VkAttachmentReference2

The VkAttachmentReference2 structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkAttachmentReference2 {
    VkStructureType sType;
    const void* pNext;
    uint32_t attachment;
    VkImageLayout layout;
    VkImageAspectFlags aspectMask;
} VkAttachmentReference2;

or the equivalent

typedef VkAttachmentReference2 VkAttachmentReference2KHR;

• sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
• pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
• attachment is either an integer value identifying an attachment at the corresponding index in VkRenderPassCreateInfo2::pAttachments, or VK_ATTACHMENT_UNUSED to signify that this attachment is not used.
• layout is a VkImageLayout value specifying the layout the attachment uses during the subpass.
• aspectMask is a mask of which aspect(s) can be accessed within the specified subpass as an input attachment.

Parameters defined by this structure with the same name as those in VkAttachmentReference have the identical effect to those parameters.

aspectMask is ignored when this structure is used to describe anything other than an input attachment reference.

If the separateDepthStencilLayouts feature is enabled, and attachment has a depth/stencil format, layout can be set to a layout that only specifies the layout of the depth aspect.

If layout only specifies the layout of the depth aspect of the attachment, the layout of the stencil aspect is specified by the stencilLayout member of a VkAttachmentReferenceStencilLayout structure included in the pNext chain. Otherwise, layout describes the layout for all relevant image aspects.
