* We instead always have 3rdparty/ in the relevant include search paths and rely
on that. Each library still has its own unique base dir within 3rdparty to
clarify where the include is coming from.
* Previously we had "Frame X" and "Start of Frame" hardcoded in the event
browser, and the end of frame was in many cases assumed to be a present call.
However with the in-application API this is not necessarily true.
* Presents are now serialised separately in all APIs and displayed wherever they
happen in the frame, and if there is no present at the end of the frame an
"End of Capture" marker is inserted. Similarly API-defined captures are not
given a potentially misleading frame number.
* If the UI was launched with a filename as a parameter to open the capture, it
will be added to the recent capture file list. Only later (relatively
speaking) if we make a capture connection will we realise that it is temporary
and potentially delete the file. If we do so, remove the capture from the
recent file list.
* The defaults can be configured from the settings menu, and there's a new "Open
Capture with Options" menu option to open a capture with different options
temporarily.
* This allows RemoteHost handles to still be valid and usable (if returning
empty data) when they are deleted/removed if the device is disconnected, as
well as providing better multi-thread access (they lock internally)
A new button is added to the UI so that we can cycle the currently active window when there are more windows to capture. It's like pressing the F11 button but it works on Android too.
* 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'.
* This gives a better 'first impression' when opening a capture than
falling back to the last panel that is the launch executable panel
in 95% of cases.
* 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.
* We also let an API be active without presenting, and then note when it
starts presenting. This lets us detect the case where an API has been
started up and used, but isn't presenting so we're not able to capture
it. Less confusing than telling the user no API is detected, and lets
us direct them to the relevant documentation.
* There's also a flag indicating if the API can be captured even if it
does present.
* 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.
* 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.
