- This extension requires the
https://www.khronos.org/registry/spir-v/extensions/NV/SPV_NVX_multiview_per_view_attributes.html[`SPV_NVX_multiview_per_view_attributes`]
SPIR-V extension.
- This extension requires the `GL_NVX_multiview_per_view_attributes`
extension for GLSL source languages.
- This extension interacts with `<<VK_NV_viewport_array2>>`.

This extension adds a new way to write shaders to be used with multiview
subpasses, where the attributes for all views are written out by a single
invocation of the vertex processing stages.
Related SPIR-V and GLSL extensions `SPV_NVX_multiview_per_view_attributes`
and `GL_NVX_multiview_per_view_attributes` introduce per-view position and
viewport mask attributes arrays, and this extension defines how those
per-view attribute arrays are interpreted by Vulkan.
Pipelines using per-view attributes may: only execute the vertex processing
stages once for all views rather than once per-view, which reduces redundant
shading work.
A subpass creation flag controls whether the subpass uses this extension.
A subpass must: either exclusively use this extension or not use it at all.
Some Vulkan implementations only support the position attribute varying
between views in the X component.
A subpass can declare via a second creation flag whether all pipelines
compiled for this subpass will obey this restriction.
Shaders that use the new per-view outputs (e.g. code:gl_PositionPerViewNV)
must: also write the non-per-view output (code:gl_Position), and the values
written must: be such that `gl_Position =
gl_PositionPerViewNV[gl_ViewIndex]` for all views in the subpass.
Implementations are free to either use the per-view outputs or the
non-per-view outputs, whichever would be more efficient.
If `<<VK_NV_viewport_array2>>` is not also supported and enabled, the
per-view viewport mask must: not be used.
