As solution Vulkan-Hpp provides a template class `vk::Flags` which brings the standard operations like `&=`, `|=`, `&` and `|` to our scoped enums. Except for the initialization with 0 this class behaves exactly like a normal bitmask with the improvement that it is impossible to set bits not specified by the corresponding enum by accident. Here are a few examples for the bitmask handling:
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
vk::ImageUsageFlags iu1; // initialize a bitmask with no bit set

### Designated Initializers
|
||||
|
||||
Beginning with C++20, C++ supports designated initializers. As that feature requires to not have any user-declared or inherited constructors, you have to `#define VULKAN_HPP_NO_CONSTRUCTORS`, which removes all the structure and union constructors from vulkan.hpp. Instead you can then use aggregate initialization. The first few vk-lines in your source might then look like

Sometimes it is required to use `std::vector` with custom allocators. Vulkan-Hpp supports vectors with custom allocators as input for `vk::ArrayProxy` and for functions which do return a vector.

The Vulkan loader exposes only the Vulkan core functions and a limited number of extensions. To use Vulkan-Hpp with extensions it's required to have either a library which provides stubs to all used Vulkan functions or to tell Vulkan-Hpp to dispatch those functions pointers. Vulkan-Hpp provides a per-function dispatch mechanism by accepting a dispatch class as last parameter in each function call. The dispatch class must provide a callable type for each used Vulkan function. Vulkan-Hpp provides one implementation, ```DispatchLoaderDynamic```, which fetches all function pointers known to the library.

Creating a full featured `vk::DispatchLoaderDynamic` is a two- to three-step process, where you have three choices for the first step:
|
||||
1. Before any call into a vk-function you need to initialize the dynamic dispatcher by one of three methods
|
||||
- Let Vulkan-Hpp do all the work by internally using a little helper class `vk::DynamicLoader`:
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
VULKAN_HPP_DEFAULT_DISPATCHER.init();
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Use your own dynamic loader, which just needs to provide a templated function `getProcAddress` (compare with `vk::DynamicLoader` in vulkan.hpp):
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
YourDynamicLoader ydl;
|
||||
VULKAN_HPP_DEFAULT_DISPATCHER.init(ydl);
|
||||
```
|
||||
Note that you need to keep that dynamic loader object alive until after the last call to a vulkan function in your program. For example by making it static, or storing it somewhere globally.
|
||||
- Use your own initial function pointer of type PFN_vkGetInstanceProcAddr:
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
PFN_vkGetInstanceProcAddr vkGetInstanceProcAddr = your_own_function_pointer_getter();
|
||||
VULKAN_HPP_DEFAULT_DISPATCHER.init(vkGetInstanceProcAddr);
|
||||
```
|
||||
2. initialize it with a vk::Instance to get all the other function pointers:
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
vk::Instance instance = vk::createInstance({}, nullptr);
|
||||
VULKAN_HPP_DEFAULT_DISPATCHER.init(instance);

||||

|

|
||||
vk::raii goes one step further. In the vk namespace, most of the functions are members of `vk::Device`. In the vk::raii namespace functions strongly related to a non-dispatchable handle are members of the corresponding vi::raii object. For example, to bind memory to a buffer, in vk namespace you write
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// bind vk::DeviceMemory memory to a vk::Buffer buffer, given vk::DeviceSize memoryOffset
|

device.bindBufferMemory( buffer, memory, memoryOffset );

The very first step when using classes from the vk::raii namespace is to instantiate a `vk::raii::Context`. This class has no counterpart in either the vk namespace or the pure C-API of Vulkan. It is the handle to the few functions that are not bound to a `VkInstance` or a `VkDevice`:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// instantiate a vk::raii::Context
|
||||
vk::raii::Context context;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To use any of those "global" functions, your code would look like that:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// get the API version, using that context
|
||||
uint32_t apiVersion = context.enumerateInstanceVersion();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 01 Create a vk::raii::Instance
|
||||
|
||||
To pass that information on to a `vk::raii::Instance`, its constructor gets a reference to that `vk::raii::Context`:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// instantiate a vk::raii::Instance, given a vk::raii::Context context and a vk::InstanceCreateInfo instanceCreateInfo
|
||||
vk::raii::Instance instance( context, instanceCreateInfo );
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `vk::raii::Instance` now holds all the instance-related functions. For example, to get all the `vk::PhysicalDeviceGroupProperties` for an instance, your call would look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// get all vk::PhysicalDeviceGroupProperties from a vk::raii::Instance instance
|
||||
std::vector<vk::PhysicalDeviceGroupProperties> physicalDeviceGroupProperties = instance.enumeratePhysicalDeviceGroups();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 02 Enumerate the vk::raii::PhysicalDevices
|
||||
|
||||
Enumerating the physical devices of an instance is slightly different in vk::raii namespace as you might be used to from the vk-namespace or the pure C-API. As there might be multiple physical devices attached, you would instantiate a `vk::raii::PhysicalDevices` (note the trailing 's' here!), which essentially is a `std::vector` of `vk::raii::PhysicalDevice`s (note the trailing 's' here!):
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// enumerate the vk::raii::PhysicalDevices, given a vk::raii::Instance instance
|
||||
vk::raii::PhysicalDevices physicalDevices( instance );

