* Bump API patch number and header version number to 60 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Document that <<queries-timestamps, Timestamp Queries>> can only be
meaningfully compared when they are written from the same queue (public
issue 216).
* Document that the `<extension>` tag `type` attribute is required for
non-disabled extensions (derived from, but does not close public issue
354).
* Clean up registry schema length attribute descriptions to be consistent
and correct (public issue 555).
Internal Issues:
* Replace as much of the hand-written extension appendix metadata as
possible with asciidoc includes generated from corresponding attributes
of +vk.xml+, and enhance the style guide to match. This avoids
inconsistencies between +vk.xml+ and the appendices, and produces a more
uniform style (internal issue 137).
* Remove the generated extDependency.{py,sh} files from the tree and
create them dynamically on demand instead, reducing merge conflicts
(internal issue 713).
* Add a prototype tool for generating in-place difference markup for
sections guarded by asciidoc conditionals, and new syntax for open
blocks to support it (internal issue 833).
* Remove unnecessary restriction of etext:*SYNC_FD_BIT_KHR external handle
types to the same physical device in the
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceIDPropertiesKHR,
flink:VkImportMemoryWin32HandleInfoKHR,
slink:VkImportFenceWin32HandleInfoKHR, slink:VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR,
slink:VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR,
slink:VkImportSemaphoreFdInfoKHR
<<external-memory-handle-types-compatibility, External memory handle
types compatibility>>, <<external-semaphore-handle-types-compatibility,
External semaphore handle types compatibility>>, and
<<external-fence-handle-types-compatibility, External fence handle types
compatibility>> sections (internal issue 956).
Other Issues:
* Remove dependency of +VK_KHX_device_group+ on +VK_KHR_swapchain+ (there
is an interaction, but not a strict dependency), and add a new
`extension` attribute to the `<require` XML tag to allow classifying a
subset of interfaces of an extension as requiring another extension.
Update the registry schema and documentation accordingly.
New Extensions:
* `VK_AMD_shader_fragment_mask` (and related `GL_AMD_shader_fragment_mask`
GLSL extension)
* `VK_EXT_sample_locations`
* `VK_EXT_validation_cache`

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 firstInstance parameter passed to
|
|
draw commands,
|
|
* code:BaseVertex, which contains the firstVertex/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.

=== 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 baseVertex parameter, the value of
|
|
code:gl_BaseVertexARB is zero.
|
|
This means that code:gl_BaseVertexARB = baseVertex (for code:glDrawElements
|
|
commands with baseVertex) or 0.
|
|
In particular there are no code:glDrawArrays commands that take a baseVertex
|
|
parameter.
|
|
|
|
Now in Vulkan, we have *BaseVertex* = _vertexOffset_ (for indexed drawing
|
|
commands) or _firstVertex_ (for arrayed drawing commands), and so Vulkan's
|
|
version is really a superset of GL functionality.
