Jon Leech c5261decf6 Change log for September 15, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.123 spec update:
* Update release number to 123.

Github Issues:

  * Add missing aspect mask descriptions to elink:VkImageAspectFlagBits
    (public pull request 1029).
  * Modify validity generator script to not check validity of ignored values
    in same-parent valid usage statements (public pull request 1030).
  * Make slink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateCreateInfo::pname:descriptorSetLayout
    `noautovalidity` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 1031).
  * Fix footnote markup in the <<vkGetDeviceProcAddr behavior>> table
    (public pull request 1034).

Internal Issues:

  * Require that <<interfaces-builtin-variables-sgs, code:SubgroupSize>> be
    a power of two (internal issue 1499).
  * Clarify that shaderFloat64 and shaderInt64 enable all storage classes,
    while shaderFloat16, shaderInt8, and shaderInt16 only enable
    non-interface storage classes. in the <<features-shaderFloat64>>,
    <<features-shaderInt64>>, and <<features-shaderInt16>> descriptions and
    for slink:VkPhysicalDeviceShaderFloat16Int8FeaturesKHR (internal issue
    1582).
  * Fix broken asciidoctor conditional logic in the
    <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>>
    section, and add style guide language to help avoid this problem in the
    future (internal issue 1808).
  * Modify VUID assignment script to use the first API include in a block as
    part of the VUID name rather than the last one, so the VUID is based on
    the promoted API name (internal issue 1809).
  * Cleanup string descriptions to consistently refer to "`null-terminated
    UTF-8`" strings (internal issue 1813).
  * Clarify the purpose of the
    slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::ptext:maxDescriptorSet* limits (internal
    merge request 3357).
  * Fix the slink:VkPhysicalDeviceRayTracingPropertiesNV limits for
    pname:maxGeometryCount, pname:maxInstanceCount, and
    pname:maxTriangleCount in the <<limits-required, Required Limits>>
    section (internal issue 3372).
  * Update SPIR-V image op sign-matching rules in the
    <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>>
    section, the <<formats-numericformat>> table, and the
    <<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> section
    (internal spirv/SPIR-V issue 332).

New Extensions

  * `<<VK_KHR_shader_subgroup_extended_types>>`
  * `<<VK_GOOGLE_user_type>>`

= Vulkan^(R)^ Specification Repository Scripts

This directory contains scripts used in building the Vulkan API
specification and related artifacts. For the most part, these scripts are
invoked from the top-level directory or from the API Registry in
../xml to build generated components of the specification.

Scripts in this directory include:

  * genvk.py - Python script to generate Vulkan headers and some other
    targets, using the generators described below.
  * reg.py - Python tools to read a registry XML file and call into
    generators to create headers and other types of output.
  * conventions.py, vkconventions.py - API-specific parameters and
    formatting / style conventions used by generators.
  * generator.py - output generator base class.
  ** cgenerator.py - C header output generator.
  ** docgenerator.py - Asciidoc interface language include generator.
  ** extensionmetadocgenerator.py - Generator for Asciidoc extension
     descriptions in spec appendices.
  ** hostsyncgenerator.py - Asciidoc host sync table generator.
  ** pygenerator.py - Generates python encoding of the API description.
  ** validitygenerator.py - Asciidoc validity language generator.

  * checkXrefs - shell script to look for broken internal links in a
    generated HTML specification.
  * check_spec_links.py - validates a variety of markup and content in the
    Asciidoctor specification source.
  * make_ext_dependency.py - generate extension dependencies in Bash and
    Python form for use when building the specification.
  * genRelease, genspec.py - build HTML and PDF Specifications with a
    variety of options to control target directories, extensions included
    while building, etc.
  * genRef.py, reflib.py - extract API reference pages from specification
    source into single-page source documents.
  * indexExt.py - generate HTML index of all extensions for inclusion into
    the Vulkan registry index page.
  * reflow.py, reflow_count.py - reflow specification source text to follow
    style guidelines, and insert Valid Usage statements where they're
    needed.
  * test_check_spec_links.py, test_check_spec_links_api_specific.py,
    test_entity_db.py - these are from another Khronos WG repository and are
    unused by Vulkan at present.
  * htmldiff/htmldiff - HTML diff script (see below).

  * Retired/ - contains obsolete, unused, or single-purpose scripts. Not
    maintained.

HTML Diff Script for Vulkan
===========================

This is a first cut at a script to compare Vulkan HTML specifications. Usage
is simply 'htmldiff file1.html file2.html > diff.html'. The script does not
copy CSS and images required by the input specs, so it's best to generate
the output in the same directory as one of the inputs. However, the script
must be invoked from the directory it is located within.

The scripts used require Python and Perl. Additionally, the python
'utidylib' module and the underlying libtidy C library are required,
which may make it challenging to run the scripts on non-Linux platforms
- I haven't checked and those requirements cannot be easily removed. On
Debian Linux, it may be necessary to install the 'python-utidylib' and
'libtidy' packages if they are not already present. I haven't checked
dependencies for other Linux distributions but they are probably
similar.

The scripts are taken from the code backing the

    http://services.w3.org/htmldiff

website. 'htmldiff' is the Python driver script. 'htmldiff.pl' is the
Perl script which generates the diff after preprocessing of the input
HTML by 'htmldiff'. 'htmldiff.orig' is the original Python script from
the website, modified to run at the command line instead of as a CGI
script.
