VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance6FeaturesKHR

The VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance6FeaturesKHR structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance6FeaturesKHR {
    VkStructureType sType;
    void* pNext;
    VkBool32 maintenance6;
} VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance6FeaturesKHR;

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.
• maintenance6 indicates that the implementation supports the following:
  • VK_NULL_HANDLE can be used when binding an index buffer
  • VkBindMemoryStatusKHR can be included in the pNext chain of the VkBindBufferMemoryInfo and VkBindImageMemoryInfo structures, enabling applications to retrieve VkResult values for individual memory binding operations.
  • VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance6PropertiesKHR::blockTexelViewCompatibleMultipleLayers property to indicate that the implementation supports creating image views with VK_IMAGE_CREATE_BLOCK_TEXEL_VIEW_COMPATIBLE_BIT where the layerCount member of subresourceRange is greater than 1.
  • VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance6PropertiesKHR::maxCombinedImageSamplerDescriptorCount property which indicates the maximum descriptor size required for any format that requires a sampler Y′C_BC_R conversion supported by the implementation.
  • A VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance6PropertiesKHR::fragmentShadingRateClampCombinerInputs property which indicates whether the implementation clamps the inputs to fragment shading rate combiner operations.

If the VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance6FeaturesKHR 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. VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance6FeaturesKHR can also be used in the pNext chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo to selectively enable these features.
