C Specification

The definition of VkDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackDataEXT is:

// Provided by VK_EXT_debug_utils
typedef struct VkDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackDataEXT {
    VkStructureType                              sType;
    const void*                                  pNext;
    VkDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackDataFlagsEXT    flags;
    const char*                                  pMessageIdName;
    int32_t                                      messageIdNumber;
    const char*                                  pMessage;
    uint32_t                                     queueLabelCount;
    const VkDebugUtilsLabelEXT*                  pQueueLabels;
    uint32_t                                     cmdBufLabelCount;
    const VkDebugUtilsLabelEXT*                  pCmdBufLabels;
    uint32_t                                     objectCount;
    const VkDebugUtilsObjectNameInfoEXT*         pObjects;
} VkDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackDataEXT;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

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

  • flags is 0 and is reserved for future use.

  • pMessageIdName is a null-terminated string that identifies the particular message ID that is associated with the provided message. If the message corresponds to a validation layer message, then this string may contain the portion of the Vulkan specification that is believed to have been violated.

  • messageIdNumber is the ID number of the triggering message. If the message corresponds to a validation layer message, then this number is related to the internal number associated with the message being triggered.

  • pMessage is a null-terminated string detailing the trigger conditions.

  • queueLabelCount is a count of items contained in the pQueueLabels array.

  • pQueueLabels is NULL or a pointer to an array of VkDebugUtilsLabelEXT active in the current VkQueue at the time the callback was triggered. Refer to Queue Labels for more information.

  • cmdBufLabelCount is a count of items contained in the pCmdBufLabels array.

  • pCmdBufLabels is NULL or a pointer to an array of VkDebugUtilsLabelEXT active in the current VkCommandBuffer at the time the callback was triggered. Refer to Command Buffer Labels for more information.

  • objectCount is a count of items contained in the pObjects array.

  • pObjects is a pointer to an array of VkDebugUtilsObjectNameInfoEXT objects related to the detected issue. The array is roughly in order or importance, but the 0th element is always guaranteed to be the most important object for this message.

Description

Note

This structure should only be considered valid during the lifetime of the triggered callback.

Since adding queue and command buffer labels behaves like pushing and popping onto a stack, the order of both pQueueLabels and pCmdBufLabels is based on the order the labels were defined. The result is that the first label in either pQueueLabels or pCmdBufLabels will be the first defined (and therefore the oldest) while the last label in each list will be the most recent.

Note

pQueueLabels will only be non-NULL if one of the objects in pObjects can be related directly to a defined VkQueue which has had one or more labels associated with it.

Likewise, pCmdBufLabels will only be non-NULL if one of the objects in pObjects can be related directly to a defined VkCommandBuffer which has had one or more labels associated with it. Additionally, while command buffer labels allow for beginning and ending across different command buffers, the debug messaging framework cannot guarantee that labels in pCmdBufLables will contain those defined outside of the associated command buffer. This is partially due to the fact that the association of one command buffer with another may not have been defined at the time the debug message is triggered.

Valid Usage (Implicit)
  • VUID-VkDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackDataEXT-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DEBUG_UTILS_MESSENGER_CALLBACK_DATA_EXT

  • VUID-VkDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackDataEXT-pNext-pNext
    pNext must be NULL

  • VUID-VkDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackDataEXT-flags-zerobitmask
    flags must be 0

  • VUID-VkDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackDataEXT-pMessageIdName-parameter
    If pMessageIdName is not NULL, pMessageIdName must be a null-terminated UTF-8 string

  • VUID-VkDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackDataEXT-pMessage-parameter
    pMessage must be a null-terminated UTF-8 string

  • VUID-VkDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackDataEXT-pQueueLabels-parameter
    If queueLabelCount is not 0, pQueueLabels must be a valid pointer to an array of queueLabelCount valid VkDebugUtilsLabelEXT structures

  • VUID-VkDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackDataEXT-pCmdBufLabels-parameter
    If cmdBufLabelCount is not 0, pCmdBufLabels must be a valid pointer to an array of cmdBufLabelCount valid VkDebugUtilsLabelEXT structures

  • VUID-VkDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackDataEXT-pObjects-parameter
    If objectCount is not 0, pObjects must be a valid pointer to an array of objectCount valid VkDebugUtilsObjectNameInfoEXT structures
