* This is supported currently in the API inspector, constant buffer previewer, and resource inspector.
* The saved expansions are only saved while the capture is open, and will be reset each time.
* 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 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.
* 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>
* It's annoying to have the constant buffer view reset and collapse
everything, especially if moving between draws where the variables are
the same because the shader hasn't changed.
* We can just compare the previous set of variables to the new set and
if the types and structures (member variables etc) are the same, then
just update the values in-place.
* Since we're promoting everything, we reset the behaviour of
RDTreeWidget so that it's not doing anything different by default.
* RDTreeWidget's interface is a bit different, exposing some useful
things like a single selected item and so on.
* We also can't set columns in the Qt Creator UI anymore, so we set them
from code.
* Note, this API is still in-flux and beta, so there may still be some
more changes before it's 'stable', and even then it will still be
subject to some amount of change.
* This API is then exposed to python via SWIG bindings and hides
internals that don't need to be visible, and means the actual API is
easier to work with.
* We also use this API to reduce inter-dependencies between different
windows that need to interact with each other at a high level.
* The naming is python/standard RenderDoc TitleCase method names, not
Qt style camelCase methods.
# Conflicts:
# qrenderdoc/Windows/PipelineState/D3D11PipelineStateViewer.cpp
# qrenderdoc/Windows/TextureViewer.cpp
* This gives a little nicer syntax, a bit better type safety, and also
reflects better for SWIG bindings. Overall it's a minor change but
better.
* We don't update the C# UI at all, since it's soon to be removed and
not worth the effort/code churn.
* For now so we're ABI compatible with C#, all enums are uint32_t, but
that is an obvious optimisation in future to reduce struct packing.
* We avoid 'None' as an enum value, because it's a reserved word in
python so will cause problems generating bindings.
Currently, selecting an event with children (e.g. vkCmdExecuteCommands)
in the event browser will cause the API inspector window to show the
final child event, rather than the event itself. This behaviour makes
sense everywhere else: selecting an event with children shows the state
after all children have completed.
However, for the API inspector, we want to be able see API calls for
the parent event when it is selected rather than those of its last
child, particularly in the case of vkCmdExecuteCommands which may have
other API calls leading up to it.
To allow this, distinguish between the "current event" and "selected
event". For an event with children, the former refers to the last
child, while the latter refers to the event itself. ILogViewerForm now
has two separate event callbacks for when either one changes.
The API inspector now makes use of the selected event, while everything
else continues to use the current event.
