VkDebugUtilsObjectNameInfoEXT

The VkDebugUtilsObjectNameInfoEXT structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkDebugUtilsObjectNameInfoEXT {
    VkStructureType sType;
    const void* pNext;
    VkObjectType objectType;
    uint64_t objectHandle;
    const char* pObjectName;
} VkDebugUtilsObjectNameInfoEXT;

• sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
• pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
• objectType is a VkObjectType specifying the type of the object to be named.
• objectHandle is the object to be named.
• pObjectName is either NULL or a null-terminated UTF-8 string specifying the name to apply to objectHandle.

Applications may change the name associated with an object simply by calling vkSetDebugUtilsObjectNameEXT again with a new string. If pObjectName is either NULL or an empty string, then any previously set name is removed.

The graphicsPipelineLibrary feature allows the specification of pipelines without the creation of VkShaderModule objects beforehand. In order to continue to allow naming these shaders independently, VkDebugUtilsObjectNameInfoEXT can be included in the pNext chain of VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo, which associates a static name with that particular shader.
