.0`.
Depends on https://github.com/bevyengine/naga_oil/pull/121
## Solution
### Problem
The biggest issue we face upgrading is the following requirement:
> To facilitate this change, there was an additional validation rule put
in place: if there is a binding array in a bind group, you may not use
dynamic offset buffers or uniform buffers in that bind group. This
requirement comes from vulkan rules on UpdateAfterBind descriptors.
This is a major difficulty for us, as there are a number of binding
arrays that are used in the view bind group. Note, this requirement does
not affect merely uniform buffors that use dynamic offset but the use of
*any* uniform in a bind group that also has a binding array.
### Attempted fixes
The easiest fix would be to change uniforms to be storage buffers
whenever binding arrays are in use:
```wgsl
#ifdef BINDING_ARRAYS_ARE_USED
@group(0) @binding(0) var<uniform> view: View;
@group(0) @binding(1) var<uniform> lights: types::Lights;
#else
@group(0) @binding(0) var<storage> view: array<View>;
@group(0) @binding(1) var<storage> lights: array<types::Lights>;
#endif
```
This requires passing the view index to the shader so that we know where
to index into the buffer:
```wgsl
struct PushConstants {
view_index: u32,
}
var<push_constant> push_constants: PushConstants;
```
Using push constants is no problem because binding arrays are only
usable on native anyway.
However, this greatly complicates the ability to access `view` in
shaders. For example:
```wgsl
#ifdef BINDING_ARRAYS_ARE_USED
mesh_view_bindings::view.view_from_world[0].z
#else
mesh_view_bindings::view[mesh_view_bindings::view_index].view_from_world[0].z
#endif
```
Using this approach would work but would have the effect of polluting
our shaders with ifdef spam basically *everywhere*.
Why not use a function? Unfortunately, the following is not valid wgsl
as it returns a binding directly from a function in the uniform path.
```wgsl
fn get_view() -> View {
#if BINDING_ARRAYS_ARE_USED
let view_index = push_constants.view_index;
let view = views[view_index];
#endif
return view;
}
```
This also poses problems for things like lights where we want to return
a ptr to the light data. Returning ptrs from wgsl functions isn't
allowed even if both bindings were buffers.
The next attempt was to simply use indexed buffers everywhere, in both
the binding array and non binding array path. This would be viable if
push constants were available everywhere to pass the view index, but
unfortunately they are not available on webgpu. This means either
passing the view index in a storage buffer (not ideal for such a small
amount of state) or using push constants sometimes and uniform buffers
only on webgpu. However, this kind of conditional layout infects
absolutely everything.
Even if we were to accept just using storage buffer for the view index,
there's also the additional problem that some dynamic offsets aren't
actually per-view but per-use of a setting on a camera, which would
require passing that uniform data on *every* camera regardless of
whether that rendering feature is being used, which is also gross.
As such, although it's gross, the simplest solution just to bump binding
arrays into `@group(1)` and all other bindings up one bind group. This
should still bring us under the device limit of 4 for most users.
### Next steps / looking towards the future
I'd like to avoid needing split our view bind group into multiple parts.
In the future, if `wgpu` were to add `@builtin(draw_index)`, we could
build a list of draw state in gpu processing and avoid the need for any
kind of state change at all (see
https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/issues/6823). This would also provide
significantly more flexibility to handle things like offsets into other
arrays that may not be per-view.
### Testing
Tested a number of examples, there are probably more that are still
broken.

# Objective
Improve the performance of `FilteredEntity(Ref|Mut)` and
`Entity(Ref|Mut)Except`.
`FilteredEntityRef` needs an `Access<ComponentId>` to determine what
components it can access. There is one stored in the query state, but
query items cannot borrow from the state, so it has to `clone()` the
access for each row. Cloning the access involves memory allocations and
can be expensive.
## Solution
Let query items borrow from their query state.
Add an `'s` lifetime to `WorldQuery::Item` and `WorldQuery::Fetch`,
similar to the one in `SystemParam`, and provide `&'s Self::State` to
the fetch so that it can borrow from the state.
Unfortunately, there are a few cases where we currently return query
items from temporary query states: the sorted iteration methods create a
temporary state to query the sort keys, and the
`EntityRef::components<Q>()` methods create a temporary state for their
query.
To allow these to continue to work with most `QueryData`
implementations, introduce a new subtrait `ReleaseStateQueryData` that
converts a `QueryItem<'w, 's>` to `QueryItem<'w, 'static>`, and is
implemented for everything except `FilteredEntity(Ref|Mut)` and
`Entity(Ref|Mut)Except`.
`#[derive(QueryData)]` will generate `ReleaseStateQueryData`
implementations that apply when all of the subqueries implement
`ReleaseStateQueryData`.
This PR does not actually change the implementation of
`FilteredEntity(Ref|Mut)` or `Entity(Ref|Mut)Except`! That will be done
as a follow-up PR so that the changes are easier to review. I have
pushed the changes as chescock/bevy#5.
## Testing
I ran performance traces of many_foxes, both against main and against
chescock/bevy#5, both including #15282. These changes do appear to make
generalized animation a bit faster:
(Red is main, yellow is chescock/bevy#5)

