They're now drawn as CE_StyledFrame controls, with either HLine or VLine
shape as appropriate for the orientation of the line. This will go into
RDStyle when the light or dark UI theme is selected, allowing appropriate
colors to be used.
* This is a minor optimisation when there are large numbers of bound resources
that are available (duplicated) to all shader stages. There's no point
fetching them when there's no shader bound there.
* This is a holdover from simpler binding times, these days it makes more sense
to omit buffers than try to hold onto those bindings even when they don't
contain textures.
* We can't assume ranges in root signature elements map to shader binding
arrays, there is a many:many relationship (one range can have multiple
elements, or only part of an array, one array can have multiple ranges).
* These map more naturally to python tuples and are easier to wrap in and out.
* We also tidy up the FloatVecVal etc and standardise the members of
ShaderValue.
* Ideally we'd document every member unconditionally for best autocompletion,
but that's a lot of modification so for now we stick to just making sure that
any members that are struct types (or lists/tuples) have the :type:
declaration so that we can autocomplete inside them.
* Also added a script that can run as part of CI to verify that the docstring
matches, by generating a regex from the docstring documented parameter types
and return type and making sure we find a match within the C headers. This
ensures all parameters are documented with the right types, no extra
parameters are documented, and the return type is correct.
* The script also checks proper scoping so that if qrenderdoc docstrings
mention a renderdoc type, they need to scope it properly.
* This prevents unnecessary conversions back and forth between rdcstr and const
char * when going through interfaces. In the OS specific layer this is rarely
an issue because most of the implementations don't convert to rdcstr, but it
is convenient to be able to pass in an rdcstr directly. The few cases where
there's an unecessary construction of an rdcstr is acceptable.
* A couple of places in the public API need to return a string from a global
function, so can't return an rdcstr due to C ABI, so they still return a const
char *.
* Similarly const char * is kept for logging, to avoid a dependency on rdcstr
and because that's one place where unnecessary conversions/constructions may
be impactful.
* One automodule in a file for our modules is way too much, so we split it into
files. Unfortunately this means that only one file can have those classes and
functions be linkable from elsewhere.
* Instead we bite the bullet and manually curate the items into pages, and at
the same time subdivide the 'enums and data' page more which is a general
readability and usability win as well.
* We also add some previously not-included functions, and add a doc-build time
check to ensure that functions and classes aren't omitted from the
documentation in future
* This by no means replaces PySide2, but it allows python extensions to write
simple UIs without needing to rely on PySide2, which might not be available
(generally all windows builds have it as well as recent binary linux builds,
but local windows builds may not and most linux builds probably won't).
* If no capture is loaded after launching a program, the capture settings can
still be present and cause problems with future launches of applications
depending on the Android version.
* 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.
