This is the third post of the OpenGL and Vulkan interoperability series, where I explain some EXT_external_objects and EXT_external_objects_fd use cases with examples taken by the Piglit tests I’ve written to test the extensions as part of my work for Igalia‘s graphics team.
We are going to see a slightly more complex case of Vulkan/GL interoperability where an image is allocated and filled using Vulkan and then it is displayed using OpenGL. This case is implemented in Piglit’s vk-image-display test for a 2D RGBA texture (which is one of the most commonly used texture types).
Remember that the code for the test and the Vulkan helper/framework functions as well as the interoperability functions is in tests/spec/ext_external_objects/ Piglit directory.