## Migration Guide
The `WorldQuery::Item` and `WorldQuery::Fetch` associated types and the
`QueryItem` and `ROQueryItem` type aliases now have an additional
lifetime parameter corresponding to the `'s` lifetime in `Query`. Manual
implementations of `WorldQuery` will need to update the method
signatures to include the new lifetimes. Other uses of the types will
need to be updated to include a lifetime parameter, although it can
usually be passed as `'_`. In particular, `ROQueryItem` is used when
implementing `RenderCommand`.
Before:
```rust
fn render<'w>(
item: &P,
view: ROQueryItem<'w, Self::ViewQuery>,
entity: Option<ROQueryItem<'w, Self::ItemQuery>>,
param: SystemParamItem<'w, '_, Self::Param>,
pass: &mut TrackedRenderPass<'w>,
) -> RenderCommandResult;
```
After:
```rust
fn render<'w>(
item: &P,
view: ROQueryItem<'w, '_, Self::ViewQuery>,
entity: Option<ROQueryItem<'w, '_, Self::ItemQuery>>,
param: SystemParamItem<'w, '_, Self::Param>,
pass: &mut TrackedRenderPass<'w>,
) -> RenderCommandResult;
```
---
Methods on `QueryState` that take `&mut self` may now result in
conflicting borrows if the query items capture the lifetime of the
mutable reference. This affects `get()`, `iter()`, and others. To fix
the errors, first call `QueryState::update_archetypes()`, and then
replace a call `state.foo(world, param)` with
`state.query_manual(world).foo_inner(param)`. Alternately, you may be
able to restructure the code to call `state.query(world)` once and then
make multiple calls using the `Query`.
Before:
```rust
let mut state: QueryState<_, _> = ...;
let d1 = state.get(world, e1);
let d2 = state.get(world, e2); // Error: cannot borrow `state` as mutable more than once at a time
println!("{d1:?}");
println!("{d2:?}");
```
After:
```rust
let mut state: QueryState<_, _> = ...;
state.update_archetypes(world);
let d1 = state.get_manual(world, e1);
let d2 = state.get_manual(world, e2);
// OR
state.update_archetypes(world);
let d1 = state.query(world).get_inner(e1);
let d2 = state.query(world).get_inner(e2);
// OR
let query = state.query(world);
let d1 = query.get_inner(e1);
let d1 = query.get_inner(e2);
println!("{d1:?}");
println!("{d2:?}");
```
Hiya!
# Objective
- Remove upcasting methods that are no longer necessary since Rust 1.86.
- Cleanup the interned label code.
## Notes
- I didn't try to remove the upcasting methods from `bevy_reflect`, as
there appears to be some complexity related to remote type reflection.
- There are likely some other upcasting methods floating around.
## Testing
I ran the `breakout` example to check that the hashing/eq
implementations of the labels are still correct.

