C Specification

Indirect command layouts for VK_EXT_device_generated_commands are created by:

// Provided by VK_EXT_device_generated_commands
VkResult vkCreateIndirectCommandsLayoutEXT(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    const VkIndirectCommandsLayoutCreateInfoEXT* pCreateInfo,
    const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
    VkIndirectCommandsLayoutEXT*                pIndirectCommandsLayout);

Parameters

  • device is the logical device that creates the indirect command layout.

  • pCreateInfo is a pointer to a VkIndirectCommandsLayoutCreateInfoEXT structure containing parameters affecting creation of the indirect command layout.

  • pAllocator controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

  • pIndirectCommandsLayout is a pointer to a VkIndirectCommandsLayoutEXT handle in which the resulting indirect command layout is returned.

Description

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

  • VUID-vkCreateIndirectCommandsLayoutEXT-pCreateInfo-parameter
    pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkIndirectCommandsLayoutCreateInfoEXT structure

  • VUID-vkCreateIndirectCommandsLayoutEXT-pAllocator-parameter
    If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure

  • VUID-vkCreateIndirectCommandsLayoutEXT-pIndirectCommandsLayout-parameter
    pIndirectCommandsLayout must be a valid pointer to a VkIndirectCommandsLayoutEXT handle

Return Codes
On success, this command returns
  • VK_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns
  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY
