* This gives a one-click way to run the last capture, if it's not
complex/regular enough to be worth saving to a settings file on its own.
* Doesn't save much if you're selecting an exe as the previous exe location is
remembered, but if you also have command line parameters or a working
directory it can help.
* This means it outputs natively/properly to stdout/stderr and its output can be
redirected with pipes.
* It does mean we need to be very careful whenever it's run internally to not
pop up a command window, which happens by default.
* This option will now toggle on the behaviour to fill undefined buffer contents
with a marker value, both if they're created without data (it will be zero
filled instead) or mapped with discard (it will keep the old contents
instead).
* There were too many hard to find problems or misconceptions about the buffer
filling for it to be useful. Now it will be opt-in instead.
* On linux sometimes you can't invoke a GUI application as root. To work around
this, we use renderdoccmd to register the layer if it's available, or fail if
it isn't.
* This option has always been a mixed bag - when originally written captures
weren't compressed at all so saving the cost of a initial contents on a
gbuffer would have a significant savings.
* Now with compression the savings are lesser, and it's a source of
bugs/confusion for the case where either a bug is caused by leaking data from
the previous frame or worse still the contents are discarded incorrectly.
* D3D11 will now behave as the other APIs will - saving initial contents
whenever needed even if they seem like they might not be used.
* The GUIInvoke object takes a QObject, and uses QPointer to check that
it hasn't been deleted when the callback fires. This prevents delayed
callbacks from executing after the object has been deleted and
crashing.
* In most cases the pointer is just 'this'.
* 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.
* We also make the frame counting consistent: Frame 0 is the frame from
device initialisation to first present, Frame 1 is from first present
to second, and so on after that.
* Mostly used for passing a progress float back during a long blocking
call like opening a capture or doing a copy.
* This is much more feasible for python to bind to.
* In several cases we just use a tiny lambda that updates a float anyway
since we can't push the progress directly into a progress dialog, but
need to let it query from a temporary in-between float.
* We enforce a naming scheme more strongly - types, member functions,
and enum values must be UpperCaseCamel, and member variables must be
lowerCaseCamel. No underscores allowed.
* eventId not eventID or EID, and Id preferred to ID in general. Also
for resourceId.
* Removed some lingering hungarian m_Foo naming.
* Some pipeline state structs that are almost identical between the
different APIs are pulled out into common structs. Where something
doesn't make sense (e.g. viewport enable for vulkan) it will just be
set to a sensible default (in that case always true).
* Changed scissors to be x/y & width/height instead of sometimes
left/top/right/bottom
* Abbreviations are discouraged, e.g. operation not op, function not
func.
* Tag the RenderDoc layer with a version string that
matches the host, including git hash.
* In developer builds, check the version when scanning the
application for RenderDoc support.
* Pass the warning back to the UI to offer ways to fix.
* Update APK patching to remove existing layer.
* 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.
* Log is an overloaded term since it can also mean the debug log. We now
consistently refer to capture files as capture files or just captures
for short. The log is just for log messages and diagnostics.
* The user-facing UI was mostly already consistent, but many of the
public interfaces exposed to python needed to be renamed, and it made
more sense just to make everything consistent.
* Since these types are more prevalent than originally designed, it
makes more sense to remove the namespace for ease of typing/naming.
* Also add a specialised type 'bytebuf' for an array of bytes.
* This makes mapping easier to SWIG since there's no special casing for
namespaced arrays. Especially so for nested cases like
rdctype::array<rdctype::str> -> rdcarray<rdcstr>
* For the most part the interface is stl-compatible, but we have a few
little changes of our own for convenience.
* This class is still needed after deleting the C# UI, because we don't
want to pass C++ stl structs over module boundaries and possibly run
into hard to diagnose incompatibilities.
In most of these cases, the open file dialog won't even display a file
without the proper extension, so this helps ensure the user doesn't
accidentally misplace their files. The one exception is *.rdc, which
could be found without the extension, but could not be opened.
During initial scan of application, detect if root access is available
and track it. If user later selects "Click here for ways to fix this".
display a new dialogue that offers to push the layer directly.
If pushing fails, fall back to production dialogue.
Also add a new persistent setting to enable automatic layer pushing.
After selecting an application to launch on Android, inspect it to see if
it contains the RenderDoc layer and required permissions. If it does not,
display a warning similar to desktop. When clicked, if only the layer was
missing, offer to patch the APK, uninstall, and reinstall, with the
warning that it doesn't work for all applications (or at all for GLES).
Also provides pointers to how to package the layer yourself.
The process works by using the host temp directory to pull the APK and
modify it. If the steps fail for any reason, the log is populated and
patching is halted.