PR #17898 disabled bindless support for `ExtendedMaterial`. This commit
adds it back. It also adds a new example, `extended_material_bindless`,
showing how to use it.
PR #17965 mistakenly made the `AsBindGroup` macro no longer emit a bind
group layout entry and a resource descriptor for buffers. This commit
adds that functionality back, fixing the `shader_material_bindless`
example.
Closes#18124.
Currently, the structure-level `#[uniform]` attribute of `AsBindGroup`
creates a binding array of individual buffers, each of which contains
data for a single material. A more efficient approach would be to
provide a single buffer with an array containing all of the data for all
materials in the bind group. Because `StandardMaterial` uses
`#[uniform]`, this can be notably inefficient with large numbers of
materials.
This patch introduces a new attribute on `AsBindGroup`, `#[data]`, which
works identically to `#[uniform]` except that it concatenates all the
data into a single buffer that the material bind group allocator itself
manages. It also converts `StandardMaterial` to use this new
functionality. This effectively provides the "material data in arrays"
feature.
Currently, Bevy's implementation of bindless resources is rather
unusual: every binding in an object that implements `AsBindGroup` (most
commonly, a material) becomes its own separate binding array in the
shader. This is inefficient for two reasons:
1. If multiple materials reference the same texture or other resource,
the reference to that resource will be duplicated many times. This
increases `wgpu` validation overhead.
2. It creates many unused binding array slots. This increases `wgpu` and
driver overhead and makes it easier to hit limits on APIs that `wgpu`
currently imposes tight resource limits on, like Metal.
This PR fixes these issues by switching Bevy to use the standard
approach in GPU-driven renderers, in which resources are de-duplicated
and passed as global arrays, one for each type of resource.
Along the way, this patch introduces per-platform resource limits and
bumps them from 16 resources per binding array to 64 resources per bind
group on Metal and 2048 resources per bind group on other platforms.
(Note that the number of resources per *binding array* isn't the same as
the number of resources per *bind group*; as it currently stands, if all
the PBR features are turned on, Bevy could pack as many as 496 resources
into a single slab.) The limits have been increased because `wgpu` now
has universal support for partially-bound binding arrays, which mean
that we no longer need to fill the binding arrays with fallback
resources on Direct3D 12. The `#[bindless(LIMIT)]` declaration when
deriving `AsBindGroup` can now simply be written `#[bindless]` in order
to have Bevy choose a default limit size for the current platform.
Custom limits are still available with the new
`#[bindless(limit(LIMIT))]` syntax: e.g. `#[bindless(limit(8))]`.
The material bind group allocator has been completely rewritten. Now
there are two allocators: one for bindless materials and one for
non-bindless materials. The new non-bindless material allocator simply
maintains a 1:1 mapping from material to bind group. The new bindless
material allocator maintains a list of slabs and allocates materials
into slabs on a first-fit basis. This unfortunately makes its
performance O(number of resources per object * number of slabs), but the
number of slabs is likely to be low, and it's planned to become even
lower in the future with `wgpu` improvements. Resources are
de-duplicated with in a slab and reference counted. So, for instance, if
multiple materials refer to the same texture, that texture will exist
only once in the appropriate binding array.
To support these new features, this patch adds the concept of a
*bindless descriptor* to the `AsBindGroup` trait. The bindless
descriptor allows the material bind group allocator to probe the layout
of the material, now that an array of `BindGroupLayoutEntry` records is
insufficient to describe the group. The `#[derive(AsBindGroup)]` has
been heavily modified to support the new features. The most important
user-facing change to that macro is that the struct-level `uniform`
attribute, `#[uniform(BINDING_NUMBER, StandardMaterial)]`, now reads
`#[uniform(BINDLESS_INDEX, MATERIAL_UNIFORM_TYPE,
binding_array(BINDING_NUMBER)]`, allowing the material to specify the
binding number for the binding array that holds the uniform data.
To make this patch simpler, I removed support for bindless
`ExtendedMaterial`s, as well as field-level bindless uniform and storage
buffers. I intend to add back support for these as a follow-up. Because
they aren't in any released Bevy version yet, I figured this was OK.
Finally, this patch updates `StandardMaterial` for the new bindless
changes. Generally, code throughout the PBR shaders that looked like
`base_color_texture[slot]` now looks like
`bindless_2d_textures[material_indices[slot].base_color_texture]`.
This patch fixes a system hang that I experienced on the [Caldera test]
when running with `caldera --random-materials --texture-count 100`. The
time per frame is around 19.75 ms, down from 154.2 ms in Bevy 0.14: a
7.8× speedup.

This pr uses the `extern crate self as` trick to make proc macros behave
the same way inside and outside bevy.
# Objective
- Removes noise introduced by `crate as` in the whole bevy repo.
- Fixes#17004.
- Hardens proc macro path resolution.
## TODO
- [x] `BevyManifest` needs cleanup.
- [x] Cleanup remaining `crate as`.
- [x] Add proper integration tests to the ci.
## Notes
- `cargo-manifest-proc-macros` is written by me and based/inspired by
the old `BevyManifest` implementation and
[`bkchr/proc-macro-crate`](https://github.com/bkchr/proc-macro-crate).
- What do you think about the new integration test machinery I added to
the `ci`?
More and better integration tests can be added at a later stage.
The goal of these integration tests is to simulate an actual separate
crate that uses bevy. Ideally they would lightly touch all bevy crates.
## Testing
- Needs RA test
- Needs testing from other users
- Others need to run at least `cargo run -p ci integration-test` and
verify that they work.

