## Description

This extension allows users to request robustness on a per-pipeline stage basis.

As `robustBufferAccess` and other robustness features may have an adverse effect on performance, this extension is designed to allow users to request robust behavior only where it may be needed.

## New Structures

- Extending VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo, VkComputePipelineCreateInfo, VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo, VkRayTracingPipelineCreateInfoKHR:

  - VkPipelineRobustnessCreateInfoEXT

- Extending VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, VkDeviceCreateInfo:

  - VkPhysicalDevicePipelineRobustnessFeaturesEXT

- Extending VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2:

  - VkPhysicalDevicePipelineRobustnessPropertiesEXT

## New Enums

- VkPipelineRobustnessBufferBehaviorEXT

- VkPipelineRobustnessImageBehaviorEXT

## New Enum Constants

- `VK_EXT_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_EXTENSION_NAME`

- `VK_EXT_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_SPEC_VERSION`

- Extending VkStructureType:

  - `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_FEATURES_EXT`

  - `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_PROPERTIES_EXT`

  - `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_CREATE_INFO_EXT`

## Version History

- Revision 1, 2022-07-12 (Jarred Davies)
