VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorHeapFeaturesEXT

Structure describing support for descriptor heaps

The VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorHeapFeaturesEXT structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorHeapFeaturesEXT {
    VkStructureType sType;
    void* pNext;
    VkBool32 descriptorHeap;
    VkBool32 descriptorHeapCaptureReplay;
} VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorHeapFeaturesEXT;
  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
  • descriptorHeap specifies whether descriptor heaps can be used.
  • descriptorHeapCaptureReplay specifies whether heap descriptors can be captured and replayed.

If the VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorHeapFeaturesEXT 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 VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorHeapFeaturesEXT, 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)

VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorHeapFeaturesEXT-sType-sType

sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR_HEAP_FEATURES_EXT
