## Description

This extension is based on the `VK_EXT_vertex_attribute_divisor` extension. The only difference is the new property `supportsNonZeroFirstInstance`, which indicates support for non-zero values in `firstInstance`. This allows the extension to be supported on implementations that have traditionally only supported OpenGL ES.

## New Structures

- VkVertexInputBindingDivisorDescriptionKHR

- Extending VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, VkDeviceCreateInfo:

  - VkPhysicalDeviceVertexAttributeDivisorFeaturesKHR

- Extending VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2:

  - VkPhysicalDeviceVertexAttributeDivisorPropertiesKHR

- Extending VkPipelineVertexInputStateCreateInfo:

  - VkPipelineVertexInputDivisorStateCreateInfoKHR

## New Enum Constants

- `VK_KHR_VERTEX_ATTRIBUTE_DIVISOR_EXTENSION_NAME`

- `VK_KHR_VERTEX_ATTRIBUTE_DIVISOR_SPEC_VERSION`

- Extending VkStructureType:

  - VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VERTEX_ATTRIBUTE_DIVISOR_FEATURES_KHR

  - VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VERTEX_ATTRIBUTE_DIVISOR_PROPERTIES_KHR

  - VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_VERTEX_INPUT_DIVISOR_STATE_CREATE_INFO_KHR

## Promotion to Vulkan 1.4

Functionality in this extension is included in core Vulkan 1.4 with the KHR suffix omitted. The original type, enum, and command names are still available as aliases of the core functionality.

## Version History

- Revision 1, 2023-09-20 (Shahbaz Youssefi)
