* The UI will become non-functional and the backend will be replaced with a do-
nothing one that keeps things alive without needing error bulletproofing
everywhere in the real backend.
* This prevents unnecessary conversions back and forth between rdcstr and const
char * when going through interfaces. In the OS specific layer this is rarely
an issue because most of the implementations don't convert to rdcstr, but it
is convenient to be able to pass in an rdcstr directly. The few cases where
there's an unecessary construction of an rdcstr is acceptable.
* A couple of places in the public API need to return a string from a global
function, so can't return an rdcstr due to C ABI, so they still return a const
char *.
* Similarly const char * is kept for logging, to avoid a dependency on rdcstr
and because that's one place where unnecessary conversions/constructions may
be impactful.
* In particular make it clear that crashes caught in the injected program may or
may not be a RenderDoc bug. Even if we could point the finger to a particular
DLL we can't necessarily tie that DLL to the responsibility of either us or
the application.
* If the export doesn't need buffers, we export directly from the loaded
capture file instead of re-loading it.
* Add progress bars for the load step so it shows what's happening
instead of looking stalled.
* Reduce compression rate on XML+ZIP buffers as it took too long trying
to compress when exporting large captures.
* 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.
* The UI dialog is now in Qt. We run qrenderdoc.exe with a very minimal
startup to display the dialog and send the report.
* The flow has been simplified to have less text and an easier time to
just click through and send.
* On the first report, the user is gently nudged to enter their email
address for contact and by default the email is saved for next time.
They're not nagged more than once about this.
* Optionally the user can select to upload the capture. This is always
default off, and there is a confirmation dialog making sure the user
intended to select it.
* After the bug is reported, a unique URL is generated and returned
which the user can then click back on to see if there's any update. By
default the UI will also remember the URL and check it every couple
of days and alert the user in the help menu that there's an update.