Some hardware and driver combos, such as Intel Iris Xe, have low limits
on the numbers of samplers per shader, causing an overflow. With
first-class bindless arrays, `wgpu` should be able to work around this
limitation eventually, but for now we need to disable bindless materials
on those platforms.
This is an alternative to PR #17107 that calculates the precise number
of samplers needed and compares to the hardware sampler limit,
transparently falling back to non-bindless if the limit is exceeded.
Fixes#16988.
# Objective
- Wgpu barrier tracking is expensive. Making buffers read-only makes
ideally lets wgpu skip worrying about barriers, although in wgpu 23 it
apparently won't yet.
## Solution
- Remove COPY_DST usage from AsBindGroup uniform buffers to allow future
wgpu versions to make this cheaper.
- AsBindGroup never updates buffers, so there's no need for COPY_DST. We
always recreate all buffers and the bind group every time data changes,
which yeah is also expensive.
## Testing
- Ran the animated materials example with/without bindless enabled. No
crashes.
# Objective
We were waiting for 1.83 to address most of these, due to a bug with
`missing_docs` and `expect`. Relates to, but does not entirely complete,
#15059.
## Solution
- Upgrade to 1.83
- Switch `allow(missing_docs)` to `expect(missing_docs)`
- Remove a few now-unused `allow`s along the way, or convert to `expect`
I forgot to set `BINDLESS_SLOT_COUNT` in `ExtendedMaterial`'s
implementation of `AsBindGroup`, so it didn't actually become bindless.
In fact, it would usually crash with a shader/bind group layout
mismatch, because some parts of Bevy's renderer thought that the
resulting material was bindless while other parts didn't. This commit
corrects the situation.
I had to make `BINDLESS_SLOT_COUNT` a function instead of a constant
because the `ExtendedMaterial` version needs some logic. Unfortunately,
trait methods can't be `const fn`s, so it has to be a runtime function.
# Objective
- Minor consistency improvement in proc macro code.
- Remove `get_path_direct` since it was only used once anyways and
doesn't add much.
## Solution
- Possibly a minor performance improvement since the `Cargo.toml` wont
be parsed as often.
## Testing
- I don't think it breaks anything.
- This is my first time working on bevy itself. Is there a script to do
a quick verify of my pr?
## Other PR
Similar to #7536 but has no extra dependencies.

This commit makes `StandardMaterial` use bindless textures, as
implemented in PR #16368. Non-bindless mode, as used for example in
Metal and WebGL 2, remains fully supported via a plethora of `#ifdef
BINDLESS` preprocessor definitions.
Unfortunately, this PR introduces quite a bit of unsightliness into the
PBR shaders. This is a result of the fact that WGSL supports neither
passing binding arrays to functions nor passing individual *elements* of
binding arrays to functions, except directly to texture sample
functions. Thus we're unable to use the `sample_texture` abstraction
that helped abstract over the meshlet and non-meshlet paths. I don't
think there's anything we can do to help this other than to suggest
improvements to upstream Naga.
This patch adds the infrastructure necessary for Bevy to support
*bindless resources*, by adding a new `#[bindless]` attribute to
`AsBindGroup`.
Classically, only a single texture (or sampler, or buffer) can be
attached to each shader binding. This means that switching materials
requires breaking a batch and issuing a new drawcall, even if the mesh
is otherwise identical. This adds significant overhead not only in the
driver but also in `wgpu`, as switching bind groups increases the amount
of validation work that `wgpu` must do.
*Bindless resources* are the typical solution to this problem. Instead
of switching bindings between each texture, the renderer instead
supplies a large *array* of all textures in the scene up front, and the
material contains an index into that array. This pattern is repeated for
buffers and samplers as well. The renderer now no longer needs to switch
binding descriptor sets while drawing the scene.
Unfortunately, as things currently stand, this approach won't quite work
for Bevy. Two aspects of `wgpu` conspire to make this ideal approach
unacceptably slow:
1. In the DX12 backend, all binding arrays (bindless resources) must
have a constant size declared in the shader, and all textures in an
array must be bound to actual textures. Changing the size requires a
recompile.
2. Changing even one texture incurs revalidation of all textures, a
process that takes time that's linear in the total size of the binding
array.
This means that declaring a large array of textures big enough to
encompass the entire scene is presently unacceptably slow. For example,
if you declare 4096 textures, then `wgpu` will have to revalidate all
4096 textures if even a single one changes. This process can take
multiple frames.
To work around this problem, this PR groups bindless resources into
small *slabs* and maintains a free list for each. The size of each slab
for the bindless arrays associated with a material is specified via the
`#[bindless(N)]` attribute. For instance, consider the following
declaration:
```rust
#[derive(AsBindGroup)]
#[bindless(16)]
struct MyMaterial {
#[buffer(0)]
color: Vec4,
#[texture(1)]
#[sampler(2)]
diffuse: Handle<Image>,
}
```
The `#[bindless(N)]` attribute specifies that, if bindless arrays are
supported on the current platform, each resource becomes a binding array
of N instances of that resource. So, for `MyMaterial` above, the `color`
attribute is exposed to the shader as `binding_array<vec4<f32>, 16>`,
the `diffuse` texture is exposed to the shader as
`binding_array<texture_2d<f32>, 16>`, and the `diffuse` sampler is
exposed to the shader as `binding_array<sampler, 16>`. Inside the
material's vertex and fragment shaders, the applicable index is
available via the `material_bind_group_slot` field of the `Mesh`
structure. So, for instance, you can access the current color like so:
```wgsl
// `uniform` binding arrays are a non-sequitur, so `uniform` is automatically promoted
// to `storage` in bindless mode.
@group(2) @binding(0) var<storage> material_color: binding_array<Color, 4>;
...
@fragment
fn fragment(in: VertexOutput) -> @location(0) vec4<f32> {
let color = material_color[mesh[in.instance_index].material_bind_group_slot];
...
}
```
Note that portable shader code can't guarantee that the current platform
supports bindless textures. Indeed, bindless mode is only available in
Vulkan and DX12. The `BINDLESS` shader definition is available for your
use to determine whether you're on a bindless platform or not. Thus a
portable version of the shader above would look like:
```wgsl
#ifdef BINDLESS
@group(2) @binding(0) var<storage> material_color: binding_array<Color, 4>;
#else // BINDLESS
@group(2) @binding(0) var<uniform> material_color: Color;
#endif // BINDLESS
...
@fragment
fn fragment(in: VertexOutput) -> @location(0) vec4<f32> {
#ifdef BINDLESS
let color = material_color[mesh[in.instance_index].material_bind_group_slot];
#else // BINDLESS
let color = material_color;
#endif // BINDLESS
...
}
```
Importantly, this PR *doesn't* update `StandardMaterial` to be bindless.
So, for example, `scene_viewer` will currently not run any faster. I
intend to update `StandardMaterial` to use bindless mode in a follow-up
patch.
A new example, `shaders/shader_material_bindless`, has been added to
demonstrate how to use this new feature.
Here's a Tracy profile of `submit_graph_commands` of this patch and an
additional patch (not submitted yet) that makes `StandardMaterial` use
bindless. Red is those patches; yellow is `main`. The scene was Bistro
Exterior with a hack that forces all textures to opaque. You can see a
1.47x mean speedup.

