Vulkan: optimize image layout transitions Removes dstAccessMask being redundantly set where `GetBasicLayoutAccessFlags()` sets the same bits. Additionally, removes setting HOST_WRITE_BIT and TRANSFER_WRITE_BIT as src access mask if new layout is SHADER_READ_ONLY_OPTIMAL. The correct src access mask will be set based on the previous layout. Additionally, specializes `GetBasicLayoutAccessFlags()` in `GetSrcLayoutAccessFlags()` and `GetDstLayoutAccessFlags()` where the access mask is set correctly (and optimally) based on whether the layout is the old or the new one. This removes a few unnecessary access masks from src (for WAR hazards), and adds a few missing access masks to dst (for RAW hazards), such as VK_ACCESS_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_READ_BIT necessary for blending.

The goal of ANGLE is to allow users of multiple operating systems to seamlessly run WebGL and other OpenGL ES content by translating OpenGL ES API calls to one of the hardware-supported APIs available for that platform. ANGLE currently provides translation from OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.0 to desktop OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Direct3D 9, and Direct3D 11. Support for translation from OpenGL ES to Vulkan is underway, and future plans include compute shader support (ES 3.1) and MacOS support.

ANGLE v1.0.772 was certified compliant by passing the ES 2.0.3 conformance tests in October 2011. ANGLE also provides an implementation of the EGL 1.4 specification.
ANGLE is used as the default WebGL backend for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox on Windows platforms. Chrome uses ANGLE for all graphics rendering on Windows, including the accelerated Canvas2D implementation and the Native Client sandbox environment.
Portions of the ANGLE shader compiler are used as a shader validator and translator by WebGL implementations across multiple platforms. It is used on Mac OS X, Linux, and in mobile variants of the browsers. Having one shader validator helps to ensure that a consistent set of GLSL ES shaders are accepted across browsers and platforms. The shader translator can be used to translate shaders to other shading languages, and to optionally apply shader modifications to work around bugs or quirks in the native graphics drivers. The translator targets Desktop GLSL, Direct3D HLSL, and even ESSL for native GLES2 platforms.
