There is no "vk_icdGetLoaderICDInterfaceVersion" function. The correct name is "vk_icdNegotiateLoaderICDInterfaceVersion."

2017-08-10loader: Add new ICD search paths to loaderSlawomir Cygan
This change extends the functionality of searching for ICD JSONs by adding registry locations specific to given display adapter and software components associated with this display adapter. The exact locations in registry are queried using Windows public PnP Configuration Manager API[1]. This change is required, as previous ICD locations (constant path in "HKLM/Software") may be unreachable for drivers and their installers on Windows RS3[2]. Similar change is being made for OpenCL[2] [1]https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff549713.aspx [2]https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-ICD-Loader/pull/21
2017-06-29loader: Add validation for apiVersionMark Young
Add a check to determine if the API version being requested can be handled by the loader. If it can't, then we return incompatible driver. If we can, we continue along our merry way. An addendum is that we also bumped the Loader/ICD interface version. This was requested by Nvidia so that the ICDs know that we pay attention to the version in the loader. If they don't see the new Loader/ICD interface version, they will handle the failing on all non-1.0 API requests. Change-Id: Icb7dd45e754c9f6a6c8186198333bacc68077b93

2017-05-09loader: Update meta-layersMark Young
Use the meta-layer Manifest API version to check against each of its component layer API versions. This will force us to make sure each JSON file is properly updated in sync. Add a section to the LoaderAndLayerInterface markdown doc about the usage of meta-layers, and an example of how they look in a Manifest JSON file. Change-Id: I667cfd3013cbcf201c83935dc6f1c2bb937c7742

2016-09-20loader: More changes for gh181Mark Young
With Piers' fix, another path was broke because we still needed to intercept the call before it went to the ICD. Now, with his change and this change, all paths work. Also, clean up some code based on comments from Ian and Courtney reviews. Finally, update docs to indicate behavior of new loader 3 interface with ICDs.

2016-03-03misc: Remove lunarg_debug_marker extensionJon Ashburn
This device extensions was not completely supported in any layer. It had partial support (intercept) in draw_state and device_limits. This extension is being changed and has a formal proposal in Khronos as debug_marker_ext. Removing the existing extension since it is deprecated; once the debug_marker_ext gets registered by Khronos, layers might want to start using the ObjectTag/ObjectName commands to supplement error report messages in debug_report_ext. Since debug_report_ext might get changed as part of Khronos review, don't add it yet.
2016-03-02loader: Update documentation to remove editing comments.Jon Ashburn
Also better describe layer requirements for layers which creat new dispatchable objects.
