C Specification

The VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedSparseAddressSpaceFeaturesNV structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_NV_extended_sparse_address_space
typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedSparseAddressSpaceFeaturesNV {
    VkStructureType    sType;
    void*              pNext;
    VkBool32           extendedSparseAddressSpace;
} VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedSparseAddressSpaceFeaturesNV;

Members

This structure describes the following feature:

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • extendedSparseAddressSpace indicates that the implementation supports allowing certain usages of sparse memory resources to exceed VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::sparseAddressSpaceSize. See VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedSparseAddressSpacePropertiesNV.

Description

If the VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedSparseAddressSpaceFeaturesNV 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 VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedSparseAddressSpaceFeaturesNV, 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-VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedSparseAddressSpaceFeaturesNV-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_EXTENDED_SPARSE_ADDRESS_SPACE_FEATURES_NV
