+/**
+ * # CategoryGPU
+ *
+ * The GPU API offers a cross-platform way for apps to talk to modern graphics
+ * hardware. It offers both 3D graphics and compute support, in the style of
+ * Metal, Vulkan, and Direct3D 12.
+ *
+ * A basic workflow might be something like this:
+ *
+ * The app creates a GPU device with SDL_CreateGPUDevice(), and assigns it to
+ * a window with SDL_ClaimWindowForGPUDevice()--although strictly speaking you
+ * can render offscreen entirely, perhaps for image processing, and not use a
+ * window at all.
+ *
+ * Next, the app prepares static data (things that are created once and used
+ * over and over). For example:
+ *
+ * - Shaders (programs that run on the GPU): use SDL_CreateGPUShader().
+ * - Vertex buffers (arrays of geometry data) and other rendering data: use
+ *   SDL_CreateGPUBuffer() and SDL_UploadToGPUBuffer().
+ * - Textures (images): use SDL_CreateGPUTexture() and
+ *   SDL_UploadToGPUTexture().
+ * - Samplers (how textures should be read from): use SDL_CreateGPUSampler().
+ * - Render pipelines (precalculated rendering state): use
+ *   SDL_CreateGPUGraphicsPipeline()
+ *
+ * To render, the app creates one or more command buffers, with
+ * SDL_AcquireGPUCommandBuffer(). Command buffers collect rendering
+ * instructions that will be submitted to the GPU in batch. Complex scenes can
+ * use multiple command buffers, maybe configured across multiple threads in
+ * parallel, as long as they are submitted in the correct order, but many apps
+ * will just need one command buffer per frame.
+ *
+ * Rendering can happen to a texture (what other APIs call a "render target")
+ * or it can happen to the swapchain texture (which is just a special texture
+ * that represents a window's contents). The app can use
+ * SDL_WaitAndAcquireGPUSwapchainTexture() to render to the window.
+ *
+ * Rendering actually happens in a Render Pass, which is encoded into a
+ * command buffer. One can encode multiple render passes (or alternate between
+ * render and compute passes) in a single command buffer, but many apps might
+ * simply need a single render pass in a single command buffer. Render Passes
+ * can render to up to four color textures and one depth texture
+ * simultaneously. If the set of textures being rendered to needs to change,
+ * the Render Pass must be ended and a new one must be begun.
+ *
+ * The app calls SDL_BeginGPURenderPass(). Then it sets states it needs for
+ * each draw:
+ *
+ * - SDL_BindGPUGraphicsPipeline()
+ * - SDL_SetGPUViewport()
+ * - SDL_BindGPUVertexBuffers()
+ * - SDL_BindGPUVertexSamplers()
+ * - etc
+ *
+ * Then, make the actual draw commands with these states:
+ *
+ * - SDL_DrawGPUPrimitives()
+ * - SDL_DrawGPUPrimitivesIndirect()
+ * - SDL_DrawGPUIndexedPrimitivesIndirect()
+ * - etc
+ *
+ * After all the drawing commands for a pass are complete, the app should call
+ * SDL_EndGPURenderPass(). Once a render pass ends all render-related state is
+ * reset.
+ *
+ * The app can begin new Render Passes and make new draws in the same command
+ * buffer until the entire scene is rendered.
+ *
+ * Once all of the render commands for the scene are complete, the app calls
+ * SDL_SubmitGPUCommandBuffer() to send it to the GPU for processing.
+ *
+ * If the app needs to read back data from texture or buffers, the API has an
+ * efficient way of doing this, provided that the app is willing to tolerate
+ * some latency. When the app uses SDL_DownloadFromGPUTexture() or
+ * SDL_DownloadFromGPUBuffer(), submitting the command buffer with
+ * SDL_SubmitGPUCommandBufferAndAcquireFence() will return a fence handle that
+ * the app can poll or wait on in a thread. Once the fence indicates that the
+ * command buffer is done processing, it is safe to read the downloaded data.
+ * Make sure to call SDL_ReleaseGPUFence() when done with the fence.
+ *
+ * The API also has "compute" support. The app calls SDL_BeginGPUComputePass()
+ * with compute-writeable textures and/or buffers, which can be written to in
+ * a compute shader. Then it sets states it needs for the compute dispatches:
+ *
+ * - SDL_BindGPUComputePipeline()
+ * - SDL_BindGPUComputeStorageBuffers()
+ * - SDL_BindGPUComputeStorageTextures()
+ *
+ * Then, dispatch compute work:
+ *
+ * - SDL_DispatchGPUCompute()
+ *
+ * For advanced users, this opens up powerful GPU-driven workflows.
