* This has been bugging me for ages, it's not a problem typically for users
as the config would be saved on shutdown, but if you're debugging
renderdoc and you kill the process (by stopping debugging) after loading
a log but before closing the program, the recent file wouldn't be saved!
* This will allow the adding of things like 'redundant api call' for calls
that have no effect, as well as potential problems like drawing with an
empty viewport, or similar things that are common problems. Reading out-
of-bounds on buffers etc is a good example of 'defined' behaviour that
is probably not desired.
* These heuristics could also identify potential performance problems.
* It also supports adding debug messages after log-load time, so you could
do an additional extra-strength pass, or do a detailed check of one
draw call (e.g. a broken draw, to try and figure out the problem). If
there are any unread debug messages, the status bar will flash and the
debug messages window will show a count as (N).
* You can choose which component will be used as 'position' when rendering
vertex inputs. Helpful if a position component isn't auto-detected, or
if you want to render UV co-ordinates onto the screen.
* Instead of fixed TEXCOORD0/Color options for solid shading onto the mesh
you can choose a secondary column yourself.
* Also the solid shading options are available on vertex output meshes as
well as inputs.
* This allows you to hook into processes that are difficult to launch
directly with the existing functionality in RenderDoc.
* This is rather risky, as it modifies the AppInit_DLLs registry key to
inject a small shim dll that checks for the desired process and injects
the full renderdoc.dll. If that registry key got left, or if there was
some incompatibility with the shim dll, you could have problems. It
should only ever be used as a last resort if there's no other way to
capture.
* This is useful in e.g. a renderdoc-aware application that has voluntarily
injected renderdoc, and then wants to boot the UI to automatically open
up the management connection
* For APIs where the shader namespace/bindpoint (which may be arbitrary
like 'the Nth texture resource' can be mapped, at each event, to the
actual API bind point where the object is.
* On D3D11 this is pass-through, on GL this returns the value of each
uniform.
* This also means GL shader reflection structures are properly immutable
and the variance in the uniform values is handled elsewhere.
* In future this might need to be expanded to support more complex binding
methods, where the mapping returns the resource rather than just mapping
to an integer bind ponit.
* This means that e.g. decimal separator will always be . and similar
effects, which avoids the need to have culture specific formatting or
special-case handling around CSV export etc.
