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 command, 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 and VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_STORAGE_WRITE_WITHOUT_FORMAT_BIT_KHR specify that an implementation supports reading and writing, respectively, a given VkFormat through storage operations without specifying the format in the shader.
-
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_SAMPLED_IMAGE_DEPTH_COMPARISON_BIT_KHR specifies that an implementation supports depth comparison performed by
OpImage*Dref*instructions on a given VkFormat. Previously the result of executing aOpImage*Dref*instruction on an image view, where theformatwas not one of the depth/stencil formats with a depth component, was undefined. This bit clarifies on which formats such instructions can be used.
Prior to version 2 of this extension, implementations exposing the
shaderStorageImageReadWithoutFormat and
shaderStorageImageWriteWithoutFormat features may not report
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_STORAGE_READ_WITHOUT_FORMAT_BIT_KHR and
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_STORAGE_WRITE_WITHOUT_FORMAT_BIT_KHR in
VkFormatProperties3KHR::bufferFeatures.
Despite this, buffer reads/writes are supported as intended by the original
features.

Promotion to Vulkan 1.3
Vulkan APIs in this extension are included in core Vulkan 1.3, with the KHR suffix omitted. External interactions defined by this extension, such as SPIR-V token names, retain their original names. The original Vulkan API names are still available as aliases of the core functionality.
