Function Prototype

vkCmdDebugMarkerBeginEXT

Open a command buffer marker region

A marker region can be opened by calling:

void vkCmdDebugMarkerBeginEXT(
    VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,
    const VkDebugMarkerMarkerInfoEXT* pMarkerInfo);
  • commandBuffer is the command buffer into which the command is recorded.
  • pMarkerInfo is a pointer to a VkDebugMarkerMarkerInfoEXT structure specifying the parameters of the marker region to open.

VUID-vkCmdDebugMarkerBeginEXT-None-10614

This command must not be recorded when per-tile execution model is enabled

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-vkCmdDebugMarkerBeginEXT-pMarkerInfo-parameter

pMarkerInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkDebugMarkerMarkerInfoEXT structure

VUID-vkCmdDebugMarkerBeginEXT-commandBuffer-cmdpool

The VkCommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must support VK_QUEUE_COMPUTE_BIT, VK_QUEUE_GRAPHICS_BIT, VK_QUEUE_OPTICAL_FLOW_BIT_NV, VK_QUEUE_TRANSFER_BIT, VK_QUEUE_VIDEO_DECODE_BIT_KHR, or VK_QUEUE_VIDEO_ENCODE_BIT_KHR operations
