Vulkan-ValidationLayers VS rust-sdl2

If this works then it might actually be a game bug and the game I guess passes invalid shaders when the cache exists... but it seems to work fine on windows vulkan drivers. You could try to run the game with https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers

For debugging these kinds of issues, I would recommend enabling the synchronization validation layer.

I would use the debugger to produce a stack trace and look into the validation layers source code. https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers Then I would either file an issue or make a PR there.

Currently validation layers might generate false-positive errors: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/issues/3450

A'rightey... I was able to reproduce this issue with Sascha Willems basic triangle example, so I am fairly certain, that this is a bug. I've opened an issue.

I am really at loss here, I found this issue but it doesn't really help me (I am starting to doubt it's even possible, maybe I'm a clown and doing it wrong...)

Can you post a reproduction case at https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/issues so we can take a look at it.

Which is why a GPU debugger with frame tracing is so much better option.

By the way, there are actually ways to expose a print function on shader code, provided there is driver support.

Huh yeah. Looking through the header the function you want works with c but there are others using c++ features. The reason given is understandable.

I don't think that SDL and WGPU are really comparable. You'd be better off comparing SDL to something like Notan or even the SDL bindings for Rust. That said, SDL will have vastly more learning resources than Wgpu or Notan or any Rust alternative. If you know and like rust you can probably use the resources with the Rust SDL bindings.

Those are 3 very different libraries. Are you looking for something in the middle, or do you want all of the features you described? For what it's worth, there's SLD2 bindings for Rust https://github.com/Rust-SDL2/rust-sdl2

There's already a Rust binding for SDL2. See https://crates.io/crates/sdl2

nope. https://github.com/Rust-SDL2/rust-sdl2/issues/884 emscripten target won't work yet either.

it seems like what you are looking for is sdl2 bindings

Dude. It's literally at most 50 lines of code, the entire project. What kind of documentation do you expect me to write? The library I'm using is this one. I don't know why you'd need to know anything about it since it's purely something that can appear literally anywhere, it's part of the language.

*and* SDL2-sys *and* Rust-SDL2

The SDL2 crate had something like this, and it's an option I'm considering. However, if possible, I'd prefer a different, simpler GUI library, so if there's an input-specialized crate out there that does this, I'd love it.
