Description

VK_KHR_maintenance5 adds a collection of minor features, none of which would warrant an entire extension of their own.

The new features are as follows:

• A new VK_FORMAT_A1B5G5R5_UNORM_PACK16_KHR format
• A new VK_FORMAT_A8_UNORM_KHR format
• A property to indicate that multisample coverage operations are performed after sample counting in EarlyFragmentTests mode
• Relax VkBufferView creation requirements by allowing subsets of the associated VkBuffer usage using VkBufferUsageFlags2CreateInfoKHR
• A new command vkCmdBindIndexBuffer2KHR, allowing a range of memory to be bound as an index buffer
• vkGetDeviceProcAddr must return NULL for supported core functions beyond the version requested by the application.
• A property to indicate that the sample mask test is performed after sample counting in EarlyFragmentTests mode
• vkCmdBindVertexBuffers2 now supports using VK_WHOLE_SIZE in the pSizes parameter.
• A default size of 1.0 is used if PointSize is not written
• Shader modules are deprecated - applications can now pass VkShaderModuleCreateInfo as a chained structure to pipeline creation via VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo
• A function vkGetRenderingAreaGranularityKHR to query the optimal render area for a dynamic rendering instance.
• A property to indicate that depth/stencil texturing operations with VK_COMPONENT_SWIZZLE_ONE have defined behavior
• Add vkGetImageSubresourceLayout2KHR and a new function vkGetDeviceImageSubresourceLayoutKHR to allow the application to query the image memory layout without having to create an image object and query it.
• Allow VK_REMAINING_ARRAY_LAYERS as the layerCount member of VkImageSubresourceLayers
• Adds stronger guarantees for propagation of VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST return values
• A property to indicate whether PointSize controls the final rasterization of polygons if polygon mode is VK_POLYGON_MODE_POINT
• Two properties to indicate the non-strict line rasterization algorithm used
• Two new flags words VkPipelineCreateFlagBits2KHR and VkBufferUsageFlagBits2KHR
• Physical-device-level functions can now be called with any value in the valid range for a type beyond the defined enumerants, such that applications can avoid checking individual features, extensions, or versions before querying supported properties of a particular enumerant.
• Clarification that copies between images of any type are allowed, treating 1D images as 2D images with a height of 1.
