🎉 Fubuki is open-source! 🎉

About

Idiomatic C++23 cross-platform composable abstraction framework for Vulkan and low-level graphics.

Fubuki is designed to be both idiomatic (modern) C++ and idiomatic low-level graphics code.

Documentation

  • Tutorials: see /tutorials.
  • Doxygen: run doxygen on the Doxyfile available at the repository root.
  • Style guide, design notes, contribution guidelines: see /doc.

Highlights

  • Minimally-invasive abstractions thanks to the pass-by-view paradigm.
    • Fubuki's API is designed to limit the changes required in existing code to benefit from its features.
  • Reports error with std::expected unless otherwise specified.
    • Constructors that can throw have a noexcept equivalent factory function.
  • Compile-time validated pNext chain.
  • Compile-time validated loading system for Vulkan function pointers (PFN).
    • fubuki::invoke<"vkFunctionName">/fubuki::fuyu::invoke<"..."> invoke the corresponding Vulkan function with zero runtime overhead.
  • Platform-agnostic API to create native window surfaces.
  • Platform-agnostic API to interact with the keyboard, the mouse and display monitor (under the restrictions of the platform).
  • Accessible internals for custom platform-specific code.
  • fubuki::small_vector (vector with Small Buffer Optimisation - SBO)
  • Much, much more. For a slightly more in-depth overview of the features Fubuki provides, see the corresponding README.md in each library:

Compiler support

Compiler Platform Manually tested CI-tested
clang-19 Linux ✅ ✅
gcc-14 Linux ✅ ✅
MSVC-2022 Windows ✅ ✅
MinGW/gcc-13 Windows ✅ ❌
MinGW/LLVM-17 Windows ✅ ❌

Dependencies

  • Vulkan SDK.
    • Fubuki code is provided for 1.4.309.0.
    • Version-dependent code can be regenerated for any other SDK version which uses a compatible format for the Vulkan registry. See the maintenance documentation.
  • CMake 3.23 or later.
  • A compiler supporting C++23.
  • Python 3.9 or above (see https://www.python.org/ for installation details).
  • doxygen (if you want to build the Doxygen documentation)

Linux-specific

Important

Only tested on Ubuntu 24.04.
Please do not hesitate to open an issue if your platform requires, for example, different packages.

Ubuntu 24.04

sudo apt-get install pkg-config libwayland-dev wayland-protocols wayland-scanner++ libwayland-client++1 libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libxkbcommon-dev

Note

If you are using WSL, consider taking a look at this thread, which suggests solutions when the connection to a display fails.
In particular, see this answer.

Dev-only dependencies

Developers will need the following:

  • clang-format. The executable must be exported so that it can be found from $ENV{PATH} (in the CMake meaning of the expression).
  • Python termcolor.

Cloning

Simply run

git clone --recurse-submodules --remote-submodules https://github.com/Erellu/fubuki.git

Or if you have an old version of Git (2.12 or before)

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Erellu/fubuki.git 
git submodule init
git submodule update

Building

  • Clone the repository and pull its submodules.
  • Download the Vulkan SDK and the other dependencies.
  • Run cmake (or cmake-gui if you prefer the graphical interface) and select the build system (ninja, etc.).
    • Set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to one of Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, MinSizeRel.
    • Set the other Fubuki options (see below).
  • Go to your build directory and build (ninja or whatever you selected).

CMake options

Name Description Default
FUBUKI_BUILD_TESTS Build Fubuki unit tests OFF
FUBUKI_BUILD_TUTORIALS Build Fubuki tutorials. ON
FUBUKI_INSTALL Install Fubuki to directory set in CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. ON
FUBUKI_NO_IO Do not build fubuki::io (use this when building Fubuki for a platform fubuki::io doesn't support, such as OSX). This also disables tutorials and tests that depend on this target. OFF
FUBUKI_SKIP_GENERATION (Dev) Skip code generations processes. Put it on OFF when changing the Vulkan SDK version. ON
FUBUKI_VERBOSE_BUILD (Dev) Display detailed messages when configuring Fubuki. OFF

Installation

At the current state of the project, I cannot provide prebuilt binaries, so you will have to build it yourself:

  1. Follow the building steps above.
  2. Set FUBUKI_INSTALL to ON.
  3. Set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to the desired install location.
  4. Build.

