feat: Visual Studio DirectX-QuickCompile profile

[divinity76]

Made a "DirectX-QuickCompile" profile for Visual Studio.
Sometimes I just want to compile fast, and don't need the compiler optimizations.

With this, on my Ryzen 9 7950X:
DirectX build from scratch: 50 seconds
DirectX incremental build: N/A
DirectX-QuickCompile from scratch: 20 seconds
DirectX-QuickCompile incremental: 16 seconds

On my Zap-hosting VPS (4 cores Xeon E5-2640v4):
DirectX build from scratch: 8 minutes
DirectX incremental build: N/A
DirectX-QuickCompile from scratch: 3 minutes
DirectX-QuickCompile incremental: 2 minutes

(PS, incremental build is not 100% incremental, some files from vcpkg gets compiled every time, don't know why)

Also my Zap-Hosting VPS does not have a GPU, runs on the "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter", where both the OpenGL and debug crash on startup, so OpenGL is not an alternative for me atm.

So you need to clone the debug profile, rename it to debug - opengl, and in the clone, add the flags to compile in DirectX and rename it to debug - dx.

If the profile you created is already a clone of the debug profile, then just keep the same naming convention.

@mehah for me to get a functional debug client? yes that should work, thanks.

But regardless, I want a DirectX-QuickCompile profile. And if the upstream mehah/otclient has a QuickCompile profile, I won't have to mess with gitignore for a customized vc17/otclient.sln and vc17/otclient.vcxproj

• would make it slightly easier for me to contribute if the upstream vc17/otclient.sln has a QuickCompile profile.

You are mixing concepts. If the goal is to compile without optimizations, what you want is the Debug mode. Debug mode disables compiler optimizations, which is exactly what we are already doing. However, the current debugger uses OpenGL. What I am asking is: clone the Debug profile and apply the DirectX flags so that the Debug build runs via EGL on DirectX.

Oh now I see. Would you be interested in a PR changing the Debug profile into "Debug-OpenGL" + "Debug-DirectX" ?

The idea is for you to copy the debug configuration, add the DirectX flags, and rename it to debug-dx and the old one to debug-gl.