## Migration Guide
* `RenderAssets::prepare_asset` now takes an `AssetId` parameter.
* Bin keys now have Bevy-specific material bind group indices instead of
`wgpu` material bind group IDs, as part of the bindless change. Use the
new `MaterialBindGroupAllocator` to map from bind group index to bind
group ID.
# Objective
Fixes#15940
## Solution
Remove the `pub use` and fix the compile errors.
Make `bevy_image` available as `bevy::image`.
## Testing
Feature Frenzy would be good here! Maybe I'll learn how to use it if I
have some time this weekend, or maybe a reviewer can use it.

# Objective
> Rust 1.81 released the #[expect(...)] attribute, which works like
#[allow(...)] but throws a warning if the lint isn't raised. This is
preferred to #[allow(...)] because it tells us when it can be removed.
- Adopts the parts of #15118 that are complete, and updates the branch
so it can be merged.
- There were a few conflicts, let me know if I misjudged any of 'em.
Alice's

Kind of confused why this wasn't breaking for me pre-`0.15-dev` since
nothing obvious seems to have changed in `wgpu` upstream, but this fixes
it and ensures that we return the correct sample type re: the actual
device.
Adds a new `Handle<Storage>` asset type that can be used as a render
asset, particularly for use with `AsBindGroup`.
Closes: #13658
# Objective
Allow users to create storage buffers in the main world without having
to access the `RenderDevice`. While this resource is technically
available, it's bad form to use in the main world and requires mixing
rendering details with main world code. Additionally, this makes storage
buffers easier to use with `AsBindGroup`, particularly in the following
scenarios:
- Sharing the same buffers between a compute stage and material shader.
We already have examples of this for storage textures (see game of life
example) and these changes allow a similar pattern to be used with
storage buffers.
- Preventing repeated gpu upload (see the previous easier to use `Vec`
`AsBindGroup` option).
- Allow initializing custom materials using `Default`. Previously, the
lack of a `Default` implement for the raw `wgpu::Buffer` type made
implementing a `AsBindGroup + Default` bound difficult in the presence
of buffers.
## Solution
Adds a new `Handle<Storage>` asset type that is prepared into a
`GpuStorageBuffer` render asset. This asset can either be initialized
with a `Vec<u8>` of properly aligned data or with a size hint. Users can
modify the underlying `wgpu::BufferDescriptor` to provide additional
usage flags.
## Migration Guide
The `AsBindGroup` `storage` attribute has been modified to reference the
new `Handle<Storage>` asset instead. Usages of Vec` should be converted
into assets instead.

