VkExportMetalDeviceInfoEXT(3)

Name

VkExportMetalDeviceInfoEXT - Structure that identifies a VkDevice object and corresponding Metal MTLDevice object

C Specification

To export the Metal MTLDevice object underlying the VkPhysicalDevice associated with a VkDevice object, include a VkExportMetalDeviceInfoEXT structure in the pNext chain of the pMetalObjectsInfo parameter of a vkExportMetalObjectsEXT call.

The VkExportMetalDeviceInfoEXT structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_EXT_metal_objects
typedef struct VkExportMetalDeviceInfoEXT {
    VkStructureType    sType;
    const void*        pNext;
    MTLDevice_id       mtlDevice;
} VkExportMetalDeviceInfoEXT;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • mtlDevice is the Metal id<MTLDevice> object underlying the VkPhysicalDevice associated with the VkDevice object identified in the call. The implementation will return the MTLDevice in this member, or it will return NULL if no MTLDevice could be found underlying the VkPhysicalDevice object.

Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkExportMetalDeviceInfoEXT-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_EXPORT_METAL_DEVICE_INFO_EXT
