ShaderModule class
A thoroughly thin wrapper around a VkShaderModule object, whose primary utility beyond RAII resource management is setting up the VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo required when creating/setting up an objects graphics pipeline.

Constructors, destructors, conversion operators
- ShaderModule(const VkDevice& device, const char* filename, const VkShaderStageFlagBits& stages, const char* entry_point = nullptr)
- Creates a new shader for the given stage by reading from the specified file.
- ShaderModule(const VkDevice& device, const VkShaderStageFlagBits& stages, const uint32_t* binary_source, const uint32_t& binary_source_length)
- Creates a new shader for the given stage by using the given binary data array.
Public functions
- auto PipelineInfo() const -> const VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo& noexcept
- Retrieves the object required to bind/use this shader in a pipeline.
Function documentation
vpr::
Creates a new shader for the given stage by reading from the specified file.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| device | |
| filename | |
| stages | |
| entry_point | This optional parameter decides what point to invoke/execute the given shader from. |
vpr::
Creates a new shader for the given stage by using the given binary data array.
Will be slightly faster, as it doesn't have to open a file and copy that data into the program.
const VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo& vpr::
Retrieves the object required to bind/use this shader in a pipeline.
Fields are already filled out: should not be modified. Only potential modification point would be changing the entry point, after creating a fresh copy of this object - this is left to advanced users though, so it won't be explained more here.