Examples

core

Retrieve PFN_vk* by name

Example C++ code 
// The name is automagically validated at compile time 
auto* const pfn = fubuki::pfn<"vkCreateDevice">(instance);
fubuki_assert(pfn, "Could not retrieve the function pointer");

// Compile error
// auto* const pfn2 = fubuki::pfn<"vkThisFunctionDoesNotExist">(instance);

Invoke Vulkan functions by name

Example C++ code 
auto device_functions = fubuki::load(instance, vk_version, device);

// The name and the arguments are also validated at compile time
auto result = fubuki::invoke<"vkQueueSubmit">(device_functions, ...);

// Compile-time error: vkQueueSubmit cannot be invoke with such arguments
// auto result = fubuki::invoke<"vkQueueSubmit">(device_functions, an_int);

pnext chain

Example C++ code 
VkDeviceCreateInfo vk_info {...};

VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan11Features vk11 {...};
VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan12Features vk12 {...};
VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan13Features vk13 {...};

const fubuki::pnext_chain chain{
    vk11,
    vk12,
    vk13,
};

// Contents are validated at compile time
fubuki::extend(vk_info, chain);

fuyu

See:

Invoke Vulkan functions by name

Similar to fubuki::invoke, fubuki::fuyu::invoke provides an interface to call Vulkan functions by name. It is a simple compatibility layer for fuyu::views:

Example C++ code 
[[nodiscard]]
VkExtent2D render_area_granularity(const fuyu::render_pass_view pass) noexcept
{
    VkExtent2D result = {};

    // Similar to pfn<"name">, the function name is validated at compile time
    fuyu::invoke<"vkGetRenderAreaGranularity">(pass.device, pass.handle.vk, std::addressof(result));

    return result;
}

Note

This function already exists in fubuki, under fubuki::fuyu::render_area_granularity.

Composable pipes

fubuki::fuyu introduces command pipes that can be used to compose an execution flow, similar to std::ranges:

Example C++ code 
// Typical succession of commands to draw a shape
auto flow
    = cmd::pipe::record(command_buffer, VK_COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_ONE_TIME_SUBMIT_BIT)
    | cmd::pipe::barrier(
            cmd::image_memory_barrier
            {
                .source      = {.access_mask = {}, .layout = VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED},
                .destination = {.access_mask = VK_ACCESS_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_READ_BIT | VK_ACCESS_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_WRITE_BIT, .layout = VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_GENERAL},
                .target      =
                {

pnext chain

Example C++ code 
// Enable all available core features for Vulkan core 1.1 to 1.3
using device = fubuki::fuyu::device;

auto physical_device_info = fuyu::hardware::physical_device_information(context::instance(), physical_device);
fubuki_assert(physical_device_info.has_value(), "Failed to retrieve physical devices properties. API error:" << physical_device_info.error());

const fubuki::pnext_chain chain{
    physical_device_info->features.vk11,
    physical_device_info->features.vk12,
    physical_device_info->features.vk13,
};

const auto dev = device::make(instance, physical_device, {/*info*/}, {/*extensions, queues, surfaces*/}, chain);

// Or with the throwing constructor:
auto dev2 = device{instance, physical_device, {/*info*/}, {/*extensions, queues, surfaces*/}), chain};

On-the-fly pnext chain

Example C++ code 
// Create an array of descriptor sets with a pnext chain created on-the-fly
using ds_array = fubuki::fuyu::descriptor_set_array;

const auto sets = 
ds_array::make(pool,
               {/*info*/},
               fubuki::owning_pnext_chain
               {
                   VkDescriptorSetVariableDescriptorCountAllocateInfo
                   {
                       .sType              = {},
                       .pNext              = {},
                       .descriptorSetCount = fubuki::vk_size(variable_sets),
                       .pDescriptorCounts  = variable_sets.data(),
                   },
               }.chain());

// Or with the throwing constructor:
const auto sets2 = 
ds_array
{
    pool,
    {/*info*/},
    fubuki::owning_pnext_chain
    {
        VkDescriptorSetVariableDescriptorCountAllocateInfo
        {
            .sType              = {},
            .pNext              = {},
            .descriptorSetCount = fubuki::vk_size(variable_sets),
            .pDescriptorCounts  = variable_sets.data(),
        },
    }.chain()
};

hyoka

On-the-fly shader compilation

Example C++ code 
const auto compiled_shader = hyoka::shader::compile // std::expected
({
    .shader = {hyoka::shader::lang::..., source_code}, 
    .stage = hyoka::shader::stage::...
});

if(not compiled_shader)
{
    handle(compiled_shader.error());
