VkPhysicalDeviceProtectedMemoryFeatures

Structure describing protected memory features that can be supported by an implementation

The VkPhysicalDeviceProtectedMemoryFeatures structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceProtectedMemoryFeatures {
    VkStructureType sType;
    void* pNext;
    VkBool32 protectedMemory;
} VkPhysicalDeviceProtectedMemoryFeatures;

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.
  • protectedMemory specifies whether protected memory is supported.

If the VkPhysicalDeviceProtectedMemoryFeatures 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 VkPhysicalDeviceProtectedMemoryFeatures, 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-VkPhysicalDeviceProtectedMemoryFeatures-sType-sType

sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_PROTECTED_MEMORY_FEATURES
