VkPipelineCacheCreateFlagBits

Bitmask specifying the behavior of the pipeline cache

Bits which can be set in VkPipelineCacheCreateInfo::flags, specifying behavior of the pipeline cache, are:

typedef enum VkPipelineCacheCreateFlagBits {

} VkPipelineCacheCreateFlagBits;
  • VK_PIPELINE_CACHE_CREATE_EXTERNALLY_SYNCHRONIZED_BIT specifies that all commands that modify the created VkPipelineCache will be externally synchronized. When set, the implementation may skip any unnecessary processing needed to support simultaneous modification from multiple threads where allowed.
  • VK_PIPELINE_CACHE_CREATE_INTERNALLY_SYNCHRONIZED_MERGE_BIT_KHR specifies that when the created VkPipelineCache is used as the dstCache parameter of vkMergePipelineCaches, it does not need to be externally synchronized. This flag is mutually exclusive with VK_PIPELINE_CACHE_CREATE_EXTERNALLY_SYNCHRONIZED_BIT.
