environment variable to save configured settings in a file about vulkan-utility-libraries HOT 5 OPEN

Would this be something to add to the settings library instead of being specific to validation?

from vulkan-utility-libraries.

agree, this is also nice in general as sometimes I myself am concern I do/don't have certain settings enabled... VK_LAYER_VALIDATION_SAVE_SETTINGS would be a good debug env variable

from vulkan-utility-libraries.

@christophe-lunarg this is something we really want for other layers too, is this something Layer Settings can take care of?

from vulkan-utility-libraries.

This looks great to me and yes the layer settings library is a good place for this to generalize to all layers.
We could also have a VK_VALIDATION_LOAD_SETTINGS env variable.

Probably a bit tricky to handle correcly the interaction of multiple layers on that file. I think we should go for a single environment variable VK_LAYERS_LOAD_SETTINGS and VK_LAYERS_SAVE_SETTINGS shared across layers.

Does it sounds good to you?

Should we move this issue in the VulkanUtility repository?
