This was mentioned in reply #718 (review)

PR adds two examples regarding instance extras:

  • Using DXC(over FXC) on Windows, includes a script to download the required library files.
  • Debugging using a graphics debugger like RenderDoc, includes a portable variant with a .cap file: works when your OS is setup to open .cap file with RenderDoc. Adds annotation and labels to the cube example.
  • documents the function in docs.

todos:

  • insert debug markers for the example
  • add labels to the example so they show up during debugging
  • fix more typos
  • add hyperlinks to other parts of the docs
  • update guide docs debug section?
  • file issue with Dxc not using debug flags in wgpu-core (perhaps in v26?) ref: unable to get debug flags with Dxc gfx-rs/wgpu-native#487
  • resolve arch, if needed?

while renderdoc has a python api, it's complex to build and package with modern python versions. So this might look like a workaround but I feel like that is actually quite convenient to use... making it work on linux sounds plausible.
