VelloSharp.Ffi.Gpu

VelloSharp.Ffi.Gpu extends the FFI layer with GPU-specific bindings required to operate native rendering pipelines.

Getting Started​

  1. Install using dotnet add package VelloSharp.Ffi.Gpu.
  2. Add using VelloSharp.Ffi.Gpu; in modules that configure GPU-backed rendering through native interop.
  3. Make sure the GPU native binaries are available via the VelloSharp.Native.* bundles that match your platform.
  4. Wrap the GPU handles with managed abstractions or use them through VelloSharp.Gpu to simplify resource lifetime management.

Usage Example​

using System;
using VelloSharp;

var rendererHandle = NativeMethods.vello_renderer_create(800, 600);
if (rendererHandle == IntPtr.Zero)
{
    throw new InvalidOperationException(NativeHelpers.GetLastErrorMessage() ?? "Renderer creation failed.");
}
NativeMethods.vello_renderer_destroy(rendererHandle);

Next Steps​

  • Review the API reference for the list of exported GPU commands and structures.
  • Validate compatibility with your target backend (Vulkan, Metal, Direct3D) before enabling advanced features in production.
