    ARB Extension #131

Dependencies

    OpenGL 2.0 or OpenGL ES 2.0 is required.

    ARB_internalformat_query is required.

    This extension is written against the OpenGL 4.2 (Core Profile)
    Specification.

    OES_texture_3D, ARB_framebuffer_object, EXT_texture_sRGB,
    ARB_framebuffer_sRGB, ARB_texture_sRGB_decode,
    EXT_texture_sRGB_decode, ARB_tessellation_shader,
    ARB_geometry_shader4, ARB_compute_shader, EXT_texture_array,
    ARB_texture_cube_map_array, ARB_texture_multisample,
    ARB_texture_rectangle, ARB_texture_buffer_object,
    ARB_texture_gather, ARB_debug_output, KHR_debug,
    ARB_clear_buffer_object, ARB_texture_compression_bptc,
    ARB_texture_compression_rgtc, ARB_stencil_texturing,
    ARB_depth_texture, OES_depth_texture, ARB_texture_view,
    ARB_texture_storage, ARB_texture_storage_multisample,
    ARB_shader_image_load_store, EXT_direct_state_access,
    EXT_texture_compression_s3tc, and core specifications
    that incorporate these extensions affect the definition
    of this extension.

Overview

    This extension extends the GetInternalformativ query that was added in
    the ARB_internalformat_query extension to provide applications with more 
    granular per-format capability information.

    This extension allows the remainder of the texture-style targets to
    be specified along with any possible internal format. 
    We add queries for additional properties supported for an internal
    format in addition to the multisample-related information that was
    added in ARB_internalformat_query.

    The goals of this extension are to: 

    a) provide a mechanism for implementations to declare support *above* the
       minimum required by the specification

    b) provide API to allow universally constant information to be queried

    c) provide a user-friendly way of finding out about version- or 
       implementation-specific limitations. 

    While much of this information can be determined for a single GL version
    by careful examination of the specification, support for many of these 
    properties has been gradually introduced over a number of API
    revisions. This can observed when considering the range in functionality
    between the various versions of GL 2, 3, and 4, as well as GL ES 2 and 3.

    In the case of an application which wishes to be scalable and able to run
    on a variety of possible GL or GL ES versions without being specifically
    tailored for each version, it must either have knowledge of the
    specifications built up into either the code or tables, or it must do
    a number of tests on startup to determine which capabilities are present.

    In OpenGL, other than the course-grained extension mechanism, many 
    limitations of, or limited support for, an internalformat can only 
    be signaled by failing an operation or by operating at reduced
    performance.  Thus, such tests often involve attempts to create resources,
    using them in specific ways and benchmarking the operations to
    find out if it is supported in the desired form, and at a required 
    performance level. The extension provides a way for these properties
    and caveats to be directly queried from the implementation.

    This extension is NOT intended to allow implementations to only support
    a subset of features that are required by a specific GL version, nor is
    it intended to replace the proper use of extension checks for optional
    functionality.

    Replace Section 6.1.15 "Internal Format Queries" with the following:

    "Information about implementation-dependent support for internal formats
    can be queried with the commands

        void GetInternalformativ(enum target, enum internalformat,
                                 enum pname, sizei bufSize, int *params);

    <internalformat> can be any value. The INTERNALFORMAT_SUPPORTED <pname>
    can be used to determine if the internal format is supported, and the 
    other <pnames> are defined in terms of whether or not the format is
    supported.
   
    <target> indicates the usage of the <internalformat>, and must be one of
    the targets listed in Table 6.xx, otherwise the INVALID_ENUM error is
    generated.

      Table 6.xx: Possible targets that <internalformat> can be used with
      and the corresponding usage meaning. 

    No more than <bufSize> integers will be written into <params>. If
    more data are available, they will be ignored and no error will be
    generated.

    <pname> indicates the information to query. The following list provides
    the valid values for <pname>, defines the meaning and the possible 
    responses. In the following descriptions, the term /resource/ is used 
    to generically refer to an object of the appropriate type that has 
    been created with <internalformat> and <target>.  If the particualar
    <target> and <internalformat> combination do not make sense, or if
    a particular type of <target> is not supported by the implementation
    the "unsupported" answer should be given. This is not an error.

