Add an option to disable Vulkan beta features

[Timur Kristóf]

nvpro-core currently unconditionally uses some Vulkan beta features (such as video) but Vulkan beta changes frequently and nvpro-core isn't updated frequently enough to reflect current changes.

Please make relying on beta features optional and don't require them for samples which don't use these features.

I can second this. I'm currently getting error: ‘VkVideoBindMemoryKHR’ does not name a type when trying to build https://github.com/nvpro-samples/gl_vk_meshlet_cadscene.

This MR updates the code to work with very latest Vulkan headers: #40

Thanks for bringing this up, we will update the extensions_vk.cpp. Note that this file can be updated by running python extensions_vk.py, it will pick up the lastest information from the installed Vulkan SDK.

@mklefrancois That's exactly what I did for the aforementioned PR

Hi all, we've just merged Venemo's pull request, and also made it so that extensions_vk.py doesn't generate files with prototypes for beta features by default!

It also has a new --beta flag (and a --help option!), so it's possible to generate prototypes for provisional extensions by running

extensions_vk.py --beta

This should fix the build issue with gl_vk_meshlet_cadscene. It looks like vk_video_decode's not quite building with the Vulkan 1.3.224 headers yet — I'm going to see what can be done there next week (as this Thursday and Friday are company-wide days off).

Thanks!

Thank you Neil, you effort is much appreciated.
