Description
This extension adds support for a new query type to match OpenGL’s
GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED
to support layering.

Issues
1) Can the query from VK_EXT_transform_feedback
be used instead?
RESOLVED: No. While the query from VK_EXT_transform_feedback can
produce the same results as in this extension, it is only available
while transform feedback is active. The OpenGL GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED
query is independent from transform feedback. Emulation through
artificial transform feedback is unnecessarily inefficient.
2) Can
QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTIC_CLIPPING_INVOCATIONS_BIT
be used instead?
RESOLVED: It could, but we prefer the extension for simplicity.
Vulkan requires that only one query be active at a time. If both the
GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED
and the GL_CLIPPING_INPUT_PRIMITIVES_ARB
queries need to be simultaneously enabled, emulation of both through
QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTIC_CLIPPING_INVOCATIONS_BIT
is inconvenient.
3) On some hardware, this query cannot be implemented if
PipelineRasterizationStateCreateInfo
::rasterizerDiscardEnable
is enabled. How will this be handled?
RESOLVED: A feature flag is exposed by this extension for this. On said hardware, the GL implementation disables rasterizer-discard and achieves the same effect through other means. It will not be able to do the same in Vulkan due to lack of state information. A feature flag is exposed by this extension so the OpenGL implementation on top of Vulkan would be able to implement a similar workaround.
4) On some hardware, this query cannot be implemented for non-zero query indices. How will this be handled?
RESOLVED: A feature flag is exposed by this extension for this. If
this feature is not present, the query from VK_EXT_transform_feedback
can be used to the same effect.
5) How is the interaction of this extension with
transformFeedbackRasterizationStreamSelect
handled?
RESOLVED: Disallowed for non-zero streams. In OpenGL, the rasterization stream is always stream zero.

data PhysicalDevicePrimitivesGeneratedQueryFeaturesEXT Source #
VkPhysicalDevicePrimitivesGeneratedQueryFeaturesEXT - Structure describing support for primitives generated query
Members
This structure describes the following features:
Description
If the PhysicalDevicePrimitivesGeneratedQueryFeaturesEXT
structure is
included in the pNext
chain of the
PhysicalDeviceFeatures2
structure passed to
getPhysicalDeviceFeatures2
,
it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is
supported. PhysicalDevicePrimitivesGeneratedQueryFeaturesEXT
can
also be used in the pNext
chain of
DeviceCreateInfo
to selectively enable these
features.
