Windows SDK sample doesn't work under Parallels 13.3.2 (on Mac)

[kjk]

This is from SDK 0.9 I tried to run Browser sample on win10 under parallels.

It complains about not being able to create a texture and then crashes.

void GPUDriverD3D11::CreateTexture(uint32_t texture_id,
  Ref<Bitmap> bitmap) {

...

 if (FAILED(hr)) {
    MessageBox(nullptr,
      L"GPUDriverD3D11::CreateTexture, unable to create texture.", L"Error", MB_OK);
  }

	Name	Value	Type
	hr	E_INVALIDARG One or more arguments are invalid.	HRESULT
texture_entry	(0x0000000000000000 , 0x0000000000000000 )	std::pair<Microsoft::WRL::ComPtr,Microsoft::WRL::ComPtr > &
	texture_id	1	unsigned int

Here's the debug output:

A quick glance at this Parallels KB article (updated last year so might be out of date) states that Parallels on macOS only supports DirectX 10.1 at this time.

The app framework code on Windows currently uses DirectX 11.1-- I haven't yet ported to other DirectX versions but I've created a new issue (see #20) to add DX10 support.

The library now supports pure-CPU rendering for environments with limited/no GPU, (see Config::use_gpu_renderer and the new Surface API in trunk).
