Intellisense for Vulkan-hpp module not working with Visual Studio

[SaschaWillems]

Intellisense for C++ Modules has always been hit-or-miss, but even with an up-to-date install, intellisense does not work at all. Code does compile, but working on code like that is impossible:

It looks like the vulkan-hpp module needs to be marked as a module at project level.

So explicitly adding the module to each and every chapter's solution does make intellisense work. Compilation then fails as the solution also contains a separate project for the VulkanCpp-Module. Removing that project resolves that.

With these changes both building AND intellisense works for me. Not sure how to adjust CMake for this though.

I have the same issue in VS Code when using new c++ modules on macOS.

i have added VukanCppModule to CMakeList, project compiles, but sadly no intelisense

add_library(VulkanCppModule)
add_library(Vulkan::cppm ALIAS VulkanCppModule)

target_compile_definitions(VulkanCppModule
        PUBLIC
        VULKAN_HPP_DISPATCH_LOADER_DYNAMIC=1
        VULKAN_HPP_NO_STRUCT_CONSTRUCTORS
)
target_include_directories(VulkanCppModule
        PRIVATE
        "${Vulkan_INCLUDE_DIRS}"
)
target_link_libraries(VulkanCppModule
        PUBLIC
        "${Vulkan_LIBRARIES}"
)

set_target_properties(VulkanCppModule PROPERTIES CXX_STANDARD 20)

target_sources(VulkanCppModule
        PUBLIC
        FILE_SET cxx_modules TYPE CXX_MODULES
        BASE_DIRS
        "${Vulkan_INCLUDE_DIRS}"
        FILES
        "${Vulkan_INCLUDE_DIRS}/vulkan/vulkan.cppm"
)

My workaround is to use neovim :D

Finally found something that will push me deep into this rabbit hole without regrets :)