    All properties can be queried via either GetInternalformat* command.
    Data conversions are done as defined in section 6.1.2.

    For <pname> queries that return information about supported type of 
    operation in <params>, they have the following meanings:

    - NONE: the requested capability is not supported at all by the
      implementation.

    - CAVEAT_SUPPORT: the requested capability is supported by the 
      implementation, but there may be some implementation-specific
      caveats that make support less than optimal. For example using
      the feature may result in reduced performance (relative to other
      formats or features), such as software rendering or other mechanisms
      of emulating the desired feature. 

      If a query reports that there is a caveat and the debug output 
      functionality is enabled (see section 5.5 or ARB_debug_output), 
      the GL will generate a debug output message describing the caveat.
      The message has the source DEBUG_SOURCE_API, the type 
      DEBUG_TYPE_PERFORMANCE, and an implementation-dependent ID.

    - FULL_SUPPORT: the requested capability is fully supported by the
      implementation.

    The following are the supported values for <pname>:

    - INTERNALFORMAT_SUPPORTED: If <internalformat> is an internal format
      that is supported by the implementation in at least some subset of 
      possible operations, TRUE is written to <params>.  If <internalformat>
      if not a valid token for any internal format usage, FALSE is returned.

      <internalformats> that must be supported (in GL 4.2 or later) include
      the following: 
       - "sized internal formats" from Table 3.12, 3.13, and 3.15,
       - any specific "compressed internal format" from Table 3.14,
       - any "image unit format" from Table 3.21.
       - any generic "compressed internal format" from Table 3.14, if the
         implementation accepts it for any texture specification commands, and
       - unsized or base internal format, if the implementation accepts 
         it for texture or image specification. 

      In other words, any <internalformat> accepted by any of the commands:
        ClearBufferData, ClearBufferSubData,
        CompressedTexImage1D, CompressedTexImage2D, CompressedTexImage3D,
        CopyTexImage1D, CopyTexImage2D,

        MultiTexImage1DEXT, MultiTexImage2DEXT, MultiTexImage3DEXT
        CompressedTextureImage3DEXT, CompressedTextureImage2DEXT, CompressedTextureImage1DEXT,
        CompressedMultiTexImage3DEXT, CompressedMultiTexImage2DEXT, CompressedMultiTexImage1DEXT

        TextureStorage2DMultisampleEXT, TextureStorage3DMultisampleEXT, and
      any valid <format> accepted by BindImageTexture, must be supported.

    - NUM_SAMPLE_COUNTS: The number of sample counts that would be
      returned by querying SAMPLES is returned in <params>.
      * If <internalformat> is not color-renderable, depth-renderable, or
        stencil-renderable (as defined in section 4.4.4), or if <target>
        does not support multiple samples (ie other than TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE,
        TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE_ARRAY, or RENDERBUFFER), 0 is returned.

    - SAMPLES: The sample counts supported for this <internalformat> and
      <target> are written into <params>, in descending order. Only
      positive values are returned.
      * Note that querying SAMPLES with a <bufSize> of 1 will return just
        the maximum supported number of samples for this format.
      * The maximum value in SAMPLES is guaranteed to be at least the lowest
        of the following:
        - The value of GetIntegerv(MAX_INTEGER_SAMPLES), if <internalformat>
          is a signed or unsigned integer format.
        - The value of GetIntegerv(MAX_DEPTH_TEXTURE_SAMPLES), if
          <internalformat> is a depth/stencil-renderable format and <target>
          is TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE or TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE_ARRAY.
        - The value of GetIntegerv(MAX_COLOR_TEXTURE_SAMPLES), if
          <internalformat> is a color-renderable format and <target> is
          TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE or TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE_ARRAY.
        - The value of GetIntegerv(MAX_SAMPLES).
      * If <internalformat> is not color-renderable, depth-renderable, or
        stencil-renderable (as defined in section 4.4.4), or if <target>
        does not support multiple samples (ie other than TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE,
        TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE_ARRAY, or RENDERBUFFER), <params> is not
        modified.

