Description

This extension enables reads from attachments and resources written by previous fragment shaders within a dynamic render pass.

New Commands

• cmdSetRenderingAttachmentLocationsKHR

• cmdSetRenderingInputAttachmentIndicesKHR

New Structures

• Extending GraphicsPipelineCreateInfo, CommandBufferInheritanceInfo:

  • RenderingAttachmentLocationInfoKHR

  • RenderingInputAttachmentIndexInfoKHR

• Extending PhysicalDeviceFeatures2, DeviceCreateInfo:

  • PhysicalDeviceDynamicRenderingLocalReadFeaturesKHR

New Enum Constants

• KHR_DYNAMIC_RENDERING_LOCAL_READ_EXTENSION_NAME

• KHR_DYNAMIC_RENDERING_LOCAL_READ_SPEC_VERSION

• Extending ImageLayout:

  • IMAGE_LAYOUT_RENDERING_LOCAL_READ_KHR

• Extending StructureType:

  • STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_DYNAMIC_RENDERING_LOCAL_READ_FEATURES_KHR

  • STRUCTURE_TYPE_RENDERING_ATTACHMENT_LOCATION_INFO_KHR

  • STRUCTURE_TYPE_RENDERING_INPUT_ATTACHMENT_INDEX_INFO_KHR

Promotion to Vulkan 1.4

Functionality in this extension is included in core Vulkan 1.4, with the KHR suffix omitted. However, Vulkan 1.4 implementations only have to support local read for storage resources and single sampled color attachments.

Support for reading depth/stencil attachments and multi-sampled attachments are respectively gated behind the new boolean dynamicRenderingLocalReadDepthStencilAttachments and dynamicRenderingLocalReadMultisampledAttachments properties, as described in the Version 1.4 appendix.

The original type, enum, and command names are still available as aliases of the core functionality.
