Structures

VkImportMetalSharedEventInfoEXT

Structure that identifies a VkSemaphore or VkEvent object and corresponding Metal Shared Event object to use.

To import a Metal id<MTLSharedEvent> object to underlie a VkSemaphore or VkEvent object, include a VkImportMetalSharedEventInfoEXT structure in the pNext chain of the VkSemaphoreCreateInfo or VkEventCreateInfo structure in a vkCreateSemaphore or vkCreateEvent command, respectively.

The VkImportMetalSharedEventInfoEXT structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkImportMetalSharedEventInfoEXT {
    VkStructureType sType;
    const void* pNext;
    MTLSharedEvent_id mtlSharedEvent;
} VkImportMetalSharedEventInfoEXT;
  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
  • mtlSharedEvent is the Metal id<MTLSharedEvent> object that is to underlie the VkSemaphore or VkEvent.

If the pNext chain of the VkSemaphoreCreateInfo structure includes both VkImportMetalSharedEventInfoEXT and VkSemaphoreTypeCreateInfo, the signaledValue property of the imported id<MTLSharedEvent> object will be set to initialValue of VkSemaphoreTypeCreateInfo.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-VkImportMetalSharedEventInfoEXT-sType-sType

sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMPORT_METAL_SHARED_EVENT_INFO_EXT
