Ahwoo.BRUTAL.Vulkan.Abstractions

Hand-written helpers built on top of the raw Ahwoo.BRUTAL.Vulkan bindings: allocation, staging, partitioning, pipeline presets and extension methods that cut down Vulkan boilerplate.

Abstractions

Name Description
IAllocator, IBufferAllocator, IImageAllocator, IGlobalAllocator Allocator interfaces for buffers, images, or both
AllocationInfo, MemoryPreference Memory allocation details and GPU/CPU memory preference, modelled on VMA's
DeviceEx An allocator that allocates images and buffers directly from a Vulkan device
BufferEx Wraps VkBuffer with extra functionality
ImageEx Lightweight handle to an image allocation
ImageViewEx Wrapper for a Vulkan image view
DescriptorPoolEx, DescriptorSetLayoutEx Descriptor pool and descriptor set layout wrappers with create info
IDescriptorSetWrapper, IDescriptorSetLayoutWrapper Anything that owns a descriptor set or layout, so command recording can bind it uniformly
IImageView, IImageSubresourceRange Anything that exposes an image view, or an image with a subresource range and extent
IBindBuffer A buffer that can be bound to a command buffer
IMappable, MapInfo, MappedMemory Mapping memory allocations to pointers
StagingPool Loads and submits staging data to the GPU
ImageStagingRange A sub-image region used for staging
LinearBufferPartitioner Simple linear buffer partitioner (no freeing)
BinaryTreeBufferPartitioner Power-of-two (buddy) buffer partitioner
Atlas2DPartitioner Row-based 2D texture atlas allocator
QuadTreePartitioner Power-of-two quad-tree texture atlas allocator
TextureArrayPartitioner Hands out slots from a managed image array
Presets Ready-made pipeline state: blend, depth/stencil, rasterization, multisample, input assembly, samplers
VertexInput Builds VkPipelineVertexInputStateCreateInfo from a vertex struct
ShaderStages Builds a pipeline's shader stage list
FrameResources, SyncObjects Per-frame resources and synchronisation objects for a renderer
VulkanDeviceInfo Formats physical device properties as readable strings for logs and device pickers
VulkanHelpers Mip level counts, platform-required extensions and validation helpers
CommandBufferExtensions, QueueExtensions, DeviceExtensions, InstanceExtensions, PhysicalDeviceExtensions Extension methods for recording commands, submitting work and creating devices
FormatExtensions, Subresources, SubresourceExtensions, ByteSizeExtensions Format classification, subresource range factories/conversions and alignment helpers
DebugNameExtensions Sets debug names on Vulkan handles
