Jon Leech 933a3a3c4a Change log for June 18, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.78 spec update:
* Update release number to 78.

Public Issues:

  * Change markup so parameter descriptions include links to structures,
    instead of just their names (public issue 697).
  * Resume publishing updated Vulkan 1.0 + KHR extensions and Vulkan 1.0 +
    all extensions versions of the specification (public issue 722).
  * Reapply fixes from public pull request 698 for
    `VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer`, which accidentally
    were reverted at some point (public pull request 724).
  * Fix undefined format valid usage statements for slink:VkImageCreateInfo
    in the presence of the
    `VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer` extension (public
    pull request 725).
  * Miscellaneous markup consistency fixes (public pull request 728).

Internal Issues:

  * When building specifications containing vendor extensions, add terms to
    the Khronos spec copyright specifying that the result is not a ratified
    specification (internal issue 739).
  * Change the value of the
    pname:maxDescriptorSetUpdateAfterBindUniformBuffers minimum limit to 72
    (6 times pname:maxPerStageDescriptorUpdateAfterBindUniformBuffers) in
    the <<features-limits-required, Required Limits>> table (internal issue
    1300).

Other Issues:

  * Fix link to resource image view compatibility table in the valid usage
    statements for slink:VkImageFormatListCreateInfoKHR (internal pull
    request 2711).

=== XCB Platform
[open,refpage='vkCreateXcbSurfaceKHR',desc='Create a slink:VkSurfaceKHR object for a X11 window, using the XCB client-side library',type='protos']
--
To create a sname:VkSurfaceKHR object for an X11 window, using the XCB
client-side library, call:
include::../../api/protos/vkCreateXcbSurfaceKHR.txt[]
* pname:instance is the instance to associate the surface with.
* pname:pCreateInfo is a pointer to an instance of the
sname:VkXcbSurfaceCreateInfoKHR structure containing parameters
affecting the creation of the surface object.
* pname:pAllocator is the allocator used for host memory allocated for the
surface object when there is no more specific allocator available (see
<<memory-allocation,Memory Allocation>>).
* pname:pSurface points to a slink:VkSurfaceKHR handle in which the
created surface object is returned.
include::../../validity/protos/vkCreateXcbSurfaceKHR.txt[]
--
[open,refpage='VkXcbSurfaceCreateInfoKHR',desc='Structure specifying parameters of a newly created Xcb surface object',type='structs']
--
The sname:VkXcbSurfaceCreateInfoKHR structure is defined as:
include::../../api/structs/VkXcbSurfaceCreateInfoKHR.txt[]
* pname:sType is the type of this structure.
* pname:pNext is `NULL` or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
* pname:flags is reserved for future use.
* pname:connection is a pointer to an code:xcb_connection_t to the X
server.
* pname:window is the code:xcb_window_t for the X11 window to associate
the surface with.
.Valid Usage
****
* [[VUID-VkXcbSurfaceCreateInfoKHR-connection-01310]]
pname:connection must: point to a valid X11 code:xcb_connection_t.
* [[VUID-VkXcbSurfaceCreateInfoKHR-window-01311]]
pname:window must: be a valid X11 code:xcb_window_t.
****
include::../../validity/structs/VkXcbSurfaceCreateInfoKHR.txt[]
--
With Xcb, pname:minImageExtent, pname:maxImageExtent, and
pname:currentExtent must: always equal the window size.
The pname:currentExtent of an Xcb surface must: have both pname:width and
pname:height greater than 0, or both of them 0.
[NOTE]
.Note
====
Due to above restrictions, it is only possible to create a new swapchain on
this platform with pname:imageExtent being equal to the current size of the
window.
The window size may: become [eq]#(0, 0)# on this platform (e.g. when the
window is minimized), and so a swapchain cannot: be created until the size
changes.
====
Some Vulkan functions may: send protocol over the specified xcb connection
when using a swapchain or presentable images created from a
slink:VkSurfaceKHR referring to an xcb window.
Applications must: therefore ensure the xcb connection is available to
Vulkan for the duration of any functions that manipulate such swapchains or
their presentable images, and any functions that build or queue command
buffers that operate on such presentable images.
Specifically, applications using Vulkan with xcb-based swapchains must:
* Avoid holding a server grab on an xcb connection while waiting for
Vulkan operations to complete using a swapchain derived from a different
xcb connection referring to the same X server instance.
Failing to do so may: result in deadlock.
