VkBufferUsageFlagBits2KHR

Bitmask controlling how a pipeline is created

Bits which can be set in VkBufferUsageFlags2CreateInfoKHR::usage, specifying usage behavior of a buffer, are:

typedef enum VkBufferUsageFlagBits2KHR {

  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_TRANSFER_SRC_BIT_KHR specifies that the buffer can be used as the source of a transfer command (see the definition of VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_TRANSFER_BIT).
  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_TRANSFER_DST_BIT_KHR specifies that the buffer can be used as the destination of a transfer command.
  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER_BIT_KHR specifies that the buffer can be used to create a VkBufferView suitable for occupying a VkDescriptorSet slot of type VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER.
  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_STORAGE_TEXEL_BUFFER_BIT_KHR specifies that the buffer can be used to create a VkBufferView suitable for occupying a VkDescriptorSet slot of type VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_TEXEL_BUFFER.
  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_UNIFORM_BUFFER_BIT_KHR specifies that the buffer can be used in a VkDescriptorBufferInfo suitable for occupying a VkDescriptorSet slot either of type VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_BUFFER or VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_BUFFER_DYNAMIC.
  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_STORAGE_BUFFER_BIT_KHR specifies that the buffer can be used in a VkDescriptorBufferInfo suitable for occupying a VkDescriptorSet slot either of type VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_BUFFER or VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_BUFFER_DYNAMIC.
  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_INDEX_BUFFER_BIT_KHR specifies that the buffer is suitable for passing as the buffer parameter to vkCmdBindIndexBuffer2KHR and vkCmdBindIndexBuffer.
  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_VERTEX_BUFFER_BIT_KHR specifies that the buffer is suitable for passing as an element of the pBuffers array to vkCmdBindVertexBuffers.
  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_INDIRECT_BUFFER_BIT_KHR specifies that the buffer is suitable for passing as the buffer parameter to vkCmdDrawIndirect, vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect, vkCmdDrawMeshTasksIndirectNV, vkCmdDrawMeshTasksIndirectCountNV, vkCmdDrawMeshTasksIndirectEXT, vkCmdDrawMeshTasksIndirectCountEXT, vkCmdDrawClusterIndirectHUAWEI, or vkCmdDispatchIndirect. It is also suitable for passing as the buffer member of VkIndirectCommandsStreamNV, or sequencesCountBuffer or sequencesIndexBuffer or preprocessedBuffer member of VkGeneratedCommandsInfoNV
  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_CONDITIONAL_RENDERING_BIT_EXT specifies that the buffer is suitable for passing as the buffer parameter to vkCmdBeginConditionalRenderingEXT.
  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER_BIT_EXT specifies that the buffer is suitable for using for binding as a transform feedback buffer with vkCmdBindTransformFeedbackBuffersEXT.
  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_COUNTER_BUFFER_BIT_EXT specifies that the buffer is suitable for using as a counter buffer with vkCmdBeginTransformFeedbackEXT and vkCmdEndTransformFeedbackEXT.
  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_SAMPLER_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT specifies that the buffer is suitable to contain sampler and combined image sampler descriptors when bound as a descriptor buffer. Buffers containing combined image sampler descriptors must also specify VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT.
  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT specifies that the buffer is suitable to contain resource descriptors when bound as a descriptor buffer.
  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_PUSH_DESCRIPTORS_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT specifies that the buffer, when bound, can be used by the implementation to support push descriptors when using descriptor buffers.
  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_RAY_TRACING_BIT_NV specifies that the buffer is suitable for use in vkCmdTraceRaysNV.
  • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_2_SHADER_BINDING_TABLE_BIT_KHR specifies that the buffer is suitable for use as a Shader Binding Table.
