- Update to version 1.11:
- libvkd3d
Descriptor updates happen asynchronously on an internal worker thread, for
a minor performance improvement in applications that update many
descriptors per frame.
When the VK_EXT_mutable_descriptor_type extension is available, libvkd3d
will make more efficient use of descriptor pools and sets.
When the VK_EXT_shader_viewport_index_layer extension is available,
libvkd3d supports indexing viewport and render target arrays from vertex
and tessellation evaluation shaders.
Support for standard (i.e., black and white) border colours is implemented.
The GetResourceAllocationInfo1() method of the ID3D12Device4 interface is
implemented.
The ID3D12Device7 and ID3D12Resource2 interface is supported.
Several new feature queries are supported: D3D12_FEATURE_D3D12_OPTIONS6,
D3D12_FEATURE_D3D12_OPTIONS7, D3D12_FEATURE_D3D12_OPTIONS8,
D3D12_FEATURE_D3D12_OPTIONS9, D3D12_FEATURE_D3D12_OPTIONS10,
D3D12_FEATURE_D3D12_OPTIONS11, D3D12_FEATURE_D3D12_OPTIONS12 and
D3D12_FEATURE_D3D12_OPTIONS13
- libvkd3d-shader
Initial support for compiling legacy Direct3D bytecode to SPIR-V.
Experimental support for compiling DirectX Intermediate Language (DXIL) to
SPIR-V and Direct3D shader assembly. Being an experimental feature, this
requires building vkd3d with the ‘-DVKD3D_SHADER_UNSUPPORTED_DXIL’
preprocessor option. Note that enabling this feature will affect the
capabilities reported by libvkd3d as well, and may cause previously working
applications to break due to attempting to use incomplete DXIL support. No
API or ABI stability guarantees are provided for experimental features.
New features for the HLSL source type:
Initial support for the ‘fx_2_0’, ‘fx_4_0’, ‘fx_4_1’, and ‘fx_5_0’
profiles, using the new ‘VKD3D_SHADER_TARGET_FX’ target type.
Support for ‘Buffer’ resources.
The acos(), asin(), atan(), and atan2() intrinsic functions are supported.
Explicit register assignment using the ‘register()’ keyword in shader model
1-3 profiles. This was previously only supported in shader model 4+
profiles.
Casts from integer to floating-point types in shader model 1-3 profiles.
Support for various input/output semantics:
SV_InstanceID in shader model 4+ fragment shaders.
SV_PrimitiveID in shader model 4+ fragment shaders. In previous versions
this was only supported in shader model 4+ geometry shaders.
SV_RenderTargetArrayIndex in shader model 4+ vertex and fragment shaders.
SV_ViewportArrayIndex in shader model 4+ vertex and fragment shaders.
Support for various rasteriser-ordered view types. Specifically:
RasterizerOrderedBuffer, RasterizerOrderedStructuredBuffer,
RasterizerOrderedTexture1D, RasterizerOrderedTexture1DArray,
RasterizerOrderedTexture2D, RasterizerOrderedTexture2DArray,
RasterizerOrderedTexture3D
New features for the SPIR-V target type:
Support for globally coherent unordered access views. These have the
‘globallycoherent’ storage class in HLSL, and the ‘_glc’ suffix in Direct3D
assembly.
Support for thread group unordered access view barriers. This corresponds
to ‘sync_ugroup’ instructions in Direct3D assembly.
When the SPV_EXT_viewport_index_layer extension is supported, vertex and
tessellation evaluation shaders can write render target and viewport array
indices. This corresponds to the ‘SV_RenderTargetArrayIndex’ and
‘SV_ViewportArrayIndex’ HLSL output semantics.
New interfaces:
The VKD3D_SHADER_COMPILE_OPTION_FEATURE compile option can be used to
specify features available in the target environment. The
VKD3D_SHADER_COMPILE_OPTION_FEATURE_INT64 flag indicates support for 64-bit
integer types in the SPIR-V target environment. The
VKD3D_SHADER_COMPILE_OPTION_FEATURE_FLOAT64 flag indicates support for
64-bit floating-point types in the SPIR-V target environment. For backward
compatibility, VKD3D_SHADER_API_VERSION_1_10 and earlier also imply support
for 64-bit floating-point types.
The VKD3D_SHADER_SPIRV_EXTENSION_EXT_VIEWPORT_INDEX_LAYER enumeration value
indicates support for the SPV_EXT_viewport_index_layer extension in the
SPIR-V target environment.
-libvkd3d-utils
When available, the following Vulkan extensions are enabled by
D3D12CreateDeviceVKD3D() and D3D12CreateDevice(): VK_KHR_android_surface,
VK_KHR_wayland_surface, VK_KHR_win32_surface, VK_KHR_xlib_surface,
VK_EXT_metal_surface, VK_MVK_ios_surface
Previous versions of vkd3d-utils enabled VK_KHR_xcb_surface and
VK_MVK_macos_surface. In practice this means that D3D12CreateDevice() /
D3D12CreateDeviceVKD3D() can be used on the corresponding additional window
systems.
New interfaces:
D3DReflect() is used to retrieve information about shaders. It currently
supports retrieving information about input, output, and patch constant
parameters using the ID3D12ShaderReflection interface.
D3DDisassemble() is used to disassemble legacy Direct3D bytecode (shader
model 1-3) and ‘Tokenized Program Format’ (shader model 4 and 5) shaders.
- vkd3d-compiler
The new ‘fx’ target is used for outputting Direct3D effects when compiling
HLSL ‘fx_2_0’, ‘fx_4_0’, ‘fx_4_1’, and ‘fx_5_0’ profiles.
