Because in 32-bit Vulkan-handles are integers, the assignment from
nullptr is not valid and doesn't compile. VK_NULL_HANDLE on the other
hand abstracts the differences between 32- and 64-bit environments.
- CommandData now holds it's full function name (without "vk") and it's reduced function name (used as member function name);
- CommandData now holds the name of the owning handle (class), if it is owned by one;
- EnumData now holds the name of that enum;
- for consistency reasons, "Arguments" have been renamed to "Params"
- some functions have been changed to output to std::ostream (instead of std::ofstream), to detect and filter equal function bodies for enhanced/non-enhanced mode;
- changed some functions to use std::algorithms and lambdas instead of explicit loops
- add some forward declaration support to resolve (direct) circular dependencies
- check on multiple output arguments of functions, using none then
- add "protect" support on handles
- correct type determination on "const Type* const*"
For functions that would return a vector of stuff, a singular version is introduced returning just on stuff.
Currently, that's just createGraphicsPipeline, createComputePipeline, and createSharedSwapchainKHR.
- no accessor functions to those members any more, but just direct access to them available;
- modified "named parameter idiom" to use setter-functions with the prefix "set", continuing with an uppercase letter;
- If the C++11 feature "unrestricted unions" is not supported, unions may hold the native vulkan datatypes, instead of those from the vk-namespace (in fact, it's just the vk::ClearValue that needs handling here). For clang, gcc, and MSVC compiler, the support of/version supporting this feature is checked; for other compilers, you need to check on your own and define VK_CPP_HAS_UNRESTRICTED_UNIONS if appropriate.
Introduce helper class vk::ArrayProxy.
replaces std::vector and std::initializers_list replacements of pairs of (count, [const] T*) in the enhanced interface, resulting in fewer function overloads.
has constructors for T, (count, [const] T*), std::array<[const]T,N>, std::vector<[const]T], and std::initializer_list.
- replaces pairs of (count, [const] T*) in the enhanced interface
- has constructor for single T, (count, [const] T*), std::array<[const]T,N>, std::vector<[const]T], and std::initializer_list<const T>.
- to_string of empty enums return "(void)", instead of empty string
- to_string of undefined enum value return "invalid", instead of "unknown"
- to_string of Flags of empty Enums or Flags with no bit set return "{}", instead of empty string
- to_string of Flags embraces the flags with "{", "}"
- all typedefs are replaced with using expressions
- Enable enhanced mode by default, use VKCPP_DISABLE_ENHANCED_MODE to disable it
- Rename vk_cpp.h to vk_cpp.hpp to be more standard-conform with regards to naming
- Automatically use vk.xml from submodule if no other file has be specified
- Generate header in vulkand folder to avoid copying the file after generating it
- Catch exceptions in generator