As vk::raii::PhysicalDevices is just a `std::vector<vk::raii::PhysicalDevice>`, you can access any specific `vk::raii:PhysicalDevice` by indexing into that `std::vector`:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// get the vk::LayerProperties of the vk::raii::PhysicalDevice with index physicalDeviceIndex, given a vk::raii::PhysicalDevices physicalDevices
|
||||
std::vector<vk::LayerProperties> layerProperties = physicalDevices[physicalDeviceIndex].enumerateDeviceLayerProperties();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can as well get one `vk::raii::PhysicalDevice` out of a `vk::raii::PhysicalDevices` like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// get the vk::raii::PhysicalDevice with index physicalDeviceIndex, given a vk::raii::PhysicalDevices physicalDevices object:
|
||||
vk::raii::PhysicalDevice physicalDevice( std::move( physicalDevices[physicalDeviceIndex] ) );
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note, that even though the actual `VkPhysicalDevice` owned by a `vk::raii::PhysicalDevice` is not a destructible resource, for consistency reasons a `vk::raii::PhysicalDevice` is a movable but not copyable object just like all the other vk::raii objects.

To create a `vk::raii::Device`, you just instantiate an object of that class:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// create a vk::raii::Device, given a vk::raii::PhysicalDevice physicalDevice and a vk::DeviceCreateInfo deviceCreateInfo
|
||||
vk::raii::Device device( physicalDevice, deviceCreateInfo );
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For each instantiated `vk::raii::Device`, the device-specific Vulkan function pointers are resolved. That is, for multi-device programs, you automatically use the correct device-specific function pointers, and organizing a multi-device program is simplified:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// create a vk::raii::Device per vk::raii::PhysicalDevice, given a vk::raii::PhysicalDevices physicalDevices, and a corresponding array of vk::DeviceCreateInfo deviceCreateInfos
|
||||
std::vector<vk::raii::Device> devices;
|
||||
for ( size_t i = 0; i < physicalDevices.size(); i++ )
|
||||
{
|

devices.push_back( vk::raii::Device( physicalDevices[i], deviceCreateInfos[i] ) );
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 04 Create a vk::raii::CommandPool and vk::raii::CommandBuffers
|
||||
|
||||
Creating a `vk::raii::CommandPool` is simply done by instantiating such an object:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// create a vk::raii::CommandPool, given a vk::raii::Device device and a vk::CommandPoolCreateInfo commandPoolCreateInfo
|
||||
vk::raii::CommandPool commandPool( device, commandPoolCreateInfo );
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
As the number of `vk::raii::CommandBuffer`s to allocate from a `vk::raii::CommandPool` is given by the member `commandBufferCount` of a `vk::CommandBufferAllocateInfo` structure, it can't be instantiated as a single object. Instead you get a `vk::raii::CommandBuffers` (note the trailing 's' here!), which essentially is a `std::vector` of `vk::raii::CommandBuffer`s (note the trailing 's' here!).
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// create a vk::raii::CommandBuffers, given a vk::raii::Device device and a vk::CommandBufferAllocateInfo commandBufferAllocateInfo
|
||||
vk::raii::CommandBuffers commandBuffers( device, commandBufferAllocateInfo );
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note, that the `vk::CommandBufferAllocateInfo` holds a `vk::CommandPool` member `commandPool`. To assign that from a `vk::raii::CommandPool` you can use the `operator*()`:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// assign vk::CommandBufferAllocateInfo::commandPool, given a vk::raii::CommandPool commandPool
|
||||
commandBufferAllocateInfo.commandPool = *commandPool;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
As a `vk::raii::CommandBuffers` is just a `std::vector<vk::raii::CommandBuffer>`, you can access any specific `vk::raii:CommandBuffer` by indexing into that `std::vector`:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// start recording of the vk::raii::CommandBuffer with index commandBufferIndex, given a vk::raii::CommandBuffers commandBuffers
|
||||
commandBuffers[commandBufferIndex].begin();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can as well get one `vk::raii::CommandBuffer` out of a `vk::raii::CommandBuffers` like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// get the vk::raii::CommandBuffer with index commandBufferIndex, given a vk::raii::CommandBuffers commandBuffers
|
||||
vk::raii::CommandBuffer commandBuffer( std::move( commandBuffers[commandBufferIndex] ) );
|
||||
|
||||
// start recording
|
||||
commandBuffer.begin();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
There is one important thing to note, regarding command pool and command buffer handling. When you destroy a `VkCommandPool`, all `VkCommandBuffer`s allocated from that pool are implicitly freed. That automatism does not work well with the raii-approach. As the `vk::raii::CommandBuffers` are independent objects, they are not automatically destroyed when the `vk::raii::CommandPool` they are created from is destroyed. Instead, their destructor would try to use an invalid `vk::raii::CommandPool`, which obviously is an error.

