C Specification
Bits which can be set in
VkDebugUtilsMessengerCreateInfoEXT::messageType, specifying
event types which cause a debug messenger to call the callback, are:
// Provided by VK_EXT_debug_utils
typedef enum VkDebugUtilsMessageTypeFlagBitsEXT {
VK_DEBUG_UTILS_MESSAGE_TYPE_GENERAL_BIT_EXT = 0x00000001,
VK_DEBUG_UTILS_MESSAGE_TYPE_VALIDATION_BIT_EXT = 0x00000002,
VK_DEBUG_UTILS_MESSAGE_TYPE_PERFORMANCE_BIT_EXT = 0x00000004,
} VkDebugUtilsMessageTypeFlagBitsEXT;Description
-
VK_DEBUG_UTILS_MESSAGE_TYPE_GENERAL_BIT_EXT specifies that some general event has occurred. This is typically a non-specification, non-performance event.
-
VK_DEBUG_UTILS_MESSAGE_TYPE_VALIDATION_BIT_EXT specifies that something has occurred during validation against the Vulkan specification that may indicate invalid behavior.
-
VK_DEBUG_UTILS_MESSAGE_TYPE_PERFORMANCE_BIT_EXT specifies a potentially non-optimal use of Vulkan, e.g. using vkCmdClearColorImage when setting VkAttachmentDescription::
loadOpto VK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_CLEAR would have worked.
