* The enums are given after compute, to preserve indices for the normal vertex
pipeline.
* Mesh dispatches are considered a new action type, rather than being bundled
into the `Drawcall` type. This will allow them to be distinguished by API
backends as needed. The UI treats them as drawcalls
* We apply this universally even though it's not relevant to D3D11/GL. It means
a couple of empty array entries but it should not cause any significant
issues.
* Shader messages will be identified by group and thread as with compute
shaders. For mesh shaders there is an additional subdivision to identify them
by task group, since each task group can submit a grid of mesh groups.
* We add a capture option that defines a soft limit we aim to keep under for
memory overhead during capture, excess initial states after that will be
stored temporarily on disk.
* This distinction unfortunately does not exist in SPIR-V so we have to carry
around this metadata ourselves. Rather than allowing free specification of
tools based on API, instead pretend that Vulkan and GL SPIR-V are separate
format, and duplicate all SPIR-V tools to handle "both" types. This allows
appropriate tool selection based on the encoding.
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.
* We can't debug geometry shaders but we can scroll to them, as long as we have
the primitive. We can't differentiate instances currently without passing that
data through from the VS (and through tessellation, if it exists).
* This also disables the debug and goto buttons for printfs from shader stages
that don't support those operations.
* 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.
* This is a deliberate break of compatibility since the field is now often
empty, for non-markers. This means code will get a more explicit error when
the name is being referenced, so it can be updated to fetch the name it needs
as needed.
* 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.
* The current filter is preserved across runs even if it's not explicitly saved.
Saved filters are only updated with an explicit save - loading a filter then
making a change just cahnges the current scratch filter, it doesn't update the
saved filter until the user explicitly saves it.
