Is this intended to work on Windows about vulkan-extensionlayer HOT 10 CLOSED

It should, I think we even got it to compile on windows at some point.

To clarify the answer, this layer was part of the mesa repository which has mutex implementations for win32/linux so that made it possible.

Because I had to cut the dependencies this started relying on pthread.

The main reason this isn't written in c++ is that the layer is using embedded lists for efficiency. Not sure what would be the replacement with c++...

If we can rely on C11, we can just use the built-in mutex stuff from C11.

Thanks, I did not know about that. Will update.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like visual studio supports actual C11. It just supports C11 features in C++. 😦

Maybe clang on Windows would work with C11?

As a point of reference, the Sync2 layer is building on Windows

I'm looking to use the timeline_semaphore layer on Windows to enable Vulkan support on GPUs as old as the Nvidia 880M. It seems like that layer doesn't compile on windows right now. Is this layer just not supported on Windows?

from vulkan-extensionlayer.

Not right now unfortunately.

Closing. Timeline semaphore doesn't support windows. Sync2 and any future extensions supported should work on windows.
