C++ 3D DirectX Tutorial [Debug Layer Diagnostics]

C++ 3D game programming tutorial teaching how to build a 3D engine from scratch using DirectX (Direct3D 11) to leverage hardware acceleration.

This video covers handling and reporting of Direct3D errors with rich debug diagnostics.

Chili, Thanks for inspring me dude. I have applied to several universities after learning C++ through your tutorials. You're doing an awesome job, keep the videos coming!

[kebluetugirafee]

Oh, Chili, you' re the first one I saw online that uses so many C++ Exception in practice, particularly in 3D Graphics. Very "Fresh". Ps: I had been using OpenGL + Console + Log for error checking.

[andreyprotsenko]

For c++17 you could use if-init pattern to omit 'HRESULT hr' creation in every function you want to use GFX_THROW_FAILED. So much awesome tutorials! Thank you!

Chili is a debug master~ Thanks Chili~

Even a history lesson?! Chili is the teacher I never had

This is some really sick shit man. I love the exception handling that you went over in this video. The macros are indeed super sexy, probably needs a NSFW tag ; ). One thing I feel dirty about is copy pasta a little overboard on my end. I never would have developed a sophisticated debug wrapper as you have, and feel a little shame taking the source code. But this is an immensely great video tutorial line, and you deserve much props my chili man.

The second GFX_THROW_INFO test at the end where you change pBackBuffer to nullptr causes visual studio to cry about unhandled exception for some reason, anyone got an idea of why this is?

[pramodbhandari]

Something I didn't understand is why didn't you inherit ChiliException directly. What benefits adding a mediator class?
Great tutes btw!!! Love your work.

Oh no, don't tell me I have to do more modifications because of UNICODE. I already modified many things to work with both ANSI and UNICODE and drove me crazy.

when i run, exception error present well, but not Excepted error : in deque, _Pnext is 0x4 and program crashed, how can i fix it?

[mashedpotato]

I have tried to make this work all week. I looked through the files on GitHub and probably watched this video 3 or 4 times, but I still get the default Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Error messages. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

[kingcobra]

This literally gave me 800+ errors lol, probably because of version compatibility. Are there any more up to date resources on error handling with this?

[brunopadula]

The Macro MAKELANGID is deprecated in VS2019, is there a replacement?
BTW Great Videos. Learned a lot. Thank you

[razerx]

Ahh, late comment but HrException constructor takes 4 arguments and you provided 3 in your release mode macros. Won't that be a problem? In my version I made 2 different constructors, 1 takes 3 arguments and 1 takes 4. Idk if you have changed that in later videos though. Also the macro names are super confusing. Other than that, great video and series.

I like your voice and mic at your first videos

[MightTower]

In DxgiInfoManager.h std::string is used without including it (correct me if I am wrong). How is this possible?

[supuo]

When I change sd.OutputWindow = (HWND)696969, besides the GFX exception, there is another exception in Mouse::OnMouseMove() -> Mouse::TrimBuffer() -> deque::pop_font() -> deque::_Orphan_off(). How does it happen? Need help, thank you!

Hello there,
I got a problem with the dxerr.cpp file. It say that at the line 169, the function DXGetErrorDescriptionA, use non-conform local function. It also throw a C1075, it say that '{' matching token not found. And when I open DXGetErrorDescription.inl, it throw 304 errors in tolal. (I copied all the file dirrectly from the github)

[mateuscaracciolo]

Someone know a way to the HRESULT error string (Macro name) without use of DXGetErrorStringg. I'm using windows 10, so I don't want to use the dxerr version of he video and only the Format Message style.
