ID3D12Object::SetName method (d3d12.h)
Associates a name with the device object. This name is for use in debug diagnostics and tools.
Syntax
HRESULT SetName(
[in] LPCWSTR Name
);
Parameters
[in] Name
Type: LPCWSTR
A NULL-terminated UNICODE string that contains the name to associate with the device object.
Return value
Type: HRESULT
This method returns one of the Direct3D 12 Return Codes.
Remarks
This method takes UNICODE names.
Note that this is simply a convenience wrapper around ID3D12Object::SetPrivateData with WKPDID_D3DDebugObjectNameW.
Therefore names which are set with SetName can be retrieved with ID3D12Object::GetPrivateData with the same GUID.
Additionally, D3D12 supports narrow strings for names, using the WKPDID_D3DDebugObjectName GUID directly instead.
