VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesEXT

Structure describing the device-generated compute features that can be supported by an implementation

The VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesEXT structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesEXT {
    VkStructureType sType;
    void* pNext;
    VkBool32 deviceGeneratedCommands;
    VkBool32 dynamicGeneratedPipelineLayout;
} VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesEXT;

This structure describes the following features:

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
  • deviceGeneratedCommands indicates whether the implementation supports functionality to generate commands on the device.
  • dynamicGeneratedPipelineLayout indicates the implementation allows the pipelineLayout member of VkIndirectCommandsLayoutCreateInfoEXT to be VK_NULL_HANDLE and VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo can be chained off those structures' pNext instead.

If the VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesEXT 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. VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesEXT can also be used in the pNext chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo to selectively enable these features.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesEXT-sType-sType

sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_DEVICE_GENERATED_COMMANDS_FEATURES_EXT
