tests:Add "--devsim" option Add "--devsim" option to vk_layer_validation_tests. This will enable the Device Simulation layer as the bottom layer on the stack. It still requires the caller to set the VK_DEVSIM_FILENAME env var in order to select the json profile that they want to test with. When "--devsim" option is specified, the device_profile layer will not be enabled by default when InitFramework() is called. Instead, any tests that require the device_profile layer can call EnableDeviceProfileLayer(). This function will cause the device profile layer to replace the dev sim layer as the bottome layer on the stack.
This project provides Khronos official ICD loader and validation layers for Vulkan developers on Windows and Linux.

Vulkan is an Explicit API, enabling direct control over how GPUs actually work. No (or very little) validation or error checking is done inside a Vulkan driver. Applications have full control and responsibility. Any errors in how Vulkan is used often result in a crash. This project provides standard validation layers that can be enabled to ease development by helping developers verify their applications correctly use the Vulkan API.
Vulkan supports multiple GPUs and multiple global contexts (VkInstance). The ICD loader is necessary to support multiple GPUs and the VkInstance level Vulkan commands. Additionally, the loader manages inserting Vulkan layer libraries, including validation layers between the application and the ICD.
The following components are available in this repository:
If you intend to contribute, the preferred work flow is for you to develop your contribution in a fork of this repo in your GitHub account and then submit a pull request. Please see the CONTRIBUTING file in this repository for more details
BUILD.md includes directions for building all the components, running the validation tests and running the demo applications.
Information on how to enable the various Validation layers is in layers/README.md.
Architecture and interface information for the loader is in loader/LoaderAndLayerInterface.md.
