Project setup</h1>
|
|
<p>Vulkan Memory Allocator comes in form of a single header file. You don't need to build it as a separate library project. You can add this file directly to your project and submit it to code repository next to your other source files.</p>
|
|
<p>"Single header" doesn't mean that everything is contained in C/C++ declarations, like it tends to be in case of inline functions or C++ templates. It means that implementation is bundled with interface in a single file and needs to be extracted using preprocessor macro. If you don't do it properly, you will get linker errors.</p>
|
|
<p>To do it properly:</p>
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
|
<li>Include "vk_mem_alloc.h" file in each CPP file where you want to use the library. This includes declarations of all members of the library.</li>
|
|
<li>In exacly one CPP file define following macro before this include. It enables also internal definitions.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="preprocessor">#define VMA_IMPLEMENTATION</span></div><div class="line"><span class="preprocessor">#include "vk_mem_alloc.h"</span></div></div><!-- fragment --><p>It may be a good idea to create dedicated CPP file just for this purpose.</p>
|
|
<p>Please note that this library includes header <code><vulkan/vulkan.h></code>, which in turn includes <code><windows.h></code> on Windows. If you need some specific macros defined before including these headers (like <code>NOMINMAX</code>, <code>WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN</code>, or <code>WINVER</code> for Windows, <code>VK_USE_PLATFORM_WIN32_KHR</code> for Vulkan), you must define them before every <code>#include</code> of this library.</p>
