C Specification

With VK_EXT_device_generated_commands, to retrieve the memory size and alignment requirements of a particular execution state call:

// Provided by VK_EXT_device_generated_commands
void vkGetGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsEXT(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    const VkGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsInfoEXT* pInfo,
    VkMemoryRequirements2*                      pMemoryRequirements);

Parameters

  • device is the logical device that owns the buffer.

  • pInfo is a pointer to a VkGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsInfoEXT structure containing parameters required for the memory requirements query.

  • pMemoryRequirements is a pointer to a VkMemoryRequirements2 structure in which the memory requirements of the buffer object are returned.

Description

If the size returned is zero, the preprocessing step can be skipped for this layout.

Valid Usage (Implicit)
  • VUID-vkGetGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsEXT-device-parameter
    device must be a valid VkDevice handle

  • VUID-vkGetGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsEXT-pInfo-parameter
    pInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsInfoEXT structure

  • VUID-vkGetGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsEXT-pMemoryRequirements-parameter
    pMemoryRequirements must be a valid pointer to a VkMemoryRequirements2 structure
