To build the Vulkan ICD library, use Visual Studio 2019 to open the project folder and wait for it to run CMake. Open the CMake Targets View in the Solution Explorer and select the vk_swiftshader project to build it.
On Windows, most applications can be made to use SwiftShader's DLLs by placing them in the same folder as the executable. On Linux, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable or -rpath linker option can be used to direct applications to search for shared libraries in the indicated directory first.
All changes require a Change-ID tag in the commit message. A commit hook may be used to add this tag automatically, and can be found at: -review.googlesource.com/tools/hooks/commit-msg. You can execute git clone and manually place the commit hook in SwiftShader/.git/hooks/, or to clone the repository and install the commit hook in one go:
Some tests will automatically be run against the change. Notably, presubmit.sh verifies the change has been formatted using clang-format 11.0.1. Most IDEs come with clang-format support, but may require upgrading/downgrading to the clang-format version 11.0.0 release version (notably Chromium's buildtools has a clang-format binary which can be an in-between revision which produces different formatting results).
googletest contains the Google Test project, as a Git submodule. It is used for running unit tests for Chromium, and Reactor unit tests. Run git submodule update --init to obtain/update the code. Any contributions should be made upstream.

Welcome to ArcGIS Maps SDK for Swift. This guide describes how to use the latest version of ArcGIS Maps SDK for Swift to build native mobile apps that incorporate capabilities such as 2D and 3D data visualization, geocoding, routing, and geoprocessing, for deployment to iOS devices, such as iPhones and iPads, or macOS using Mac Catalyst.
People in the field need simple, powerful tools when working with their maps. Draw Maps for ArcGIS is a replacement for paper maps and pencils, adding real time collaboration between colleagues, wherever they are.

SwiftShader was a commercial product that emulated a 3D graphics accelerator. Programs that required one could now run entirely in software, as long as you had the CPU power to run both the program and SwiftShader. In practice, this worked better than it sounds. A single-threaded program could run on one CPU core, while SwiftShader could run on any other cores. It also used highly optimized code and SSE instructions to help make it faster.
The company was acquired by Google, and the source code to SwiftShader was made available under the Apache license. It is being actively developed to this day, although there is a lot more work towards OpenGL support than Direct3D.
So. What's my interest in this? I have a game that only works properly on Windows 9x. I wanted to see if there was a way to emulate a 3D graphics accelerator within a virtual machine, so that I could play the game as it was intended. The first versions of SwiftShader were Windows 98 compatible, and it was still listed as supported in the readme files.
The first port of call was to get my hands on the old 3.0.3383 demo (dated 2010-10-27). It still stated Windows 98SE compatibility, so I thought I'd try it out. It did not load. I am skeptical that 98SE support was tested because there are several missing dependencies and missing APIs. Looking at the DLL in dependency walker I can see that it was built using Visual Studio 2010, and that compiler targets Windows XP or later.
Since the program is now open source, I wanted to see if it was possible to build myself a 9x compatible version. The earliest code available is for version 3.0.3689 (dated 2011-10-06). I also needed:
I set the toolset to 8.0 (VS2005) accordingly within the solution, and built the program. It compiled without errors. I managed to eliminate some dependencies: PSAPI was only used to check for one specific program. One extra line of code worked around the winsock issue. dbghelp.dll can be delay loaded. CreateThread needed a threadID variable for Windows 9x. Eventually, my build contained no unresolved dependencies on Windows 98SE, at least not according to dependency walker.
I couldn't work out what was causing the crash, even though I had the exact location (somewhere within the statically linked CRT library, but not recognised by IDA). It's quite difficult to debug something that only crashes on 98 and not on NT-based systems, where the compiler and tools are. So I decided to give up on a completely native build, and install KernelEx.
KernelEx extends the Windows 98SE & Me kernel with some APIs that are normally found on NT. It also works around some compatibility issues. In this case, applying KernelEx to the SwiftShader DLL allowed it to run at last.
