C Specification

The VkPhysicalDevicePipelineLibraryGroupHandlesFeaturesEXT structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_EXT_pipeline_library_group_handles
typedef struct VkPhysicalDevicePipelineLibraryGroupHandlesFeaturesEXT {
    VkStructureType    sType;
    void*              pNext;
    VkBool32           pipelineLibraryGroupHandles;
} VkPhysicalDevicePipelineLibraryGroupHandlesFeaturesEXT;

Members

This structure describes the following features:

  • pipelineLibraryGroupHandles indicates whether the implementation supports querying group handles directly from a ray tracing pipeline library, and guarantees bitwise identical group handles for such libraries when linked into other pipelines.

Description

If the VkPhysicalDevicePipelineLibraryGroupHandlesFeaturesEXT structure is included in the pNext chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. If the application wishes to use a VkDevice with any features described by VkPhysicalDevicePipelineLibraryGroupHandlesFeaturesEXT, it must add an instance of the structure, with the desired feature members set to VK_TRUE, to the pNext chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo when creating the VkDevice.

Valid Usage (Implicit)
  • VUID-VkPhysicalDevicePipelineLibraryGroupHandlesFeaturesEXT-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_PIPELINE_LIBRARY_GROUP_HANDLES_FEATURES_EXT
