Description john01dav 2023-11-27 02:45:25 UTC

Description of problem: The packaged version of vulkan-validation-layers due to some undefined behavior gives false positive warnings to users that if not immediately recognized as false positives (which is hard to do) can cause huge time-wastage trying to fix a non-existant bug in one's program.

The fix is simply to upgrade this package to at least 1.3.261, which is already available in Rawhide. If you want to backport the fix, here it is: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/pull/6049


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.3.250.1


How reproducible: Very


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download this MCVE: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs/files/13404906/mcve.zip
2. Compile & Run it
3. Observe the validation errors printed to stderr/stdout, despite the program being correct

Actual results: Validation errors printed to stderr/stdout, despite the program being correct


Expected results: No validation errors are expected (verified on new version of vulkan-validation-layers)
