This commit changes the definitions for `window` in `XlibSurfaceCreateInfoKHR` and `XcbSurfaceCreateInfoKHR` with to `u64` (xlib) and `u32` (xcb) (see definitions below). `vk-sys` defined `XlibSurfaceCreateInfoKHR` and `XcbSurfaceCreateInfoKHR` with `pub window: *const c_void`. This propagates through to the API in `vulkano::swapchain::Surface::from_{xlib,xcb}()`. As the native window types in xcb/xlib are defined as unsigned ints, this may lead to the belief that a pointer to such an integer is required. `vulkano` will create a `Surface` but this surface will not be supported by any queue family. xlib: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/x11proto/tree/X.h#n96 and https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/x11proto/tree/X.h#n66 (search `Windows`) xcb: https://xcb.freedesktop.org/manual/group__XCB____API.html (search `xcb_window_t`) |

Vulkano
Note: requires Rust 1.9. This library would highly benefit from multiple upcoming features in Rust. Therefore it is likely that in the future you will need to update your version of Rust to continue using vulkano.
Vulkano is a Rust wrapper around the Vulkan graphics API. It follows the Rust philosophy, which is that as long as you don't use unsafe code you shouldn't be able to trigger any undefined behavior. In the case of Vulkan, this means that non-unsafe code should always conform to valid API usage.
What does vulkano do?
- Provides a low-levelish API around Vulkan. It doesn't hide what it does, but provides some comfort types.
- Plans to prevents all invalid API usages, even the most obscure ones. The purpose of vulkano is not to draw a teapot, but to cover all possible usages of Vulkan and detect all the possible problems. Invalid API usage is prevented thanks to both compile-time checks and runtime checks.
- Handles synchronization on the GPU side for you, as this aspect of Vulkan is both annoying to handle and error-prone. Dependencies between submissions are automatically detected, and semaphores are managed automatically. The behavior of the library can be customized thanks to unsafe trait implementations.
- Tries to be convenient to use. Nobody is going to use a library that requires you to browse the documentation for hours for every single operation.
Warning: this library breaks every five minutes for the moment.
Documentation
To get started you are encouraged to read the examples in examples/src/bin
, starting with
the triangle
example.
Structure
This repository contains four libraries:
vulkano
is the main one.vulkano-shaders
can analyse SPIR-V shaders at compile-time.vulkano-win
provides a safe link between vulkano and thewinit
library which can create a window where to render to.glsl-to-spirv
can compile GLSL to SPIR-V by wrapping aroundglslang
