VkComputePipelineCreateInfo

The VkComputePipelineCreateInfo structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkComputePipelineCreateInfo {
    VkStructureType sType;
    const void* pNext;
    VkPipelineCreateFlags flags;
    VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo stage;
    VkPipelineLayout layout;
    VkPipeline basePipelineHandle;
    int32_t basePipelineIndex;
} VkComputePipelineCreateInfo;

• sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
• pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
• flags is a bitmask of VkPipelineCreateFlagBits specifying how the pipeline will be generated.
• stage is a VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo structure describing the compute shader.
• layout is the description of binding locations used by both the pipeline and descriptor sets used with the pipeline.
• basePipelineHandle is a pipeline to derive from.
• basePipelineIndex is an index into the pCreateInfos parameter to use as a pipeline to derive from.

The parameters basePipelineHandle and basePipelineIndex are described in more detail in Pipeline Derivatives.

If the pNext chain includes a VkPipelineCreateFlags2CreateInfo structure, VkPipelineCreateFlags2CreateInfo::flags from that structure is used instead of flags from this structure.
