Zig Metal Wrapper

A Zig wrapper for Apple's Metal API, focusing on compute shaders.

Prerequisites

To use this library, you must have a macOS environment with Metal support.

Current Status

The wrapper provides a complete solution for Metal compute operations:

• Metal initialization and cleanup
• Device creation and name querying
• Command queue creation
• Buffer creation and memory management
• Shader loading and compilation
• Compute pipeline state creation
• Command encoding and execution
• Synchronous and asynchronous execution
• Comprehensive error handling
• Multiple example applications from simple to advanced

Usage Example (Current)

const std = @import("std");
const metal = @import("metal");

pub fn main() !void {
    var device = try metal.Device.createDefault();
    defer device.deinit();

    const name = try device.getName(allocator);
    defer allocator.free(name);

    std.debug.print("Metal device: {s}\n", .{name});
}
