## Introduction
|
|
|
|
Vulkan is an Explicit API, enabling direct control over how GPUs actually work. By design, minimal error checking is done inside
|
|
a Vulkan driver. Applications have full control and responsibility for correct operation. Any errors in
|
|
how Vulkan is used can result in a crash. This project provides Vulkan validation layers that can be enabled
|
|
to assist development by enabling developers to verify their applications correct use of the Vulkan API.
|
|
|
|
The following components are available in this repository:
|
|
- [*Validation Layers*](layers/)
|
|
- [*Tests*](tests/)

## How to Build and Run
|
|
|
|
[BUILD.md](BUILD.md)
|
|
Includes directions for building all components as well as running validation tests.
|
|
|
|
Information on how to enable the various Validation layers is in
|
|
[layers/README.md](layers/README.md).
|
|
|
|
## Version Tagging Scheme
|
|
|
|
Updates to the `Vulkan-ValidationLayers` 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.
