Henrik RydgårdandClaude Opus 5.5 f015bd111b SoftGPU: Don't change a state the threads may be drawing with
Each queued primitive adds its vertex flags (alpha, fog, colors) to its
state, and states are optimized for those flags before their items are
distributed. A state can still gain primitives after some of its items
are in tiles. Re-optimizing it then changed its pixel and sampler
functions and IDs while threads drew with them. With the x86 pixel JIT,
the span function could turn null between checking and calling it, as
in Coded Arms' frame dump. God of War hit this about four times a frame.

Now a state is live once any of its items is in a tile, until the tiles
are drawn and reset, and a live state isn't changed. A primitive that
would change a live state's flags starts a new, unoptimized state from
the same registers instead, optimized for its own primitives only.

To get to 100% compatibility, we will need a software renderer as there are games out there that do tricks
that can't really be faked in a sensible way. Useful for homebrew too that mix sw and accel rendering.
