vkCreateBufferView

Create a new buffer view object

To create a buffer view, call:

VkResult vkCreateBufferView(
    VkDevice device,
    const VkBufferViewCreateInfo* pCreateInfo,
    const VkAllocationCallbacks* pAllocator,
    VkBufferView* pView);
  • device is the logical device that creates the buffer view.
  • pCreateInfo is a pointer to a VkBufferViewCreateInfo structure containing parameters to be used to create the buffer view.
  • pAllocator controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.
  • pView is a pointer to a VkBufferView handle in which the resulting buffer view object is returned.

Valid Usage

VUID-vkCreateBufferView-device-09665

device must support at least one queue family with one of the VK_QUEUE_COMPUTE_BIT or VK_QUEUE_GRAPHICS_BIT capabilities

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-vkCreateBufferView-pCreateInfo-parameter

pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkBufferViewCreateInfo structure

VUID-vkCreateBufferView-pAllocator-parameter

If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure

VUID-vkCreateBufferView-pView-parameter

pView must be a valid pointer to a VkBufferView handle
