/**
 * MoltenVK configuration settings.
 *
 * To be active, some configuration settings must be set before a VkDevice is created.
 * See the description of the individual configuration structure members for more information.
 *
 * There are three mechanisms for setting the values of the MoltenVK configuration parameters:
 *   - Runtime API via the vkGetMoltenVKConfigurationMVK()/vkSetMoltenVKConfigurationMVK() functions.
 *   - Application runtime environment variables.
 *   - Build settings at MoltenVK build time.
 *
 * To change the MoltenVK configuration settings at runtime using a programmatic API,
 * use the vkGetMoltenVKConfigurationMVK() and vkSetMoltenVKConfigurationMVK() functions
 * to retrieve, modify, and set a copy of the MVKConfiguration structure. To be active,
 * some configuration settings must be set before a VkInstance or VkDevice is created.
 * See the description of each member for more information.
 *
 * The initial value of each of the configuration settings can established at runtime
 * by a corresponding environment variable, or if the environment variable is not set,
 * by a corresponding build setting at the time MoltenVK is compiled. The environment
 * variable and build setting for each configuration parameter share the same name.
 *
 * For example, the initial value of the shaderConversionFlipVertexY configuration setting
 * is set by the MVK_CONFIG_SHADER_CONVERSION_FLIP_VERTEX_Y at runtime, or by the
 * MVK_CONFIG_SHADER_CONVERSION_FLIP_VERTEX_Y build setting when MoltenVK is compiled.
 *
 * This structure may be extended as new features are added to MoltenVK. If you are linking to
 * an implementation of MoltenVK that was compiled from a different MVK_CONFIGURATION_API_VERSION
 * than your app was, the size of this structure in your app may be larger or smaller than the
 * struct in MoltenVK. See the description of the vkGetMoltenVKConfigurationMVK() and
 * vkSetMoltenVKConfigurationMVK() functions for information about how to handle this.
 *
 * TO SUPPORT DYNAMIC LINKING TO THIS STRUCTURE AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, THIS STRUCTURE SHOULD NOT
 * BE CHANGED EXCEPT TO ADD ADDITIONAL MEMBERS ON THE END. EXISTING MEMBERS, AND THEIR ORDER,
 * SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED.

	 * to the Vulkan queue. This allows a single Metal command buffer to be used for all of the
	 * Vulkan command buffers in a queue submission. The Metal command buffer is filled on the
	 * thread that processes the command queue submission.
	 *
	 * If set to any value other than MVK_CONFIG_PREFILL_METAL_COMMAND_BUFFERS_STYLE_NO_PREFILL,
	 * where possible, a Metal command buffer will be created and filled when each Vulkan
	 * command buffer is filled. For applications that parallelize the filling of Vulkan
	 * commmand buffers across multiple threads, this allows the Metal command buffers to also
	 * be filled on the same parallel thread. Because each command buffer is filled separately,
	 * this requires that each Vulkan command buffer have a dedicated Metal command buffer.
	 *
	 * See the definition of the MVKPrefillMetalCommandBuffersStyle enumeration above for
	 * descriptions of the various values that can be used for this setting. The differences
	 * are primarily distinguished by how memory recovery is handled for autoreleased Metal
	 * objects that are created under the covers as the commands added to the Vulkan command
	 * buffer are encoded into the corresponding Metal command buffer. You can decide whether
	 * your app will recover all autoreleased Metal objects, or how agressively MoltenVK should
	 * recover autoreleased Metal objects, based on your approach to command buffer filling.
	 *
	 * Depending on the nature of your application, you may find performance is improved by filling
	 * the Metal command buffers on parallel threads, or you may find that performance is improved by
	 * consolidating all Vulkan command buffers onto a single Metal command buffer during queue submission.
	 *
	 * When enabling this feature, be aware that one Metal command buffer is required for each Vulkan
	 * command buffer. Depending on the number of command buffers that you use, you may also need to
	 * change the value of the maxActiveMetalCommandBuffersPerQueue setting.
	 *
	 * If this feature is enabled, be aware that if you have recorded commands to a Vulkan command buffer,
	 * and then choose to reset that command buffer instead of submitting it, the corresponding prefilled
	 * Metal command buffer will still be submitted. This is because Metal command buffers do not support
	 * the concept of being reset after being filled. Depending on when and how often you do this,
	 * it may cause unexpected visual artifacts and unnecessary GPU load.
	 *
	 * Prefilling of a Metal command buffer will not occur during the filling of secondary command
	 * buffers (VK_COMMAND_BUFFER_LEVEL_SECONDARY), or for primary command buffers that are intended
	 * to be submitted to multiple queues concurrently (VK_COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_SIMULTANEOUS_USE_BIT).

/**
 * Sets the MoltenVK configuration settings to those found in the pConfiguration structure.
 *
 * To change a specific configuration value, call vkGetMoltenVKConfigurationMVK()
 * to retrieve the current configuration, make changes, and call
 * vkSetMoltenVKConfigurationMVK() to update all of the values.
 *
 * The VkInstance object you provide here is ignored, and a VK_NULL_HANDLE value can be provided.
 * This function can be called before the VkInstance has been created. It is safe to call this function
 * with a VkInstance retrieved from a different layer in the Vulkan SDK Loader and Layers framework.
 *
 * To be active, some configuration settings must be set before a VkInstance or VkDevice
 * is created. See the description of the MVKConfiguration members for more information.
 *
 * If you are linking to an implementation of MoltenVK that was compiled from a different
 * MVK_CONFIGURATION_API_VERSION than your app was, the size of the MVKConfiguration structure
 * in your app may be larger or smaller than the same struct as expected by MoltenVK.
 *
 * When calling this function, set the value of *pConfigurationSize to sizeof(MVKConfiguration),
 * to tell MoltenVK the limit of the size of your MVKConfiguration structure. Upon return from
 * this function, the value of *pConfigurationSize will hold the actual number of bytes copied
 * out of your passed MVKConfiguration structure, which will be the smaller of what your app
 * thinks is the size of MVKConfiguration, and what MoltenVK thinks it is. This represents the
 * safe access area within the structure for both MoltenVK and your app.
 *
 * If the size that MoltenVK expects for MVKConfiguration is different than the value passed in
 * *pConfigurationSize, this function will return VK_INCOMPLETE, otherwise it will return VK_SUCCESS.
 *
 * Although it is not necessary, you can use this function to determine in advance the value
 * that MoltenVK expects the size of MVKConfiguration to be by setting the value of pConfiguration
 * to NULL. In that case, this function will set *pConfigurationSize to the size that MoltenVK
 * expects MVKConfiguration to be.
