Description
This extension adds a new VkFormatFeatureFlagBits2KHR 64bits format feature flag type to extend the existing VkFormatFeatureFlagBits which is limited to 31 flags. At the time of this writing 29 bits of VkFormatFeatureFlagBits are already used.
Because VkFormatProperties2 is already defined to extend the Vulkan 1.0 vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties entry point, this extension defines a new VkFormatProperties3KHR to extend the VkFormatProperties.
On top of replicating all the bits from VkFormatFeatureFlagBits, VkFormatFeatureFlagBits2KHR adds the following bits :
-
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_STORAGE_READ_WITHOUT_FORMAT_BIT_KHR
andVK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_STORAGE_WRITE_WITHOUT_FORMAT_BIT_KHR
indicate that an implementation supports respectively reading and writing a given VkFormat through storage operations without specifying the format in the shader. -
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_SAMPLED_IMAGE_DEPTH_COMPARISON_BIT_KHR
indicates that an implementation supports depth comparison performed byOpImage*Dref*
instructions on a given VkFormat. Previously the result of executing aOpImage*Dref*
instruction on an image view, where theformat
was not one of the depth/stencil formats with a depth component, was undefined. This bit clarifies on which formats such instructions can be used.
