Description

This extension adds stricter requirements for how out of bounds reads and writes are handled. Most accesses must be tightly bounds-checked, out of bounds writes must be discarded, out of bound reads must return zero. Rather than allowing multiple possible (0,0,0,x) vectors, the out of bounds values are treated as zero, and then missing components are inserted based on the format as described in Conversion to RGBA and vertex input attribute extraction.

These additional requirements may be expensive on some implementations, and should only be enabled when truly necessary.

This extension also adds support for “null descriptors”, where NULL_HANDLE can be used instead of a valid handle. Accesses to null descriptors have well-defined behavior, and do not rely on robustness.

Issues

  1. Why do PhysicalDeviceRobustness2PropertiesEXT::robustUniformBufferAccessSizeAlignment and PhysicalDeviceRobustness2PropertiesEXT::robustStorageBufferAccessSizeAlignment exist?

RESOLVED: Some implementations cannot efficiently tightly bounds-check all buffer accesses. Rather, the size of the bound range is padded to some power of two multiple, up to 256 bytes for uniform buffers and up to 4 bytes for storage buffers, and that padded size is bounds-checked. This is sufficient to implement D3D-like behavior, because D3D only allows binding whole uniform buffers or ranges that are a multiple of 256 bytes, and D3D raw and structured buffers only support 32-bit accesses.

Examples

None.

Synopsis

data PhysicalDeviceRobustness2FeaturesEXT Source #

VkPhysicalDeviceRobustness2FeaturesEXT - Structure describing the out-of-bounds behavior for an implementation

Members

This structure describes the following features:

Description

If the PhysicalDeviceRobustness2FeaturesEXT 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. PhysicalDeviceRobustness2FeaturesEXT can also be used in the pNext chain of DeviceCreateInfo to selectively enable these features.
