MVKDevice track enabled VkPhysicalDeviceInlineUniformBlockFeaturesEXT features.
Disable prefilled MTLCommandBuffers if update after binding enabled.
Update to latest SPIRV-Cross that includes support for unsized arrays.
Originally, Metal did not support this directly, and still largely
doesn't on GPUs other than Apple family 6. Therefore, this
implementation uses vertex instancing to draw the needed views. To
support the Vulkan requirement that only the layers for the enabled
views are loaded and stored in a multiview render pass, this
implementation uses multiple Metal render passes for multiple "clumps"
of enabled views.
For indirect draws, as with tessellation, we must adjust the draw
parameters at execution time to account for the extra views, so we need
to use deferred store actions here. Without them, tracking the state
becomes too involved.
If the implementation doesn't support either layered rendering or
deferred store actions, multiview render passes are instead unrolled and
rendered one view at a time. This will enable us to support the
extension even on older devices and OSes, but at the cost of additional
command buffer memory and (possibly) worse performance.
Eventually, we should consider using vertex amplification to accelerate
this, particularly since indirect multiview draws are terrible and
currently require a compute pass to adjust the instance count. Also,
instanced drawing in itself is terrible due to its subpar performance.
But, since vertex amplification on family 6 only supports two views,
when `VK_KHR_multiview` mandates a minimum of 6, we'll still need to use
instancing to support more than two views.
I have tested this extensively against the CTS. I'm very confident in
its correctness. The only failing tests are
`dEQP-VK.multiview.queries.*`, due to our inadequate implementation of
timestamp queries; and `dEQP-VK.multiview.depth.*`, due to what I assume
is a bug in the way Metal handles arrayed packed depth/stencil textures,
and which may only be a problem on Mojave. I need to test this on
Catalina and Big Sur.
Update SPIRV-Cross to pull in some fixes necessary for this to work.
Fixes#347.
- Delete fat library and framework scripts and templates.
- MoltenVK build package now only includes one XCFramework, and separate platform dylibs.
- Modify fetchDependencies and Makefile targets to not build fat libraries,
and to build simulators separately than platforms instead.
- Script package_moltenvk.sh now copies dylibs for all built platforms.
- Consolidate package_all.sh and delete package_one_os.sh.
- Swap names of copy_lib_to_staging.sh and copy_to_staging.sh scripts.
- Cube demo now uses MoltenVK as XCFramework, and support Simulator builds.
- Hologram demo now uses MoltenVK as dylibs from new packaging location.
- API-Samples demo now uses MoltenVK as XCFramework.
- Update documentation.
fetchDependencies support option to skip all library builds.
fetchDependencies avoid sync locks if not building in parallel.
fetchDependencies build glslang headers.
Update ExternalRevisions/README.md glslang build integration section.
Update What's New.
SPIRV-Cross can now AND the `gl_SampleMask` output with an additional
fixed mask, presumably from the pipeline. Use this new functionality to
implement pipeline sample mask handling.
Special thanks to Tomek Pontika and Corentin Wallez of Google for
graciously contributing their implementation to SPIRV-Cross.
Update SPIRV-Cross to pull in the change necessary for this.
Metal is picky about interface matching. If the types of a vertex output
and its corresponding fragment input don't match, down to the number of
vector components, it fails pipeline compilation. To support cases where
the number of components in the fragment input is less than the
corresponding vertex output, we need to fix up the fragment shader to
accept the extra components.
Add Scripts/packagePregenSpirvToolsHeaders script to automate packaging Spirv-Tools
headers in support of the fetchDependencies --skip-spirv-tools-build option.

This extension allows fragment shaders to delineate critical sections
where pairs of invocations may not execute simultaneously. In Metal, the
nearest equivalent functionality is raster order groups. This
implementation is thus implemented on top of them.
Update SPIRV-Cross to pull in SPIR-V support for this new extension.
Largely minimal for now. Much of it, particularly most of the
interactions with `VK_KHR_swapchain`, was already implemented
previously. The only interesting bits are the `vkCmdDispatchBase()`
command, and the ability to create arbitrary swapchain images and bind
them to swapchain memory, which requires the use of the previously
implemented `VK_KHR_bind_memory2` extension. Most everything else can be
safely ignored for now.
Non-zero dispatch bases use the compute stage-input region to pass the
dispatch base group to the shader, which must manually adjust the
`WorkgroupId` and `GlobalInvocationId` builtins, since Metal does not do
this for us. I have tested that this approach works well--at least, well
enough to pass the CTS.
Because of the ability to bind arbitrary images to swapchain memory,
I've sucked the guts out of `MVKSwapchainImage` and into `MVKSwapchain`
itself. Availability and drawable management is now performed by the
swapchain object. `MVKSwapchainImage` is now just a specialized kind of
image, created when requested with a `VkImageCreateSwapchainInfoKHR`
structure.
Update SPIRV-Cross so we can support the `vkCmdDispatchBase()` command.
One more step towards Vulkan 1.1.
Update to latest external dependency libraries.
Rename components of VK_INTEL_shader_integer_functions2 to match 1.1.114 Vulkan spec.
Update What's New document.
This extension lets implementations report separate limits for uniform
and storage texel buffers, as well as whether or not the required
alignment is only a single texel of the buffer view's format.
This information is available in Metal, but only through an API query.
We must query the required alignment for every buffer view format we
support.
Update Vulkan-Headers to pull in support for this new extension.

Rename MoltenVKGLSLToSPIRVConverter MVKShaderStage enum to MVKGLSLConversionShaderStage
to avoid naming conflicts with MoltenVK MVKShaderStage enum.

MoltenVKGLSLToSPIRVConverter or VK_NV_glsl_shader extension.

Disable visibility warnings when building MoltenVKShaderConverter
in Release mode from external libraries built in Debug mode.
Always use -Xlinker -w option when creating dylibs to disable visibility warnings.
Some projects also link against SPIRV-Cross statically, and in order to
avoid ABI conflicts, we should use a private namespace for the
SPIRV-Cross dependency to avoid bugs. See SPIRV-Cross issue #902 for
more information. The new namespace is MVK_spirv_cross, and the code
now makes use of the SPIRV_CROSS_NAMESPACE macro rather than spirv_cross.
