vkGetPipelineExecutableInternalRepresentationsKHR

Each pipeline executable may have one or more text or binary internal representations associated with it which are generated as part of the compile process. These may include the final shader assembly, a binary form of the compiled shader, or the shader compiler’s internal representation at any number of intermediate compile steps. To query the internal representations associated with a pipeline executable, call:

VkResult vkGetPipelineExecutableInternalRepresentationsKHR(
    VkDevice                        device,
    const VkPipelineExecutableInfoKHR*  pExecutableInfo,
    uint32_t* pInternalRepresentationCount,
    VkPipelineExecutableInternalRepresentationKHR* pInternalRepresentations);

• device is the device that created the pipeline.
• pExecutableInfo describes the pipeline executable being queried.
• pInternalRepresentationCount is a pointer to an integer related to the number of internal representations available or queried, as described below.
• pInternalRepresentations is either NULL or a pointer to an array of VkPipelineExecutableInternalRepresentationKHR structures.

If pInternalRepresentations is NULL, then the number of internal representations associated with the pipeline executable is returned in pInternalRepresentationCount. Otherwise, pInternalRepresentationCount must point to a variable set by the application to the number of elements in the pInternalRepresentations array, and on return the variable is overwritten with the number of structures actually written to pInternalRepresentations. If pInternalRepresentationCount is less than the number of internal representations associated with the pipeline executable, at most pInternalRepresentationCount structures will be written, and VK_INCOMPLETE will be returned instead of VK_SUCCESS, to indicate that not all the available representations were returned.

While the details of the internal representations remain implementation-dependent, the implementation should order the internal representations in the order in which they occur in the compiled pipeline with the final shader assembly (if any) last.