To make SwiftShader work with a given program, you simply place the DLL in the same directory as the program. When initializing Direct3D, Windows will normally load the necessary DLLs from the SYSTEM (9x) or SYSTEM32 folder. However, the SwiftShader DLL will be found first and insert itself between the real D3D and the program. This is the same method used by D3DSpy within the DirectX SDK tools.
Did it work with my game? No. Unfortunately it does not use DirectX 9 - it uses 6.1. Before this, I always thought the same library file was used and extended for each version of DirectX. This was effectively the case between the early versions up to 7.0, but 8 and 9 have their own.
The program might still come in handy, and I may come back to this in the future. Also, in the current sources of SwiftShader (4.1) there is also a library that works with Direct3D 8. It can be built for Windows XP through Visual Studio 2017 with the XP toolchain.
However, they didn't tell me how to fix it. I'm using GLES 2.0 software rendering on the Ununtu Linux version of Android Studio and the Emulator. I checked the advanced settings in the AVD configuration but I didn't see any obvious changes to make.
This release includes bug fixes we've done since the last version. One of the important improvements is that the swiftshader library is shipped on both Linux and Windows. SwiftShader is a software 3D renderer used in Chrome that lets you use CSS 3D and WebGL even on hardware with incapable GPUs. So you can provide advanced 3D graphics independent from hardware of your users.
Last week we announced NW.js 0.25 with Chromium 61 upgrade. Chromium 61 features JavaScript modules support, Payment Request API and WebUSB. See the upstream announcement for more information. The stable upgrade contains many security fixes as well.
We made the 0.25 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 61. Thanks to the testers for their valuable feedback and bug reports. We've been working on 3 branches simultaneously: a released branch on current Chromium stable, a beta branch on Chromium beta and a 0.14 branch for legacy OS support.
There are 2 builds for each platform - normal build, and SDK build. Normal build doesn't have devtools, only SDK build does. lt can be opened by pressing F12 (Cmd-Alt-I on OSX). SDK packages also have more development tools to be exposed in the following releases, as well as the NaCl support.
Ever since the Feb 2024 update, my labels are flashing/blinking in Map Viewer and Instant App. They weren't doing this before. I've sent a link to a coworker who doesn't see the flash/blink. I've tried several things but the labels continue to do this. Newly published items since the update are doing this as well.
Or instead are you noticing that the labels very slowly fade in over many frames? I ask because your machine is using software emulation & might be hitting our VM codepath. If you are able to enable hardware acceleration, does the problem go away?
@mgeorge I'm not directly the one that has this problem, but I saw it on her screen.
It looks like in the video (blinking) when graphic acceleration is turned ON.
When turned OFF, labels aren't blinking (it seems that about gpu report given was produced when acceleration setting was turned off).
We are still looking into it. We found that updating the graphics drivers has resolved this issue on one of our test machines that is showing this. Are you able to check if you are on the latest drivers for your graphics card?
@MillionMap yes we were able to reproduce this only after downgrading the intel display drivers to 30.0.101.1191. It seems like there is a bug in the intel graphics drivers that affects a cluster of versions around that. We're currently seeing if there's anything we can do on our end to workaround the issue, but as @RussRoberts, upgrading your intel display drivers to the latest version should fix the issue.
I spent the weekend porting SwiftShader to Haiku to figure out how much work it would be to get something that resembles the VulkanSDK working. Short version: components of the Vulkan SDK can most likely be built individually as packages. Getting the Vulkan SDK working intact on Haiku will take some doing. Anyway, that can be sorted out later.
GLFW
What I did was took the source from the existing GLFW package in HaikuPorts and added Vulkan support in it. The existing implementation had all the right facilities and just need some small additions. For instance, I added a function called glfwGetHaikuView to return a pointer to the BView that the GLFW window creates. The BView is passed onto the Vulkan create surface function and later used by the swapchain. More below.
