layer_configuration.md does not describe programmatic configuration of layers

[KarenGhavam-lunarG]

The file https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/blob/main/LAYER_CONFIGURATION.md does not explain how to enable layers programmatically. I think it should. This file is used by the SDK and referenced by all other layers in the SDK as the general guide on how to configure layers.

I know we are working on defining an API for programmatically configuring layers, should we wait to update this referenced documentation until that API is defined and made public? @christophe-lunarg

The existing vk_layer_settings_ext.h allows setting layer options programmatically. When the updated version arrives with the rework the method will be very similar with the exception of having to include the header file.

See #5895. layer_configuration.md describes how to configure layers and is used in the SDK documentation and referenced by all SDK layers. I believe this document should be updated with how to configure layers programmatically.

Unless there is an explicit request from a user, I think we should way until the updated extenion is ready as this will be relatively soon. (No need to communicate too much on something that we are about to retire)

Assigning @christophe-lunarg due to their recent work in VVL.

This issue is resolved by KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Utility-Libraries#85

[spencer-lunarg]

as @christophe-lunarg said, this seems resolved and actually just missing someone closing the issue
