Detailed Description

Vulkan helper functions.

This namespace contains functions to help you use SFML for windowing and write your own Vulkan code for graphics

Function Documentation

getFunction()

SFML_WINDOW_API VulkanFunctionPointer sf::Vulkan::getFunction ( const char * name )

nodiscard

Get the address of a Vulkan function.

Parameters

name	Name of the function to get the address of

Returns

Address of the Vulkan function, 0 on failure

getGraphicsRequiredInstanceExtensions()

SFML_WINDOW_API const std::vector< const char * > & sf::Vulkan::getGraphicsRequiredInstanceExtensions ( )

nodiscard

Get Vulkan instance extensions required for graphics.

Returns

Vulkan instance extensions required for graphics

isAvailable()

SFML_WINDOW_API bool sf::Vulkan::isAvailable ( bool requireGraphics = true )

nodiscard

Tell whether or not the system supports Vulkan.

This function should always be called before using the Vulkan features. If it returns false, then any attempt to use Vulkan will fail.

If only compute is required, set requireGraphics to false to skip checking for the extensions necessary for graphics rendering.

Parameters

requireGraphics

Returns

True if Vulkan is supported, false otherwise
