Crate gpu_descriptor

Library for Vulkan-like APIs to allocated descriptor sets from descriptor pools fast, with least overhead and zero fragmentation.

Straightforward usage:

use gpu_descriptor::DescriptorAllocator;

let mut allocator = DescriptorAllocator::new(max_update_after_bind_descriptors_in_all_pools); // Limit as dictated by API for selected hardware

let result = allocator.allocate(
    device, // Implementation of `gpu_descriptor::DescriptorDevice`. Comes from plugins.
    layout, // Descriptor set layout recognized by device's type.
    flags,  // Flags specified when layout was created.
    layout_descriptor_count, // Descriptors count in the layout.
    count, // count of sets to allocated.
);

Structs

DescriptorAllocator	Descriptor allocator. Can be used to allocate descriptor sets for any layout.
DescriptorPoolCreateFlags	Flags to augment descriptor pool creation.
DescriptorSet	Descriptor set from allocator.
DescriptorSetLayoutCreateFlags	Flags to augment descriptor set allocation.
DescriptorTotalCount	Number of descriptors of each type.

Enums

AllocationError	AllocationError that may occur during descriptor sets allocation.
CreatePoolError	Memory exhausted error.
DeviceAllocationError	Memory exhausted error.

Traits

DescriptorDevice

Abstract device that can create pools of type P and allocate sets S with layout L.