||||

|
||||
vk::raii::SwapchainKHR swapchain( device, swapChainCreateInfo );
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can get an array of presentable images associated with that swap chain:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// get presentable images associated with vk::raii::SwapchainKHR swapchain
|
||||
std::vector<VkImage> images = swapchain.getImages();

### 06 Create a Depth Buffer
|
||||
|
||||
For a depth buffer, you need an image and some device memory and bind the memory to that image. That is, you first create a vk::raii::Image
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// create a vk::raii::Image image, given a vk::raii::Device device and a vk::ImageCreateInfo imageCreateInfo
|
||||
// imageCreateInfo.usage should hold vk::ImageUsageFlagBits::eDepthStencilAttachment
|
||||
vk::raii::Image depthImage( device, imageCreateInfo );
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To create the corresponding vk::raii::DeviceMemory, you should determine appropriate values for the vk::MemoryAllocateInfo. That is, get the memory requirements from the pDepthImage, and determine some memoryTypeIndex from the pPhysicalDevice's memory properties, requiring vk::MemoryPropertyFlagBits::eDeviceLocal.
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// get the vk::MemoryRequirements of the pDepthImage
|
||||
vk::MemoryRequirements memoryRequirements = depthImage.getMemoryRequirements();

|
||||
vk::raii::DeviceMemory depthDeviceMemory( device, memoryAllocateInfo );
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then you can bind the depth memory to the depth image
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// bind the pDepthMemory to the pDepthImage
|
||||
depthImage.bindMemory( *depthDeviceMemory, 0 );
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, you can create an image view on that depth buffer image
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// create a vk::raii::ImageView depthView, given a vk::ImageViewCreateInfo imageViewCreateInfo
|
||||
imageViewCreateInfo.image = *depthImage;

vk::raii::ImageView depthImageView( device, imageViewCreateInfo );

||||
```

||||
### 07 Create a Uniform Buffer
|
||||
|
||||
Initializing a uniform buffer is very similar to initializing a depth buffer as described above. You just instantiate a `vk::raii::Buffer` instead of a `vk::raii::Image`, and a `vk::raii::DeviceMemory`, and bind the memory to the buffer:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// create a vk::raii::Buffer, given a vk::raii::Device device and a vk::BufferCreateInfo bufferCreateInfo

||||
### 08 Create a vk::raii::PipelineLayout
|
||||
|
||||
To initialize a Pipeline Layout you just have to instantiate a `vk::raii::DescriptorSetLayout` and a `vk::raii::PipelineLayout` using that `vk::raii::DescriptorSetLayout`:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// create a vk::raii::DescriptorSetLayout, given a vk::raii::Device device and a vk::DescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo descriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo
|
||||
vk::raii::DescriptorSetLayout descriptorSetLayout( device, descriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo );

||||
Creating a `vk::raii::RenderPass` is pretty simple, given you already have a meaningful `vk::RenderPassCreateInfo`:

||||
```cpp

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Again, creating a `vk::raii::ShaderModule` is simple, given a `vk::ShaderModuleCreateInfo` with some meaningful code:

||||

||||
```cpp

||||
// create a vk::raii::ShaderModule, given a vk::raii::Device device and a vk::ShaderModuleCreateInfo shaderModuleCreateInfo

||||

||||

||||

### 13 Initialize a Vertex Buffer
|
||||
|
||||
To initialize a vertex buffer, you essentially have to combine some of the pieces described in the chapters before. First, you need to create a `vk::raii::Buffer` and a `vk::raii::DeviceMemory` and bind them:
|
||||
|
||||

||||
// create a vk::raii::Buffer vertexBuffer, given a vk::raii::Device device and some vertexData in host memory

||||
|
||||
Later on, you can bind that vertex buffer to a command buffer:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// bind a complete single vk::raii::Buffer vertexBuffer as a vertex buffer, given a vk::raii::CommandBuffer commandBuffer
|
||||

|
||||
```

||||
|
||||
### 14 Initialize a Graphics Pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
Initializing a graphics pipeline is not very raii-specific. Just instantiate it, provided you have a valid vk::GraphicsPipelineCreateInfo:

||||

||||
```cpp
|
||||
// create a vk::raii::Pipeline, given a vk::raii::Device device and a vk::GraphicsPipelineCreateInfo graphicsPipelineCreateInfo

To submit that command buffer to a `vk::raii::Queue` graphicsQueue you might want to use a `vk::raii::Fence`

||||
vk::PipelineStageFlags waitDestinationStageMask( vk::PipelineStageFlagBits::eColorAttachmentOutput );
|

vk::SubmitInfo submitInfo( *imageAcquiredSemaphore, waitDestinationStageMask, *commandBuffer );
|
||||
graphicsQueue.submit( submitInfo, *fence );
|
||||
```

while ( vk::Result::eTimeout == device.waitForFences( { *fence }, VK_TRUE, timeout ) )
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
vk::PresentInfoKHR presentInfoKHR( nullptr, *swapChain, imageIndex );
|
||||
result = presentQueue.presentKHR( presentInfoKHR );
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note here, again, that `result` can not only be `vk::Result::eSuccess`, but also `vk::Result::eSuboptimalKHR`, which should be handled accordingly.
