184: added test to hello-compute example r=kvark a=emmetthebarnraiser I wasn't exactly sure of the proper way to test async stuff, but this is a strategy that seemed to work for me. Let me know if there is anything you would like me to change, or if this isn't something that you would like to add to the examples! Co-authored-by: Brian Frazho <befrazho@gmail.com>
wgpu-rs
This is an idiomatic Rust wrapper over wgpu-core. It's designed to be suitable for general purpose graphics and computation needs of Rust community. It currently only works for the native platform, in the future aims to support WASM/Emscripten platforms as well.

Usage
Running an example
All examples are located under the examples directory. We are using the default syntax for running examples, as found in the Cargo documentation.
cargo run --example cube
Hello Compute
hello-* examples show barebones setup without any helper code.
For "hello-compute", pass 4 numbers separated by spaces as arguments:
cargo run --example hello-compute 1 2 3 4
More examples can be found under the examples directory.

Development
If you need to test local fixes to gfx-rs or other dependencies, the simplest way is to add a Cargo patch. For example, when working on DX12 backend on Windows, you can check out the "hal-0.2" branch of gfx-rs repo and add this to the end of "Cargo.toml":
[patch.crates-io]
gfx-backend-dx12 = { path = "../gfx/src/backend/dx12" }
gfx-hal = { path = "../gfx/src/hal" }
If a version needs to be changed, you need to to do cargo update -p gfx-backend-dx12.
