Managed Vulkan

2 March 2016

NOTE : most likely a leaky messy Vulkan prototype library for C# applications

My own managed C++ / CLI interface for Vulkan (on my Windows machines compiled with Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition) generated from VulkanSharp's VK_XML_URL = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs/1.0/src/spec/vk.xml

Version 1.1.0

Based on Windows LUNARG 1.0.3 SDK All functions are implemented except for GetDeviceProcAddr(String pName) & AllocationCallbacks

Version 1.0.0

Now using Semantic Versioning v2.0.0 (http://semver.org/) Code based on Vulkan T4 codegen; Heavily hand modified.

Version 0.0.1

Project: ManagedVulkan

Prototype C++ / CLI library using LunarG's vulkan-1.lib provided in the Windows version of the Developer SDK with only two methods implemented

• VkCreateInstance
• VkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties

Project : VulkanT4

T4 text templating to generate C++ / CLI interfaces using managed types

Code generation

• Enums
  • All enums - Done
  • Remove common prefixes TODO
• Delegates - Done
• Unions - TODO
• Bitmasks
  • All Bitmasks - Done
  • Remove common prefixes TODO
• Helper Structs (really classes) for managed types - DONE
• Header file for Windows only windowing functions - DONE
• Group class (proxies) for similar instances - DONE
• External synchronization ?? TODO

Todos

• Full C# managed type implementation for all 190+ functions via T4 code generation
