Add xml description file in Vulkan style about vulkanmemoryallocator HOT 12 CLOSED

Creating wrapper for Python is a great idea, but I'm afraid that creating wrappers for programming languages other than C++ is out of scope of this project. External contributions of this type are welcomed.

I would recommend to wait with creating such wrapper until new version 2.0.0-alpha.3 is released, which should happen pretty soon. It brings a lot of changes.

Thanks @adam-sawicki-amd for your answer.
I agree with you that creating a wrapper is out of scope of this project. However, creating a file that describes the API may be a good idea. Like you said, it takes time to do it and we have to wait the version 2-alpha3.
I can create the wrapper without the description file so it's not a big problem but it's more convenient with it.

I pushed version 2.0.0-alpha.3. Can you try to prepare Python wrapper for it?

Thanks @adam-sawicki-amd, can you give me instruction to compile the code as a static library ?

from vulkanmemoryallocator.

If you mean Windows and Visual Studio platform, in order to compile VMA as static library:

• Create new project of type "Static library".
• Add vk_mem_alloc.h file to it.
• Create vk_mem_alloc.cpp file and place following code there:

#define VMA_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "vk_mem_alloc.h"

Sorry, I forgot to tell you that I work on Linux (Ubuntu). So do you know how to do it on linux ?

I just saw that all is in one file vk_mem_alloc.h, nice!
Is mathfu mandatory ?

from vulkanmemoryallocator.

Yes, the whole library is in file vk_mem_alloc.h. It depends only on Vulkan and standard C/C++ library. When included as-is, it works as a header. When included after #define VMA_IMPLEMENTATION from some CPP file, it adds whole implementation, so you should do it just once. All the rest is just testing app, including MathFu.

Ok very nice, I love well designed library. I'm starting the wrapper.

@realitix Are you making the vma.xml file or directly for python?
I would love a spec aswell to make a version of KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp for this repo

So I can use this library like this:

auto memReq = vma::AllocationCreateInfo({}, vma::MemoryUsage::eGpuOnly)
   .setPool(&pool);

etc..

@FlayaN I am directly doing the python wrapper for testing.
If it's good, we should capitalize on the xml file.

I'm currently locked by this: #10
