* We instead always have 3rdparty/ in the relevant include search paths and rely
on that. Each library still has its own unique base dir within 3rdparty to
clarify where the include is coming from.
* Previously we had "Frame X" and "Start of Frame" hardcoded in the event
browser, and the end of frame was in many cases assumed to be a present call.
However with the in-application API this is not necessarily true.
* Presents are now serialised separately in all APIs and displayed wherever they
happen in the frame, and if there is no present at the end of the frame an
"End of Capture" marker is inserted. Similarly API-defined captures are not
given a potentially misleading frame number.
* This allows us to add rich text support much more easily into other itemviews
like RDTableView.
* We set it up for debug messages so that resource links in debug messages can
be linked.
* The event browser called SetEventID from OnCaptureLoaded, which would then
call OnEventChanged on all viewers, which if they kicked off work could happen
at the same time as the later call to OpCaptureLoaded for them.
* In the mesh viewer this seemed to lead to a race condition and had a chance to
corrupt memory.
* When selecting a marker region, the more intuitive search is to find children
of the marker first before searching onwards, even if the 'current event' is
at the end of the marker region.
* The GUIInvoke object takes a QObject, and uses QPointer to check that
it hasn't been deleted when the callback fires. This prevents delayed
callbacks from executing after the object has been deleted and
crashing.
* In most cases the pointer is just 'this'.
* 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.
* This is to support python bindings - the pyside implementation of
QVector, QString, etc is not available to SWIG, so SWIG treates these
all as opaque types.
* Rather than trying to set up bindings that work for rdcarray and
QList/QVector, or implementing separate bindings, we instead just say
that the public interface must use the rdc types. In most cases they
seamlessly convert to/from Qt types anyway.
* In a couple of places we use an array of pairs instead of a map. In
future we probably want an rdcdict or rdcmap with proper dict bindings
in python.
* This is a *very* light-touch analytics system that will track the
simplest and most anonymous statistics that can be useful in
determining which features are most used or perhaps underused, and
where it's best to direct development attention.
* It is entirely implemented in the UI layer, no analytics-gathering
code exists in the library that's injected into programs, and of
course no capture data (screenshots, resource contents, shaders, etc
etc) is transmitted.
* Once it's turned on, it will apply to both development and release
builds. It tracks stats over a month, and then at the beginning of a
new month it sends the previous data.
* When the user first starts up a build with analytics if there's no
previous analytics database then they are informed of the new code and
asked to approve it. They have the option of selecting to manually
verify any sent reports, or just opt-ing out entirely.
* This prevents leaking for cases where new widgets are created (and
the small chance a widget pointer could be re-used and cause serious
problems), and multiple-registration errors for global shortcuts.
* This is a leftover from before the interface was hoisted out, and most
windows were still calling directly to CaptureContext instead of via
the public ICaptureContext interface
* Log is an overloaded term since it can also mean the debug log. We now
consistently refer to capture files as capture files or just captures
for short. The log is just for log messages and diagnostics.
* The user-facing UI was mostly already consistent, but many of the
public interfaces exposed to python needed to be renamed, and it made
more sense just to make everything consistent.
* Since these types are more prevalent than originally designed, it
makes more sense to remove the namespace for ease of typing/naming.
* Also add a specialised type 'bytebuf' for an array of bytes.
* This makes mapping easier to SWIG since there's no special casing for
namespaced arrays. Especially so for nested cases like
rdctype::array<rdctype::str> -> rdcarray<rdcstr>
* For the most part the interface is stl-compatible, but we have a few
little changes of our own for convenience.
* This class is still needed after deleting the C# UI, because we don't
want to pass C++ stl structs over module boundaries and possibly run
into hard to diagnose incompatibilities.
* QShortcut falls down on duplicates. It can have activatedAmbiguously
events, but these happen in arbitrary order and the shortcuts on
menu items just swallow the ambiguous activate so it's not useful.
* Instead we just let MainWindow pick up ShortcutOverride events and
consult a mapping of which shortcuts to use. We can use a smarter
selection method to choose the more 'local' shortcut if two shortcuts
that conflict exist.
* Annoyingly although Qt has an internal bool allowUserMoveOfSection0
which does exactly what we want allowing the tree column to be
movable, we can't enable it because it's private. So instead we have
to re-implement section moving ourselves.
* Minor tweak - also made RDTreeWidgets non-movable by default since
usually we don't want to allow it.
* When we add it, if a log is already open that's when we get the
callback to OnLogFileOpened to initialised. If we close afterwards,
we'll be in an inconsistent state.
