* Unifying these views means that constant buffers have all the same
reformatting and it avoids having multiple paths for what is now effectively
the same control (a buffer can either have fixed data, repeating data, or
both)
- Add a new combo box and button to camera settings for mesh viewer
- Add a new dialog window for custom axis mappings
- Implement the axis mappings in gl driver (other drivers to come)
In some cases it is easier to know the dispatch thread ID you want to
debug rather than the group/thread IDs. This change adds a new window
when the debug button is clicked, to allow you to specify which thread
to debug in the most convenient way.
* We split stepping for source debugging into step over/into/out depending on
how it handles function calls. Step Into is the same behaviour as before - it
steps to the next source line executed regardless of if it's inside a function
call. Step Over is similar but will not enter function calls. We define that
as the callstack growing (so staying the same or shrinking - returning from a
function - is OK), and this is as accurate as the underlying debug
information. Step Out will run until the callstack shrinks, i.e. returning
from a function.
* This is a slight behaviour change of keyboard shortcuts - F10 was effectively
doing step into and will now step over. F11 will step into which is the old
behaviour.
* All these variants have backwards versions, and to remain consistent we keep
the shift modifier as forwards/backwards. This differs from visal studio where
step out is shift-F10.
* The seems like the best balance - using any other variant would likely confuse
muscle memory of anyone used to visual studio (where these shortcuts are
intended to mimick), if only because F10 would be step into whether or not F11
is used for step over or some other key which would likely be even more
confusing either way. Trying to twist to use Shift-F10 for step out would be
inconsistent with the other backwards running operations and likely cause more
confusion than it saves in matching VS's shortcuts exactly. Also an accidental
Shift-F10 is not too destructive, the user can realise it didn't Step Out
forwards, and press Ctrl-F10 or look up the button.
* The hope is that most likely people doing source debugging and familiar with
these keys expect F10 to step over, so the previous behaviour was unexpected
but easy to work around, and that changing the meaning of the key won't
disrupt them. Or at least the disruption is less than other alternatives.
* This prevents unnecessary conversions back and forth between rdcstr and const
char * when going through interfaces. In the OS specific layer this is rarely
an issue because most of the implementations don't convert to rdcstr, but it
is convenient to be able to pass in an rdcstr directly. The few cases where
there's an unecessary construction of an rdcstr is acceptable.
* A couple of places in the public API need to return a string from a global
function, so can't return an rdcstr due to C ABI, so they still return a const
char *.
* Similarly const char * is kept for logging, to avoid a dependency on rdcstr
and because that's one place where unnecessary conversions/constructions may
be impactful.
* This by no means replaces PySide2, but it allows python extensions to write
simple UIs without needing to rely on PySide2, which might not be available
(generally all windows builds have it as well as recent binary linux builds,
but local windows builds may not and most linux builds probably won't).
* When the pyside2 we ship was built it accidentally included a small dependency
on Qt5Qml, which we don't distribute so the pyside2 libraries wouldn't load.
* We can generate a tiny stub with the right exports and load it manually from
the PySide2 folder on 32-bit qrenderdoc builds to allow pyside2 to load
subsequently. The stub source is tiny, and added alongside.
* Putting it in the PySide2 folder means that even if someone puts RenderDoc's
build folder in their PATH, our stub Qt5Qml won't break anything because it
won't be loaded. If they put PySide2 in the PATH it might, but then it's their
fault!
* This allows persistent config storage and registering tweak variables that
works independent of the UI's configuration.
* Config vars can be debug only, which means they will be compiled out in stable
version releases. This allows for debug-logging tweaks that are available in
all builds (including nightly builds) for diagnostic purposes, but have zero
overhead in stable releases.
* Variables have a loose hierarchy defined with _ or . to separate nodes.
* 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.
* The defaults can be configured from the settings menu, and there's a new "Open
Capture with Options" menu option to open a capture with different options
temporarily.
* 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 is a bit less ambiguous and less confusing in the case where
someone is expecting a "compile" type button instead of "save changes"
type button.
