The DelayedDeletionQueue is a general utility for queueing up things to delete at a future time.
This simplifies swapchain recreation by making the deletion of in-use objects to be done later when they are no longer in use.
The SwapchainManager handles all aspects of a swapchain:
* Creation - Pass a SwapchainBuilder to specify how the swapchain should be created.
* Recreation - Recreates the swapchain without introducing a pipeline stall through the use of an internal DelayedDeletionQueue.
* Semaphores - Handles setting up the semaphores for acquiring a swapchain image, submitting work to draw to it, then presenting it.
* Fences - Owns the fences associated with the command buffer submissions which write to the swapchain image.
Optionally, the SwapchainManager can also provide command buffers in which to record with for ease of use in simple situations.
There is a ImagelessFramebufferBuilder to simplify creating imageless framebuffers into a few lines of code. Nothing special,
but is a nice thing to have
Also in these changes
Fixed issue with image usage flags inheriting the wrong flags and causing validation message spam.
- Internal tables are now populated through internal vkGetDeviceProcAddr rather than through passed dispatch table
- Device now has its own internal table as well.
- Cleaned up get_proc_addr functions and removed internal functions that are now held in a types internal tables.
Users can now ask for physical devices which support a specific 1.1 and 1.2
feature. VkBootstrap will then add the selected features to the enable list
in device creation.
find_package is used to try to find the Vulkan-Headers, and if they aren't
present, it downloads them with fetch content. This way users don't need
vulkan 'installed' on their system, specifically for windows users.
It also changes the tests to load all the necessary function pointers, that
way we don't need to find the vulkan loader to build the tests.
Allows people to use Swapchain Builder withtout holding onto the vkb::Device
handle. Also made patch levels optional since they generally don't matter.
Make vk-bootstrap capable of loading the vulkan runtime and not need to
link against the library. This improves the usability of vk-bootstrap since
now you don't need the vulkan library on your system to build.
This commit also changes how SystemInfo works so as to allow the dynamic
vulkan loading.
To recreate a swapchain now requires making a new SwapchainBuilder or
keeping the old one around. Removed the recreate function since its
purpose was unclear. Introduced set_old_swapchain to allow recyling the
old swapchain. Updated documentation and getting started guide.
Added device::get_queue_families() to facilitate custom queue setups
get_swapchain_images() renamed to get_image(), made member function to
swapchain.
get_swapchain_image_views() renamed to get_image_views(), also moved to
member function of swapchain
fixed bug with headless instance not being correct
Stopped Catch2 from polluting the buildable targets
SystemInfo will be the way for users to know what is and isn't available on their system.
Currently, it only has booleans for if validation layers and debug messenger are available,
but more could be added in the future.
whether you select a compute/transfer queue that can alias and one that cannot.
It is due to some hardware having dedicated compute or dedicated transfer but not both.
Also added some todo's for what to test.
Now there is a concise example of the library in use all the way to presenting.
Needs to be rewritten to remove exceptions, but for first pass its good enough.
Library contains barebones implementations for simplified
Instance creation
Physical Device selection
Device creation
Swapchain Creation/Recreation
Much of the repo is WIP, and there is little to no testing.
Also, while a single header file is desired for the future, currently
it is structured more like a normal project with .cpp files