    - INTERNALFORMAT_PREFERRED: The implementation-preferred internal format
      for representing resources of the specified <internalformat> is returned
      in <params>. The preferred internal format should have no less precision
      than the requested one. If the specified <internalformat> is already
      a preferred format, or is there is no better format that is compatible,
      the queried <internalformat> value is written to <params>.  If the 
      <internalformat> is not supported, NONE is returned.

    - INTERNALFORMAT_RED_SIZE
    - INTERNALFORMAT_GREEN_SIZE
    - INTERNALFORMAT_BLUE_SIZE
    - INTERNALFORMAT_ALPHA_SIZE
    - INTERNALFORMAT_DEPTH_SIZE
    - INTERNALFORMAT_STENCIL_SIZE
    - INTERNALFORMAT_SHARED_SIZE
      For uncompressed internal formats, queries of these values return the
      actual resolutions that would be used for storing image array components
      for the resource.  
      For compressed internal formats, the resolutions returned specify the 
      component resolution of an uncompressed internal format that produces
      an image of roughly the same quality as the compressed algorithm.
      For textures this query will return the same information as querying
      GetTexLevelParameter{if}v for TEXTURE_*_SIZE would return.
      If the internal format is unsupported, or if a particular component is
      not present in the format, 0 is written to <params>.

    - INTERNALFORMAT_RED_TYPE
    - INTERNALFORMAT_GREEN_TYPE
    - INTERNALFORMAT_BLUE_TYPE
    - INTERNALFORMAT_ALPHA_TYPE
    - INTERNALFORMAT_DEPTH_TYPE
    - INTERNALFORMAT_STENCIL_TYPE
      For uncompressed internal formats, queries for these values return the
      data type used to store the component.
      For compressed internal formats the types returned specify how components
      are interpreted after decompression. 
      For textures this query returns the same information as querying
      GetTexLevelParameter{if}v for TEXTURE_*TYPE would return.
      Possible values return include, NONE, SIGNED_NORMALIZED,
      UNSIGNED_NORMALIZED, FLOAT, INT, UNSIGNED_INT, representing missing,
      signed normalized fixed point, unsigned normalized fixed point, 
      floating-point, signed unnormalized integer and unsigned unnormalized
      integer components. NONE is returned for all component types if the
      format is unsupported.

    - MAX_WIDTH: The maximum supported width for the resource is returned in
      <params>. For resources with only one-dimension, this one dimension is
      considered the width. If the resource is unsupported, zero is returned.

    - MAX_HEIGHT: The maximum supported height for the resource is returned in
      <params>. For resources with two or more dimensions, the second dimension
      is considered the height. If the resource does not have at least two
      dimensions, or if the resource is unsupported, zero is returned.

    - MAX_DEPTH: The maximum supported depth for the resource is returned in
      <params>. For resources with three or more dimensions, the third 
      dimension is considered the depth. If the resource does not have at least
      three dimensions, or if the resource is unsupported, zero is returned.

    - MAX_LAYERS: The maximum supported number of layers for the resource is
      returned in <params>. For 1D array targets, the value returned is the
      same as the MAX_HEIGHT. For 2D and cube array targets, the value returned
      is the same as the MAX_DEPTH. If the resource does not support layers, 
      or if the resource is unsupported, zero is returned. 

    - MAX_COMBINED_DIMENSIONS: The maximum combined dimensions for the resource
      is returned in <params>. The combined dimensions is the product of the
      individual dimensions of the resource. For multisampled surfaces the
      number of samples is considered an additional dimension. Note that the
      value returned can be >= 2^32 and should be queried with the 64-bit query.
      This value should be considered a recommendations for applications. There
      may be system-dependant reasons why allocations larger than this size may
      fail, even if there might appear to be sufficient memory available when
      queried via some other means. This also does not provide a guarantee that
      allocations smaller than this will succeed because this value is not
      affected by existing resource allocations.
      For 1D targets this is the maximum single dimension.
      For 1D array targets this is the maximum combined width and layers.
      For 2D targets this is the maximum combined width and height.
      For 2D multisample targets this is the combined width, height and samples.
      For 2D array targets this is the max combined width, height and layers.
      For 2D multisample array targets, this is the max combined width, height,
      layers and samples.
      For 3D targets this is the maximum combined width, height and depth. 
      For cube map targets this is the maximum combined width, height and 
      faces.
      For cube map array targets this is the maximum width, height and
      layer-faces.
      If the resource is unsupported, zero is returned.

