Jon Leech e958791a01 Change log for March 16, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.71 spec update:
* First public update for Vulkan 1.1.

Github Issues:

  * Refer to standard sparse image block shape format tables explicitly in
    the <<sparsememory-standard-shapes, Standard Sparse Image Block Shapes>>
    section (public issue 93).
  * Add the missing definition of the code:LocalInvocationIndex decoration
    in the <<interfaces-builtin-variables, Built-In Variables>> section
    (public issue 532).
  * Clarify dynamic state definition in the introduction to the <<pipelines,
    Pipelines>> section and the new <<pipelines-dynamic-state, Dynamic
    State>> subsection (public issue 620).
  * Clarified deprecation statement in the `VK_AMD_negative_viewport_height`
    appendix (public issue 674).
  * Fix parameter descriptions for flink:vkCreateIndirectCommandsLayoutNVX
    (public issue 677).

Internal Issues:

  * Remove description of <<primsrast-points, rasterization point size>>
    being taken from the tessellation control shader, since there are no
    circumstances under which you can have TCS without TES (internal issue
    522).
  * Define <<copies-images-format-size-compatibility, _size-compatible_
    image formats>> for flink:vkCmdCopyImage, add it to the glossary, and
    use that definition for slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo (internal issue
    771).
  * Change brief descriptions of enumerant names, and of parameters which
    are enumerants, from "`enum *indicates*`" to "`enum *specifies*`" for
    consistency, and add a markup style guide rule (internal issue 862).
  * Clarify how execution dependencies interact with
    <<synchronization-submission-order, submission order>> at numerous
    places in the <<renderpass, Render Pass>> and <<synchronization,
    Synchronization>> chapters (internal issue 1062).
  * Clarify statement in the <<interfaces-resources-setandbinding,
    DescriptorSet and Binding Assignment>> section that only interface
    variables statically used by the entry point used in a pipeline must be
    present in the descriptor set layout (internal issue 1172).
  * Flip sparse image diagrams with partially full mip levels vertically, to
    match graph origins of other image diagrams (internal issue 1176).
  * Update new SVG diagrams to have consistent style and base font size,
    increase consistency of primitive topology diagrams, and add a section
    to the style guide on creating and editing images in a consistent style
    (internal issue 1177).
  * Resolve problems with valid usage statement extraction by fixing
    existing VUID tags for interfaces promoted to version 1.1 and fixing
    conditional directives around
    VUID-VkMemoryDedicatedAllocateInfo-image-01797 (internal issue 1184).
  * Strip `KHR` suffixes from a few interfaces promoted to Vulkan 1.1 that
    were missed previously (internal issue 1185).
  * Restrict code:OpImageQuerySizeLod and code:OpImageQueryLevels to only
    work on code:Image operands with their code:Sampled operand set to 1. In
    other words, these operations are not defined to work with storage
    images (internal issue 1193).
  * Recycle extension slot for extension #82 in `vk.xml`. This extension was
    never published (internal issue 1195).
  * Add an issue to the `VK_KHR_maintenance1` appendix noting that zero
    height viewports are allowed when this extension is enabled (internal
    issue 1202).
  * Fix slink:VkDescriptorSetLayoutBinding description so that shader stages
    always use descriptor bindings, not the other way around (internal issue
    1206).
  * Fix field name for
    slink:VkInputAttachmentAspectReference::pname:inputAttachmentIndex
    (internal issue 1210).

Other Issues:

  * Fix a few broken links in the <<versions-1.1, Version 1.1>> appendix.
  * Replace a few old refBegin/refEnd tags with open block markup around
    interfaces, and remove old KHX VUID tags that were breaking the valid
    usage statement extraction.
  * Fix error codes accidentally tagged as success codes in `vk.xml` for
    flink:vkGetSwapchainCounterEXT.
  * Added valid usage statements for ftext:vkBind*Memory2 input structures
    stext:VkBind*MemoryInfo, and fix a pname:image -> pname:buffer typo in a
    couple of places.
  * Fix swapped descriptions of elink:VkDescriptorType enums
    ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLED_IMAGE and
    ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_IMAGE (reported via tweet).