# Objective
Adding more features to `AsBindGroup` proc macro means making the trait
arguments uglier. Downstream implementors of the trait without the proc
macro might want to do different things than our default arguments.
## Solution
Make `AsBindGroup` take an associated `Param` type.
## Migration Guide
`AsBindGroup` now allows the user to specify a `SystemParam` to be used
for creating bind groups.
# Objective
currently if we use an image with the wrong sampler type in a material,
wgpu panics with an invalid texture format. turn this into a warning and
fail more gracefully.
## Solution
the expected sampler type is specified in the AsBindGroup derive, so we
can just check the image sampler is what it should be.
i am not totally sure about the mapping of image sampler type to
#[sampler(type)], i assumed:
```
"filtering" => [ TextureSampleType::Float { filterable: true } ],
"non_filtering" => [
TextureSampleType::Float { filterable: false },
TextureSampleType::Sint,
TextureSampleType::Uint,
],
"comparison" => [ TextureSampleType::Depth ],
```
# Objective
- Replace `RenderMaterials` / `RenderMaterials2d` / `RenderUiMaterials`
with `RenderAssets` to enable implementing changes to one thing,
`RenderAssets`, that applies to all use cases rather than duplicating
changes everywhere for multiple things that should be one thing.
- Adopts #8149
## Solution
- Make RenderAsset generic over the destination type rather than the
source type as in #8149
- Use `RenderAssets<PreparedMaterial<M>>` etc for render materials
---
## Changelog
- Changed:
- The `RenderAsset` trait is now implemented on the destination type.
Its `SourceAsset` associated type refers to the type of the source
asset.
- `RenderMaterials`, `RenderMaterials2d`, and `RenderUiMaterials` have
been replaced by `RenderAssets<PreparedMaterial<M>>` and similar.
## Migration Guide
- `RenderAsset` is now implemented for the destination type rather that
the source asset type. The source asset type is now the `RenderAsset`
trait's `SourceAsset` associated type.
# Objective
prevent gpu buffer allocations when running `as_bind_group` for assets
with texture dependencies that are not yet available.
## Solution
reorder the binding creation so that fallible items are created first.
# Objective
Currently the `missing_docs` lint is allowed-by-default and enabled at
crate level when their documentations is complete (see #3492).
This PR proposes to inverse this logic by making `missing_docs`
warn-by-default and mark crates with imcomplete docs allowed.
## Solution
Makes `missing_docs` warn at workspace level and allowed at crate level
when the docs is imcomplete.
# Objective
The whole `Cow<'static, str>` naming for nodes and subgraphs in
`RenderGraph` is a mess.
## Solution
Replaces hardcoded and potentially overlapping strings for nodes and
subgraphs inside `RenderGraph` with bevy's labelsystem.
---
## Changelog
* Two new labels: `RenderLabel` and `RenderSubGraph`.
* Replaced all uses for hardcoded strings with those labels
* Moved `Taa` label from its own mod to all the other `Labels3d`
* `add_render_graph_edges` now needs a tuple of labels
* Moved `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusion` label from its own mod with the
`ShadowPass` label to `LabelsPbr`
* Removed `NodeId`
* Renamed `Edges.id()` to `Edges.label()`
* Removed `NodeLabel`
* Changed examples according to the new label system
* Introduced new `RenderLabel`s: `Labels2d`, `Labels3d`, `LabelsPbr`,
`LabelsUi`
* Introduced new `RenderSubGraph`s: `SubGraph2d`, `SubGraph3d`,
`SubGraphUi`
* Removed `Reflect` and `Default` derive from `CameraRenderGraph`
component struct
* Improved some error messages
## Migration Guide
For Nodes and SubGraphs, instead of using hardcoded strings, you now
pass labels, which can be derived with structs and enums.

## Future work
* Make `NodeSlot`s also use types. Ideally, we have an enum with unit
variants where every variant resembles one slot. Then to make sure you
are using the right slot enum and make rust-analyzer play nicely with
it, we should make an associated type in the `Node` trait. With today's
system, we can introduce 3rd party slots to a node, and i wasnt sure if
this was used, so I didn't do this in this PR.
## Unresolved Questions
When looking at the `post_processing` example, we have a struct for the
label and a struct for the node, this seems like boilerplate and on
discord, @IceSentry (sowy for the ping)
[asked](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/743663924229963868/1175197016947699742)
if a node could automatically introduce a label (or i completely
misunderstood that). The problem with that is, that nodes like
`EmptyNode` exist multiple times *inside the same* (sub)graph, so there
we need extern labels to distinguish between those. Hopefully we can
find a way to reduce boilerplate and still have everything unique. For
EmptyNode, we could maybe make a macro which implements an "empty node"
for a type, but for nodes which contain code and need to be present
multiple times, this could get nasty...
# Objective
> Can anyone explain to me the reasoning of renaming all the types named
Query to Data. I'm talking about this PR
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10779 It doesn't make sense to
me that a bunch of types that are used to run queries aren't named Query
anymore. Like ViewQuery on the ViewNode is the type of the Query. I
don't really understand the point of the rename, it just seems like it
hides the fact that a query will run based on those types.
[@IceSentry](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/692572690833473578/1184946251431694387)
## Solution
Revert several renames in #10779.
## Changelog
- `ViewNode::ViewData` is now `ViewNode::ViewQuery` again.
## Migration Guide
- This PR amends the migration guide in

