OpenGL 4.6 Wish list

OpenGL
1

  1. Extend Bindless Environment
    Adding extensions GL_NV_shader_buffer_load, GL_NV_vertex_buffer_unified_memory, GL_NV_uniform_buffer_unified_memory, GL_NV_bindless_multi_draw_indirect_count, GL_NV_bindless_multi_draw_indirect to
    OpenGL 4.6 or as ARB extension.

  2. Another way of setting OpenGL state set and rendering
    Adding functionality in GL_NV_command_list or familiar.

  3. 2D rendering
    Why not extend 3D rendering with 2D gpu accelerated rendering as in GL_NV_path_rendering?

  4. SPIR-V
    Adding support SPIR-V shaders in OpenGL will be wonderful.

  5. More powerful vertex shader and geometry shader
    Adding GL_AMD_vertex_shader_viewport_index GL_AMD_vertex_shader_layer to standard, GL_NV_geometry_shader_passthrough

  6. Extend stencil operands and capabilities
    As in GL_AMD_stencil_operation_extended and GL_AMD_shader_stencil_value_export

  7. 64-bit variables
    As in GL_AMD_gpu_shader_int64, GL_EXT_vertex_attrib_64bit

  8. Extend atomic operations
    As in GL_NV_shader_atomic_int64, GL_NV_shader_atomic_fp16_vector, GL_NV_shader_atomic_float64
