* 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.
* For very large shader symbol stores especially those on network drives, the
bad behaviour that PIX has to recursively search all possible subdirectories
and enumerate all files can be really slow. Most of the time a file is
identified by its hash filename and looked up directly - if that isn't a hit,
in many cases users would rather a fast exit to having no symbols.
spirv-cross defaults to 450 but will not parse shaders containing the RayQuery capability unless the version is set to 460.
This change modifies the built-in GLSL cross tool to set `--version 460`. This change does not affect user-specified spirv-cross configurations.
Used when fields are marked as being an Offset or Size
Include simple latch to trigger a UI refresh when closing the settings dialog.
Currently only connected to if the Offset/Size format option is altered
* This distinction unfortunately does not exist in SPIR-V so we have to carry
around this metadata ourselves. Rather than allowing free specification of
tools based on API, instead pretend that Vulkan and GL SPIR-V are separate
format, and duplicate all SPIR-V tools to handle "both" types. This allows
appropriate tool selection based on the encoding.
* 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.
* The current filter is preserved across runs even if it's not explicitly saved.
Saved filters are only updated with an explicit save - loading a filter then
making a change just cahnges the current scratch filter, it doesn't update the
saved filter until the user explicitly saves it.
* This is a string type which heavily optimises for immutability and minimal
storage. It only contains one pointer to the string data and always
reallocates on modify. For compile-time literals it doesn't modify or
allocate.
* On x64 we use the top bit in a tagged pointer to store a flag of whether it's
heap or literal, on other platforms it uses a separate field (meaning another
pointer sized value effectively, including padding).
* This is best for structured data which tends to use a lot of immutable strings
for type/name information, and only a few for actual string data (which are
only allocated once and aren't modified after that). Similarly we rarely want
to know only the size of any of these strings, we want the whole string so not
explicitly storing the size is not a big deal.
* Overall this reduces SDObject from 128 bytes to 80 bytes.
* This allows persistent config storage and registering tweak variables that
works independent of the UI's configuration.
* Config vars can be debug only, which means they will be compiled out in stable
version releases. This allows for debug-logging tweaks that are available in
all builds (including nightly builds) for diagnostic purposes, but have zero
overhead in stable releases.
* Variables have a loose hierarchy defined with _ or . to separate nodes.
* This lets the user override the default application font.
* Unfortunately Qt seems to behave inconsistently with font scaling from the
system, so we take the font size initially from QApplication::font() (which
doesn't always pick up the font size) and scale from there. While this might
cause some font scaling to be lost it does mean at least we have a consistent
scale, as otherwise you get some text scaling and others not.
* If the UI was launched with a filename as a parameter to open the capture, it
will be added to the recent capture file list. Only later (relatively
speaking) if we make a capture connection will we realise that it is temporary
and potentially delete the file. If we do so, remove the capture from the
recent file list.
* The defaults can be configured from the settings menu, and there's a new "Open
Capture with Options" menu option to open a capture with different options
temporarily.
* This allows RemoteHost handles to still be valid and usable (if returning
empty data) when they are deleted/removed if the device is disconnected, as
well as providing better multi-thread access (they lock internally)
* Instead of just configuring SPIR-V disassemblers and picking only the first
one when we need to edit SPIR-V, we allow setting up any shader processor that
goes between two shader encodings.
* When editing, the default will still be to use embedded source, and then after
that the first tool that goes from the native shader format to a text format,
but the drop-down allows you to pick any of them.
* Similarly in the shader viewer you can configure the compilation options and
method, to choose the compiler you want to use. Embedded command line
parameters in the shader are automatically appended.
* We don't consider anything else, this includes permissions or the
library being present. Since we no longer expect to patch in the
library we also don't check its version (however we leave the tag in
case it is useful in the future).
* If the user has root access we will never warn, assuming the injection
will work fine even without the debuggable flag.
* Initially add support for spirv-cross and spirv-dis.
* When possible we'll auto-detect the tools in path or in the build's
plugins folder. Otherwise the user can add it and add their
executable path.
* We still use the first disassembler for editing - in future it would
be good to allow selecting the disassembler at edit time (as well
as allowing multiple compilers).
* The main addition here apart from some extra stubs is a new rdc type
for date time objects.
* Although the module doesn't do anything and is only used for docs
reflection it is desirable to not have to link against Qt as this
can cause problems when linking the module without unresolved symbols.
* 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.
