Description

This extension adds almost all of the remaining pipeline state as dynamic state to help applications further reduce the number of monolithic pipelines they need to create and bind.

If VK_NV_clip_space_w_scaling is supported:

If VK_NV_coverage_reduction_mode is supported:

If VK_NV_fragment_coverage_to_color is supported:

If VK_NV_framebuffer_mixed_samples is supported:

If VK_NV_representative_fragment_test is supported:

If VK_NV_shading_rate_image is supported:

If VK_NV_viewport_swizzle is supported:

Issues

1) What about the VkPipelineMultisampleStateCreateInfo state sampleShadingEnable and minSampleShading?

UNRESOLVED

  • sampleShadingEnable and minSampleShading are required when compiling the fragment shader, and it is not meaningful to set them dynamically since they always need to match the fragment shader state, so this hardware state may as well just come from the pipeline with the fragment shader.
