Description

One of the states that contributes to the combinatorial explosion of pipeline state objects that need to be created, is the vertex input binding and attribute descriptions. By allowing them to be dynamic applications may reduce the number of pipeline objects they need to create.

This extension adds dynamic state support for what is normally static state in VkPipelineVertexInputStateCreateInfo.
