vkCreateFramebuffer(3)

Name

vkCreateFramebuffer - Create a new framebuffer object

C Specification

To create a framebuffer, call:

This functionality is superseded by Vulkan Version 1.4. See Legacy Functionality for more information. 
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
VkResult vkCreateFramebuffer(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    const VkFramebufferCreateInfo*              pCreateInfo,
    const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
    VkFramebuffer*                              pFramebuffer);

Parameters

  • device is the logical device that creates the framebuffer.

  • pCreateInfo is a pointer to a VkFramebufferCreateInfo structure describing additional information about framebuffer creation.

  • pAllocator controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

  • pFramebuffer is a pointer to a VkFramebuffer handle in which the resulting framebuffer object is returned.

Description

Valid Usage

  • VUID-vkCreateFramebuffer-device-10002
    device must support at least one queue family with the VK_QUEUE_GRAPHICS_BIT capability

  • VUID-vkCreateFramebuffer-pCreateInfo-02777
    If pCreateInfo->flags does not include VK_FRAMEBUFFER_CREATE_IMAGELESS_BIT, and attachmentCount is not 0, each element of pCreateInfo->pAttachments must have been created on device

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-vkCreateFramebuffer-device-parameter
    device must be a valid VkDevice handle

  • VUID-vkCreateFramebuffer-pCreateInfo-parameter
    pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkFramebufferCreateInfo structure

  • VUID-vkCreateFramebuffer-pAllocator-parameter
    If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure

  • VUID-vkCreateFramebuffer-pFramebuffer-parameter
    pFramebuffer must be a valid pointer to a VkFramebuffer handle

  • VUID-vkCreateFramebuffer-device-queuecount
    The device must have been created with at least 1 queue

Return Codes
Success

  • VK_SUCCESS

Failure

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

  • VK_ERROR_UNKNOWN

  • VK_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILED
