Description

This extension allows the execution of one or more rendering commands to be conditional on a value in buffer memory. This may help an application reduce the latency by conditionally discarding rendering commands without application intervention. The conditional rendering commands are limited to draws, compute dispatches and clearing attachments within a conditional rendering block.

Issues

1) Should conditional rendering affect copy and blit commands?

RESOLVED: Conditional rendering should not affect copies and blits.

2) Should secondary command buffers be allowed to execute while conditional rendering is active in the primary command buffer?

RESOLVED: The rendering commands in secondary command buffer will be affected by an active conditional rendering in primary command buffer if the pname:conditionalRenderingEnable is set to ename:VK_TRUE. Conditional rendering must: not be active in the primary command buffer if pname:conditionalRenderingEnable is ename:VK_FALSE.

Examples

None.
