* We also add the ability to toggle on/off the replacement being active without
needing to intentionally add a compile error (and this also makes it more
explicitly clear when the shader replacement is enabled or not. This could be
useful for quick A/B testing between the edited version and the original.
* We used to allow applications to call vkFlushMappedMemoryRanges on coherent
memory to manually annotate regions of memory that are changed in persistent
maps, thus avoiding the overhead of RenderDoc needing to check for changes on
each submit.
* Unfortunately this means that if the application calls flush wrongly then
changes will no longer appear, even though the application was completely
correct, if misleading, since by the spec behaviour vkFlushMappedMemoryRanges
is a no-op on coherent memory so incorrect calls to it make no difference.
* Since applications making use of this are rare or non-existant we just remove
the optimisation.
* This is a deliberate break of compatibility since the field is now often
empty, for non-markers. This means code will get a more explicit error when
the name is being referenced, so it can be updated to fetch the name it needs
as needed.
* There's not a good accepted terminology for this kind of event, and for
historical reasons 'drawcall' has been the accepted term, even though
that can be quite confusing when a dispatch or a copy is a 'drawcall'.
* This is particularly highlighted by the event browser filters where
$draw() includes draws and dispatches, but $dispatch() only includes
dispatches, it's hard to intuitively understand why $draw() matches all
of these calls.
* As a result we've defined the term 'action' to cover these types of
events in the same way that we defined 'event' in the first place to
mean a single atomic API call.
* These map more naturally to python tuples and are easier to wrap in and out.
* We also tidy up the FloatVecVal etc and standardise the members of
ShaderValue.
* Ideally we'd document every member unconditionally for best autocompletion,
but that's a lot of modification so for now we stick to just making sure that
any members that are struct types (or lists/tuples) have the :type:
declaration so that we can autocomplete inside them.
* Also added a script that can run as part of CI to verify that the docstring
matches, by generating a regex from the docstring documented parameter types
and return type and making sure we find a match within the C headers. This
ensures all parameters are documented with the right types, no extra
parameters are documented, and the return type is correct.
* The script also checks proper scoping so that if qrenderdoc docstrings
mention a renderdoc type, they need to scope it properly.
* One automodule in a file for our modules is way too much, so we split it into
files. Unfortunately this means that only one file can have those classes and
functions be linkable from elsewhere.
* Instead we bite the bullet and manually curate the items into pages, and at
the same time subdivide the 'enums and data' page more which is a general
readability and usability win as well.
* We also add some previously not-included functions, and add a doc-build time
check to ensure that functions and classes aren't omitted from the
documentation in future