New Extensions:

  * `VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer`

`VK_KHR_maintenance2` adds a collection of minor features that were
intentionally left out or overlooked from the original Vulkan 1.0 release.
The new features are as follows:
* Allow the application to specify which aspect of an input attachment
might be read for a given subpass.
* Allow implementations to express the clipping behavior of points.
* Allow creating images with usage flags that may not be supported for the
base image's format, but are supported for image views of the image that
have a different but compatible format.
* Allow creating uncompressed image views of compressed images.
* Allow the application to select between an upper-left and lower-left
origin for the tessellation domain space.
* Adds two new image layouts for depth stencil images to allow either the
depth or stencil aspect to be read-only while the other aspect is
writable.
=== Input Attachment Specification
Input attachment specification allows an application to specify which aspect
of a multi-aspect image (e.g. a combined depth stencil format) will be
accessed via a code:subpassLoad operation.
On some implementations there may: be a performance penalty if the
implementation does not know (at flink:vkCreateRenderPass time) which
aspect(s) of multi-aspect images can: be be accessed as input attachments.
=== New Object Types
None.
=== New Enum Constants
* Extending elink:VkStructureType:
** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_RENDER_PASS_INPUT_ATTACHMENT_ASPECT_CREATE_INFO_KHR
** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_POINT_CLIPPING_PROPERTIES_KHR
** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMAGE_VIEW_USAGE_CREATE_INFO_KHR
** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_TESSELLATION_DOMAIN_ORIGIN_STATE_CREATE_INFO_KHR
* Extending elink:VkImageCreateFlagBits:
** ename:VK_IMAGE_CREATE_BLOCK_TEXEL_VIEW_COMPATIBLE_BIT_KHR
** ename:VK_IMAGE_CREATE_EXTENDED_USAGE_BIT_KHR
* Extending elink:VkImageLayout
** ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_DEPTH_READ_ONLY_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_OPTIMAL_KHR
** ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT_STENCIL_READ_ONLY_OPTIMAL_KHR
* ename:VK_POINT_CLIPPING_BEHAVIOR_ALL_CLIP_PLANES_KHR
* ename:VK_POINT_CLIPPING_BEHAVIOR_USER_CLIP_PLANES_ONLY_KHR
=== New Enums
* slink:VkPointClippingBehaviorKHR
* slink:VkTessellationDomainOriginKHR
=== New Structures
* slink:VkPhysicalDevicePointClippingPropertiesKHR
* slink:VkRenderPassInputAttachmentAspectCreateInfoKHR
* slink:VkInputAttachmentAspectReferenceKHR
* slink:VkImageViewUsageCreateInfoKHR
* slink:VkPipelineTessellationDomainOriginStateCreateInfoKHR
=== New Functions
None.
=== Promotion to Vulkan 1.1
All functionality in this extension is included in core Vulkan 1.1, with the
KHR suffix omitted.
The original type, enum and command names are still available as aliases of
the core functionality.
=== Input Attachment Specification Example
Consider the case where a render pass has two subpasses and two attachments.
Attachment 0 has the format ename:VK_FORMAT_D24_UNORM_S8_UINT, attachment 1
has some color format.
Subpass 0 writes to attachment 0, subpass 1 reads only the depth information
from attachment 0 (using inputAttachmentRead) and writes to attachment 1.
[source,c++]
----------------------------------------
VkInputAttachmentAspectReferenceKHR references[] = {
{
.subpass = 1,
.inputAttachmentIndex = 0,
.aspectMask = VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_DEPTH_BIT
}
};
VkRenderPassInputAttachmentAspectCreateInfoKHR specifyAspects = {
.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_RENDER_PASS_INPUT_ATTACHMENT_ASPECT_CREATE_INFO_KHR,
.pNext = NULL,
.aspectReferenceCount = 1,
.pAspectReferences = references
};
VkRenderPassCreateInfo createInfo = {
...
.pNext = &specifyAspects,
...
}
vkCreateRenderPass(...);
----------------------------------------
=== Issues
1) What is the default tessellation domain origin?
*RESOLVED*: Vulkan 1.0 originally inadvertently documented a lower-left
origin, but the conformance tests and all implementations implemented an
upper-left origin.
This extension adds a control to select between lower-left (for
compatibility with OpenGL) and upper-left, and we retroactively fix
unextended Vulkan to have a default of an upper-left origin.
