| === Description |
| |
| This extension enables C-like structure layout for SPIR-V blocks. |
| It modifies the alignment rules for uniform buffers, storage buffers and |
| push constants, allowing non-scalar types to be aligned solely based on the |
| size of their components, without additional requirements. |
| |
| === Promotion to Vulkan 1.2 |
| |
| Functionality in this extension is included in core Vulkan 1.2, with the EXT |
| suffix omitted. |
| However, if Vulkan 1.2 is supported and this extension is not, the |
| code:scalarBlockLayout capability is optional. |
| The original type, enum and command names are still available as aliases of |
| the core functionality. |
