Please let us know when it's been removed from Khronos headers and we'll grab new ones.

Thanks!

That's incorrect, see https://github.com/spurious/SDL-mirror/blob/d2fcd08e539f879ba1cfe864a5fd310cf8deb72b/src/video/mir/SDL_mirvulkan.c

Oh sorry, you're correct. I think we're also planning to remove the Mir code from SDL.

Ryan, do you know the status of that?

Any update? We'd like to move the extension removal process along. If it's going to take a long time to rip out Mir support, you can carry a version of the headers internally that still contains VK_KHR_mir_surface to keep your code building.

Last we spoke, the opinion of the Mir developers was: we're moving away from this to turn Mir into a Wayland client, so hold onto this code a little longer.

But honestly? Has anyone outside of the Mir project ever used this, and will anyone ever use this code in SDL? I suspect the answer is no and no.

I say we dump it now, before 2.0.9. I'll yank it today if you agree, Sam.

Oh, to be clear, this removes the Mir backend from SDL entirely, but the Vulkan headers still have it. But we aren't using this part of the Vulkan headers now, if someone wants to update those.

+1 from me as well, and thanks for removing!

FYI, it was removed from the headers in the latest Vulkan spec update.
