### Description

This extension adds more expressive alignment requirements for uniform and storage texel buffers. Some implementations have single texel alignment requirements that can’t be expressed via VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::`minTexelBufferOffsetAlignment`.

### New Structures

- Extending VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, VkDeviceCreateInfo:

  - VkPhysicalDeviceTexelBufferAlignmentFeaturesEXT

- Extending VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2:

  - VkPhysicalDeviceTexelBufferAlignmentPropertiesEXT

### New Enum Constants

- `VK_EXT_TEXEL_BUFFER_ALIGNMENT_EXTENSION_NAME`

- `VK_EXT_TEXEL_BUFFER_ALIGNMENT_SPEC_VERSION`

- Extending VkStructureType:

  - `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_TEXEL_BUFFER_ALIGNMENT_FEATURES_EXT`

  - `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_TEXEL_BUFFER_ALIGNMENT_PROPERTIES_EXT`

### Version History

- Revision 1, 2019-06-06 (Jeff Bolz)

  - Initial draft
