on GitHub

A periodic tagged release of volk, matching Vulkan 1.4.350.

New extensions:

• VK_EXT_descriptor_heap 🎉
• VK_ARM_data_graph, VK_ARM_data_graph_optical_flow, VK_ARM_performance_counters_by_region, VK_ARM_shader_instrumentation, VK_ARM_tensors
• VK_EXT_custom_resolve, VK_EXT_external_memory_metal, VK_EXT_fragment_density_map_offset, VK_EXT_memory_decompression, VK_EXT_present_timing, VK_EXT_primitive_restart_index
• VK_KHR_copy_memory_indirect, VK_KHR_device_address_commands, VK_KHR_maintenance10, VK_KHR_present_wait2, VK_KHR_swapchain_maintenance1
• VK_NV_cluster_acceleration_structure, VK_NV_compute_occupancy_priority, VK_NV_cooperative_vector, VK_NV_external_compute_queue, VK_NV_partitioned_acceleration_structure
• VK_OHOS_external_memory, VK_OHOS_surface, VK_SEC_ubm_surface
• VK_QCOM_queue_perf_hint, VK_QCOM_tile_memory_heap, VK_QCOM_tile_shading

Additional changes:

• volkLoadInstanceTable can be used to load instance function pointers into a struct
• volk.h no longer includes Xlib headers directly to avoid polluting global namespace
• VOLK_NAMESPACE CMake configuration can be used to put all volk symbols including vk* function pointers in volk namespace to avoid symbol conflicts with libvulkan (requires compiling as C++)
• VolkDeviceTable/VolkInstanceTable struct layouts are now stable under VK_USE_PLATFORM_* defines
• Improve dlopen sequence on macOS (better priority order) and Linux (RTLD_DEEPBIND is used if requested via VOLK_USE_DEEPBIND)
