* This seems way more reliable and smaller than shipping a compiled .dll
* For some reason I didn't find this method before (I only knew that
you could ship the loose files which wasn't a good solution).
* If hardware support for feature level 11 isn't present, fall back to
the WARP software rasterizer. This will support everything needed, but
it certainly won't run well.
* There are loud warnings - I added a debug message to the debug errors&
warnings window so the status bar will indicate that, and it's in the
title.
* At most once every 3 weeks there will also be a message box pop up
when loading a log, to remind the user so that it isn't forgotten, as
for obvious reasons this is not the intended use-case (hopefully once
per 3 weeks isn't too often to be annoying).
* Client code can enumerate the IDs of counters that are supported -
some of these will be general, some will be IHV specific. It can also
request descriptions of the counters to determine the type of data or
units. This can be used to 'discover' counters that aren't hard
coded into renderdoc. I'll want to at least reserve IHV ranges so that
counter IDs are globally unique, and ideally IHV counters will also be
predeclared where possible.
* Also the refactor removes some ugly rdctype::array use outside of the
replay layer and replaces it just with std::vector, which is a nice
bonus.
* This has been bugging me for ages, it's not a problem typically for users
as the config would be saved on shutdown, but if you're debugging
renderdoc and you kill the process (by stopping debugging) after loading
a log but before closing the program, the recent file wouldn't be saved!
* 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 is useful in e.g. a renderdoc-aware application that has voluntarily
injected renderdoc, and then wants to boot the UI to automatically open
up the management connection
* This means that e.g. decimal separator will always be . and similar
effects, which avoids the need to have culture specific formatting or
special-case handling around CSV export etc.
