.NET Core support on Linux

See original GitHub issue

Currently VulkanCore works on Linux systems when run under Mono. Running under .NET Core does not work because there is no elegant way to forward Platform Invoke calls from vulkan-1.dll to vulkan.so.

https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/930

It shouldn’t be too big of an issue at the moment since Xamarin and more popular Linux .NET GUI systems are all still Mono based.

Possible workaround to support .NET Core on Linux would be to duplicate all the Platform Invoke methods (DllImport) to include both vulkan-1.dll and vulkan.so variants and choose appropriate method call at runtime based on current platform. The downside is that it adds a lot of boilerplate to the source and potentially adds a minor performance cost.

It’s such a horrible workaround, but hey, if they can’t get organised about DllMap…

Another potential solution which may allow the usage of DllImport in a cross-platform manner: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/930#issuecomment-328542896
