When the client acquires the Vulkan queue it has to ensure that
it is not submitting work before other work it depends on already
submitted through the Direct3D 12 API but currently in the internal
vkd3d queue. Currently we suggest to enqueue signalling a fence and
than wait for it before acquiring the Vulkan queue, which is
correct but excessive: it will wait not just for the work currently
in the queue to be submitted, but for it to be executed too,
introducing useless dependencies.
By adding a way to enqueue signalling a fence on the CPU side we
allow the client to wait for the currently outstanding work to
be submitted to Vulkan, but nothing more.
Some test programs, particularly the shader runner, are built from
many different files nowadays, and a line number is relatively
cumbersome to use if you don't know which file that line comes from.
Based on the design document, "The runtime will not clamp or validate
the input, but implementations may clamp to the range [0,1] if necessary.",
so we test for the EXT_depth_range_unrestricted extension, and only clamp if
it's not available (thus, necessary to do so).
NaNs are converted to zero as per "NaNs must be treated as 0, but the runtime
will convert NaNs to 0 on behalf of the implementation.", and a default bounds
are set to 0.0 and 1.0.
This would allow us to use vkd3d-utils directly in Wine [with the exception of
D3D_COMPILE_STANDARD_FILE_INCLUDE, but we can simply pass the ID3DInclude object
to D3DCompile2VKD3D().]
