Detailed Description

Manages Vulkan physical and logical device selection and creation.

This class abstracts Vulkan device setup including selecting a suitable physical device, creating a logical device, and querying relevant queues. Currently supports a single physical device and handles basic extension requirements.

Note

Future-proofing: Device creation parameters could be abstracted further.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

VulkanDevice()

Raven::VulkanDevice::VulkanDevice	(	VkInstance	instance,
		VkSurfaceKHR	surface )
