Builds the guest OpenXR runtime with -O2 for Release and -O0 for Debug on Windows, and -O2 on macOS. Both use -ffreestanding so the CRT-less memcpy/memset implementations cannot be optimized into recursive calls to themselves.

This is the compiler optimization split out of #1904, as requested. It includes rebuilt x64/x86 DLLs in both XR flavors and refreshed payload hashes; no OpenComposite changes.

Validation: x64/x86 Release builds and memory-helper disassembly checked during the original implementation; payload architecture and hash verification passed again on this standalone branch. No measured headset latency or frame-rate claim.


Summary by cubic

Builds the guest OpenXR runtime with -O2 for Release and -O0 for Debug on Windows, and -O2 on macOS, to improve performance. -ffreestanding prevents the CRT-less memcpy/memset helpers from being optimized into recursive calls to themselves.

  • Rebuilt x64 and x86 runtime DLLs for both modernXr and legacyXr asset folders with refreshed payload hashes.
  • No headset latency or frame-rate improvements are being measured or claimed.

Build tooling

  • build-windows-xr-runtime.ps1 accepts a Configuration parameter, builds both x64/x86 DLLs, copies them to both asset folders, and runs the payload verifier.
  • payload.version files use schema 4 with per-file SHA-256 hashes instead of a single combined hash.

Written for commit bb5257a. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Updated XR runtime packages with refreshed compatibility metadata and checksums.
    • Windows XR runtime builds now support validated Debug and Release configurations.
    • Runtime components are packaged consistently for both modern and legacy XR environments.
    • Improved runtime build reliability and optimization for supported platforms.
    • Added payload verification during Windows runtime packaging to help ensure complete, valid distributions.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates both XR payload manifests to schema 4. Windows and macOS build scripts add freestanding compilation options. The Windows script validates configurations, stages DLLs in both asset directories, verifies the payload, and copies the manifest.

Changes

XR payload packaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Schema 4 payload manifests
app/src/legacyXr/assets/payload.version, app/src/modernXr/assets/payload.version
Both manifests list six runtime binaries with updated SHA-256 hashes.
Runtime build and staging
tools/build-windows-xr-runtime.ps1, tools/build-xr-payload-macos.sh
Builds use freestanding options. The Windows script restricts configurations, copies DLLs to both asset directories, verifies the payload, and copies the existing manifest.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bb525

The XR runtime build changes can produce a legacy XR payload whose manifest does not match all packaged files, potentially preventing the legacy runtime from loading correctly. Synchronize or validate all legacy artifacts before merging.

Synchronize and verify all six legacyXr payload files.

tools/verify-xr-payload.ps1 hashes only modernXr/assets and writes its manifest there. This script replaces only the two runtime DLLs in each flavor, then copies the modern manifest to legacyXr. If any of the other four legacy artifacts is stale or missing, the manifest lists hashes that do not match the legacy payload. Copy all six artifacts, or validate legacyXr before copying payload.version.
