Vulkan depth test fails when depth buffer write is disabled and gl_FragDepth is updated in fragment shader

[Flyinghead]

System Setup Information:
-----------------------------------------

System Used: Intel NUC7i5BN
CPU SKU: i5
GPU SKU: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640
Processor Line: i5-7260U
Graphics Driver Version: 26.20.100.7212
Operating System: Windows 10 Home
OS Version: 10.0.17763
API: Vulkan
Occurs on non-Intel GPUs?: No (tested on NVidia, AMD, Mali, Adreno)

Steps to Reproduce:
-------------------------------

See sample code to reproduce the issue at https://github.com/flyinghead/PracticalVulkan

1. Disable depth buffer write
2. Set z coordinate of vertices in the vertex shader outside the [0,1] range
3. Update gl_FragDepth in the fragment shader to a value within [0,1]

Under these conditions, geometry isn't drawn.

Enabling depth buffer writes makes geometry appear.

Hello!

This is Sławomir from the graphics software engineering team. 

Thank you for your report!   Yes, you are right, there is a bug in handling FragDepth shader output if depthWrite state is disabled.

The issue was reproduced and the team is now working on a fix.

Hi Slawomir,

Thank you for this update. Obviously this is great news!

Thanks again
