Cannot create vk::raii::ImageView with emplace_back on swapChainImageViews (clangd/MSVC/vulkan-raii error)

[XavierBeheydt]

Problem Description

When following the Vulkan tutorial's ImageViews section (Source page), I attempted to create the image views as shown:

swapChainImageViews.emplace_back(device, imageViewCreateInfo);

However, this triggers a build error with clangd:

In template: no matching function for call to 'construct_at'

My environment:

• Microsoft Visual Studio Build Tools 2022
• CMake 3.31.6-msvc6
• Clang 9.1.5
• clangd language server 19.1.5
• Lunarg Vulkan SDK 1.4.335.0

The build errors I get:

Workaround

As a workaround, I am currently using:

swapChainImageViews.push_back(vk::raii::ImageView(device, imageViewCreateInfo));

This change allows my project to build and run. Can you clarify why emplace_back fails here, and whether this is a documentation/tutorial issue or an environment/compatibility issue? Thank you!

This was a mistake on my part.
