| 23 "Alternatively, the layer can be [...] for which it is enabled." 25 "As mentioned, it is not only [...] instances of the VkLayerProperties structure." "Likewise, to enable a layer [...] used to create the device" |
Device only layers are deprecated1 | "to maintain compatibility with implementations released prior to device-layer deprecation, applications should still enumerate and enable device layers"1, otherwise device layers are ignored in VkDeviceCreateInfo2 |
| 26 "VK_LAYER_LUNARG_standard_validation" | VK_LAYER_LUNARG_standard_validation is deprecated3 (better source wanted) | VK_LAYER_LUNARG_standard_validation was replaced by VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation3 (better source wanted) |
| 51-52 "Each successive level is half of the level above it until halving the size of the image again in one of the dimensions would result in a single texel in that direction" 55 imageCreateInfo.mipLevels is set to 10 |
"would" means stop before the single texel case, the smallest mipmap if there are 10 miplevels for a 1024x1024x1 image is 2x2x1 | For each successive level the size of the image in every dimension is half of the size in that direction for the level above it unless already 1, in which case it will remain 1, until the size of the image is 1x1x14, imageCreateInfo.mipLevels should be set to 11 |
| 118 "For avoiding RaW hazards, the [...] is actually a read operation." | The paragraph after this text is an example of a WaR hazard (i.e. "all texture fetches [must be] complete before overwriting an image") | "For avoiding WaR hazards, the ..." |
