* This will allow shifting to RenderMesh being run locally just by
the UI specifying the buffer and simple vertex specification, rather
than by relying on any local log properties (or replaying the log).
* The reasoning behind this change is that it becomes much simpler to
implement, rather than having to modify the draw to do what we want,
we just do an entirely custom draw based on a few properties - similar
to the texture rendering. This will help e.g. for writing a GL
implementation.
* The second benefit is that we can just transfer the buffer contents
across the network when replaying remotely, so mesh rendering can be
implemented even for remote replay - the last unimplemented feature.
* It could also be used similar to the image viewer in future, to
display mesh files.
* e.g. class instances only crazy people use, so there's no point to have
it eating up a ton of space when 99.9% of the time it's empty. Also
the border colour in samplers is only listed if the addressing is set to
use the border colour.
* I also collapsed down some of the columns to make it a little simpler
visually, like min lod/max lod become just "lod clamp" with a range, and
constant buffers simplified down to a couple of columns.
* 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).
* This means that all APIs pass byte string types. ALL strings everywhere
in the entire codebase must be assumed to be and treated as UTF-8 content
not ASCII.
* Gets rid of all the horrible %hs specifiers that caused warnings on
linux! Hooray.
* We convert to wide strings, or use wide characters, only when necessary
to use the Win32 API. Some windows specific code will stay in wide chars
just for convenience.
* Files are already serialised as UTF-8 strings for linux/windows binary
compatibility, so this change doesn't break backwards compatibility.
* 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.
* Has a couple of limitations - won't check deferred context or
NO_OVERWRITE Map()s except in a captured frame. This could in theory be
implemented but it'd be complex and I don't want to complicate/break
the normal path.
* When an overrun is detected, a messagebox pops up to block the thread,
and if you hit yes, it will debugbreak.
* 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 means when multiple fragments are writing to a pixel you can choose
precisely the one you want to debug, rather than the debugging always
running the approximately last fragment to pass