      If the resource or operation is not supported, NONE is returned.

    - SIMULTANEOUS_TEXTURE_AND_STENCIL_TEST: The support for using the resource
      both as a source for texture sampling while it is bound as a buffer for
      stencil test is written to <params>. For example, a depth (or stencil)
      texture could be bound simultaneously for texturing while it is bound as
      a depth (and/or stencil) buffer without causing a feedback loop,
      provided that stencil writes are disabled.
      Possible values returned are FULL_SUPPORT, CAVEAT_SUPPORT, or NONE.
      If the resource or operation is not supported, NONE is returned.

    - SIMULTANEOUS_TEXTURE_AND_DEPTH_WRITE: The support for using the resource
      both as a source for texture sampling while performing depth writes to
      the resources is written to <params>.  For example, a depth-stencil
      texture could be bound simultaneously for stencil texturing while it
      is bound as a depth buffer. Feedback loops cannot occur because sampling 
      a stencil texture only returns the stencil portion, and thus writes to
      the depth buffer do not modify the stencil portions.
      Possible values returned are FULL_SUPPORT, CAVEAT_SUPPORT, or NONE.
      If the resource or operation is not supported, NONE is returned.

    - SIMULTANEOUS_TEXTURE_AND_STENCIL_WRITE: The support for using the resource
      both as a source for texture sampling while performing stencil writes to
      the resources is written to <params>.  For example, a depth-stencil
      texture could be bound simultaneously for depth-texturing while it is
      bound as a stencil buffer. Feedback loops cannot occur because sampling
      a depth texture only returns the depth portion, and thus writes to
      the stencil buffer could not modify the depth portions.
      Possible values returned are FULL_SUPPORT, CAVEAT_SUPPORT, or NONE.
      If the resource or operation is not supported, NONE is returned.

    - TEXTURE_COMPRESSED: If <internalformat> is a compressed format
      that is supported for this type of resource, TRUE is returned in 
      <params>. If the internal format is not compressed, or the type of
      resource is not supported, FALSE is returned.

    - TEXTURE_COMPRESSED_BLOCK_WIDTH: If the resource contains a compressed
      format, the width of a compressed block (in bytes) is returned in
      <params>. If the internal format is not compressed, or the resource
      is not supported, 0 is returned.

    - TEXTURE_COMPRESSED_BLOCK_HEIGHT: If the resource contains a compressed
      format, the height of a compressed block (in bytes) is returned in
      <params>. If the internal format is not compressed, or the resource
      is not supported, 0 is returned.

    - TEXTURE_COMPRESSED_BLOCK_SIZE: If the resource contains a compressed
      format the number of bytes per block is returned in <params>.  If the
      internal format is not compressed, or the resource is not supported,
      0 is returned. 
      (combined with the above, allows the bitrate to be computed, and may be
      useful in conjunction with ARB_compressed_texture_pixel_storage).

    - CLEAR_BUFFER: The support for using the resource with ClearBuffer*Data
      commands is returned in <params>.
      Possible values returned are FULL_SUPPORT, CAVEAT_SUPPORT, or NONE.
      If the resource or operation is not supported, NONE is returned.

    - TEXTURE_VIEW: The support for using the resource with the TextureView
      command is returned in <params>.
      Possible values returned are FULL_SUPPORT, CAVEAT_SUPPORT, or NONE.
      If the resource or operation is not supported, NONE is returned.
 
