C Specification

The information on a single fault is returned using the VkFaultData structure. The VkFaultData structure is defined as:

// Provided by VKSC_VERSION_1_0
typedef struct VkFaultData {
    VkStructureType    sType;
    void*              pNext;
    VkFaultLevel       faultLevel;
    VkFaultType        faultType;
} VkFaultData;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure that provides implementation-specific data on the fault.

  • faultLevel is a VkFaultLevel that provides the severity of the fault.

  • faultType is a VkFaultType that provides the type of the fault.

Description

To retrieve implementation-specific fault data, pNext can point to one or more implementation-defined fault structures or NULL to not retrieve implementation-specific data.

Valid Usage

  • VUID-VkFaultData-pNext-05019
    pNext must be NULL or a valid pointer to an implementation-specific structure

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkFaultData-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_FAULT_DATA