# Objective
- Add the ability to describe storage texture bindings when deriving
`AsBindGroup`.
- This is especially valuable for the compute story of bevy which
deserves some extra love imo.
## Solution
- This add the ability to annotate struct fields with a
`#[storage_texture(0)]` annotation.
- Instead of adding specific option parsing for all the image formats
and access modes, I simply accept a token stream and defer checking to
see if the option is valid to the compiler. This still results in useful
and friendly errors and is free to maintain and always compatible with
wgpu changes.
---
## Changelog
- The `#[storage_texture(..)]` annotation is now accepted for fields of
`Handle<Image>` in structs that derive `AsBindGroup`.
- The game_of_life compute shader example has been updated to use
`AsBindGroup` together with `[storage_texture(..)]` to obtain the
`BindGroupLayout`.
## Migration Guide
# Objective
allow extending `Material`s (including the built in `StandardMaterial`)
with custom vertex/fragment shaders and additional data, to easily get
pbr lighting with custom modifications, or otherwise extend a base
material.
# Solution
- added `ExtendedMaterial<B: Material, E: MaterialExtension>` which
contains a base material and a user-defined extension.
- added example `extended_material` showing how to use it
- modified AsBindGroup to have "unprepared" functions that return raw
resources / layout entries so that the extended material can combine
them
note: doesn't currently work with array resources, as i can't figure out
how to make the OwnedBindingResource::get_binding() work, as wgpu
requires a `&'a[&'a TextureView]` and i have a `Vec<TextureView>`.
# Migration Guide
manual implementations of `AsBindGroup` will need to be adjusted, the
changes are pretty straightforward and can be seen in the diff for e.g.
the `texture_binding_array` example.

# Objective
Replace instances of
```rust
for x in collection.iter{_mut}() {
```
with
```rust
for x in &{mut} collection {
```
This also changes CI to no longer suppress this lint. Note that since
this lint only shows up when using clippy in pedantic mode, it was
probably unnecessary to suppress this lint in the first place.
# Objective
Fix typos throughout the project.
## Solution
[`typos`](https://github.com/crate-ci/typos) project was used for
scanning, but no automatic corrections were applied. I checked
everything by hand before fixing.
Most of the changes are documentation/comments corrections. Also, there
are few trivial changes to code (variable name, pub(crate) function name
and a few error/panic messages).
## Unsolved
`bevy_reflect_derive` has
[typo](1b51053f19/crates/bevy_reflect/bevy_reflect_derive/src/type_path.rs (L76))
in enum variant name that I didn't fix. Enum is `pub(crate)`, so there
shouldn't be any trouble if fixed. However, code is tightly coupled with
macro usage, so I decided to leave it for more experienced contributor
just in case.
# Objective
- Fix the AsBindGroup texture attribute visibility flag parsing
- This appears to have been caused by a syn crate update which then the
visibility code got updated
- Also I noticed that by default the vertex and fragment flags were on,
so visibility(compute) would actually make the texture visible to
vertex, fragment and compute shaders, I fixed this too
## Solution
- Update flag parsing to use MetaList.parse_nested_meta function, which
loads the flags into a Vec then loop through those flags
- Change initial visibility flags to use VisibilityFlags::default()
rather than VisibilityFlags::vertex_fragment()
# Objective
Fixes#6920
## Solution
From the issue discussion:
> From looking at the `AsBindGroup` derive macro implementation, the
fallback image's `TextureView` is used when the binding's
`Option<Handle<Image>>` is `None`. Because this relies on already having
a view that matches the desired binding dimensions, I think the solution
will require creating a separate `GpuImage` for each possible
`TextureViewDimension`.
---
## Changelog
Users can now rely on `FallbackImage` to work with a texture binding of
any dimension.
Links in the api docs are nice. I noticed that there were several places
where structs / functions and other things were referenced in the docs,
but weren't linked. I added the links where possible / logical.

