* This includes:
- Incorrect comparisons
- Missing type annotations where it can't be inferred
- Variable shadowing and bad use
- Unused imports
- asserts for non-None on types
* Passes clean on strict pyright checking except for
`reportMissingParameterType`, `reportUnusedVariable`, and
`reportOptionalMemberAccess` which are all too spammy and low value to be
worth addressing.
* These come from long ago when using PyCharm with not as good type checking and
with renderdoc module stubs that were incomplete so needed help identifying
types.
* assert is handled specially by the type checker so we don't want to have
duplicate self.check / assert
* The original reason for TestCase.check was to print the assertion message but
this can be handled by checking for the AssertionError exception
This is supported by OpenGL, and on Vulkan with
VK_EXT_primitive_topology_list_restart. On Vulkan, all drivers are
known to support this even without
VK_EXT_primitive_topology_list_restart. On D3D, primitive restart is
only supported for strip topologies.
Previously, RenderDoc specifically disabled primitive restart for
non-strip topologies. In this change, that is no longer done. If the
app enables primitive restart, so will RenderDoc behave accordingly. It
would be the responsibility of the app to avoid primitive restart if the
API doesn't allow it.
* There's not a good accepted terminology for this kind of event, and for
historical reasons 'drawcall' has been the accepted term, even though
that can be quite confusing when a dispatch or a copy is a 'drawcall'.
* This is particularly highlighted by the event browser filters where
$draw() includes draws and dispatches, but $dispatch() only includes
dispatches, it's hard to intuitively understand why $draw() matches all
of these calls.
* As a result we've defined the term 'action' to cover these types of
events in the same way that we defined 'event' in the first place to
mean a single atomic API call.
* It's not particularly scalable and can be brittle to driver changes, and we
can use targeted specific pixel tests to check what we really want - to see if
the output has rendered correctly.
* Overlay tests still check files directly - this is a future refactor to
remove.
