- fixing various race conditions throughout (usage of static vars, etc)
- addition of a few lightweight mutexes (which are compiled out by default)
- slight code rearrangement in discreteDynamicsWorld to facilitate multithreading
- PoolAllocator::allocate() can now be called when pool is full without
crashing (null pointer returned)
- PoolAllocator allocate and freeMemory, are OPTIONALLY threadsafe
(default is un-threadsafe)
- CollisionDispatcher no longer checks if the pool allocator is full
before calling allocate(), instead it just calls allocate() and
checks if the return is null -- this avoids a race condition
- SequentialImpulseConstraintSolver OPTIONALLY uses different logic in
getOrInitSolverBody() to avoid a race condition with kinematic bodies
- addition of 2 classes which together allow simulation islands to be run
in parallel:
- btSimulationIslandManagerMt
- btDiscreteDynamicsWorldMt
- MultiThreadedDemo example in the example browser demonstrating use of
OpenMP, Microsoft PPL, and Intel TBB
- use multithreading for other demos
- benchmark demo: add parallel raycasting
CFM for contacts use world CFM value by default, and can override with custom CFM value using the
BT_CONTACT_FLAG_HAS_CONTACT_CFM stored in m_contactPointFlags.
Boolean m_lateralFrictionInitialized is replaced 'BT_CONTACT_FLAG_LATERAL_FRICTION_INITIALIZED' flag stored in int m_contactPointFlags in btManifoldPoint.
Enable successive over-relaxation parameter (SOR) for contacts. btMLCPSolver uses global CFM.
In one of the next commits, contact softness will be enabled btMultiBody contacts.
Also need to review use of CFM in btMLCPSolvers (only world CFM is used at the moment)
contact force problems". The solver needs a lot of iterations, before the quality goes up (~ 1000)
Thanks to Gabor PUHR for the contribution!
Improved the btLemkeSolver.
Remove the sparse optimizations from the btMatrixX.h, replace it with explicit call to rowComputeNonZeroElements (only used in the btSolveProjectedGaussSeidel), it was likely slowing things down, without being useful.
Re-enable SIMD in the solver (was accidently disabled in Bullet 2.82 release)
Apply patch for CMake config, see Issue 754 (Issue 753)
Fix a few issue with the MLCP solver: allow split impulse, and fix offset in friction dependencies
Added a PGS solver that uses the sparsity of the A matrix, just for testing (the equivalent sequential impulse solver is much faster, not having to allocate the big matrices)
