* This by no means replaces PySide2, but it allows python extensions to write
simple UIs without needing to rely on PySide2, which might not be available
(generally all windows builds have it as well as recent binary linux builds,
but local windows builds may not and most linux builds probably won't).
* If no capture is loaded after launching a program, the capture settings can
still be present and cause problems with future launches of applications
depending on the Android version.
* This is a string type which heavily optimises for immutability and minimal
storage. It only contains one pointer to the string data and always
reallocates on modify. For compile-time literals it doesn't modify or
allocate.
* On x64 we use the top bit in a tagged pointer to store a flag of whether it's
heap or literal, on other platforms it uses a separate field (meaning another
pointer sized value effectively, including padding).
* This is best for structured data which tends to use a lot of immutable strings
for type/name information, and only a few for actual string data (which are
only allocated once and aren't modified after that). Similarly we rarely want
to know only the size of any of these strings, we want the whole string so not
explicitly storing the size is not a big deal.
* Overall this reduces SDObject from 128 bytes to 80 bytes.
* For certain very large arrays it can be nice to defer generation of structured
data until it's needed, since often maybe only a handful of elements may be
needed (or commonly none at all).
* QNetworkAccessManager is supposed to be asynchronous and threaded internally,
but calling get() the first time can take multiple *seconds* while it
initialises proxy data and loads ssl libraries.
* Qt's threading rules are so strict it's impossible to feasibly move
QNetworkAccessManager to another thread.
* Instead we use Qt's cross-thread signals and slots to move the whole thing
into a wrapper object. It's stupid.
* If we default to D3D11 at construction time, if we have persist data (very
likely) and it's for another API then we'll have to destroy the D3D11 viewer
and recreate the other API's viewer.
* We tune the pipeline state view and texture viewer to only iterate over a
small list of dynamically used binds in the (vastly more common) case where
unused binds are not being shown.
* This simplifies the code flow because we can be sure that we always have
cached read-only/read-write resources (this was true before, but now it's
clear).
* Using the auto-resizing mode of RDHeaderView resizes based on the whole column
every time, which is wasteful when only a few lines are added to a large log.
* Newer Qt versions will base64 the byte arrays even if we've already base64'd
them so they're safe. To prevent this we explicitly convert to QString
afterwards.
* This is still accurate, what we're missing is "read data as int, then cast to
float" which is represented by setting 'floatCast' to true. A normalized cast
or interpret is accurately represented by saying the input is snorm/unorm
typed.
