VV::V2::AppInstance struct
#include <VaultedVulkan/VV_Initialization.hpp>

An object that manages the represented application process state within the GPU.

Other Name: Application State Container

Vulkan has no global state reference: Every application must keep track of their state using an instance object.

Base classes

struct VV::V1::AppInstance: An object that manages the represented application process state within the GPU.

class VV::V3::AppInstance: An object that manages the represented application process state within the GPU.

static auto Create(const CreateInfo& _info, Handle& _handle) -> EResult: Create a new Vulkan application instance. (Use default allocator)
static void Destroy(Handle _handle): Destroy an application instance of Vulkan. (Use Default allocator)
static auto GetAvailableLayers(DynamicArray<LayerProperties>& _container) -> EResult: Get available layers into a dynamic array.
static auto GetAvailableLayerExtensions(RoCStr _layerName, DynamicArray<ExtensionProperties>& _propertiesContainer) -> EResult: Get available layer extensions into a dynamic array with the specified layer name.
static auto GetAvailableLayersAndExtensions(DynamicArray<LayerAndExtensionProperties>& _layersAndExtensions) -> EResult
static auto GetAvailablePhysicalDevices(Handle _handle, DynamicArray<PhysicalDevice::Handle>& _deviceListing) -> EResult: Provides the handles of all available physical devices.
static auto GetAvailablePhysicalDeviceGroups(Handle _handle, DynamicArray<PhysicalDevice::Group>& _groupListing) -> EResult: Provides a list of the device groups present in the system.
static auto Create(const CreateInfo& _info, const Memory::AllocationCallbacks* _allocator, Handle& _handle) -> EResult: Create a new Vulkan application instance.
static void Destroy(Handle _handle, const Memory::AllocationCallbacks* _allocator): Destroy an application instance of Vulkan.

Get the layers and their extensions in a dynamic array of the layer and extensions properties struct.

Provides the handles of all available physical devices.

Provides a list of the device groups present in the system.

Parameters
_handle
_groupListing

Create a new Vulkan application instance.

Parameters
_info	The creation specification structure to use.
_allocator	Allocator desired (Memory::DefaultAllocator if default desired).
_handle	Reference to object that will have the created object's handle written to (if successful).
Returns	Returns EResult code (Indicating how the creation went).

Destroy an application instance of Vulkan.

Parameters
_handle	Handle of the AppInstance.
_allocator	Optional: Allocator to use (Memory::DefaultAllocator if default desired).