+ *
+ * Graphics and compute pipelines require the use of shaders, which as
+ * mentioned above are small programs executed on the GPU. Each backend
+ * (Vulkan, Metal, D3D12) requires a different shader format. When the app
+ * creates the GPU device, the app lets the device know which shader formats
+ * the app can provide. It will then select the appropriate backend depending
+ * on the available shader formats and the backends available on the platform.
+ * When creating shaders, the app must provide the correct shader format for
+ * the selected backend. If you would like to learn more about why the API
+ * works this way, there is a detailed
+ * [blog post](https://moonside.games/posts/layers-all-the-way-down/)
+ * explaining this situation.
+ *
+ * It is optimal for apps to pre-compile the shader formats they might use,
+ * but for ease of use SDL provides a separate project,
+ * [SDL_shadercross](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_shadercross)
+ * , for performing runtime shader cross-compilation. It also has a CLI
+ * interface for offline precompilation as well.
+ *
+ * This is an extremely quick overview that leaves out several important
+ * details. Already, though, one can see that GPU programming can be quite
+ * complex! If you just need simple 2D graphics, the
+ * [Render API](https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3/CategoryRender)
+ * is much easier to use but still hardware-accelerated. That said, even for
+ * 2D applications the performance benefits and expressiveness of the GPU API
+ * are significant.
+ *
+ * The GPU API targets a feature set with a wide range of hardware support and
+ * ease of portability. It is designed so that the app won't have to branch
+ * itself by querying feature support. If you need cutting-edge features with
+ * limited hardware support, this API is probably not for you.
+ *
+ * Examples demonstrating proper usage of this API can be found
+ * [here](https://github.com/TheSpydog/SDL_gpu_examples)
+ * .
+ *
+ * ## Performance considerations
+ *
+ * Here are some basic tips for maximizing your rendering performance.
+ *
+ * - Beginning a new render pass is relatively expensive. Use as few render
+ *   passes as you can.
+ * - Minimize the amount of state changes. For example, binding a pipeline is
+ *   relatively cheap, but doing it hundreds of times when you don't need to
+ *   will slow the performance significantly.
+ * - Perform your data uploads as early as possible in the frame.
+ * - Don't churn resources. Creating and releasing resources is expensive.
+ *   It's better to create what you need up front and cache it.
+ * - Don't use uniform buffers for large amounts of data (more than a matrix
+ *   or so). Use a storage buffer instead.
+ * - Use cycling correctly. There is a detailed explanation of cycling further
+ *   below.
+ * - Use culling techniques to minimize pixel writes. The less writing the GPU
+ *   has to do the better. Culling can be a very advanced topic but even
+ *   simple culling techniques can boost performance significantly.
+ *
+ * In general try to remember the golden rule of performance: doing things is
+ * more expensive than not doing things. Don't Touch The Driver!
+ *
+ * ## FAQ
+ *
+ * **Question: When are you adding more advanced features, like ray tracing or
+ * mesh shaders?**
+ *
+ * Answer: We don't have immediate plans to add more bleeding-edge features,
+ * but we certainly might in the future, when these features prove worthwhile,
+ * and reasonable to implement across several platforms and underlying APIs.
+ * So while these things are not in the "never" category, they are definitely
+ * not "near future" items either.
+ *
+ * **Question: Why is my shader not working?**
+ *
+ * Answer: A common oversight when using shaders is not properly laying out
+ * the shader resources/registers correctly. The GPU API is very strict with
+ * how it wants resources to be laid out and it's difficult for the API to
+ * automatically validate shaders to see if they have a compatible layout. See
+ * the documentation for SDL_CreateGPUShader() and
+ * SDL_CreateGPUComputePipeline() for information on the expected layout.
+ *
+ * Another common issue is not setting the correct number of samplers,
+ * textures, and buffers in SDL_GPUShaderCreateInfo. If possible use shader
+ * reflection to extract the required information from the shader
+ * automatically instead of manually filling in the struct's values.
+ *
+ * **Question: My application isn't performing very well. Is this the GPU
+ * API's fault?**
+ *
+ * Answer: No. Long answer: The GPU API is a relatively thin layer over the
+ * underlying graphics API. While it's possible that we have done something
+ * inefficiently, it's very unlikely especially if you are relatively
+ * inexperienced with GPU rendering. Please see the performance tips above and
+ * make sure you are following them. Additionally, tools like
+ * [RenderDoc](https://renderdoc.org/)
+ * can be very helpful for diagnosing incorrect behavior and performance
+ * issues.
+ *
+ * ## System Requirements
+ *
+ * ### Vulkan
+ *
+ * SDL driver name: "vulkan" (for use in SDL_CreateGPUDevice() and
+ * SDL_PROP_GPU_DEVICE_CREATE_NAME_STRING)
+ *
+ * Supported on Windows, Linux, Nintendo Switch, and certain Android devices.
