**Vulkan-ValidationLayers** wishes to reorganize the testing matrix for speed and efficiency, moving from running `Release32` builds on **Windows-NVIDIA** to **Windows-AMD**. This is the first time we'd run 32-bit exercises on...

VK_LOADER_DEBUG should report actual library loaded, not library attempted

2

We found a case on **macOS** where the loader reported, via `VK_LOADER_DEBUG=all`, that the repository build of `libVkLayer_khronos_validation.dylib` was loaded for a particular test run: ``` DRIVER | LAYER: vkCreateDevice...

cube: Make Volk requirement explicit

18

See also: Cannot build DEMOS.sln https://gitlab.khronos.org/vulkan/Vulkan-SDK-Packaging/-/issues/1417 Volk requires that VK_NO_PROTOTYPES be defined before vulkan.h or vulkan.hpp is included. Currently, the various flavors of vkcube hide this definition in the cube/CMakeLists.txt...

At the very least, the `windows-runtime-installer` should give a message to the user if it chooses _not_ to overwrite the Vulkan runtime (typically because such an install would be a...

environment variable to save configured settings in a file

Some application vendors configure the validation layer programmatically (i.e. via switches like `-vulkan_enable_validation -vulkan_enable_sync_validation` etc.). For local analysis, it would be very helpful to know exactly how the validation layer...

loader documentation and vkconfig differ in message interface

1

Originally discovered as an SDK issue: https://gitlab.khronos.org/vulkan/Vulkan-SDK-Packaging/-/issues/1545 Posted to this repository at the SDK Officer's request. `vkconfig` provides these options for **Vulkan Loader** messages: `none, error, warn, info, debug, layer,...

warnings go to stdout, not stderr

6

The `WARNING` line was issued to stdout. I'd expect it to go to stderr. ``` $ /home/papillo/work/LunarG/gfxreconstruct/build/tools/compress/gfxrecon-compress /tmp/resvi/dota2/compress-native-to-LZ4-results/dota2-LZ4.gfxr /tmp/resvi/dota2/compress-LZ4-to-ZLIB-results/dota2-ZLIB.gfxr ZLIB [gfxrecon] WARNING - Skipping unrecognized file block with type 0...

Cosmetic. First found during SDK testing: https://gitlab.khronos.org/vulkan/Vulkan-SDK-Packaging/-/issues/1546 When the `screenshot` layer is given a negative `Frames` value, it correctly provokes an error: ``` screenshot: Range error ``` But when it...

Errors during GPU-AV self-validation

1

I built the self-validation layer for **Linux**, **Windows**, **Windows 11 ARM**, and **Mac**, installed the layer on the NAS, and ran the **Vulkan-ValidationLayers** job with `--self-validate isolated:nas`, to run with...

possible Android memory corruption in validation or SPIRV used by validation

**Environment:** - OS: Android - GPU and driver version: N/A, crash appears on all tested Android devices - SDK or header version if building from repo: Android NDK 26.3 -...
