* e.g. class instances only crazy people use, so there's no point to have
it eating up a ton of space when 99.9% of the time it's empty. Also
the border colour in samplers is only listed if the addressing is set to
use the border colour.
* I also collapsed down some of the columns to make it a little simpler
visually, like min lod/max lod become just "lod clamp" with a range, and
constant buffers simplified down to a couple of columns.
* When jumping between draws the tables are rebuilt which destroys any
vertical scrolling, so we save/restore it which means the same row will
be at the top of the view. If there are fewer resources it'll just be
as scrolled down as possible.
* 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 allows 'partial' rows in the mesh viewer, if a vertex input element
references invalid/out of bounds data, but the others are fine (coming
from different streams).
* This makes it easier for my auto build scripts (i.e. without xcopy use
I can run them from msysgit bash).
* pdblocate now has Profile32&Release32 vs Profile64&Release64. This was
the easiest way to do it as it has to be compiled in 32bit to interact
with DIA, but we want it copied to the solutions output folder (x64/...
or Win32/...)
* This way if someone updates their install without clicking the menu item
to clear this flag, it will still detect the update after a few days.
* (And when I forget to update which beta is latest, it will fix itself
eventually. Oops).
* This means that all APIs pass byte string types. ALL strings everywhere
in the entire codebase must be assumed to be and treated as UTF-8 content
not ASCII.
* Gets rid of all the horrible %hs specifiers that caused warnings on
linux! Hooray.
* We convert to wide strings, or use wide characters, only when necessary
to use the Win32 API. Some windows specific code will stay in wide chars
just for convenience.
* Files are already serialised as UTF-8 strings for linux/windows binary
compatibility, so this change doesn't break backwards compatibility.
* You can choose which component will be used as 'position' when rendering
vertex inputs. Helpful if a position component isn't auto-detected, or
if you want to render UV co-ordinates onto the screen.
* Instead of fixed TEXCOORD0/Color options for solid shading onto the mesh
you can choose a secondary column yourself.
* Also the solid shading options are available on vertex output meshes as
well as inputs.
* Crash report was submitted indicating a crash here, which is either
memory issues or momentarily crazy-large window. We can catch the
exception and just clear to black.
