VkGeneratedCommandsInfoEXT

The VkGeneratedCommandsInfoEXT is defined as:

typedef struct VkGeneratedCommandsInfoEXT {
    VkStructureType sType;
    const void* pNext;
    VkShaderStageFlags shaderStages;
    VkIndirectExecutionSetEXT indirectExecutionSet;
    VkIndirectCommandsLayoutEXT indirectCommandsLayout;
    VkDeviceAddress indirectAddress;
    VkDeviceSize indirectAddressSize;
    VkDeviceAddress preprocessAddress;
    VkDeviceSize preprocessSize;
    uint32_t maxSequenceCount;
    VkDeviceAddress sequenceCountAddress;
    uint32_t maxDrawCount;
} VkGeneratedCommandsInfoEXT;

• sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
• pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
• shaderStages is the mask of shader stages used by the commands.
• indirectExecutionSet is the indirect execution set to be used for binding shaders.
• indirectCommandsLayout is the VkIndirectCommandsLayoutEXT that specifies the command sequence data.
• indirectAddress is an address that holds the indirect buffer data.
• indirectAddressSize is the size in bytes of indirect buffer data starting at indirectAddress.
• preprocessAddress specifies a physical address of the VkBuffer used for preprocessing the input data for execution. If this structure is used with vkCmdExecuteGeneratedCommandsEXT with its isPreprocessed set to VK_TRUE, then the preprocessing step is skipped but data in this address may still be modified. The contents and the layout of this address are opaque to applications and must not be modified outside functions related to device-generated commands or copied to another buffer for reuse.
• preprocessSize is the maximum byte size within preprocessAddress that is available for preprocessing.
• maxSequenceCount is used to determine the number of sequences to execute.
• sequenceCountAddress specifies an optional physical address of a single uint32_t value containing the requested number of sequences to execute.
• maxDrawCount is the maximum number of indirect draws that can be executed by any COUNT-type multi-draw indirect tokens. The draw count in the indirect buffer is clamped to this value for these token types.

If sequenceCountAddress is not NULL, then maxSequenceCount is the maximum number of sequences that can be executed. The actual number is min(maxSequenceCount, *sequenceCountAddress). If sequenceCountAddress is NULL, then maxSequenceCount is the exact number of sequences to execute.

If the action command token for the layout is not a COUNT-type multi-draw indirect token, maxDrawCount is ignored.
