vkCreateDescriptorPool

Creates a descriptor pool object

To create a descriptor pool object, call:

VkResult vkCreateDescriptorPool(
    VkDevice device,
    const VkDescriptorPoolCreateInfo* pCreateInfo,
    const VkAllocationCallbacks* pAllocator,
    VkDescriptorPool* pDescriptorPool);
  • device is the logical device that creates the descriptor pool.
  • pCreateInfo is a pointer to a VkDescriptorPoolCreateInfo structure specifying the state of the descriptor pool object.
  • pAllocator controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.
  • pDescriptorPool is a pointer to a VkDescriptorPool handle in which the resulting descriptor pool object is returned.

The created descriptor pool is returned in pDescriptorPool.
