Unsolved Why QRasterPaintEngine is called in an QOpenGLWidget?
-
Hi all,
Thank you for reading this post! Recently I am working on an old code base. The app runs on X11 with a remote server. The function is to render a series of images repeatedly (1..N-1..N..1..). The class is very efficient to render a series of images on X11 + Mesa3D/LLVMPipe (20fps).
Later, I added a new QOpenGLWidget with similar functionality. But the maximum fps is only 60% of the original. In the beginning, I thought it is because images in the new widget has higher resolution. But after launching a perf on Linux, I found out that 20% of the time is spent on
qt_memfill32
. Another 10% is spent onmemcpy
.In comparison, the original code will barely trigger
qt_memfill32
andmemcpy
. I am confused about what's the mechanism behind this. I read the official article Qt Graphics and Performance - An Overview. The old QOpenGLWidget doesn't apply any of the flags to directly render to screen.Hope anyone can help me!
Thanks!
P.S. the stack for the new QOpenGLWidget:
#0 in qt_memfill32(unsigned int*, unsigned int, int) #1 qt_rectfill_argb32(QRasterBuffer*, int, int, int, int, QRgba64 const&) #2 fillRect_normalized(QRect const&, QSpanData*, QRasterPaintEnginePrivate*) #3 QRasterPaintEngine::fillRect(QRectF const&, QSpanData*) #4 QPainter::fillRect(QRect const&, QBrush const&) #5 QWidgetPrivate::paintBackground(QPainter*, QRegion const&, int) const () #6 QWidgetPrivate::drawWidget(QPaintDevice*, QRegion const&, QPoint const&, int, QPainter*, QWidgetBackingStore*) () #7 QWidgetBackingStore::doSync() () #8 QWidgetBackingStore::sync() () #9 QWidgetPrivate::syncBackingStore() () #10 QWidget::event(QEvent*) () #11 QMainWindow::event(QEvent*) ()
