* This helps those who have chosen the dark theme where rich resource text uses
the default window text colour assuming it's a contrasting colour against the
background (except when highlighted).
* Unifying these views means that constant buffers have all the same
reformatting and it avoids having multiple paths for what is now effectively
the same control (a buffer can either have fixed data, repeating data, or
both)
* GL and Vulkan allow buffers to have fixed variables before a trailing AoS
unbounded array. These fixed variables can't be easily displayed in a table
and previously we skipped them. Now we display these in a tree format.
* We also support formats which don't have an unbounded array at all and display
these just with the tree. This will allow the BufferViewer to subsume the
capabilities of the ConstantBufferPreviewer (though it needs to handle opaque
non-buffer-backed variables, and slot-following).
* This allows the calling code to pass a hint of what packing is known or likely
to be used, meaning less generated manual offsetting/padding when the implicit
rules cover it.
In some cases it is easier to know the dispatch thread ID you want to
debug rather than the group/thread IDs. This change adds a new window
when the debug button is clicked, to allow you to specify which thread
to debug in the most convenient way.
* There's not a good accepted terminology for this kind of event, and for
historical reasons 'drawcall' has been the accepted term, even though
that can be quite confusing when a dispatch or a copy is a 'drawcall'.
* This is particularly highlighted by the event browser filters where
$draw() includes draws and dispatches, but $dispatch() only includes
dispatches, it's hard to intuitively understand why $draw() matches all
of these calls.
* As a result we've defined the term 'action' to cover these types of
events in the same way that we defined 'event' in the first place to
mean a single atomic API call.
* On all APIs when depth is disabled the writes are skipped as well. Explicitly
set the function and write state to say that they are disabled.
* This also papers over a weirdness on D3D11 which has confused a couple of
people, where the retrieved desc with GetDesc() on a state object can be
different to the one it was created with when you set ignored parameters -
like the depth function with depth disabled.
* We can't assume ranges in root signature elements map to shader binding
arrays, there is a many:many relationship (one range can have multiple
elements, or only part of an array, one array can have multiple ranges).
* E.g. on D3D12 we can debug DXBC shaders but not DXIL shaders. On vulkan this
will allow us to have the UI work better when encountering shaders with
unsupported capabilities or extensions.
D3D12Pipe now stores an array of root elements, each one corresponding
to a root element or range in the root signature. Migrated usage in the
D3D12 pipeline state viewer and PipeState retrieval of resources.
Restricted number of resource array textures displayed in the texture
viewer to prevent app hangs.
* 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.
