| extension for GLSL source languages. |
| - This extension requires the pname:geometryShader and pname:multiViewport |
| features. |

| |
| This extension adds support for the following SPIR-V extension in Vulkan: |
| |
| * +SPV_NV_viewport_array2+ |
| |
| which allows a single primitive to be broadcast to multiple viewports and/or |
| multiple layers. |
| A new shader built-in output code:ViewportMaskNV is provided, which allows a |
| single primitive to be output to multiple viewports simultaneously. |
| Also, a new SPIR-V decoration is added to control whether the effective |
| viewport index is added into the variable decorated with the code:Layer |
| built-in decoration. |
| These capabilities allow a single primitive to be output to multiple layers |
| simultaneously. |
| |
| This extension allows variables decorated with the code:Layer and |
| code:ViewportIndex built-ins to be exported from vertex or tessellation |
| shaders, using the code:ShaderViewportIndexLayerNV capability. |
| |
| This extension adds a new code:ViewportMaskNV built-in decoration that is |
| available for output variables in vertex, tessellation evaluation, and |
| geometry shaders, and a new code:ViewportRelativeNV decoration that can be |
| added on variables decorated with code:Layer when using the |
| code:ShaderViewportMaskNV capability. |
| |
| When using GLSL source-based shading languages, the code:gl_ViewportMask[] |
| built-in output variable and code:viewport_relative layout qualifier from |
| +GL_NV_viewport_array2+ map to the code:ViewportMaskNV and |
| code:ViewportRelativeNV decorations, respectively. |
| Behaviour is described in the +GL_NV_viewport_array2+ extension |
| specificiation. |

| [NOTE] |
| .Note |
| ==== |
| The code:ShaderViewportIndexLayerNV capability is equivalent to the |
| code:ShaderViewportIndexLayerEXT capability added by |
| `<<VK_EXT_shader_viewport_index_layer>>`. |
