|
This extension allows the execution of one or more rendering commands to be
|
|
conditional on a value in buffer memory.
|
|
This may help an application reduce the latency by conditionally discarding
|
|
rendering commands without application intervention.
|
|
The conditional rendering commands are limited to draws, compute dispatches
|
|
and clearing attachments within a conditional rendering block.

=== Issues
|
|
|
|
1) Should conditional rendering affect copy and blit commands?
|
|
|
|
RESOLVED: Conditional rendering should not affect copies and blits.
|
|
|
|
2) Should secondary command buffers be allowed to execute while conditional
|
|
rendering is active in the primary command buffer?
|
|
|
|
RESOLVED: The rendering commands in secondary command buffer will be
|
|
affected by an active conditional rendering in primary command buffer if the
|
|
pname:conditionalRenderingEnable is set to ename:VK_TRUE.
|
|
Conditional rendering must: not be active in the primary command buffer if
|
|
pname:conditionalRenderingEnable is ename:VK_FALSE.
|
|
|
|
=== Examples
|
|
|
|
None.
