Vulkan - new graphics API


Recommended Posts

Ok @vladislavbelov, I could build previous versions such as rP27909 using the fixes fromĀ (https://code.wildfiregames.com/D5092), but now I am unable to build moltenvk.

Is the link down or outdated?

not sure why this link is being used since the libs part of the site doesn't exist (or isn't accessible).

With OpenGL the GLSL shaders get generated on-the-fly and cached on disk, if they aren't present, aren't they?

We don't do so. Shaders are compiled each time they're loaded (or used in a pipeline state). Some (but not all) drivers might cache results on a disk.

Would that be possible for Vulkan as well?

I have plans for that. We need a library which can be used on all platforms (shaderc is a possible candidate). Though we can't rely on it and we still need to build SPIR-V for releases. Because there might be platforms without such libraries in regular repos.
