* Bump API patch number and header version number to 61 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Provide alternate length attributes (altlen=) in the XML schema, for
those using length attributes to generate code instead of documentation
(public issue 555).
* Fix erroneous references to `latex:` being used for asciidoc math
markup, rather than `latexmath:` (public pull request 556).
* Add author ID to XML for Kazan software renderer (public pull request
557).
Internal Issues:
* Add the <<fundamentals-abi,Application Binary Interface>> section
describing platform ABI requirements and recommendations, add examples
of function and function pointer declarations to the
<<boilerplate-platform-specific-calling-conventions, Platform-Specific
Calling Conventions>> section, and remove related language that existed
elsewhere in the specification (internal issue 64).
* Describe where to document valid usage interactions of chained
structures in the style guide, and fix one case now appearing in
slink:VkBufferCreateInfo instead of the child
slink:VkDedicatedAllocationBufferCreateInfoNV structure (internal issue
715).
* Add example to the style guide of describing enumerated types which are
empty when the spec is built without relevant extensions enabled, and
apply it to existing examples for
elink:VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateFlagBits and
elink:VkSubpassDescriptionFlagBits (internal issue 864).
* Add a note to the <<fundamentals-validusage-enums, Valid Usage for
Enumerated Types>> section that the special values suffixed with
etext:_BEGIN_RANGE, etext:_END_RANGE, etext:_RANGE_SIZE and
etext:_MAX_ENUM are not part of the API and should: not be used by
applications (internal issue 872).
* Added note to flink:vkCmdUpdateBuffers explaining the performance
penalty for copies done in this way, and why the upper copy limit is
what it is (internal issue 952).
* Update `VK_KHX_device_group` to split some functionality into the new
`VK_KHR_bind_memory2` extension, and rename that functionality (internal
issue 969).
* Remove *Status* fields from extension appendices, since they are by
definition published and complete by the time they reach the public
github repository (internal issue 973).
Other Issues:
* Update Data Format specification dependency to version 1.2 and change
references to DF sections accordingly.
* Update XML to make the pname:pAllocator parameter of
flink:vkRegisterDeviceEventEXT and flink:vkRegisterDisplayEventEXT in
the `VK_EXT_display_control` extension as optional.
New Extensions:
* `VK_KHR_bind_memory2`
* `VK_KHR_image_format_list`
* `VK_KHR_maintenance2`
* `VK_KHR_sampler_ycbcr_conversion`

This extension provides an API to create a swapchain directly on a device's
|
|
display without any underlying window system.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
None
|
|

|
|
** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DISPLAY_PRESENT_INFO_KHR
|
|
* Extending elink:VkResult:
|
|
** ename:VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DISPLAY_KHR
|

=== 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 srcRect/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 srcRect/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 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-LoaderAndValidationLayers/blob/master/demos/cube.c).

|
|
- 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().
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Removed underscores from SWAP_CHAIN in two enums.
|
|

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

|
|
official Vulkan SDK cube demo.
