- Nicholas Wilson (3/15) May 17 2019 Ah yes, the old arr.map!(toStringz).array.ptr;
- evilrat (8/11) May 17 2019 "erupted" was the only one that worked for me in the past, it was
- Doug Clayton (5/18) May 17 2019 I couldn't get the erupted bindings to work for the life of me,
- GoaLitiuM (3/19) May 17 2019 I've been using ErupteD on Windows quite a while with no problems
- Doug Clayton (3/13) May 17 2019 Linking issues. For some reason, I couldn't get it to link with
- GoaLitiuM (7/20) May 18 2019 ErupteD doesn't require any additional linking because it also
- KnightMare (8/10) May 18 2019 about enums:
- Doug Clayton (10/20) May 21 2019 Ah, I actually forgot to alias all of the enums in the spirv
Hi All, I just uploaded a working example of Vulkan working in D (With a Hello World triangle) on Github for anyone interested: https://github.com/DougClayton4231/VulkanTutorialD I couldn't find a working binding for Vulkan, so I hope this will help people get up and running and building their own applications. I only set up the Vulkan and GLFW3 bindings for Windows, so anyone on other OSes will need to extend those bindings with the appropriate functions and variables for those platforms. Big thanks to evilrat for helping me get those string arrays pointed to char**.

Did you had any issues using it? Also in repo readme it says "Native Debug" extension needed for VS Code, well, it isn't. Just enable "allow breakpoints everywhere" in settings. Other than that it does nothing useful (at least nothing noticeable).

Assuming the project is using dub, you just add it as a dependency and run the required functions (shown in the example) in runtime, and you should be good to go.On Friday, 17 May 2019 at 14:46:23 UTC, Doug Clayton wrote:Linking issues.

I just uploaded a working example of Vulkan working in D (With a Hello World triangle) on Github for anyone interested...about enums: enum SpvCapability_ { SpvCapabilityMatrix = 0, ... }; // code sample obj.someCaps = SpvCapability_.SpvCapabilityMatrix; IMO better/understandable_enough: enum SpvCapability { Matrix = 0, ... }; // code sample obj.someCaps = SpvCapability.Matrix;

I'll upload the fixes today. I didn't alter any of the enum names from the original source in order to maintain a 1:1 binding. Otherwise, when people are following other people's code, the names would be completely different.
