* 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 prevents widget painting from getting out of control and queuing
up many redundant paints which slows down processing of the command
queue.
* Also remove a spammy command to disable pixel context that only ever
got called when pixel context was already disabled (right after a
reset - at all other times it stays active).
* 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.
* This is a *very* light-touch analytics system that will track the
simplest and most anonymous statistics that can be useful in
determining which features are most used or perhaps underused, and
where it's best to direct development attention.
* It is entirely implemented in the UI layer, no analytics-gathering
code exists in the library that's injected into programs, and of
course no capture data (screenshots, resource contents, shaders, etc
etc) is transmitted.
* Once it's turned on, it will apply to both development and release
builds. It tracks stats over a month, and then at the beginning of a
new month it sends the previous data.
* When the user first starts up a build with analytics if there's no
previous analytics database then they are informed of the new code and
asked to approve it. They have the option of selecting to manually
verify any sent reports, or just opt-ing out entirely.
* This is a leftover from before the interface was hoisted out, and most
windows were still calling directly to CaptureContext instead of via
the public ICaptureContext interface
* 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.
* We add a button with a link icon to indicate that it goes to the
resource details. We'll re-use the crosshair as a visual metaphor for
any interactive widget that goes to the resource inspector.
* To remove any possible confusion, we change the icon for the texture
list and locked tabs in the texture viewer to not include the link.
* We remove the now unneeded name fields in buffer/texture descriptions
and some of the pipeline state structs.
* A single function will give the human-readable name for a resource id.
This will look up a custom set of renames, on top of the names from
the resource descriptions.
* Hopefully these can be restored at some point, when the features are
implemented. For now where possible we remove options that are just
unavailable always, and selectively disable others when they may or
may not be available based on what API the capture uses.
* 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.
