Change log for July 10, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.20 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 20 for this update. Github Issues: * Replaced existing reference pages by text automatically extracted from the specification source, or generated from vk.xml in some cases. This isn't a complete solution for the reference pages, but puts them in a much better state. The ref pages (only) are now placed under a CC BY open source license, which is more current than the obsolete license previously used. Further improvements to the pages should not edit them directly, but instead concentrate on the specification source from which the ref pages are being extracted (public issues 44, 55, 160; internal issue 389).

Change log for July 22, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.22 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 22 for this update. Github Issues: * Translate the subpass self-dependency language into concrete validity statements, and added a validity statement about the restrictions on layout parameters (public issue 267). * Add validity requirement that slink:VkAttachmentDescription::pname:finalLayout and slink:VkAttachmentReference::pname:layout must not be ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED or ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_PREINITIALIZED (public issue 268). * Clarify that slink:VkSubpassDescription::pname:pResolveAttachments layouts are used. Make language consistent with other attachment arrays (public issue 270). * Changed 64-bit definition for dname:VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE to work for x32 platform in +vk.xml+ and the resulting +vulkan.h+ (public issue 282). * Add missing error return code for flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties (public issue 285) * Fix several cases of stext::VkStructName.memberName markup to stext::VkStructName::pname:memberName, to match other usage in the spec, and describe this markup in the style guide (public issue 286). * Modified validity language generation script to avoid redundant common ancestor language if covered by generic parent language, and used `Both' instead of `Each' when appropriate (public issue 288). Internal Issues: * Add language about behavior of flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets when allocation fails due to fragmentation, a new error ename:VK_ERROR_FRAGMENTED_POOL, and a Note explaining the situation (internal issue 309). * For the features of code:PointSize, code:ClipDistance, and code:CullDistance, the SPIR-V capability is required to be declared on use (read or write) rather than on decoration (internal issue 359). * Have desktop versions of GLSL respect precision qualification (code:mediump and code:lowp) when compiling for Vulkan. These will get translated to SPIR-V's code:RelaxedPrecision decoration as they do with OpenGL ES versions of GLSL (ESSL). The default precision of all types is code:highp when using a desktop version (internal issue 360). * Add validity statement for slink:VkImageCreateInfo specifying that multisampled images must be two-dimensional, optimally tiled, and with a single mipmap level (internal issue 369). * Add validity statements to slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo disallowing creation of images or image views with no supported features. Made some slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo validity statements more precise and consistent. Added a Note to the <<features,features>> chapter about formats with no features (internal issue 371). * Remove +manpages+ from default build targets. Nroff outputs containing imbedded latexmath will not render properly. Fixing this is a lot of work for limited use cases (internal issue 401). Other Commits: * Fix flink:vkRenderPassBeginInfo::pname:clearValueCount validity statement to be based on attachment indices rather than the number of cleared attachments (Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers/issues/601). * Convert registry documentation from LaTeX to asciidoc source and rename from +src/spec/readme.tex+ to +src/spec/registry.txt+. * Fix lack of Oxford commas in validity language. * Lots of cleanup of generator scripts and Makefiles to move extension list for generator into the script arguments instead of the body of genvk.py, and express better dependencies between XML, scripts, and generated files.

fname:vkGetInstanceProcAddr itself is obtained in a platform- and loader-
specific manner. Typically, the loader library will export this command as a
function symbol, so applications can: link against the loader library, or
load it dynamically and look up the symbol using platform-specific APIs.
Loaders are encouraged to export function symbols for all other core
Vulkan commands as well; if this is done, then applications that use only
the core Vulkan commands have no need to use fname:vkGetInstanceProcAddr.
Function pointers to commands that do not operate on a specific instance can:
be obtained by using this command with pname:instance equal to `NULL`. The
following commands can: be accessed this way:
* flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties
* flink:vkEnumerateInstanceLayerProperties
* flink:vkCreateInstance
The returned function pointer is of type tlink:PFN_vkVoidFunction, and must
be cast to the type of the command being queried.
If pname:instance is a valid sname:VkInstance, function pointers to any
commands that operate on pname:instance or a child of pname:instance can: be
obtained. The returned function pointer must: only be called with a
dispatchable object (the first parameter) that is a child of pname:instance.
If pname:pName is not the name of a core Vulkan command, or is an
extension command for any extension not supported by any available layer or
implementation, then fname:vkGetInstanceProcAddr will return `NULL`.

[NOTE]
.editing-note
====
(Jon, Bug 14886 / Gitlab issue 4) The WSI group tentatively agreed that the
WSI extensions were special, and should get static entry points in link
libraries and prototypes in +vulkan.h+, while future extensions would have
to be dynamically loaded. If this decision is upheld by the group as a
whole, it would probably be encoded in the previous paragraph, in the WSI
extensions branch of the Specification.
However, this decision has not been fully signed off on by the entire Vulkan
WG yet AFAIK. Note that implementations typically will not support many of the
WSI extensions, so ``static entry points'' do not relieve apps of the
neccessity of runtime enabling and testing of each extension before using
it.
