vkCreatePipelineLayout

Creates a new pipeline layout object

To create a pipeline layout, call:

VkResult vkCreatePipelineLayout(
    VkDevice device,
    const VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo* pCreateInfo,
    const VkAllocationCallbacks* pAllocator,
    VkPipelineLayout* pPipelineLayout);
  • device is the logical device that creates the pipeline layout.
  • pCreateInfo is a pointer to a VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo structure specifying the state of the pipeline layout object.
  • pAllocator controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.
  • pPipelineLayout is a pointer to a VkPipelineLayout handle in which the resulting pipeline layout object is returned.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-vkCreatePipelineLayout-pCreateInfo-parameter

pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo structure

VUID-vkCreatePipelineLayout-pAllocator-parameter

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

VUID-vkCreatePipelineLayout-pPipelineLayout-parameter

pPipelineLayout must be a valid pointer to a VkPipelineLayout handle
