　　VK_EXT_descriptor_indexing

　　This extension adds several small features which together enable applications to create large descriptor sets containing substantially all of their resources and selecting amongst those resources with dynamic (non-uniform) indexes in the shader.

　　VK_KHR_get_display_properties2

　　This extension provides new entry points to query device display properties and capabilities in a way that can be easily extended by other extensions, without introducing any further entry points.

　　VK_KHR_8bit_storage

　　This extension allows use of 8-bit types in uniform and storage buffers and push constant blocks.

　　VK_KHR_draw_indirect_count

　　This extension allows an application to source the number of draw calls for indirect draw calls from a buffer.

　　VK_KHR_create_renderpass2

　　This extension provides a new entry point to create render passes in a way that can be easily extended by other extensions through the substructures of render pass creation.

　　EXT_vertex_attribute_divisor

　　This extension allows instance-rate vertex attributes to be repeated for certain number of instances instead of advancing for every instance when instanced rendering is enabled.
