Dyamic shader uniform layouts?

[DiThi]

Similar to #893, is there a way to set the amount and type of uniforms at run time? Is it easier considering I do something like this?

let uniform_buffer = vulkano::buffer::cpu_pool::CpuBufferPool::<[f32; 16]>::new(
    device.clone(),
    vulkano::buffer::BufferUsage::all(),
);
[...]
// p is a pointer of a slice, l is its length
assert!(l == 16 * 4);
let uniform_buffer_subbuffer = {
    let uniform_data = unsafe { *(p as *mut [f32; 16]) };
    uniform_buffer.next(uniform_data).unwrap()
};

Looks like the data is fed as-is to vulkan (and buffer type doesn't matter as long as it's the same size), so all I would have to do is being able to create uniform buffers of different byte sizes.

You can allocate (sub)buffers of any size and write them with any data you wish, for runtime data that would probably be [u8].
