* If there's a very tight loop there could be a _lot_ of updates to the point
where the UI takes longer to redraw than the script does to step a line.
Updating at 100Hz is still plenty fast.
* This is necessary as they expect to be run on the UI thread, but can be
fetched from python scripts running on the python script thread. We block
invoke over to the UI and suspend python's GIL to avoid deadlocks.
* This doesn't cover all cases but helps with 'pythonic' cases where a list
returned from a function should be expected to be mutable. Modifying direct
'members' can still modify through const.
* We let it run after any change unconditionally rather than stopping/starting
it. Instead if it fires and we ar in the middle of an autocomplete we just
ignore that instance.
* In a previous update in 2021 many copyright ranges were truncated
accidentally, and some files have been copy-pasted with wrong years. These
dates have been fixed based on git history and original copyright messages.
* This shifts from reporting from the old style bindset/bind to the new system
of only referencing by shader interface and index (independent of binding
model).
* The vulkan shader debugger re-uses the replay interface to cache descriptor
access and descriptor contents in a fashion friendly to interface-index
lookup.
Output "ViewIndex" into the pixel shader hits array
Select the pixel shader input which matches the viewIndex to the passed in view
Ignore the view parameter if set to ~0U (rd.ReplayController.NoPreference)
Ignore the view parameter if any subpass has empty multiviews
Added interface functions:
- GetComboBoxCount() the function returns the number of
combo box options currently set,
- SelectComboBoxOption() - selects an active combo box
option by name from the list of set options.
Updated interface functions:
- Changed SetComboOptions() to SetComboBoxOptions to keep
consistency in naming.
* We store the compiler used (when known) in shader debug info and use that to
select the compiler for editing as even higher priority than the default for a
given language/encoding combination.
* We also ensure that for known tools we add the input and output parameters
last, after any custom parameters, so that they are always present regardless
of what the user puts in.
* Unifying these views means that constant buffers have all the same
reformatting and it avoids having multiple paths for what is now effectively
the same control (a buffer can either have fixed data, repeating data, or
both)
* Most of the main entry points that can fail with relevant reasons now has a
way of specifying a message to return with it. This message can be displayed
to the user to give more information or context about an error.
* Newly written shaders and any updated shaders can now use pre-defined macros
to abstract away binding differences between APIs, so custom shaders will be
more portable in particular shaders written in HLSL for D3D or GLSL on OpenGL
won't break on vulkan because they refer to incorrect binds.
* We also add the ability to toggle on/off the replacement being active without
needing to intentionally add a compile error (and this also makes it more
explicitly clear when the shader replacement is enabled or not. This could be
useful for quick A/B testing between the edited version and the original.
* The UI will become non-functional and the backend will be replaced with a do-
nothing one that keeps things alive without needing error bulletproofing
everywhere in the real backend.
* There's not a good accepted terminology for this kind of event, and for
historical reasons 'drawcall' has been the accepted term, even though
that can be quite confusing when a dispatch or a copy is a 'drawcall'.
* This is particularly highlighted by the event browser filters where
$draw() includes draws and dispatches, but $dispatch() only includes
dispatches, it's hard to intuitively understand why $draw() matches all
of these calls.
* As a result we've defined the term 'action' to cover these types of
events in the same way that we defined 'event' in the first place to
mean a single atomic API call.
