vkCreateGraphicsPipelines
To create graphics pipelines, call:
VkResult vkCreateGraphicsPipelines(
VkDevice device,
VkPipelineCache pipelineCache,
uint32_t createInfoCount,
const VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo* pCreateInfos,
const VkAllocationCallbacks* pAllocator,
VkPipeline* pPipelines);
deviceis the logical device that creates the graphics pipelines.pipelineCacheis either VK_NULL_HANDLE, indicating that pipeline caching is disabled; or the handle of a valid pipeline cache object, in which case use of that cache is enabled for the duration of the command.createInfoCountis the length of thepCreateInfosandpPipelinesarrays.pCreateInfosis a pointer to an array of VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo structures.pAllocatorcontrols host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.pPipelinesis a pointer to an array of VkPipeline handles in which the resulting graphics pipeline objects are returned.
The VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo structure includes an array of VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo structures for each of the desired active shader stages, as well as creation information for all relevant fixed-function stages, and a pipeline layout.
Pipelines are created and returned as described for Multiple Pipeline Creation.
Valid Usage
VUID-vkCreateGraphicsPipelines-device-09662
device must support at least one queue family with the
VK_QUEUE_GRAPHICS_BIT capability
VUID-vkCreateGraphicsPipelines-flags-00720
If the flags member of any element of pCreateInfos contains
the VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_DERIVATIVE_BIT flag, and the
basePipelineIndex member of that same element is not -1,
basePipelineIndex must be less than the index into
pCreateInfos that corresponds to that element
VUID-vkCreateGraphicsPipelines-flags-00721
If the flags member of any element of pCreateInfos contains
the VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_DERIVATIVE_BIT flag, the base pipeline
must have been created with the
VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_ALLOW_DERIVATIVES_BIT flag set
VUID-vkCreateGraphicsPipelines-pipelineCache-02876
If pipelineCache was created with
VK_PIPELINE_CACHE_CREATE_EXTERNALLY_SYNCHRONIZED_BIT, host access
to pipelineCache must be
externally synchronized
VUID-vkCreateGraphicsPipelines-pNext-09616
If VkPipelineBinaryInfoKHR::binaryCount is not 0 for any
element of pCreateInfos, pipelineCache must be
VK_NULL_HANDLE
VUID-vkCreateGraphicsPipelines-pNext-09617
If a VkPipelineCreateFlags2CreateInfoKHR structure with the
VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_2_CAPTURE_DATA_BIT_KHR flag set is included in
the pNext chain of any element of pCreateInfos,
pipelineCache must be VK_NULL_HANDLE
VUID-vkCreateGraphicsPipelines-binaryCount-09620
If VkPipelineBinaryInfoKHR::binaryCount is not 0 for any
element of pCreateInfos,
VK_PIPELINE_CREATION_FEEDBACK_APPLICATION_PIPELINE_CACHE_HIT_BITmust not be set in the flags of that element
VUID-vkCreateGraphicsPipelines-binaryCount-09621
If VkPipelineBinaryInfoKHR::binaryCount is not 0 for any
element of pCreateInfos,
VK_PIPELINE_CREATION_FEEDBACK_BASE_PIPELINE_ACCELERATION_BIT must
not be set in the flags of that element
VUID-vkCreateGraphicsPipelines-binaryCount-09622
If VkPipelineBinaryInfoKHR::binaryCount is not 0 for any
element of pCreateInfos,
VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_FAIL_ON_PIPELINE_COMPILE_REQUIRED_BIT_EXT must
not be set in the flags of that element
An implicit cache may be provided by the implementation or a layer.
For this reason, it is still valid to set
VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_FAIL_ON_PIPELINE_COMPILE_REQUIRED_BIT on
flags for any element of pCreateInfos while passing
VK_NULL_HANDLE for pipelineCache.
Valid Usage (Implicit)
VUID-vkCreateGraphicsPipelines-device-parameter
device must be a valid VkDevice handle
VUID-vkCreateGraphicsPipelines-pipelineCache-parameter
If pipelineCache is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, pipelineCache must be a valid VkPipelineCache handle
VUID-vkCreateGraphicsPipelines-pCreateInfos-parameter
pCreateInfos must be a valid pointer to an array of createInfoCount valid VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo structures
VUID-vkCreateGraphicsPipelines-pAllocator-parameter
If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure
VUID-vkCreateGraphicsPipelines-pPipelines-parameter
pPipelines must be a valid pointer to an array of createInfoCount VkPipeline handles
VUID-vkCreateGraphicsPipelines-createInfoCount-arraylength
createInfoCount must be greater than 0
VUID-vkCreateGraphicsPipelines-pipelineCache-parent
If pipelineCache is a valid handle, it must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from device
