Description

This extension provides cross-vendor functionality to specify a custom border color for use when the sampler address mode SAMPLER_ADDRESS_MODE_CLAMP_TO_BORDER is used.

To create a sampler which uses a custom border color set SamplerCreateInfo::borderColor to one of:

When BORDER_COLOR_FLOAT_CUSTOM_EXT or BORDER_COLOR_INT_CUSTOM_EXT is used, applications must provide a SamplerCustomBorderColorCreateInfoEXT in the pNext chain for SamplerCreateInfo.

New Structures

New Enum Constants

Issues

1) Should VkClearColorValue be used for the border color value, or should we have our own struct/union? Do we need to specify the type of the input values for the components? This is more of a concern if VkClearColorValue is used here because it provides a union of float,int,uint types.

RESOLVED: Will re-use existing VkClearColorValue structure in order to easily take advantage of float,int,uint borderColor types.

2) For hardware which supports a limited number of border colors what happens if that number is exceeded? Should this be handled by the driver unbeknownst to the application? In Revision 1 we had solved this issue using a new Object type, however that may have lead to additional system resource consumption which would otherwise not be required.

RESOLVED: Added PhysicalDeviceCustomBorderColorPropertiesEXT::maxCustomBorderColorSamplers for tracking implementation-specific limit, and Valid Usage statement handling overflow.

3) Should this be supported for immutable samplers at all, or by a feature bit? Some implementations may not be able to support custom border colors on immutable samplers — is it worthwhile enabling this to work on them for implementations that can support it, or forbidding it entirely.

RESOLVED: Samplers created with a custom border color are forbidden from being immutable. This resolves concerns for implementations where the custom border color is an index to a LUT instead of being directly embedded into sampler state.

4) Should UINT and SINT (unsigned integer and signed integer) border color types be separated or should they be combined into one generic INT (integer) type?

RESOLVED: Separating these doesn’t make much sense as the existing fixed border color types don’t have this distinction, and there is no reason in hardware to do so. This separation would also create unnecessary work and considerations for the application.
