* The worst one was Persistant -> Persistent. This involved renaming
PersistentConfig but the impact of that is considered minimal enough to be
worth fixing.
* We enforce default and copy constructors where possible, this isn't very
pythonic but we can't use copy.deepcopy on our types.
* The structs that have specialised constructors e.g. FloatVector or Subresource
also have those documented though we have no way to enforce it.
* Python can't properly document fully independent overloads, only default-
parameter type overloads. Moving the tag to last as an optional parameter
means we can eliminate the different variants.
* For cleanliness in C++ code we make an internal variant that swaps the
parameters, since it is much cleaner to have a lambda callback as the last
parameter.
* This is necessary as they expect to be run on the UI thread, but can be
fetched from python scripts running on the python script thread. We block
invoke over to the UI and suspend python's GIL to avoid deadlocks.
* This doesn't cover all cases but helps with 'pythonic' cases where a list
returned from a function should be expected to be mutable. Modifying direct
'members' can still modify through const.
* In a previous update in 2021 many copyright ranges were truncated
accidentally, and some files have been copy-pasted with wrong years. These
dates have been fixed based on git history and original copyright messages.
* This shifts from reporting from the old style bindset/bind to the new system
of only referencing by shader interface and index (independent of binding
model).
* The vulkan shader debugger re-uses the replay interface to cache descriptor
access and descriptor contents in a fashion friendly to interface-index
lookup.
Output "ViewIndex" into the pixel shader hits array
Select the pixel shader input which matches the viewIndex to the passed in view
Ignore the view parameter if set to ~0U (rd.ReplayController.NoPreference)
Ignore the view parameter if any subpass has empty multiviews
* We store the compiler used (when known) in shader debug info and use that to
select the compiler for editing as even higher priority than the default for a
given language/encoding combination.
* We also ensure that for known tools we add the input and output parameters
last, after any custom parameters, so that they are always present regardless
of what the user puts in.
* We can't debug geometry shaders but we can scroll to them, as long as we have
the primitive. We can't differentiate instances currently without passing that
data through from the VS (and through tessellation, if it exists).
* This also disables the debug and goto buttons for printfs from shader stages
that don't support those operations.
* Unifying these views means that constant buffers have all the same
reformatting and it avoids having multiple paths for what is now effectively
the same control (a buffer can either have fixed data, repeating data, or
both)
* Most of the main entry points that can fail with relevant reasons now has a
way of specifying a message to return with it. This message can be displayed
to the user to give more information or context about an error.
* Newly written shaders and any updated shaders can now use pre-defined macros
to abstract away binding differences between APIs, so custom shaders will be
more portable in particular shaders written in HLSL for D3D or GLSL on OpenGL
won't break on vulkan because they refer to incorrect binds.
