This extension adds support for the following SPIR-V extension in Vulkan:
|
|
|
|
* +SPV_KHR_shader_draw_parameters+
|
|
|
|
The extension provides access to three additional built-in shader variables
|
|
in Vulkan:
|
|
|
|
* code:BaseInstance, which contains the pname:firstInstance parameter
|
|
passed to draw commands,
|
|
* code:BaseVertex, which contains the pname:firstVertex/pname:vertexOffset
|
|
parameter passed to draw commands, and
|
|
* code:DrawIndex, which contains the index of the draw call currently
|
|
being processed from an indirect draw call.
|
|
|
|
When using GLSL source-based shader languages, the following variables from
|
|
+GL_ARB_shader_draw_parameters+ can map to these SPIR-V built-in
|
|
decorations:
|
|
|
|
* `in int gl_BaseInstanceARB;` -> code:BaseInstance,
|
|
* `in int gl_BaseVertexARB;` -> code:BaseVertex, and
|
|
* `in int gl_DrawIDARB;` -> code:DrawIndex.

=== Promotion to Vulkan 1.1
|
|
|
|
All functionality in this extension is included in core Vulkan 1.1, however
|
|
a <<features-features-shaderDrawParameters,feature bit was added>> to
|
|
distinguish whether it's actually available or not.
|
|
|
|
=== Issues
|
|
|
|
1) Is this the same functionality as +GL_ARB_shader_draw_parameters+?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: It's actually a superset as it also adds in support for arrayed
|
|
drawing commands.
|
|
|
|
In GL for +GL_ARB_shader_draw_parameters+, code:gl_BaseVertexARB holds the
|
|
integer value passed to the parameter to the command that resulted in the
|
|
current shader invocation.
|
|
In the case where the command has no code:baseVertex parameter, the value of
|
|
code:gl_BaseVertexARB is zero.
|
|
This means that code:gl_BaseVertexARB = code:baseVertex (for
|
|
code:glDrawElements commands with code:baseVertex) or 0.
|
|
In particular there are no code:glDrawArrays commands that take a
|
|
code:baseVertex parameter.
|
|
|
|
Now in Vulkan, we have code:BaseVertex = pname:vertexOffset (for indexed
|
|
drawing commands) or pname:firstVertex (for arrayed drawing commands), and
|
|
so Vulkan's version is really a superset of GL functionality.
