VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesEXT(3)

Name

VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesEXT - Structure describing the device-generated compute features that can be supported by an implementation

C Specification

The VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesEXT structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_EXT_device_generated_commands
typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesEXT {
    VkStructureType    sType;
    void*              pNext;
    VkBool32           deviceGeneratedCommands;
    VkBool32           dynamicGeneratedPipelineLayout;
} VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesEXT;

Members

This structure describes the following features:

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

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

  • deviceGeneratedCommands indicates whether the implementation supports functionality to generate commands on the device.

  • dynamicGeneratedPipelineLayout indicates the implementation allows the pipelineLayout member of VkIndirectCommandsLayoutCreateInfoEXT to be VK_NULL_HANDLE and VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo can be chained off those structures' pNext instead.

Description

If the VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesEXT structure is included in the pNext chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. If the application wishes to use a VkDevice with any features described by VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesEXT, it must add an instance of the structure, with the desired feature members set to VK_TRUE, to the pNext chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo when creating the VkDevice.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesEXT-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_DEVICE_GENERATED_COMMANDS_FEATURES_EXT
