New pages for extension details

One thing that I always kinda thought was missing from the database was an easy way to pass extension details around. Esp. coverage numbers for platforms.

A common question I see in the Vulkan communities I’m active in is “how good is support for this extension”. And usually the answer is “go to the extension list at https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org and filter yourself”.

And while that is a way to get an answer to that question, not having an easy way to simply pass around a link that answers this questions has been bugging me for some time now. Having such a link would also make it possible to link to that from different documentation projects like the new Vulkan documentation site at https://docs.vulkan.org.

So I went on and added extension detail pages to my Vulkan Hardware database. Those are pages that display extension coverage for all platforms along with linkage to the device coverage listings and (if available) extension features and or properties:

Url: https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayextensiondetail?extension=VK_EXT_descriptor_indexing

Url: https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayextensiondetail?extension=VK_EXT_host_image_copy

Links to the extension detail pages have been added to the global extension listing. You can reach them by clicking on an extension name:

Url: https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/listextensions

Feedback

If you have any feedback on this new feature, or find a bug, feel free to open an issue at the github repository for the database.

I hope that these changes and additions make the database an even more useful tool for all you Vulkan developers out there 😊
