Todo

For this tutorial, Sascha Willems didn’t use https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp. Sooner, we can take a look at Vulkan-Hpp/RAII_Samples to understand how to use RAII C++ header.

一份笔记：
- dynamic rendering 怎么替代 render pass
- descriptor indexing 是什么
- VMA 怎么集成
- pipeline 怎么创建
- resource barrier 怎么写
- shader 编译流程怎么组织

思考问题：
1. 和之前的 Vulkan Tutorial 相比，改变了什么
2. 它是如何组织一个最小的渲染程序的
3. 那些东西应该迁移到我的 Vulkan Backend / RHI (我当时只有一个 main.cpp)

Notes

Modern Vulkan Features

• Dynamic rendering - Greatly simplifies render pass setup, one of the most criticized Vulkan areas
• Buffer device address - Lets us access buffers via pointers instead of going through descriptors
• Descriptor indexing - Simplifies descriptor management, often referred to as "bindless"
• Synchronization2 - Improves synchronization handling, one of the hardest areas of Vulkan

Initialization Workflow

Basic

• LunarG Vulkan SDK

• RenderDoc

• CMake

• Ninja / Make generator

• LLVM / MSVC / GNU C++ compiler

  Windows C++ Environment

Libraries

• SDL - Windowing and input (and other features not used in this tutorial). Without a library like this we would have to write a lot of platform-specific code. Alternatives are GLFW and SFML. SDL has the broadest platform support of these
