* GPU: D3D12: Missing WinPixEventRuntime.dll now logs warning at device creation time.
* GPU: D3D12: Debug label functions are now a no-op when WinPixEventRuntime.dll is missing.
* Docs: GPU: Debug function documentation now notes WinPixEventRuntime.dll is required under D3D12.
This prevents validation errors on D3D12 caused by the previous solution
that utilized internal D3D12 functions. This is still the fallback
solution if WinPixEventRuntime.dll is not present in PATH, but a warning
is printed to let you know how to fix these errors.
When the upload needs realignment, a new buffer is created to do the
upload, and the source data is copied to the new buffer. This commit
fixes the issue where the memcopy can read off the end of the source
buffer since it is reading based on destination pitch instead of source
pitch.
When descriptor leaks overflow, the D3D12 SDL GPU renderer fetches more from the pool, but never returns them, which eventually causes an "out of memory" crash.
We previously thought this wasn't possible because constant buffer offsets and
partial updates were unavailable, but we were reading the wrong table - this is
only the case for D3D11...

... while 12 doesn't list this feature at all:

We double checked and Jesse Natalie confirmed that this feature is required for
D3D12 even for 11_0 drivers. (Thanks Jesse!)
Additionally, D3D12 requires that UAVs are accessible from all shader stages,
meaning Tier 2 is enough to support the number of UAVs we need. Tier 1 could be
a property to lower the requirements, but that can be done later.
For a depth buffer in D3D12 that is also going to be used in a texture sampler, the creation (on an Intel HD 5500 igpu) fails. e.g. SDL_GPUTextureCreateInfo type = TEXTURE_2D, format = D32_FLOAT, usage = DEPTH_STENCIL_TARGET | SAMPLER
The error messages are:
D32_FLOAT
D3D12 ERROR: ID3D12Device::CreateShaderResourceView: The Format (0x29, R32_FLOAT) is invalid when creating a View; the
Resource was already created with a fully qualified Format, which is not castable (0x28, D32_FLOAT).
D24_UNORM
D3D12 ERROR: ID3D12Device::CreateShaderResourceView: For the resource format D24_UNORM_S8_UINT, when making a D3D view, the format name for the view can't be R24_UNORM_X8_TYPELESS.
I found this is because the texture format needs to be created as _TYPELESS, then the views (depth stencil view, shader resource view) should then be created as their respective types - e.g. texture = R32_TYPELESS, dsv = D32_FLOAT, srv = R32_FLOAT
Tested and working on:
NVidia RTX 3050 (D3D12 feature set 12_2)
Intel HD 5500 (D3D12 feature set 11_1)
We may want to extend this with additional properties in the future.
Also removed SDL_PROP_GPU_DEVICE_DEBUG_VULKAN_CONFORMANCE_STRING. If we need feature level queries we can add them in the future.
Since there is no option to change it this seems like a much better default value. The stretching behaviour is really off-putting.
The new behavior shows a small black border when resizing the windows. This makes it more in line with the other backends and it's what you would expect to happen as a user.
