* For very large shader symbol stores especially those on network drives, the
bad behaviour that PIX has to recursively search all possible subdirectories
and enumerate all files can be really slow. Most of the time a file is
identified by its hash filename and looked up directly - if that isn't a hit,
in many cases users would rather a fast exit to having no symbols.
Used when fields are marked as being an Offset or Size
Include simple latch to trigger a UI refresh when closing the settings dialog.
Currently only connected to if the Offset/Size format option is altered
* This option (in spite of large warnings) continues to be a pitfall for new and
experienced users alike, trying to use process injection without good reason
and getting into trouble when it breaks.
* This is a string type which heavily optimises for immutability and minimal
storage. It only contains one pointer to the string data and always
reallocates on modify. For compile-time literals it doesn't modify or
allocate.
* On x64 we use the top bit in a tagged pointer to store a flag of whether it's
heap or literal, on other platforms it uses a separate field (meaning another
pointer sized value effectively, including padding).
* This is best for structured data which tends to use a lot of immutable strings
for type/name information, and only a few for actual string data (which are
only allocated once and aren't modified after that). Similarly we rarely want
to know only the size of any of these strings, we want the whole string so not
explicitly storing the size is not a big deal.
* Overall this reduces SDObject from 128 bytes to 80 bytes.
* For certain very large arrays it can be nice to defer generation of structured
data until it's needed, since often maybe only a handful of elements may be
needed (or commonly none at all).
* This allows persistent config storage and registering tweak variables that
works independent of the UI's configuration.
* Config vars can be debug only, which means they will be compiled out in stable
version releases. This allows for debug-logging tweaks that are available in
all builds (including nightly builds) for diagnostic purposes, but have zero
overhead in stable releases.
* Variables have a loose hierarchy defined with _ or . to separate nodes.
* This lets the user override the default application font.
* Unfortunately Qt seems to behave inconsistently with font scaling from the
system, so we take the font size initially from QApplication::font() (which
doesn't always pick up the font size) and scale from there. While this might
cause some font scaling to be lost it does mean at least we have a consistent
scale, as otherwise you get some text scaling and others not.
* The defaults can be configured from the settings menu, and there's a new "Open
Capture with Options" menu option to open a capture with different options
temporarily.
* Unfortunately at least one deprecated function
QDesktopWidget::screenGeometry(const QPoint &p) has no easy alternative that
works on 5.9 which is the version we have available by default on windows.
* Instead of just configuring SPIR-V disassemblers and picking only the first
one when we need to edit SPIR-V, we allow setting up any shader processor that
goes between two shader encodings.
* When editing, the default will still be to use embedded source, and then after
that the first tool that goes from the native shader format to a text format,
but the drop-down allows you to pick any of them.
* Similarly in the shader viewer you can configure the compilation options and
method, to choose the compiler you want to use. Embedded command line
parameters in the shader are automatically appended.
* We don't consider anything else, this includes permissions or the
library being present. Since we no longer expect to patch in the
library we also don't check its version (however we leave the tag in
case it is useful in the future).
* If the user has root access we will never warn, assuming the injection
will work fine even without the debuggable flag.
* Initially add support for spirv-cross and spirv-dis.
* When possible we'll auto-detect the tools in path or in the build's
plugins folder. Otherwise the user can add it and add their
executable path.
* We still use the first disassembler for editing - in future it would
be good to allow selecting the disassembler at edit time (as well
as allowing multiple compilers).
* We search first in specified folders by the user (they can browse to
the android SDK and java JDK).
* If the tools we want aren't found there, we look relative to the UI
as we now distribute the required tools with windows builds.
* If we still don't find them, we prefer to look in PATH since the user
has 'opted in' to any tools found in there. If the tool isn't in PATH
either then we look relative to known environment variables.
* This is to support python bindings - the pyside implementation of
QVector, QString, etc is not available to SWIG, so SWIG treates these
all as opaque types.
* Rather than trying to set up bindings that work for rdcarray and
QList/QVector, or implementing separate bindings, we instead just say
that the public interface must use the rdc types. In most cases they
seamlessly convert to/from Qt types anyway.
* In a couple of places we use an array of pairs instead of a map. In
future we probably want an rdcdict or rdcmap with proper dict bindings
in python.