# Objective
There was PR that introduced support for storage buffer is `AsBindGroup` macro [#6129](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/6129), but it does not give more granular control over storage buffer, it will always copy all the data no matter which part of it was updated. There is also currently another open PR #6669 that tries to achieve exactly that, it is just not up to date and seems abandoned (Sorry if that is not right). In this PR I'm proposing a solution for both of these approaches to co-exist using `#[storage(n, buffer)]` and `#[storage(n)]` to distinguish between the cases.
We could also discuss in this PR if there is a need to extend this support to DynamicBuffers as well.
# Objective
In simple cases we might want to derive the `ExtractComponent` trait.
This adds symmetry to the existing `ExtractResource` derive.
## Solution
Add an implementation of `#[derive(ExtractComponent)]`.
The implementation is adapted from the existing `ExtractResource` derive macro.
Additionally, there is an attribute called `extract_component_filter`. This allows specifying a query filter type used when extracting.
If not specified, no filter (equal to `()`) is used.
So:
```rust
#[derive(Component, Clone, ExtractComponent)]
#[extract_component_filter(With<Fuel>)]
pub struct Car {
pub wheels: usize,
}
```
would expand to (a bit cleaned up here):
```rust
impl ExtractComponent for Car
{
type Query = &'static Self;
type Filter = With<Fuel>;
type Out = Self;
fn extract_component(item: QueryItem<'_, Self::Query>) -> Option<Self::Out> {
Some(item.clone())
}
}
```
---
## Changelog
- Added the ability to `#[derive(ExtractComponent)]` with an optional filter.
# Objective
I found several words in code and docs are incorrect. This should be fixed.
## Solution
- Fix several minor typos
Co-authored-by: Chris Ohk <utilforever@gmail.com>
# Objective
- Storage buffers are useful and not currently supported by the `AsBindGroup` derive which means you need to expand the macro if you need a storage buffer
## Solution
- Add a new `#[storage]` attribute to the derive `AsBindGroup` macro.
- Support and optional `read_only` parameter that defaults to false when not present.
- Support visibility parameters like the texture and sampler attributes.
---
## Changelog
- Add a new `#[storage(index)]` attribute to the derive `AsBindGroup` macro.
Co-authored-by: IceSentry <IceSentry@users.noreply.github.com>
# Objective
`AsBindGroup` can't be used as a trait object because of the constraint `Sized` and because of the associated function.
This is a problem for [`bevy_atmosphere`](https://github.com/JonahPlusPlus/bevy_atmosphere) because it needs to use a trait that depends on `AsBindGroup` as a trait object, for switching out different shaders at runtime. The current solution it employs is reimplementing the trait and derive macro into that trait, instead of constraining to `AsBindGroup`.
## Solution
Remove the `Sized` constraint from `AsBindGroup` and add the constraint `where Self: Sized` to the associated function `bind_group_layout`. Also change `PreparedBindGroup<T: AsBindGroup>` to `PreparedBindGroup<T>` and use it as `PreparedBindGroup<Self::Data>` instead of `PreparedBindGroup<Self>`.
This weakens the constraints, but increases the flexibility of `AsBindGroup`.
I'm not entirely sure why the `Sized` constraint was there, because it worked fine without it (maybe @cart wasn't aware of use cases for `AsBindGroup` as a trait object or this was just leftover from legacy code?).
---
## Changelog
- `AsBindGroup` can be used as a trait object.
# Objective
- Provide better compile-time errors and diagnostics.
- Add more options to allow more textures types and sampler types.
- Update array_texture example to use upgraded AsBindGroup derive macro.
## Solution
Split out the parsing of the inner struct/field attributes (the inside part of a `#[foo(...)]` attribute) for better clarity
Parse the binding index for all inner attributes, as it is part of all attributes (`#[foo(0, ...)`), then allow each attribute implementer to parse the rest of the attribute metadata as needed. This should make it very trivial to extend/change if needed in the future.
Replaced invocations of `panic!` with the `syn::Error` type, providing fine-grained errors that retains span information. This provides much nicer compile-time errors, and even better IDE errors.

Updated the array_texture example to demonstrate the new changes.
## New AsBindGroup attribute options
### `#[texture(u32, ...)]`
Where `...` is an optional list of arguments.
| Arguments | Values | Default |
|-------------- |---------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| dimension = "..." | `"1d"`, `"2d"`, `"2d_array"`, `"3d"`, `"cube"`, `"cube_array"` | `"2d"` |
| sample_type = "..." | `"float"`, `"depth"`, `"s_int"` or `"u_int"` | `"float"` |
| filterable = ... | `true`, `false` | `true` |
| multisampled = ... | `true`, `false` | `false` |
| visibility(...) | `all`, `none`, or a list-combination of `vertex`, `fragment`, `compute` | `vertex`, `fragment` |
Example: `#[texture(0, dimension = "2d_array", visibility(vertex, fragment))]`
### `#[sampler(u32, ...)]`
Where `...` is an optional list of arguments.
| Arguments | Values | Default |
|----------- |--------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| sampler_type = "..." | `"filtering"`, `"non_filtering"`, `"comparison"`. | `"filtering"` |
| visibility(...) | `all`, `none`, or a list-combination of `vertex`, `fragment`, `compute` | `vertex`, `fragment` |
Example: `#[sampler(0, sampler_type = "filtering", visibility(vertex, fragment)]`
## Changelog
- Added more options to `#[texture(...)]` and `#[sampler(...)]` attributes, supporting more kinds of materials. See above for details.
- Upgraded IDE and compile-time error messages.
- Updated array_texture example using the new options.
