=== Description

This extension provides efficient read access to the fragment mask in
compressed multisampled color surfaces.
The fragment mask is a lookup table that associates color samples with color
fragment values.

From a shader, the fragment mask can be fetched with a call to
code:fragmentMaskFetchAMD, which returns a single code:uint where each
subsequent four bits specify the color fragment index corresponding to the
color sample, starting from the least significant bit.
For example, when eight color samples are used, the color fragment index for
color sample 0 will be in bits 0-3 of the fragment mask, for color sample 7
the index will be in bits 28-31.

The color fragment for a particular color sample may then be fetched with
the corresponding fragment mask value using the code:fragmentFetchAMD shader
function.

  * <<spirvenv-capabilities-table-FragmentMaskAMD, code:FragmentMaskAMD>>

=== Examples

This example shows a shader that queries the fragment mask from a
multisampled compressed surface and uses it to query fragment values.
