- Update to version 1.8:
- Performance improvements have been made to the code that handles descriptor
updates. In some applications the improvement can be quite significant.
- Host-visible descriptor heaps are persistently mapped on creation. Some
applications access resource data from the CPU after calling Unmap(), and
that's supposed to work in practice.
- 1-dimensional texture unordered-access views and shader resource views are
implemented.
- Shader resource view, unordered access view, and constant buffer view root
descriptors with NULL GPU addresses are supported.
- Direct3D 12 descriptor heap destruction is delayed until all contained
resources are destroyed.
- libvkd3d-shader
- New features for the HLSL source type:
- Support for the ternary conditional operator "?:".
- Support for "discard" statements.
- Support for the "packoffset" keyword.
- Support for semantics on array types.
- Support for RWBuffer loads and stores.
- Register allocation for arrays and structures of resources and samplers
is implemented.
- Support for the SV_IsFrontFace pixel shader system-value semantics.
- Support for using constant expressions as array sizes and indices.
- Support for dynamic selection of vector components.
- Support for the following intrinsic functions: D3DCOLORtoUBYTE4(),
any(), asfloat(), ddx(), ddy(), fmod(), log(), log2(), log10(), sign()
and trunc().
- The SampleBias(), SampleCmp(), SampleCmpLevelZero(), and SampleGrad()
texture object methods are implemented.
- Support for the case-insensitive variants of the "vector" and "matrix"
