Validation Layer name change to "VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation"

Question

Validation Layer name change to "VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation"

Closed this issue 4 years ago · 4 comments

VK_LAYER_LUNARG_standard_validation was deprecated in favor of VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation.
While they both have the same functionality (as its the same code under the hood) the former was re-architected to have less overhead, and VK_LAYER_LUNARG_standard_validation will be removed in a future SDK version.

I'm not sure what you're referring to, this project doesn't make use of the validation layers itself, it's up to the user. Please reopen this if you feel like this was a mistake

I see my mistake now, I didn't note that it was the README.md which has the issue, not the project itself. You are very right, the project makes validation layers a user done option. If this project targets SDK versions 1.1.121 or later, I would suggest updating the readme.

Thanks for spotting this, I've updated the readme

No problem, and apologies for not making that clear in the issue post. I momentarily forgot other people can't read my mind it seems.
