* Update release number to 92.
Public Issues:
* Move and modify valid usage statements dealing with pname:aspectMask in
flink:vkCmdClearColorImage, flink:vkCmdClearDepthStencilImage, and
slink:VkClearAttachment, so they are in places where all necessary
information is available (public issue 529).
* Fix math markup in <<textures-texel-anisotropic-filtering, Texel
Anisotropic Filtering>> (public pull request 840).
* Fix misspellings (public pull request 845).
Internal Issues:
* Add installation instructions and a Makefile "`chunked`" target for
chunked HTML generation (internal issue 1352).
* Fix pipeline mesh diagram style; also fix a minor bug in the classic
pipeline diagram where vertex/index buffers wrongly fed into the vertex
shader (internal issue 1436).
* Make asciidoctor ERROR output raise an error, and don't suppress
executed command output from CI make invocation (internal issue 1454).
* Minor typo fixes and clarifications for `VK_NV_raytracing`.
* Cleanup extension-specific properties
** Remove duplicated documentation for pname:maxDiscardRectangles,
pname:pointClippingBehavior, and pname:maxVertexAttribDivisor (they
shouldn't be documented with the other members of
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits at all).
** Remove duplicate anchor for pname:maxVertexAttribDivisor
** Consistently document stext:VkPhysicalDevice<Extension>PropertiesKHR
*** Always document pname:sType/pname:pNext (was inconsistent before)
*** Always mention chaining to slink:VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 (and not
as slink:VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2KHR)
*** Always include Valid Usage statements last
* Update Makefile 'checklinks' target and associated scripts, and fix
markup problems identified by checkLinks.py, so that we can rely on the
checklinks script as part of Gitlab CI.

This extension allows instance-rate vertex attributes to be repeated for
|
|
certain number of instances instead of advancing for every instance when
|
|
instanced rendering is enabled.

=== Issues
|
|
|
|
1) What is the effect of a non-zero value for pname:firstInstance?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: The Vulkan API should follow the OpenGL convention and offset
|
|
attribute fetching by pname:firstInstance while computing vertex attribute
|
|
offsets.
|
|
|
|
2) Should zero be an allowed divisor?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: Yes.
|
|
A zero divisor means the vertex attribute is repeated for all instances.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Examples
|
|
|
|
To create a vertex binding such that the first binding uses instanced
|
|
rendering and the same attribute is used for every 4 draw instances, an
|
|
application could use the following set of structures:
|
|
|
|
|
|
[source,c++]
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
const VkVertexInputBindingDivisorDescriptionEXT divisorDesc =
|
|
{
|
|
0,
|
|
4
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
const VkPipelineVertexInputDivisorStateCreateInfoEXT divisorInfo =
|
|
{
|
|
VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_VERTEX_INPUT_DIVISOR_STATE_CREATE_INFO_EXT, // sType
|
|
NULL, // pNext
|
|
1, // vertexBindingDivisorCount
|
|
&divisorDesc // pVertexBindingDivisors
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
const VkVertexInputBindingDescription binding =
|
|
{
|
|
0, // binding
|
|
sizeof(Vertex), // stride
|
|
VK_VERTEX_INPUT_RATE_INSTANCE // inputRate
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
const VkPipelineVertexInputStateCreateInfo viInfo =
|
|
{
|
|
VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_VERTEX_INPUT_CREATE_INFO, // sType
|
|
&divisorInfo, // pNext
|
|
...
|
|
};
|

//...
