Add COM interface IID as public const string

3

For example: ``` [Guid(ID2D1Factory.IIDString)] public struct ID2D1Factory : ID2D1Factory.Interface { public const string IIDString = "06152247-6F50-465A-9245-118BFD3B6007"; } ``` This would allow me to not need my own `const string` definitions...

We can keep track of things that can't really be solved in source, but can be flagged by an analyzer. - Incorrectly using `Unsafe.SizeOf()` or `Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(T))` on structs like `SHELLEXECUTEINFOW`....

Found these while experimenting with a generator for the `PUnknown` wrappers I was talking about on Discord. The assumption is that `[NativeInheritance("FOO")]` means that a `TerraFx.Interop.FOO` entity exists, retrievable via...

Add support for Direct2D Compute Shaders

Filing this for ... the future :) At some point I'll want to start dipping my toe into compute shaders so I can convert the remaining CPU-based effects in Paint.NET...

DirectWrite: `IDWriteTextLayout4` and `IDWriteFontFallback1` are missing documentation for all their methods

2

These are in the regular Windows SDK docs: `IDWriteTextLayout4`: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/dwrite_3/nn-dwrite_3-idwritetextlayout4 `IDWriteFontFallback1`: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/dwrite_3/nn-dwrite_3-idwritefontfallback1 These interfaces do have methods, but the documentation makes it look like they're empty. Over in the DWriteCore...

Looks like a new API in Windows 11 build 22000: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/comp_swapchain/comp-swapchain-portal > This API is the initial public release of the composition swapchain API. It allows applications using Composition APIs...

This appears to be a bug in how `fxc` / `D3DCompile` is parsing float literals, but the workaround seems easy enough. Link to ridiculously long Discord conversation: https://discord.com/channels/590611987420020747/996417435374714920/1216522083626913922 tl;dr: Float...
