This patch solves the following Visual C compiler error when attempting to build the "util/tests/demos.sln" VS project from the command-line w/ MSBUILD:
`error C2220: the following warning is treated as an error
warning C4701: potentially uninitialized local variable 'xfbpipe' used`
* Ideally we would also include mesh output here, but we would need a way to
clear the postvs cache every so often to avoid bloating, otherwise it will
generate too much data iterating the whole capture.
This is supported by OpenGL, and on Vulkan with
VK_EXT_primitive_topology_list_restart. On Vulkan, all drivers are
known to support this even without
VK_EXT_primitive_topology_list_restart. On D3D, primitive restart is
only supported for strip topologies.
Previously, RenderDoc specifically disabled primitive restart for
non-strip topologies. In this change, that is no longer done. If the
app enables primitive restart, so will RenderDoc behave accordingly. It
would be the responsibility of the app to avoid primitive restart if the
API doesn't allow it.
* The D3D11 spec is unclear but checking sources including D3D11On12 it looks
like the defined behaviour for SO counters is to calculate the number of bytes
written and divide that by the VB stride on draw.
* Old captures can't be updated to work with this because the stride is unknown,
but new captures will work correctly as well as any data that is stream'd out
mid-capture.
Adding note about using "--demos-binary" option to specify the filepath of the demos binary as an alternative to making sure the demos binary is in the PATH.
Fixed a typo "can'tbe" -> "can't be"
Copy Metal driver metal-cpp files to the tests project for use in the tests project
Add extensions from Learn Metal-cpp project: https://developer.apple.com/metal/cpp/https://developer.apple.com/metal/LearnMetalCPP.zip
Custom additions to Metal CPP to get NSApplication, NSView, NSWindow, CAMetalLayer to work stand alone without requiring MetalKit library.
* This may break on drivers old enough to not recognise the first non-legacy
ASIC, but that is much rarer than new drivers that have dropped support for
the old ones.