+ * Requires Vulkan 1.0 with the following extensions and device features:
+ *
+ * - `VK_KHR_swapchain`
+ * - `VK_KHR_maintenance1`
+ * - `independentBlend`
+ * - `imageCubeArray`
+ * - `depthClamp`
+ * - `shaderClipDistance`
+ * - `drawIndirectFirstInstance`
+ * - `sampleRateShading`
+ *
+ * You can remove some of these requirements to increase compatibility with
+ * Android devices by using these properties when creating the GPU device with
+ * SDL_CreateGPUDeviceWithProperties():
+ *
+ * - SDL_PROP_GPU_DEVICE_CREATE_FEATURE_CLIP_DISTANCE_BOOLEAN
+ * - SDL_PROP_GPU_DEVICE_CREATE_FEATURE_DEPTH_CLAMPING_BOOLEAN
+ * - SDL_PROP_GPU_DEVICE_CREATE_FEATURE_INDIRECT_DRAW_FIRST_INSTANCE_BOOLEAN
+ * - SDL_PROP_GPU_DEVICE_CREATE_FEATURE_ANISOTROPY_BOOLEAN
+ *
+ * ### D3D12
+ *
+ * SDL driver name: "direct3d12"
+ *
+ * Supported on Windows 10 or newer, Xbox One (GDK), and Xbox Series X|S
+ * (GDK). Requires a GPU that supports DirectX 12 Feature Level 11_0 and
+ * Resource Binding Tier 2 or above.
+ *
+ * You can remove the Tier 2 resource binding requirement to support Intel
+ * Haswell and Broadwell GPUs by using this property when creating the GPU
+ * device with SDL_CreateGPUDeviceWithProperties():
+ *
+ * - SDL_PROP_GPU_DEVICE_CREATE_D3D12_ALLOW_FEWER_RESOURCE_SLOTS_BOOLEAN
+ *
+ * ### Metal
+ *
+ * SDL driver name: "metal"
+ *
+ * Supported on macOS 10.14+ and iOS/tvOS 13.0+. Hardware requirements vary by
+ * operating system:
+ *
+ * - macOS requires an Apple Silicon or
+ *   [Intel Mac2 family](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metal/mtlfeatureset/mtlfeatureset_macos_gpufamily2_v1?language=objc)
+ *   GPU
+ * - iOS/tvOS requires an A9 GPU or newer
+ * - iOS Simulator and tvOS Simulator are unsupported
+ *
+ * ## Coordinate System
+ *
+ * The GPU API uses a left-handed coordinate system, following the convention
+ * of D3D12 and Metal. Specifically:
+ *
+ * - **Normalized Device Coordinates:** The lower-left corner has an x,y
+ *   coordinate of `(-1.0, -1.0)`. The upper-right corner is `(1.0, 1.0)`. Z
+ *   values range from `[0.0, 1.0]` where 0 is the near plane.
+ * - **Viewport Coordinates:** The top-left corner has an x,y coordinate of
+ *   `(0, 0)` and extends to the bottom-right corner at `(viewportWidth,
+ *   viewportHeight)`. +Y is down.
+ * - **Texture Coordinates:** The top-left corner has an x,y coordinate of
+ *   `(0, 0)` and extends to the bottom-right corner at `(1.0, 1.0)`. +Y is
+ *   down.
+ *
+ * If the backend driver differs from this convention (e.g. Vulkan, which has
+ * an NDC that assumes +Y is down), SDL will automatically convert the
+ * coordinate system behind the scenes, so you don't need to perform any
+ * coordinate flipping logic in your shaders.
+ *
+ * ## Uniform Data
+ *
+ * Uniforms are for passing data to shaders. The uniform data will be constant
+ * across all executions of the shader.
+ *
+ * There are 4 available uniform slots per shader stage (where the stages are
+ * vertex, fragment, and compute). Uniform data pushed to a slot on a stage
+ * keeps its value throughout the command buffer until you call the relevant
+ * Push function on that slot again.
+ *
+ * For example, you could write your vertex shaders to read a camera matrix
+ * from uniform binding slot 0, push the camera matrix at the start of the
+ * command buffer, and that data will be used for every subsequent draw call.
+ *
+ * It is valid to push uniform data during a render or compute pass.
+ *
+ * Uniforms are best for pushing small amounts of data. If you are pushing
+ * more than a matrix or two per call you should consider using a storage
+ * buffer instead.
+ *
+ * ## A Note On Cycling
+ *
+ * When using a command buffer, operations do not occur immediately - they
+ * occur some time after the command buffer is submitted.
+ *
+ * When a resource is used in a pending or active command buffer, it is
+ * considered to be "bound". When a resource is no longer used in any pending
+ * or active command buffers, it is considered to be "unbound".
