Description

The VK_KHR_relaxed_block_layout extension allows implementations to indicate they can support more variation in block Offset decorations. For example, placing a vector of three floats at an offset of 16×N + 4.

See Offset and Stride Assignment for details.

Promotion to Vulkan 1.1

All functionality in this extension is included in core Vulkan 1.1, with the KHR suffix omitted. The original type, enum, and command names are still available as aliases of the core functionality.
