    Description

      (Cross-posted on stackexchange.)

      The Vulkan under QML example runs for at most a couple of seconds before crashing with the following error:

      libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type std::__1::system_error: mutex lock failed: Invalid argument
      

      While the animation looks correct during operation, the QML label is not displayed correctly (see attached image).

      I'm running macOS Catalina with MoltenVK 1.1.130 (LunarG Vulkan SDK) and Qt 5.14.0. I've also tried MoltenVK 1.2.131, with the same result. When using MoltenVK with MVK_LOG_LEVEL_INFO enabled, the following message is printed twice every frame:

      [mvk-info] vkCreateMacOSSurfaceMVK(): You are not calling this function from the main thread. NSView should only be accessed from the main thread. When using this function outside the main thread, consider passing the CAMetalLayer itself in VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK::pView, instead of the NSView.
      

      The MVK error message makes it appear a though the Vulkan integration is broken: Not only is vkCreateMacOSSurfaceMVK called twice every frame, but it also seems to be called from the render thread (not the GUI thread/main thread).

      In order to even use Qt with Vulkan, you must compile Qt from source and provide the Vulkan headers. The configuration call I used to compile Qt is:

      ../qt5/configure -developer-build -skip qtquick3d -skip qtwebengine -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -confirm-license -vulkan -I $VULKAN_SDK/../MoltenVK/include -L $VULKAN_SDK/lib
      

      My environment variables are set according to the LunarG documentation:

      export VULKAN_SDK="$HOME/SDK/vulkansdk-macos-1.1.130.0/macOS"
      export PATH="$VULKAN_SDK/bin:$PATH"
      export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$VULKAN_SDK/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"
      export VK_ICD_FILENAMES="$VULKAN_SDK/etc/vulkan/icd.d/MoltenVK_icd.json"
      export VK_LAYER_PATH="$VULKAN_SDK/etc/vulkan/explicit_layer.d"
      export VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS="VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation"
      
      export QT_VULKAN_LIB="$VULKAN_SDK/lib/libMoltenVK.dylib"
      

      Backtrace:

When using this function outside the main thread, consider passing the CAMetalLayer itself in VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK::pView, instead of the NSView.
