* This is a deliberate break of compatibility since the field is now often
empty, for non-markers. This means code will get a more explicit error when
the name is being referenced, so it can be updated to fetch the name it needs
as needed.
* 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.
* Most remote replay links are slow enough that the lag introduced by
synchronously fetching and displaying these thumbnails would be annoying for
simple mouse-over scenarios.
* If there would be no tooltip otherwise, it just shows the thumbnail. Otherwise
any tooltip text (like view parameters or image layout) is displayed below the
thumbnail
* If we default to D3D11 at construction time, if we have persist data (very
likely) and it's for another API then we'll have to destroy the D3D11 viewer
and recreate the other API's viewer.
* 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.
* Mostly moving includes from common headers to cpp where possible, and removing
includes of the whole thing where only enums or rdcstr etc are needed.
* 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.
* We also fix a number of issues that could cause incorrect formats to be
generated.
* Test cases added for D3D11/GL/Vulkan to test different struct types. These
aren't automated at the moment because most of the code they're testing is in
the UI itself.
* For D3D11 byte offsets are always uint32 aligned, but for other APIs that's
not guaranteed. Storing a byte offset is strictly more expressive and a lot
simpler to reason about.
* We handle 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4:2:0, with packed, 2-plane and 3-plane formats,
for 8, 10, 12, and 16 bit depths.
* This covers most common formats but still leaves a few out - NV11, palettised
formats, V208/V408 JPG formats.
* 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.
* This means e.g. the D3D11 back-end can accept DXBC directly if the UI can
provide it, or compile from HLSL as before.
* More importantly, the Vulkan back-end can take SPIR-V compiled from any
source, or compile from GLSL as before as a fall-back.
