* This way it can be used from Qt or any other UI as well.
* The pipes are created internally and just passed as stdin to the
renderdoccmd processes instead of being named pipes.
* This allows better identification of a shader from its reflection
bundle. The entry point was already 'optionally' in the debug info
struct which is no longer a great location for it.
* For APIs where the entry point isn't contractual and it might not be
listed, instead we just fall back to 'main'. This means that the UI
or anyone fetching the info can be guaranteed that some sensible entry
point will be listed.
* Also for the debug info, remove the 'entryFile' index and instead just
guarantee that as much as possible the entry point will be in the
first file in the list.
* We forward a different range of ports to each device so we can pick
and choose which to communicate with based on its index.
* The index is encoded in the 'hostname' like so: adb:X:deviceidhere
* Whenever we want to interact with an android device we always specify
the device, never leave it to a default.
* In python it's not as quick to get ~0U since ints aren't unsigned or
fixed size. Adding named constants makes it easier for people to use
the right values, and C++ users can still pass ~0U.
* Generally this means removing ref out parameters and instead returning
values. In a couple of cases we will want to avoid copies in future
either by returning const references (e.g. to the pipeline state which
is immutable).
* At the same time, some pointless bool return values that were always
true and didn't indicate errors have been removed. They can be added
again if an error condition comes back.
* Some free functions still have out parameters as C linkage doesn't
allow returning user types by value.
* The C# UI still invokes into C wrappers for all the C++ classes, which
handle taking the return value and doing a copy into an out parameter
still for compatibility.
* Things like addressing modes, stencil operations, and other things the
UI didn't need to know about previously were only exposed as string
values to be passed through and displayed.
* Now we describe these with enums so the API can be properly
introspected and used by consumers that might want to know the actual
values of these states.
* This gives a little nicer syntax, a bit better type safety, and also
reflects better for SWIG bindings. Overall it's a minor change but
better.
* We don't update the C# UI at all, since it's soon to be removed and
not worth the effort/code churn.
* For now so we're ABI compatible with C#, all enums are uint32_t, but
that is an obvious optimisation in future to reduce struct packing.
* We avoid 'None' as an enum value, because it's a reserved word in
python so will cause problems generating bindings.
- ShaderDebugState now carries a 'flags' that can be updated when the interpreter is run. Currently supported flags are 'sample/load/gather insn' or 'insn generated nan/inf'.
- DXBC interpreter now pushes operation type into results for simple intrinsics. This avoids the situation where temp decls are by default uint-typed, and any arithmetic operation on float or double operands would result in a uint shader variable. Other intrinsics are largely correct because they create temporaries with appropriate typed constructors.
- Provide icons for user interface elements, based on the existing 'run to' icons with modifications by myself.
* DDS will always save the format entirely literally, and the float
formats do not support alpha processing currently.
* TGA and PNG will either discard the alpha and write entirely opaque,
or they'll include it in the file. Blending to colour or checkerboard
is not supported.
* By renaming the renderdoc and renderdoccmd projects to something else
(say 'selfhost' and 'selfhostcmd') then they can be used to capture
renderdocui and the replaying that's happening.
* Only supported on development builds and might break down, but it's
handy to have as an easy to enable option.
* There's also a couple of handy python functions exposed -
renderdoc.StaticExports.StartSelfHostCapture(string dllname)
renderdoc.StaticExports.EndSelfHostCapture(string dllname)
which can be used to start and stop the capture around e.g. a shader
debug operation or a pixel history operation or something similar.
* This also fixes the problem of capturing 32-bit programs with 64-bit
RenderDoc failing to properly insert environment variables and
error'ing when it tries to do it directly.