+ *
+ * If data resources are bound, it is unspecified when that data will be
+ * unbound unless you acquire a fence when submitting the command buffer and
+ * wait on it. However, this doesn't mean you need to track resource usage
+ * manually.
+ *
+ * All of the functions and structs that involve writing to a resource have a
+ * "cycle" bool. SDL_GPUTransferBuffer, SDL_GPUBuffer, and SDL_GPUTexture all
+ * effectively function as ring buffers on internal resources. When cycle is
+ * true, if the resource is bound, the cycle rotates to the next unbound
+ * internal resource, or if none are available, a new one is created. This
+ * means you don't have to worry about complex state tracking and
+ * synchronization as long as cycling is correctly employed.
+ *
+ * For example: you can call SDL_MapGPUTransferBuffer(), write texture data,
+ * SDL_UnmapGPUTransferBuffer(), and then SDL_UploadToGPUTexture(). The next
+ * time you write texture data to the transfer buffer, if you set the cycle
+ * param to true, you don't have to worry about overwriting any data that is
+ * not yet uploaded.
+ *
+ * Another example: If you are using a texture in a render pass every frame,
+ * this can cause a data dependency between frames. If you set cycle to true
+ * in the SDL_GPUColorTargetInfo struct, you can prevent this data dependency.
+ *
+ * Cycling will never undefine already bound data. When cycling, all data in
+ * the resource is considered to be undefined for subsequent commands until
+ * that data is written again. You must take care not to read undefined data.
+ *
+ * Note that when cycling a texture, the entire texture will be cycled, even
+ * if only part of the texture is used in the call, so you must consider the
+ * entire texture to contain undefined data after cycling.
+ *
+ * You must also take care not to overwrite a section of data that has been
+ * referenced in a command without cycling first. It is OK to overwrite
+ * unreferenced data in a bound resource without cycling, but overwriting a
+ * section of data that has already been referenced will produce unexpected
+ * results.
+ *
+ * ## Debugging
+ *
+ * At some point of your GPU journey, you will probably encounter issues that
+ * are not traceable with regular debugger - for example, your code compiles
+ * but you get an empty screen, or your shader fails in runtime.
+ *
+ * For debugging such cases, there are tools that allow visually inspecting
+ * the whole GPU frame, every drawcall, every bound resource, memory buffers,
+ * etc. They are the following, per platform:
+ *
+ * * For Windows/Linux, use
+ *   [RenderDoc](https://renderdoc.org/)
+ * * For MacOS (Metal), use Xcode built-in debugger (Open XCode, go to Debug >
+ *   Debug Executable..., select your application, set "GPU Frame Capture" to
+ *   "Metal" in scheme "Options" window, run your app, and click the small
+ *   Metal icon on the bottom to capture a frame)
+ *
+ * Aside from that, you may want to enable additional debug layers to receive
+ * more detailed error messages, based on your GPU backend:
+ *
+ * * For D3D12, the debug layer is an optional feature that can be installed
+ *   via "Windows Settings -> System -> Optional features" and adding the
+ *   "Graphics Tools" optional feature.
+ * * For Vulkan, you will need to install Vulkan SDK on Windows, and on Linux,
+ *   you usually have some sort of `vulkan-validation-layers` system package
+ *   that should be installed.
+ * * For Metal, it should be enough just to run the application from XCode to
+ *   receive detailed errors or warnings in the output.
+ *
+ * Don't hesitate to use tools as RenderDoc when encountering runtime issues
+ * or unexpected output on screen, quick GPU frame inspection can usually help
+ * you fix the majority of such problems.

+ * - `SDL_PROP_GPU_DEVICE_CREATE_FEATURE_CLIP_DISTANCE_BOOLEAN`: Enable Vulkan

+ *   capacity. Defaults to false.
+ *
+ * With the Vulkan backend:
+ *
+ * - `SDL_PROP_GPU_DEVICE_CREATE_VULKAN_REQUIRE_HARDWARE_ACCELERATION_BOOLEAN`:
+ *   By default, Vulkan device enumeration includes drivers of all types,
+ *   including software renderers (for example, the Lavapipe Mesa driver).
+ *   This can be useful if your application _requires_ SDL_GPU, but if you can
+ *   provide your own fallback renderer (for example, an OpenGL renderer) this
+ *   property can be set to true. Defaults to false.
+ * - `SDL_PROP_GPU_DEVICE_CREATE_VULKAN_OPTIONS_POINTER`: a pointer to an
+ *   SDL_GPUVulkanOptions structure to be processed during device creation.
+ *   This allows configuring a variety of Vulkan-specific options such as

+ * - [[texture]]: Sampled textures, followed by storage textures
+ * - [[sampler]]: Samplers with indices corresponding to the sampled textures
+ * - [[buffer]]: Uniform buffers, followed by storage buffers. Vertex buffer 0
