VKUT is a utility for Vulkan and it help you reduce typing code to use Vulkan. As you know, Vulkan requires to write a lot of code to you and it's not fun. You can enjoy writing code with VKUT. It's written in C++ and supports all platforms.
First, you need to download VKUT in your project.
git clone https://github.com/daemyung/vkut.git
Second, you need to modify your CMakeLists.txt.
add_subdirectory(vkut)
target_link_libraries(${TARGET_NAME}
PUBLIC
vkut
)
Using VKUT is very similar to Vulkan. You need to keep in mind that all functions has vkut prefix and all structure has Vkut prefix.
// Set up the application info.
VkutApplicationInfo app_info;
app_info.SetEngineInfo("vulkan engine", 0, 1, 0);
// Set up the instance create info.
VkutInstanceCreateInfo create_info;
create_info.pApplicationInfo = &app_info;
create_info.SetEnabledLayerNames(layer_names);
create_info.SetEnabledExtensionNames(extension_names);
VkInstance instance;
vkutCreateInstance(create_info, instance);
It allow you to call a function once to query what you need.
std::vector<VkPhysicalDevice> physical_devices;
vkutEnumeratePhysicalDevices(instance, physical_devices);
It supports convenience utility functions. You can easily get what you want.
VkPhysicalDevice physical_device;
vkutFindBestPhysicalDevice(instance_, physical_device);
