Any commits created through the GitHub UI (e.g. commits created by
merging PRs) usually assign GitHub itself as the ccommitter. This is
expected behaviour, as the commit is applied by GitHub itself. However,
for the purposes of changelog creation, showing the author (e.g. the
person who clicked the merge button on the PR) is more useful.
Resurrect error.log and error.dmp file output when the engine crashes (LYN-3873). This was recently removed as part of 96b85e6813920554f7dfdc7752c1dd4452919b92
Previously, the SkinnedMeshFeatureProcessor assumed there would only be one skinning pass. However, that's not always the case. When rendering with track view, the feature processor was getting a pass that only updated once every three frames, which could lead to a condition where a skinned mesh was released, but the pass never submitted and cleared the previously added dispatch items, and one or two frames later it would go to submit after the skinned mesh and all of its resources had already been released.
-Modified the skinning and morph target compute passes to pull dispatch items from the feature processor instead of the feature processor pushing them to the passes.
-If more than one skinning (or morph target) pass is active in the frame, whichever one is first will submit all the dispatch items, and clear the feature processor's dispatch items before the next one tries to submit anything
-Moved the logic for caching shader options from the SkinnedMeshComputePass to the SkinnedMeshFeatureProcessor, since there may be more than one pass but only one feature processor per scene
Inserting, updating, and removing entries from a VisibilityScene was made thread safe in a previous change, and now both the MeshFeatureProcessor and DiffuseProbeGridFeatureProcessor update entries at the same time from multiple threads. This leads to an assert in the Culling concurrency_checker, even though this is now valid behavior.
However, we still don't want to be adding, removing, or updating cullables between BeginCulling and EndCulling, which could cause a mismatch between the result of OctreeScene::GetEntryCount and the actual number of cullables in the scene.
-Added soft_lock_shared/soft_unlock_shared to the concurrency checker to allow multiple threads to acquire a lock when that is the desired behavior, while still asserting that nothing tries to acquire a shared lock when the concurrency checker is already locked.
-Update Culling.cpp to use the new soft_lock_shared when adding, updating, or removing cullables
-Added unit tests for the concurrency_checker
-Updated ArrayView unit test to use AZ_TEST_START_TRACE_SUPPRESSION instead of manually checking the assertion count, so that test now passes in release builds which do not assert.
* - Fix reversed symlink logic for Non-Windows file systems
- Add additional logic to clear existing symlink if it exists before re-applying
* Update to remove pre-existing reference regardless if its a symlink or not
