This Specification is protected by copyright laws and contains material

|
displayed, broadcast or otherwise exploited in any manner without the
|
|
express prior written permission of Khronos.
|
|
Khronos grants a conditional copyright license to use and reproduce the
|
|
unmodified Specification for any purpose, without fee or royalty, EXCEPT no
|
|
licenses to any patent, trademark or other intellectual property rights are
|
|
granted under these terms.
|
|
|
|
Khronos makes no, and expressly disclaims any, representations or
|
|
warranties, express or implied, regarding this Specification, including,
|
|
without limitation: merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
|
|
non-infringement of any intellectual property, correctness, accuracy,
|
|

|
|
Under no circumstances will Khronos, or any of its Promoters, Contributors
|
|

|
|
|
|
This Specification has been created under the Khronos Intellectual Property
|
|
Rights Policy, which is Attachment A of the Khronos Group Membership
|
|
Agreement available at www.khronos.org/files/member_agreement.pdf, and which
|
|
defines the terms 'Scope', 'Compliant Portion', and 'Necessary Patent Claims'.
|
|
Parties desiring to implement the Specification and make use of Khronos trademarks
|
|
in relation to that implementation, and receive reciprocal patent license protection
|
|
under the Khronos Intellectual Property Rights Policy must become Adopters and
|
|
confirm the implementation as conformant under the process defined by Khronos for
|
|
this Specification; see https://www.khronos.org/adopters.
|
|
|
|
This Specification contains substantially unmodified functionality from, and is a
|
|
successor to, Khronos specifications including OpenGL, OpenGL ES and OpenCL.
|
|
|
|
Some parts of this Specification are purely informative and so are EXCLUDED from
|
|
the Scope of this Specification. The <<introduction-conventions>> section of the
|
|
<<introduction>> defines how these parts of the Specification are identified.
|
|
|
|
Where this Specification uses <<introduction-technical-terminology,technical
|
|
terminology>>, defined in the <<glossary>> or otherwise, that refer to
|
|
enabling technologies that are not expressly set forth in this
|
|
Specification, those enabling technologies are EXCLUDED from the Scope of
|
|
this Specification.
|
|
For clarity, enabling technologies not disclosed with particularity in this
|
|
Specification (e.g. semiconductor manufacturing technology, hardware
|
|
architecture, processor architecture or microarchitecture, memory
|
|
architecture, compiler technology, object oriented technology, basic
|
|
operating system technology, compression technology, algorithms, and so on)
|
|
are NOT to be considered expressly set forth; only those application program
|
|
interfaces and data structures disclosed with particularity are included in
|
|
the Scope of this Specification.
|
|
|
|
For purposes of the Khronos Intellectual Property Rights Policy as it relates
|
|
to the definition of Necessary Patent Claims, all recommended or optional
|
|
features, behaviors and functionality set forth in this Specification, if
|
|
implemented, are considered to be included as Compliant Portions.
|
|
|
|
Where this Specification includes <<introduction-normative-references,
|
|
normative references to external documents>>, only the specifically
|
|
identified sections of those external documents are INCLUDED in the Scope of
|
|
this Specification. If not created by Khronos, those external documents may
|
|
contain contributions from non-members of Khronos not covered by the Khronos
|
|
Intellectual Property Rights Policy.
|
|
|
|
ifndef::ratified_core_spec[]
|
|
This document contains extensions which are not ratified by Khronos, and as
|
|
such is not a ratified Specification, though it contains text from (and is a
|
|
superset of) the ratified Vulkan Specification. The ratified versions of the
|
|
Vulkan Specification can be found at
|

https://www.khronos.org/registry/vulkan/specs/1.1/html/vkspec.html (core
