VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK

Structure specifying parameters of a newly created macOS surface object

The VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK {
    VkStructureType sType;
    const void* pNext;
    VkMacOSSurfaceCreateFlagsMVK flags;
    const void* pView;
} VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK;
  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
  • flags is reserved for future use.
  • pView is a reference to either a CAMetalLayer object or an NSView object.

Valid Usage

VUID-VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK-pView-04144

If pView is a CAMetalLayer object, it must be a valid CAMetalLayer

VUID-VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK-pView-01317

If pView is an NSView object, it must be a valid NSView, must be backed by a CALayer object of type CAMetalLayer, and vkCreateMacOSSurfaceMVK must be called on the main thread

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK-sType-sType

sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_MACOS_SURFACE_CREATE_INFO_MVK

VUID-VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK-pNext-pNext

pNext must be NULL

VUID-VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK-flags-zerobitmask

flags must be 0
