Function Documentation

CheckValidationLayerSupport()

bool BlamRendering::Vulkan::CheckValidationLayerSupport

(

)

Checks whether or not Vulkan's default validation layer is available.

Returns

true if the validation layer is available, otherwise returns false.

GetAvailableExtensions()

std::vector< VkExtensionProperties > BlamRendering::Vulkan::GetAvailableExtensions

(

)

Retrieves the list of all extensions available to Vulkan.

GetAvailableLayers()

std::vector< VkLayerProperties > BlamRendering::Vulkan::GetAvailableLayers

(

)

Retrieves the list of all validation layers available to Vulkan.

GetEnabledLayers()

std::vector< const char * > BlamRendering::Vulkan::GetEnabledLayers

(

)

Retrieves the list of all enabled Vulkan layers.

GetInstance()

VkInstance * BlamRendering::Vulkan::GetInstance

(

)

Retrieves the Vulkan instance.

GetRequiredExtensions()

std::vector< const char * > BlamRendering::Vulkan::GetRequiredExtensions

(

)

Gets a list of required Vulkan extensions.

Initialize()

void BlamRendering::Vulkan::Initialize

(

)

Initializes Vulkan.

PrintVulkanAvailabilityInfo()

void BlamRendering::Vulkan::PrintVulkanAvailabilityInfo

(

)
