vkCreateSemaphore

Create a new queue semaphore object

To create a semaphore, call:

VkResult vkCreateSemaphore(
    VkDevice device,
    const VkSemaphoreCreateInfo* pCreateInfo,
    const VkAllocationCallbacks* pAllocator,
    VkSemaphore* pSemaphore);
  • device is the logical device that creates the semaphore.
  • pCreateInfo is a pointer to a VkSemaphoreCreateInfo structure containing information about how the semaphore is to be created.
  • pAllocator controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.
  • pSemaphore is a pointer to a handle in which the resulting semaphore object is returned.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-vkCreateSemaphore-device-parameter

device must be a valid VkDevice handle

VUID-vkCreateSemaphore-pCreateInfo-parameter

pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkSemaphoreCreateInfo structure

VUID-vkCreateSemaphore-pAllocator-parameter

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

VUID-vkCreateSemaphore-pSemaphore-parameter

pSemaphore must be a valid pointer to a VkSemaphore handle
