I kinda get the point, to avoid rogue third parties tainting my
ŕepositories with nasty backdoors, yes, but unless *everything* on the
way to the server including DNS queries is encrypted, then it's still
just a half of the solution and any silly corporate firewall can still
prevent me from cloning stuff from github dot com.
Took me a while (several years?) to figure out a way to benchmark this
without basically duplicating the testing effort and without new
variants being too hard to add.
It's not using Android's native Vulkan library because that's only since
Android 24 and emulator for that version doesn't even start. So we use
our own minimal driver instead.
This makes it possible to:
- finally use Magnum as a CMake subproject on Windows and have your
executables not fail to run with a "DLL missing" error (and the
setting is put to cache so superprojects just implicitly make use of
that)
- run tests on Windows without having to install first
- use dynamic plugins from a CMake subproject on any platform without
having to install first or load them by filename --- and the plugin
directory is now easily discovered as relative to
libraryLocation() of the library implementing given plugin interface
Currently a separate job with everything that depends on GL disabled.
And against a minimal Vulkan driver that has just four symbols, because
I can't run the stuff there anyway.
