Integration with tracy_client

[cwfitzgerald]

Now that tracy has proper C api support for GPU timestamps, it would be a great extension to this library to offer a tracy feature where the timestamps collected by wgpu-profiler are reported to tracy.

I am planning on working on this in a while but I wanted to clear it with you before I did.

This would be very useful IMO. I assume this will involve addressing the implementation in tracy_client first nagisa/rust_tracy_client#19?

[cwfitzgerald]

We shouldn't have to. That is basically an implementation of vulkan query set management like wgpu-profiler does. We just would need to build a simple rust interface to the __tracy_emit_gpu* functions in tracy_client and then bind to that from here.

Just depends on nagisa/rust_tracy_client#39 (which I see you've already saw)

I actually think I might hack on this tomorrow.

Oh, I assumed this is what the issue I linked meant (i.e. exposing this simple interface at the tracy_client level).

[cwfitzgerald]

Yeah that issue is for the actual implementation on top of vulkan, like tracy has natively for all the apis.
