* Bump API patch number and header version number to 60 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Document that <<queries-timestamps, Timestamp Queries>> can only be
meaningfully compared when they are written from the same queue (public
issue 216).
* Document that the `<extension>` tag `type` attribute is required for
non-disabled extensions (derived from, but does not close public issue
354).
* Clean up registry schema length attribute descriptions to be consistent
and correct (public issue 555).
Internal Issues:
* Replace as much of the hand-written extension appendix metadata as
possible with asciidoc includes generated from corresponding attributes
of +vk.xml+, and enhance the style guide to match. This avoids
inconsistencies between +vk.xml+ and the appendices, and produces a more
uniform style (internal issue 137).
* Remove the generated extDependency.{py,sh} files from the tree and
create them dynamically on demand instead, reducing merge conflicts
(internal issue 713).
* Add a prototype tool for generating in-place difference markup for
sections guarded by asciidoc conditionals, and new syntax for open
blocks to support it (internal issue 833).
* Remove unnecessary restriction of etext:*SYNC_FD_BIT_KHR external handle
types to the same physical device in the
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceIDPropertiesKHR,
flink:VkImportMemoryWin32HandleInfoKHR,
slink:VkImportFenceWin32HandleInfoKHR, slink:VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR,
slink:VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR,
slink:VkImportSemaphoreFdInfoKHR
<<external-memory-handle-types-compatibility, External memory handle
types compatibility>>, <<external-semaphore-handle-types-compatibility,
External semaphore handle types compatibility>>, and
<<external-fence-handle-types-compatibility, External fence handle types
compatibility>> sections (internal issue 956).
Other Issues:
* Remove dependency of +VK_KHX_device_group+ on +VK_KHR_swapchain+ (there
is an interaction, but not a strict dependency), and add a new
`extension` attribute to the `<require` XML tag to allow classifying a
subset of interfaces of an extension as requiring another extension.
Update the registry schema and documentation accordingly.
New Extensions:
* `VK_AMD_shader_fragment_mask` (and related `GL_AMD_shader_fragment_mask`
GLSL extension)
* `VK_EXT_sample_locations`
* `VK_EXT_validation_cache`

This extension extends +VK_KHR_swapchain+ to enable creation of a shared
|
|
presentable image.
|
|
This allows the application to use the image while the presention engine is
|
|
accessing it, in order to reduce the latency between rendering and
|
|
presentation.
|
|
|
|
=== New Object Types
|
|
|
|
None.
|
|
|
|
=== New Enum Constants
|
|
|
|
* Extending elink:VkPresentModeKHR:
|

** ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_SHARED_DEMAND_REFRESH_KHR
|
|
** ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_SHARED_CONTINUOUS_REFRESH_KHR
|
|
|
|

=== Issues
|
|
|
|
1) Should we allow a Vulkan WSI swapchain to toggle between normal usage and
|
|
shared presentation usage?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: No.
|
|
WSI swapchains are typically recreated with new properties instead of having
|
|
their properties changed.
|
|
This can also save resources, assuming that fewer images are needed for
|
|
shared presentation, and assuming that most VR applications do not need to
|
|
switch between normal and shared usage.
|
|
|
|
2) Should we have a query for determining how the presentation engine
|
|
refresh is triggered?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: Yes.
|
|
This is done via which presentation modes a surface supports.
|
|
|
|
3) Should the object representing a shared presentable image be an extension
|
|
of a VkSwapchainKHR or a separate object?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: Extension of a swapchain due to overlap in creation properties
|
|
and to allow common functionality between shared and normal presentable
|
|
images and swapchains.
|
|
|
|
4) What should we call the extension and the new structures it creates?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: Shared presentable image / shared present.
|
|
|
|
5) Should the minImageCount and presentMode values of the
|
|
VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR be ignored, or required to be compatible values?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: minImageCount must be set to 1, and presentMode should be set to
|
|
either VK_PRESENT_MODE_SHARED_DEMAND_REFRESH_KHR or
|
|
VK_PRESENT_MODE_SHARED_CONTINUOUS_REFRESH_KHR.
|
|
|
|
6) What should the layout of the shared presentable image be?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: After acquiring the shared presentable image, the application
|
|
must transition it to the VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_SHARED_PRESENT_KHR layout prior to
|
|
it being used.
|
|
After this intial transition, any image usage that was requested during
|
|
swapchain creation can: be performed on the image without layout transitions
|
|
being performed.
|
|
|
|
7) Do we need a new API for the trigger to refresh new content?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: vkQueuePresentKHR to act as API to trigger a refresh, as will
|
|
allow combination with other compatible extensions to vkQueuePresentKHR.
|
|
|
|
8) How should an application detect a VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR error on a
|
|
swapchain using the VK_PRESENT_MODE_SHARED_CONTINUOUS_REFRESH_KHR present
|
|
mode?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: Introduce vkGetSwapchainStatusKHR to allow applications to query
|
|
the status of a swapchain using a shared presentation mode.
|
|
|
|
9) What should subsequent calls to vkQueuePresentKHR for CONTINUOUS_REFRESH
|
|
swapchains be defined to do?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: State that implementations may use it as a hint for updated
|
|
content.
|
|
|
|
10) Can the ownership of a shared presentable image be transferred to a
|
|
different queue?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: No.
|
|
It is not possible to transfer ownership of a shared presentable image
|
|
obtained from a swapchain created using VK_SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE after it
|
|
has been presented.
|
|
|
|
11) How should vkQueueSubmit behave if a command buffer uses an image from
|
|
an OUT_OF_DATE swapchain?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: vkQueueSubmit is expected to return the VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST
|
|
error.
|
|
|
|
12) Can Vulkan provide any guarantee on the order of rendering, to enable
|
|
beam chasing?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: This could be achieved via use of render passes to ensure strip
|
|
rendering.
