* We also fix a number of issues that could cause incorrect formats to be
generated.
* Test cases added for D3D11/GL/Vulkan to test different struct types. These
aren't automated at the moment because most of the code they're testing is in
the UI itself.
* This is the only way in GL to do rendering from one mip to another. We handle
it and display the whole texture even if it's temporarily constricted, and
display the mip state in the pipeline viewer.
* If the mip state is constricted at the start of the frame capture, only mips
0..MAX will be visible at all and other mips will be assumed to not be valid.
* This isn't relevant for Vulkan, but in GL it's valid to not specify a binding
and fetch it at runtime (and even if a binding is specified, it's not
immutable and can be changed).
* Similarly GL allows bare uniforms that aren't in a buffer, which we handle in
the same way by wrapping them into a $Globals UBO.
* Using the row index is not accurate when some input attributes are disabled,
because they won't match up to the original index in the attributes list.
* Instead of just configuring SPIR-V disassemblers and picking only the first
one when we need to edit SPIR-V, we allow setting up any shader processor that
goes between two shader encodings.
* When editing, the default will still be to use embedded source, and then after
that the first tool that goes from the native shader format to a text format,
but the drop-down allows you to pick any of them.
* Similarly in the shader viewer you can configure the compilation options and
method, to choose the compiler you want to use. Embedded command line
parameters in the shader are automatically appended.
* This means e.g. the D3D11 back-end can accept DXBC directly if the UI can
provide it, or compile from HLSL as before.
* More importantly, the Vulkan back-end can take SPIR-V compiled from any
source, or compile from GLSL as before as a fall-back.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* There was no good reason to have a flag indicating if the special
format was valid or not. Now it's a single enum, with a value
'Regular' indicating that the compCount/compWidth/compType fully
describe the format itself.
* This makes code patterns easier as you no longer need to check for
special then check for specialFormat, you can just test the type
directly.
