* Update release number to 77.
Public Issues:
* Remove redundant asciidoctor ifdef in slink:VkDeviceCreateInfo valid
usage statement (public pull request 718).
Internal Issues:
* Require that the returned slink:VkMemoryRequirements::pname:alignment
reflect the minimum alignment requirements for the buffer's usages, and
make dynamic offset alignment valid usage more explicit for
flink:vkBindBufferMemory and flink:vkCmdBindDescriptorSets (internal
issue 1170).
* Explicitly state that objects of type code:OpTypeImage,
code:OpTypeSampler, and code:OpTypeSampledImage must not be stored to in
the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>>
section (internal issue 1262).
* Clarify rules about validating descriptor set/binding against storage
class and descriptor type in the <<spirvenv-module-validation,
Validation Rules within a Module>> section, and add an anchor for and
references to the <<interfaces-resources-storage-class-correspondence,
Shader Resource and Storage Class Correspondence>> table (internal issue
1266).
* Use correct spelling of SPIR-V decoration code:NonWritable in several
places (internal issue 1298).
Other Issues:
* Update specification links to files in the old
KhronosGroup/Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers repository with
corresponding links into the new repositories that replace it.
* Move validity requirement for slink:VkSamplerCreateInfo into the valid
usage block instead of the body text, and give it a VUID.
* Use the full name of the "`style guide`" in a reference in the
description of slink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties, update the
<<vulkan-styleguide, link to that document>>, and use the the full name
in the registry index page.

This extension provides an API to create a swapchain directly on a device's
|
|
display without any underlying window system.
|
|
|
|
=== New Object Types
|
|
|
|
None
|
|
|
|
=== New Enum Constants
|
|
|
|
* Extending elink:VkStructureType:
|
|
** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DISPLAY_PRESENT_INFO_KHR
|
|
* Extending elink:VkResult:
|
|
** ename:VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DISPLAY_KHR
|
|
|
|
=== New Enums
|
|
|
|
None
|
|
|
|
=== New Structures
|
|
|
|
* slink:VkDisplayPresentInfoKHR
|
|
|
|
=== New Functions
|
|
|
|
* flink:vkCreateSharedSwapchainsKHR
|
|
|
|
=== Issues
|
|
|
|
1) Should swapchains sharing images each hold a reference to the images, or
|
|
should it be up to the application to destroy the swapchains and images in
|
|
an order that avoids the need for reference counting?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: Take a reference.
|
|
The lifetime of presentable images is already complex enough.
|
|
|
|
2) Should the pname:srcRect/pname:dstRect parameters be specified as part of
|
|
the present command, or at swapchain creation time?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: As part of the presentation command.
|
|
This allows moving and scaling the image on the screen without the need to
|
|
respecify the mode or create a new swapchain and presentable images.
|
|
|
|
3) Should pname:srcRect/pname:dstRect be specified as rects, or separate
|
|
offset/extent values?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: As rects.
|
|
Specifying them separately might make it easier for hardware to expose
|
|
support for one but not the other, but in such cases applications must just
|
|
take care to obey the reported capabilities and not use non-zero offsets or
|
|
extents that require scaling, as appropriate.
|
|
|
|
4) How can applications create multiple swapchains that use the same images?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: By calling flink:vkCreateSharedSwapchainsKHR.
|
|
|
|
An earlier resolution used flink:vkCreateSwapchainKHR, chaining multiple
|
|
slink:VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR structures through pname:pNext.
|
|
In order to allow each swapchain to also allow other extension structs, a
|
|
level of indirection was used: slink:VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR::pname:pNext
|
|
pointed to a different structure, which had both an pname:sType/pname:pNext
|
|
for additional extensions, and also had a pointer to the next
|
|
slink:VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR structure.
|
|
The number of swapchains to be created could only be found by walking this
|
|
linked list of alternating structures, and the pname:pSwapchains out
|
|
parameter was reinterpreted to be an array of slink:VkSwapchainKHR handles.
|
|
|
|
Another option considered was a method to specify a "`shared`" swapchain
|
|
when creating a new swapchain, such that groups of swapchains using the same
|
|
images could be built up one at a time.
|
|
This was deemed unusable because drivers need to know all of the displays an
|
|
image will be used on when determining which internal formats and layouts to
|
|
use for that image.

=== Examples
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
.Note
|
|
====
|
|
The example code for the `<<VK_KHR_display>>` and `VK_KHR_display_swapchain`
|
|
extensions was removed from the appendix after revision 1.0.43.
|
|
The display swapchain creation example code was ported to the cube demo that
|
|
is shipped with the official Khronos SDK, and is being kept up-to-date in
|
|
that location (see:
|
|
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Tools/blob/master/cube/cube.c).

|
|
VK_MAKE_VERSION macro in the header file.
|

|
|
- Restore single-field revision number.
|
|
|
|
* Revision 4, 2015-09-08 (James Jones)
|
|
- Allow creating multiple swap chains that share the same images using a
|
|
single call to vkCreateSwapChainKHR().
|
|
|
|
* Revision 5, 2015-09-10 (Alon Or-bach)
|
|
- Removed underscores from SWAP_CHAIN in two enums.
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
vkCreateSharedSwapchainsKHR, changing resolution of issue #4.
|
|
|
|

proposed resolutions for some time now.
|
|
- Removed the sample code and noted it has been integrated into the
|
|
official Vulkan SDK cube demo.