    - VIEW_COMPATIBILITY_CLASS: The compatibility class of the resource when
      used as a texture view is returned in <params>. The compatibility
      class is one of the values from the /Class/ column of Table 3.X.2. If
      the resource has no other formats that are compatible, the resource
      does not support views, or if texture views are not supported, NONE is
      returned.

    If <pname> is not one of the preceeding names, the error INVALID_ENUM
    is generated."

Issues

    1) What should this extension be called?

    DISCUSSION: Some options that come to mind: 
       ARB_internalformat_query2
       ARB_internalformat_query_extended
    RESOLVED: use ARB_internalformat_query2.

    2) Should the <internalformat> parameter take "base internal formats" from
    Table 3.11, any of the "generic" compressed formats, or any other unsized 
    tokens? What about allowing *any* possible value for <internalformat> so
    that list of formats queryable is not tied to any particular GL version?

    DISCUSSION: Tying the internalformats accepted to various tables in one 
    specific version of the spec makes it difficult to determine what should
    be supported when this is implemented against other versions of the specs
    and even worse when you consider extensions which add new formats but 
    which may not have updated the tables.

    RESOLVED: It will be simpler and more useful to allow the query to take
    any enum value for the INTERNALFORMAT_SUPPORTED <pname> and then define
    the behaviour of all the other queries in terms of "supported internal
    formats".

    "base internal" formats, "generic compressed" formats and unsized
    formats (such as RGBA or RGB_COMPRESSED) are all possible, provided the
    implementation supports them for texture or image specification, and will 
    return appropriate information based on the internal format that the
    particular implementation would map them to internally if used as such.

    3 a) What if the combination of <target> and <pname> is invalid/nonsense
         (e.g. any texture related query on RENDERBUFFER)?
      b) What if the <target>/<pname> make sense, but the <internalformat>
         does not for that <pname> (e.g. COLOR_ENCODING for non-color internal
         format)?

    RESOLVED. If the combinations of parameters does not make sense the
    reponse best representing "not supported" or "not applicable" is returned
    as defined for each <pname>.
    In general:
     - size- or count-based queries will return zero,
     - support-, format- or type-based queries will return NONE,
     - boolean-based queries will return FALSE, and 
     - list-based queries return no entries.

    4) Should we expose a way for an implementation to describe what the
    caveats might be on a particular operation?

    RESOLVED. If ARB_debug_output or equivalent functionality is present
    and enabled, the caveat will be written to the debug output log.
    The message has the source DEBUG_SOURCE_API, the type 
    DEBUG_TYPE_PERFORMANCE, and an implementation-dependent ID.

    5) Do layers generalize in the MAX_COMBINED_DIMENSIONS? How do cube map
    faces and multisample resources work?

    RESOLVED.  Yes layers generalize in the MAX_COMBINED_DIMENSIONS, as do
    cube map faces and multiple samples.  
    The calculation for cube maps is: width x height x 6.
    The calculation for cube map arrays is: width x height x layers x 6.
    The calculation for 2D multisample arrays is: width x height x layers x samples.

    6) Is the READ_PIXELS query useful, should we replace it with
    READ_PIXELS_FORMAT and READ_PIXELS_TYPE, or have all three of them?

    RESOLVED. The READ_PIXELS_FORMAT and READ_PIXELS_TYPE queries have been
    added. READ_PIXELS still has value because an implementation may want
    to be able to report a caveat on the performance or lack of support.

    7) There some <pnames> which it makes no sense to be qualified by
    a per-format/target scope, how should we handle them? 
    e.g. MAX_WIDTH and MAX_HEIGHT might be the same for all formats.
    e.g. properties like AUTO_GENERATE_MIPMAP and MANUAL_GENERATE_MIPMAP might
     depend only on the GL version.

    DISCUSSION:
    A) Just use this entry point as is, if there are no per-format or
    target differences, it is perfectly acceptable to have the implementation
    return the same information for all valid parameters. This does
    allow implementations to report caveats that may exist for some
    formats but not others, even though all formats/targets may be supported.
    B) Introduce new entry point(s) which can report on some general 
    properties. 

    RESOLVED: Option A, just the one entry point. It doesn't hurt to
    give the implementation the ability to report more information.

