![]() * surface.acquire_texture: pass Option<Duration> for timeout A std::time::Duration allows for timeouts to be specified more clearly in Rust using whatever units are convenient for the caller, and an Option also makes it clearer in case no timeout is wanted, as opposed to passing a bitwise !0 as special timeout value. Notably there was an impedance mismatch with the Vulkan backend that takes a 64bit timeout in nanoseconds and uses u64::MAX to indicate no timeout and the backend was not mapping a given u32::MAX into a u64::MAX * surface.acquire_texture: ignore timeout for Android < 11 Prior to Android 11 then Android's vkAcquireNextImageKHR implementation was non-conformant and didn't support timeouts and additionally would log a verbose warning if a timeout was requested. For reference this version of AcquireNextImageKHR doesn't support timeouts: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/native/+/refs/tags/android-mainline-10.0.0_r13/vulkan/libvulkan/swapchain.cpp#1426 and this version does: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/native/+/refs/tags/android-mainline-11.0.0_r45/vulkan/libvulkan/swapchain.cpp#1438 (i.e. timeout support was added in Android 11) This patch adds a dependency on the `android-properties` crate that provides a simple wrapper for the `__system_property_set` syscall so that the platform version can be read via the `ro.build.version.sdk` property and then for versions < 30 (corresponds to Android 11) any timeout given to `acquire_texture` will be ignored (and `u64::MAX` will be passed to Vulkan) |

wgpu-hal is an explicit low-level GPU abstraction powering wgpu-core. It's a spiritual successor to gfx-hal, but with reduced scope, and oriented towards WebGPU implementation goals.
It has no overhead for validation or tracking, and the API translation overhead is kept to the bare minimum by the design of WebGPU. This API can be used for resource-demanding applications and engines.
Usage notes
All of the API is unsafe
. Documenting the exact safety requirements for the
state and function arguments is desired, but will likely be incomplete while the library is in early development.
The returned errors are only for cases that the user can't anticipate, such as running out-of-memory, or losing the device. For the counter-example, there is no error for mapping a buffer that's not mappable. As the buffer creator, the user should already know if they can map it.
The API accept iterators in order to avoid forcing the user to store data in particular containers. The implementation doesn't guarantee that any of the iterators are drained, unless stated otherwise by the function documentation. For this reason, we recommend that iterators don't do any mutating work.
Debugging
Most of the information in https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/wiki/Debugging-wgpu-Applications still applies to this API, with an exception of API tracing/replay functionality, which is only available in wgpu-core.
