Any API documentation or cheat sheet for vulkan.hpp? about vulkan-hpp HOT 9 CLOSED

Hell no, many APIs are not the same in vulkan-hpp, I'd have to grep into the header file to find what I need all the time. Se need a new cheat sheet for vulkan-hpp.

from vulkan-hpp.

There's this: https://www.khronos.org/files/vulkan10-reference-guide.pdf

Translating from the reference guide (which refers to the C bindings) to the C++ version is pretty easy

Thx. I thought you might have some generated docs for reference... I think I got to grep the headers for some info~

from vulkan-hpp.

@adamcavendish What kind of information are you missing?

The README explains the 'differences' between the C and the C++ API. Using the original cheatsheet jherico mentioned you should be good to go.

Assuming there would be a cheatsheet, would it be enough to show only the transformed C++ functions which support arrays and references?

from vulkan-hpp.

@mtavenrath Just some tiny info, like is some type assignable or comparable etc., and vk::Extent2D does not support initializer_list etc. Grepping would be fine.

from vulkan-hpp.

An initializer list is arbitrary length. Extent2D requires exactly two arguments. You can declare vk::Extent2D foo { 1, 2 }; or for that matter, pass { 1, 2} into any function that expects an Extent2D and it will implicitly create one. Why would you want initializer lists?

from vulkan-hpp.

@jherico Ah, I just made an example to specify what I was grepping in the morning, not for asking a feature or sort of that. I just used vk::Extent2D foo(1, 2). Anyway, thx for the answer.

from vulkan-hpp.

Same here. The best doc I found about Vulkan.hpp is this pdf (or this) that I believe if from some kind of talk about the hpp itself.
I think that we need a complete doc about Vulkan.hpp that we could use instead of the one used to describe the C bindings; that could be expecially useful to starters who are already struggling undestranding Vulkan's concepts.

from vulkan-hpp.

Nothing against cheatsheet or complete doc, if somebody creates it or contributes it.
In my opinion, Vulkan.hpp is so close to C API that intelli sense of IDE is usually enough. In more complicated cases, some IDEs usually allow one click jump to C++ vulkan.hpp declaration and short look explains any API doubts. Wherever C++ API is more complicated, I suggest to read https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp/blob/master/README.md first and than discuss what is missing. Other suggestions?
