Since that is dynamic state, we have to move ^ extra word? Users can actually set the write masks at pipeline creation time. For that reason, I think it's clearer to say that it "may be" dynamic state instead of saying that it "is" dynamic state. </blockquote><div> </div><div>Maybe? I guess it depends on whether you take "dynamic state" to mean "state the client set at runtime vs. set in the pipeline" or if you just consider it to mean the bucket of states that *may* be set at runtime. </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> > handle it late during command buffer builder.

I was only able to reproduce a 0.1% performance improvement with this patch.