    8) In GL 4.2 MAX_TEXTURE_3D_SIZE is 2048 (2^11) so the 
    MAX_COMBINED_DIMENSIONS could be as high as 2^11*2^11*2^11 = 2^33. 
    The MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE is 16384 (2^14) and MAX_ARRAY_TEXTURE_LAYERS is 
    2048 (2^11) so the MAX_COMBINED_DIMENSIONS could be 2^14*2^14*2^11 
    = 2^39. Thus it is possible for the combined dimensions to exceed 
    32-bits. What should be reported in cases like this?

    DISCUSSION: If the max combined size is great than 2^32, the resource
    could take at least 2^32 bytes or 4GB of memory. While it is currently
    unlikely that implementation would actually support resources of this 
    size, it is plausible that within a few years it would be possible to 
    exceed this with a single allocation. Possible alternatives:
    A) Saturate the reported value at a max of 2^31 (since <pname> is GLint).
    B) Add a 64-bit version of the query.
    C) Add a HI and LO query to allow generatation of a 64-bit value.
    D) Remove this query.
    E) use other units? (MB)

    Some other APIs have a maximum allocation size which may be 128 MB or
    1/4 or the dedicated VRAM. Option A is not very appealing since it
    limits the usefulness of the query when it is most needed. No interest
    in Option C. Option E is undesireable since it is too granular for
    lower-dimensioned resources. General consensus was either option B or D.

    RESOLVED: Option B is specified as it is expected that is query will
    be useful.

    9) Is a MULTISAMPLE query useful?

    RESOLVED: No. The same information can be obtained by querying if
    NUM_SAMPLE_COUNTS and checking if it is greater than zero.

   10) Is TEXTURE_SHADOW useful?

    RESOLVED: Yes. While DEPTH_COMPONENTS tells you if the texture has depth
    in it, some implementations may have caveats to report for shadow lookups.
    For example there may be caveats that depend on the depth size, or some
    hardware may not be able to do non-shadowed look ups and must emulate it
    in the shader. Additionally some versions of the API do not support
    shadow samplers.

   11) Do we need a list of interactions with all extensions?
   
    DISCUSSION: All pnames will always be supported, but return false/not-
    supported. Interactions with specific extensions and pnames will be
    noted in the interactions section.

   12) We have a way to query the component sizes and types, should we have
    a way to query the component orderings?

    RESOLVED. No. It is unclear what value this would add, and an
    implementation could already choose to expose this via the 
    TEXTURE_IMAGE_FORMAT and TEXTURE_IMAGE_TYPE queries.

   13) What does the value returned for the MAX_COMBINED_DIMENSIONS
    actually mean?  Does this mean that if you try to create a texture
    with more samples or texels than this it is guaranteed to fail
    (possibly with OUT_OF_MEMORY)? Or is it just a recommendation that
    says it might fail?

    RESOLVED. This is a recommendation for applications. There are 
    system-dependant reasons why allocations larger than this size may
    result in failures even if there might appear to be sufficient memory
    available when queried via some other means. At the same time, some
    systems may not have a single hard-limit on the allocation size and
    it may be a combination of hardware and/or software limitations.
    This value also does not a guarantee that allocations smaller than
    this will succeed because it does not factor in the current available
    memory. Applications should be able to reliably allocate resources
    that fall under this limit, providing there is sufficient memory
    available at the time of the allocation.

   14) Can we add some queries for various forms of buffer support, for
    example vertex attributes, element arrays or transform feedback? 
    Some implementations may have caveats they could report for some
    formats.

    RESOLVED: Deferred. While this is interesting, it is too late for
    this version. It is also unclear if we could use the current
    entry points which are more targetted at textures and renderbuffers
    and keyed off an <internalformat>.  We don't typically use an
    internalformat for buffers.

   15) Should we have separate values for FILTER, such as TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER
    and TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER?

    RESOLVED: No. The FITLER query is more about whether or not multi-texel
    filtering is directly supported. We don't expect implmentations to
    be able to support it for MIN filters but not for MAG, or vice versa.
