Jon Leech 82e0f83d43 Change log for February 10, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.40 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 40 for this update.
  * There is a major build change in this release. We are now using the
    Ruby-based ``asciidoctor'' implementation, rather than the Python-based
    ``asciidoc'' implementation, to process the specification. While the
    actual specification markup changes were minimal, this requires a new
    set of build tools and a very different installation process, especially
    because we now use an experimental direct-to-PDF backend for Asciidoctor
    instead of Docbook->dblatex->PDF. It is no longer possible to build the
    Specification using asciidoc. See doc/specs/vulkan/README.adoc
    for some guidance on installing the new toolchain components.
  * There are some minor rendering issues in the PDF output due to teething
    problems with the asciidoctor toolchain, especially with mathematical
    equations. We are aware of these and working on them.

Github Issues:

  * Updated sample code for the <<sparsememory-examples-basic,sparse
    resource binding example>> (public issue 97).
  * Modify line and point clipping behavior in the
    <<vertexpostproc-clipping, Primitive Clipping>> section to allow for
    pop-free behavior. The ability to check for which behavior is
    implemented may be added a future feature or extension (public issue
    113).
  * Unify the discussions of implicit ordering throughout the spec, in
    particular in the new sections <<drawing-primitive-order, Primitive
    Order>>, <<primrast-order, Rasterization Order>>, and
    <<synchronization-implicit, Implicit Synchronization Guarantees>>; the
    discussion of <<synchronization-submission-order, submission order>>;
    and references elsewhere to these sections (public issue 133).
  * Clarify \<\<descriptorsets-compatibility,Pipeline Layout Compatibility>>
    language and introduce the term ``identically defined'' (public issue
    164).
  * Add a dependency to the +VK_EXT_debug_marker+ extension that's needed to
    reuse the object type enum from +VK_EXT_debug_report+, and moves the
    definition of that enum into +VK_EXT_debug_report+ where it should be
    (public issue 409).
  * Remove redundant valid usage statement from slink:VkImageBlit (public
    issue 421).
  * Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl to allow the ternary operator to result in a
    specialization constant (public issue 424).
  * Fix valid usage for flink:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo (public issue
    426).
  * Correct typo in New Objects list for <<VK_EXT_debug_report>> (public
    issue 447).

Internal Issues:

  * Moved to asciidoctor for spec builds (internal issue 121).
  * Update style guide to describe where to put new extensions-specific
    asciidoc files, and what to name them (internal issue 626).
  * Add src/spec/indexExt.py to autogenerate registry index entries linking
    into the 1.0-extensions specification, instead of maintaining the index
    manually. (internal issue 642).
  * Autogenerate extension dependencies and lists of all extensions and all
    KHR extensions from the "supported" attributes in +vk.xml+. Execute
    +make config/extDependency.sh+ from +doc/specs/vulkan+ when a supported
    extension is added to vk.xml, to regenerate the dependency script. The
    consequence is that specifying a single extension to the +makeExt+
    script will automatically enable all extensions it depends on as well,
    and that the +makeAllExts+ and +makeKHR+ scripts do not need to be
    updated when a new extension is supported (internal issue 648).
  * Put extension appendices all at the same asciidoc section level, so KHR
    WSI extensions show up in the HTML index (internal issue 648).

Other Issues:

  * Imbed images in the generated HTML specs instead of loading them from
    the images/ directory.
  * Fix missing EXT in extension name
    (ename:VK_EXT_SWAPCHAIN_COLOR_SPACE_EXTENSION_NAME).
  * Add new +VK_EXT_SMPTE_2086_metadata+ extension.
  * In the <<platformCreateSurface_xlib,Xlib Surface>> section of the
    +VK_KHR_xlib_surface+ specification, add language warning users that
    they always need to call code:XinitThreads.
  * Use the term "presentable image" (rather than "swapchain image")
    consistently in +VK_KHR_swapchain+ and related extensions, and add a
    glossary term defining it.
  * Relocate the valid usage for samples of
    flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatProperties2KHR::pname:pFormatInfo
    to be below the flink:VkPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatInfo2KHR
    structure.

=== 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?
*PROPOSED RESOLUTION*: 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?
*PROPOSED RESOLUTION*: 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 presentable images.
3) Should srcRect/dstRect be specified as rects, or separate offset/extent
values?
*PROPOSED RESOLUTION*: 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?
RESOLUTION: 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
**Example 1**
Create a swapchain on a display mode and plane
[source,c++]
----------------------------------------
// See VK_KHR_display for an example of how to pick a display,
// display mode, plane, and how to create a VkSurfaceKHR for
// that plane.
extern VkPhysicalDevice physDevice;
extern VkDisplayModePropertiesKHR myModeProps;
extern VkSurfaceKHR mySurface;
extern VkDevice device;
uint32_t queueCount, i;
uint32_t presentQueueFamilyIndex = UINT32_MAX;
VkBool32 supportsPresent;
// Find a queue family that supports presenting to this surface
uint32_t familyCount;
vkGetPhysicalDeviceQueueFamilyProperties(physDevice, &familyCount, NULL);
for (i = 0; i < familyCount; ++i)
{
vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceSupportKHR(physDevice, i, mySurface, &supportsPresent);
if (supportsPresent) {
// Found a queue family that supports present. See
// VK_KHR_surface for an example of how to find a queue that
// supports both presentation and graphics
presentQueueFamilyIndex = i;
break;
}
}
// Figure out which formats and present modes this surface supports.
uint32_t formatCount;
vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceFormatsKHR(physDevice, mySurface, &formatCount, NULL);
VkSurfaceFormatKHR* formats = (VkSurfaceFormatKHR*)malloc(sizeof(VkSurfaceFormatKHR) * formatCount);
vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceFormatsKHR(physDevice, mySurface, &formatCount, formats);
const VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR createInfo =
{
VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_INFO_KHR, // sType
NULL, // pNext
0, // flags
mySurface, // surface
3, // minImageCount
formats[0].format, // imageFormat
formats[0].colorSpace, // imageColorSpace
myModeProps.parameters.visibleRegion, // imageExtent
1, // imageArrayLayers
VK_IMAGE_USAGE_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_BIT, // imageUsage
VK_SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE, // imageSharingMode
0, // queueFamilyIndexCount
NULL, // pQueueFamilyIndices
VK_SURFACE_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY_BIT_KHR, // preTransform
VK_COMPOSITE_ALPHA_OPAQUE_BIT_KHR, // compositeAlpha
VK_PRESENT_MODE_FIFO_KHR, // presentMode
VK_TRUE, // clipped
VK_NULL_HANDLE // oldSwapchain
};
VkSwapchainKHR swapchain;
// This is equivalent to vkCreateSwapchainKHR.
vkCreateSharedSwapchainsKHR(device, 1, &createInfo, NULL, &swapchain);
