Official C++ bindings support? about vulkanmemoryallocator

[adam-sawicki-a]

I currently have some higher-priority tasks to do in the project, but I may add C++ binding in the future, possibly when releasing version 2.0.0 final.

It is now being developed on branch "cpp_binding". See also #43.

I'm sorry to inform that it has been decided that C++ binding for VMA is not going to be officially supported as part of this repository. While having an object-oriented C++ wrapper over the library is a good idea, having it in same, extensive form as the official Vulkan C++ wrapper has too much maintenance cost, while the survey among developers indicated that majority of them prefer to use Vulkan C interface in their C++ code.

A C++ VMA wrapper is welcomed as external project and may be linked in README.md.

C++ binding for this library has been created as external project:

Any plans to add an XML like in vulkan-hpp to ease generation of bindings?

[adam-sawicki-a]

I am sorry but just as the documentation says, VMA is a C++ library with C interface and any ports or bindings to additional languages are out of scope of this project. Maintaining such XML would require additional work every time the library is changed.

Ah bummer, thanks for the info!
