Jon Leech 911a764694 Change log for October 7, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.87 spec update:
* Update release number to 87.

Public Issues:

  * Merge flink:vkCmdPipelineBarrier self-dependency barrier VUs referring
    to the same subpass dependency (public pull request 756).
  * Describe default value of `"optional"` attribute in the registry schema
    document (public issue 769)
  * Fix links in <<VK_NVX_raytracing>> extension (public pull request 805).
  * Mark the <<VK_KHR_mir_surface>> extension obsolete (see public issue 814
    - does not close this, however).
  * Fix missing endif in Image Creation block (public issue 817).

Internal Issues:

  * Clarify that the compressed texture formats corresponding to
    <<features-features-textureCompressionETC2>>,
    <<features-features-textureCompressionASTC_LDR>>, and
    <<features-features-textureCompressionBC>> is not contingent on the
    feature bits, and may be supported even if the features are not enabled
    (internal issue 663).
  * Clarify that code:FragStencilRefEXT is output only in the
    <<interfaces-builtin-variables, Built-In Variables>> section (internal
    issue 1173).
  * Identify and correct many overly-aggressive uses of "`undefined`", and
    narrow them down, where straightforward to do so. Mark such resolved
    uses of "`undefined`" with the custom undefined: macro. Add a new
    <<writing-undefined, Describing Undefined Behavior>> section (internal
    issue 1267).
  * Don't require code:inline_uniform_block descriptors to be populated
    before use in the flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets section (internal issue
    1380).
  * Allow suppressing inline SVG images by controlling this with an
    attribute set in the Makefile, rather than the explicit [%inline]
    directive (internal issue 1391).
  * Mark 'Khronos' as a registered trademark in several places, now that it
    is one.
  * Fix typo in the <<VK_KHR_shader_atomic_int64>> appendix using the GLSL
    naming of the compare exchange op when referring to the SPIR-V op.
  * Specify in the flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceQueueFamilyProperties section
    that all implementations must support at least one queue family, and
    that every queue family must contain at least one queue.
  * Make slink:VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo::pname:dynamicStateCount,
    slink:VkSampleLocationsInfoEXT::pname:sampleLocationsPerPixel, and
    slink:VkSampleLocationsInfoEXT::pname:sampleLocationsCount optional, to
    fix bogus implicit valid usage checks that were causing failures in the
    conformance tests.
  * Fix vendor tag in reserved extension 237 constants. Does not affect
    anything since it's just a placeholder, but this should avoid further
    comments.
  * Minor markup fixes in some extension appendices.

New Extensions:

  * `<<VK_FUCHSIA_imagepipe_surface>>`

=== Wayland Platform
[open,refpage='vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR',desc='Create a slink:VkSurfaceKHR object for a Wayland window',type='protos']
--
To create a sname:VkSurfaceKHR object for a Wayland surface, call:
include::../../api/protos/vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR.txt[]
* pname:instance is the instance to associate the surface with.
* pname:pCreateInfo is a pointer to an instance of the
slink:VkWaylandSurfaceCreateInfoKHR 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/vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR.txt[]
--
[open,refpage='VkWaylandSurfaceCreateInfoKHR',desc='Structure specifying parameters of a newly created Wayland surface object',type='structs']
--
The sname:VkWaylandSurfaceCreateInfoKHR structure is defined as:
include::../../api/structs/VkWaylandSurfaceCreateInfoKHR.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:display and pname:surface are pointers to the Wayland
code:wl_display and code:wl_surface to associate the surface with.
.Valid Usage
****
* [[VUID-VkWaylandSurfaceCreateInfoKHR-display-01304]]
pname:display must: point to a valid Wayland code:wl_display.
* [[VUID-VkWaylandSurfaceCreateInfoKHR-surface-01305]]
pname:surface must: point to a valid Wayland code:wl_surface.
****

On Wayland, pname:currentExtent is the special value [eq]#(0xFFFFFFFF,
0xFFFFFFFF)#, indicating that the surface size will be determined by the
extent of a swapchain targeting the surface.
Whatever the application sets a swapchain's pname:imageExtent to will be the
size of the window, after the first image is presented.
pname:minImageExtent is [eq]#(1,1)#, and pname:maxImageExtent is the maximum
supported surface size.
Any calls to flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfacePresentModesKHR on a surface
created with fname:vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR are required: to return
ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_MAILBOX_KHR as one of the valid present modes.
Some Vulkan functions may: send protocol over the specified code:wl_display
connection when using a swapchain or presentable images created from a
sname:VkSurfaceKHR referring to a code:wl_surface.
Applications must: therefore ensure that both the code:wl_display and the
code:wl_surface remain valid for the lifetime of any sname:VkSwapchainKHR
objects created from a particular code:wl_display and code:wl_surface.
Also, calling flink:vkQueuePresentKHR will result in Vulkan sending
code:wl_surface.commit requests to the underlying code:wl_surface of each
sname:VkSwapchainKHR objects referenced by pname:pPresentInfo.
If the swapchain is created with a present mode of
ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_MAILBOX_KHR or ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_IMMEDIATE_KHR,
then the corresponding code:wl_surface.attach, code:wl_surface.damage, and
code:wl_surface.commit request must: be issued by the implementation during
the call to flink:vkQueuePresentKHR and must: not be issued by the
implementation outside of flink:vkQueuePresentKHR.
This ensures that any Wayland requests sent by the client after the call to
flink:vkQueuePresentKHR returns will be received by the compositor after the
code:wl_surface.commit.
Regardless of the mode of swapchain creation, a new code:wl_event_queue
must: be created for each successful flink:vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR call,
and every Wayland object created by the implementation must: be assigned to
this event queue.
If the platform provides Wayland 1.11 or greater, this must: be implemented
by the use of Wayland proxy object wrappers, to avoid race conditions.
If the application wishes to synchronize any window changes with a
particular frame, such requests must: be sent to the Wayland display server
prior to calling flink:vkQueuePresentKHR.
For full control over interactions between Vulkan rendering and other
Wayland protocol requests and events, a present mode of
ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_MAILBOX_KHR should: be used.
