vkCmdBindSamplerHeapEXT

To bind a sampler heap to a command buffer, call:

void vkCmdBindSamplerHeapEXT(
    VkCommandBuffer                   commandBuffer,
    const VkBindHeapInfoEXT*                            pBindInfo);

pub fn cmd_bind_sampler_heap_ext(
    command_buffer: vk::CommandBuffer,
    p_bind_info: *const vk::BindHeapInfoEXT,
);

• commandBuffer is the command buffer that the sampler heap will be bound to.
• pBindInfo is a VkBindHeapInfoEXT specifying the device address range used for the heap and any implementation reservations.

Addresses in the range defined by pBindInfo→heapRange are bound as the sampler heap. The application can access samplers and data through this heap anywhere except for the reserved range specified by pBindInfo→reservedRangeOffset. Addresses in the range [pBindInfo→reservedRangeOffset, pBindInfo→reservedRangeOffset + minSamplerHeapReservedRange), or in the range [pBindInfo→reservedRangeOffset, pBindInfo→reservedRangeOffset + minSamplerHeapReservedRangeWithEmbedded) if embedded samplers will be used, are reserved for the implementation and must not be accessed by the application at any time from when this command is recorded until all command buffers with that range bound (even invalid ones) have been reset or freed.

Shaders executed by commands recorded after this command can use the specified sampler heap to access resources. pBindInfo→heapRange.address will be available to shaders to access samplers and data through the SamplerHeapEXT BuiltIn or via shader bindings.

When vkCmdBindSamplerHeapEXT is recorded, it immediately invalidates all non-heap descriptor state. Similarly, recording any non-heap descriptor state commands immediately invalidates state set by this command.
