VkRenderPassCreationControlEXT

A VkRenderPassCreationControlEXT structure can be included in the pNext chain of VkRenderPassCreateInfo2 or pNext chain of VkSubpassDescription2. The VkRenderPassCreationControlEXT structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkRenderPassCreationControlEXT {
    VkStructureType sType;
    const void* pNext;
    VkBool32 disallowMerging;
} VkRenderPassCreationControlEXT;

• sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
• pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
• disallowMerging is a boolean value indicating whether subpass merging will be disabled.

If a VkRenderPassCreationControlEXT structure is included in the pNext chain of VkRenderPassCreateInfo2 and its value of disallowMerging is VK_TRUE, the implementation will disable subpass merging for the entire render pass. If a VkRenderPassCreationControlEXT structure is included in the pNext chain of VkSubpassDescription2 and its value of disallowMerging is VK_TRUE, the implementation will disable merging the described subpass with previous subpasses in the render pass.
