VkPhysicalDeviceCommandBufferInheritanceFeaturesNV

Structure describing whether the command buffer inheritance feature is supported by an implementation

The VkPhysicalDeviceCommandBufferInheritanceFeaturesNV structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceCommandBufferInheritanceFeaturesNV {
    VkStructureType sType;
    void* pNext;
    VkBool32 commandBufferInheritance;
} VkPhysicalDeviceCommandBufferInheritanceFeaturesNV;

This structure describes the following feature:

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
  • commandBufferInheritance indicates that command buffers executed in a queue inherit graphics and compute state from the previously executed command buffer in that queue.

If the VkPhysicalDeviceCommandBufferInheritanceFeaturesNV structure is included in the pNext chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. If the application wishes to use a VkDevice with any features described by VkPhysicalDeviceCommandBufferInheritanceFeaturesNV, it must add an instance of the structure, with the desired feature members set to VK_TRUE, to the pNext chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo when creating the VkDevice.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_COMMAND_BUFFER_INHERITANCE_FEATURES_NV
