Merge remote-tracking branch 'khronos-public/master' into 160811b-merge-master-to-android_layers

Update build-android/build.py and build-android/jni/Android.mk
to adjust for new shaderc build infrastructure.
Now pull shaderc from aosp to stay in sync with NDK builds.

Vulkan Ecosystem Components

This project provides Khronos official ICD loader and validation layers for Vulkan developers on Windows and Linux.

Introduction

Vulkan is an Explicit API, enabling direct control over how GPUs actually work. No (or very little) validation or error checking is done inside a Vulkan driver. Applications have full control and responsibility. Any errors in how Vulkan is used often result in a crash. This project provides standard validation layers that can be enabled to ease development by helping developers verify their applications correctly use the Vulkan API.

Vulkan supports multiple GPUs and multiple global contexts (VkInstance). The ICD loader is necessary to support multiple GPUs and the VkInstance level Vulkan commands. Additionally, the loader manages inserting Vulkan layer libraries, including validation layers between the application and the ICD.

The following components are available in this repository:

How to Build and Run

BUILD.md includes directions for building all the components, running the validation tests and running the demo applications.

Information on how to enable the various Validation layers is in layers/README.md.

Architecture and interface information for the loader is in loader/LoaderAndLayerInterface.md.
