在 iOS 设备上 Swift 3 中设置 Metal
Setting up Metal in Swift 3 on an iOS device
我一直在尝试将 Apple 的 MetalBasicTessellation 项目转换为在 iPad Air 3 上的 swift 3 中工作，但迄今为止没有成功。令人沮丧的是，该项目带有一个 iOS 实现（用 objectiveC 和一个 swift 游乐场编写），但没有 swift 3 实现。
我已经得到要编译的代码，但是在我的 iPad 上 运行 失败，出现以下错误：
2017-05-14 14:25:54.268400-0700 MetalBasicTessellation[2436:570250] -[MTLRenderPipelineDescriptorInternal validateWithDevice:], line 1728: error 'tessellation is only supported on MTLFeatureSet_iOS_GPUFamily3_v1 and later'
我很确定 iPad Air 2 是合规的，但我感觉这个错误是由于 MetalKitView 配置不当造成的。我已经对项目的 objective-c 和 playground 文件进行了逆向工程，但我已经尽了我目前的专业知识所能理解的范围。

docs for MTLFeatureSet_iOS_GPUFamily3_v1 说：

同时，iOS Device Compatibility Reference: Hardware GPU Information 文章说 iPad Air 2 有一个 A8 GPU。
我不相信你的设备有能力。
一般来说，MTKView的配置不会影响所支持的功能集。这是设备固有的（硬件和 OS 版本的组合）。您可以使用 supportsFeatureSet(_:) method of MTLDevice 查询设备是否支持给定的功能集。由于可以（并且通常）独立于任何其他对象（例如 MTKView）获取设备，因此功能集支持不能依赖于此类其他对象。
