1) Add fast branchless SIMD support for constraint solver (Windows only until we get other contributions).
See resolveSingleConstraintRowGenericSIMD in Bullet/src/BulletDynamics/ConstraintSolver/btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver.cpp
resolveSingleConstraintRowGenericSIMD can be used for all constraints, including contact, point 2 point, hinge, generic etc.
2) During this refactoring, all constraints support the obsolete 'solveConstraintObsolete' while we add 'getInfo1' and 'getInfo2' support.
This interface is almost identical interface to Open Dynamics Engine, to make it easier to port Dantzig LCP solver.
3) Some minor refactoring to reduce huge constructor overhead in math classes.
Fixed recently introduced issue: can't re-use stack as member variable (to reduce memory allocs) in btDbvt, due to recursion.
remove btGjkEpa.* from Makefile.am, Makefile and CMakeLists.txt
avoid division-by-zero in ODE boxbox contact reduction
Disable btSphereBoxCollisionAlgorithm, it is broken.
More fixes for btSimpleBroadphase
Moved quickstep to Extras/quickstep folder, so developers don't get confused which constraint solver is default.
This was harder using default arguments. Thanks Vangelis Kokkevis for pointing this out.
- Fixed memoryleak in the ConstraintDemo and Raytracer demo.
- fixed issue with clearing forces/gravity at the end of the stepSimulation, instead of during internalSingleStepSimulation.
Thanks chunky for pointing this out: http://www.bulletphysics.com/Bullet/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1780
- Disabled additional damping in rigid body by default, but enable it in most demos. Set btRigidBodyConstructionInfo m_additionalDamping to true to enable this.
- Removed obsolete QUICKPROF BEGIN/END_PROFILE, and enabled BT_PROFILE. Profiling is enabled by default (see Bullet/Demos/OpenGL/DemoApplication.cpp how to use this).
User can switch off profiling by enabling define BT_NO_PROFILE in Bullet/src/btQuickprof.h.
- applied a large patch to remove warnings
Thanks to Enrico, see http://www.bulletphysics.com/Bullet/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1568
- removed SSE includes, added #incude <string.h> for memset in Extras/quickstep, thanks Eternl Knight
- disabled 16-byte alignement on btQuadWord class, it causes problems under PS3 Linux. Need to check out why.
boxbox reports contact point in B, rather then average point
box, cylinder use halfextents corrected for scaling and margin. made the margin in this halfextents explicit in the 'getHalfExtentsWithMargin' and 'getHalfExtentsWithoutMargin'
integrated changed for ODE quickstep solver
replaced inline with SIMD_FORCE_INLINE
some minor optimizations in the btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver
added cone drawing (for X,Y,Z cones)
Some dynamic memory allocations have been replace by pool allocation or stack allocations.
quantized aabb versus quantized aabb overlap check is made branch-free (helps a lot on consoles PS3/XBox 360)
Collision algorithms are now created through a new btDefaultCollisionConfiguration, to decouple dependency (this is the API change):
Example:
btDefaultCollisionConfiguration* collisionConfiguration = new btDefaultCollisionConfiguration();
m_dispatcher = new btCollisionDispatcher(collisionConfiguration);
Moved optional code to Extras: AlgebraicCCD,EPA,quickstep
Moved SimpleBroadphase data to OverlappingPairCache, and derive both SimpleBroadphase and AxisSweep3 from OverlappingPairCache.
Added ParallelPhysicsEnvironment (prepair more parallel mainloop)
Upgraded hardcoded limit from 1024/8192 to 32766/65535 (max objects / max overlapping pairs)
