Vulkan-Headers

Vulkan header files and API registry

Default branch changed to 'main' 2021-09-12

As discussed in #222, the default branch of this repository is now 'main'. This change should be largely transparent to repository users, since github rewrites many references to the old 'master' branch to 'main'. However, if you have a checked-out local clone, you may wish to take the following steps as recommended by github:

git branch -m master main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main
git remote set-head origin -a

Vulkan C++ Binding Repository (https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp)

As of the Vulkan-Docs 1.2.182 spec update, the Vulkan-Hpp headers have been split into multiple files. All of those files are now included in this repository.

include/vulkan/vulkan.hpp
include/vulkan/vulkan_enums.hpp
include/vulkan/vulkan_funcs.hpp
include/vulkan/vulkan_handles.hpp
include/vulkan/vulkan_raii.hpp
include/vulkan/vulkan_structs.hpp

Version Tagging Scheme

Updates to the Vulkan-Headers repository which correspond to a new Vulkan specification release are tagged using the following format: v<version> (e.g., v1.1.96).

Note: Marked version releases have undergone thorough testing but do not imply the same quality level as SDK tags. SDK tags follow the sdk-<version>.<patch> format (e.g., sdk-1.1.92.0).

This scheme was adopted following the 1.1.96 Vulkan specification release.
