VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance7FeaturesKHR

The VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance7FeaturesKHR structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance7FeaturesKHR {
    VkStructureType sType;
    void* pNext;
    VkBool32 maintenance7;
} VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance7FeaturesKHR;

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.
• maintenance7 indicates that the implementation supports the following:
  • The VK_RENDERING_CONTENTS_INLINE_BIT_KHR and VK_SUBPASS_CONTENTS_INLINE_AND_SECONDARY_COMMAND_BUFFERS_KHR flags can be used to record commands in render pass instances both inline and in secondary command buffers executed with vkCmdExecuteCommands for dynamic rendering and legacy render passes respectively.
  • Querying information regarding the underlying devices in environments where the Vulkan implementation is provided through layered implementations. This is done by chaining VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredApiPropertiesListKHR to VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2.
  • New limits which indicate the maximum total count of dynamic uniform buffers and dynamic storage buffers that can be included in a pipeline layout.
  • 32-bit timestamp queries must wrap on overflow
  • A property that indicates whether a fragment shading rate attachment can have a size that is too small to cover a specified render area.
  • A property that indicates support for writing to one aspect of a depth/stencil attachment without performing a read-modify-write operation on the other aspect

If the VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance7FeaturesKHR 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. VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance7FeaturesKHR can also be used in the pNext chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo to selectively enable these features.
