This was a bad idea. Easy enough to wrap all the functionality in c++ semantics, but it's not really useful, at least not to me.

Handcrafted idiomatic C++ wrapper for wgpu-native

I originally set out to implement a zero-ish overhead wrapper for wgpu-native. Currently, the file structs.hpp contains a handful of structs matching the transparent structs and descriptors in webgpu.h, but they are extremely naive implementations that do a lot of duplicating and storing data.

Use

Incorporate with cmake FetchContent.

include(FetchContent)

FetchContent_Declare(
    echdina
    GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/adamdusty/echidna.git
    GIT_TAG        main
    GIT_SHALLOW    TRUE
    SYSTEM
)

FetchContent_MakeAvailable(echidna)

add_executable(application)
target_sources(application PRIVATE main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(application PUBLIC echidna::echidna)
