C Specification

The XrInstanceCreateInfo structure is defined as:

typedef struct XrInstanceCreateInfo {
    XrStructureType          type;
    const void*              next;
    XrInstanceCreateFlags    createFlags;
    XrApplicationInfo        applicationInfo;
    uint32_t                 enabledApiLayerCount;
    const char* const*       enabledApiLayerNames;
    uint32_t                 enabledExtensionCount;
    const char* const*       enabledExtensionNames;
} XrInstanceCreateInfo;

Members

Member Descriptions

  • type is the XrStructureType of this structure.

  • next is NULL or a pointer to the next structure in a structure chain. No such structures are defined in core OpenXR.

  • createFlags is a bitmask of XrInstanceCreateFlags that identifies options that apply to the creation.

  • applicationInfo is an instance of XrApplicationInfo. This information helps runtimes recognize behavior inherent to classes of applications. XrApplicationInfo is defined in detail below.

  • enabledApiLayerCount is the number of global API layers to enable.

  • enabledApiLayerNames is a pointer to an array of enabledApiLayerCount strings containing the names of API layers to enable for the created instance. See the API Layers And Extensions section for further details.

  • enabledExtensionCount is the number of global extensions to enable.

  • enabledExtensionNames is a pointer to an array of enabledExtensionCount strings containing the names of extensions to enable.
