C Specification

The VkImportSemaphoreSciSyncInfoNV structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_NV_external_sci_sync
typedef struct VkImportSemaphoreSciSyncInfoNV {
    VkStructureType                          sType;
    const void*                              pNext;
    VkSemaphore                              semaphore;
    VkExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeFlagBits    handleType;
    void*                                    handle;
} VkImportSemaphoreSciSyncInfoNV;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

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

  • semaphore is the semaphore into which the payload will be imported.

  • handleType specifies the type of handle.

  • handle is the external handle to import.

Description

The handle types supported by handleType are:

Table 1. Handle Types Supported by VkImportSemaphoreSciSyncInfoNV
Handle Type Transference Permanence Supported

VK_EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_HANDLE_TYPE_SCI_SYNC_OBJ_BIT_NV

Reference

Permanent
Valid Usage

  • VUID-VkImportSemaphoreSciSyncInfoNV-handleType-05126
    handleType must be a value included in the Handle Types Supported by VkImportSemaphoreSciSyncInfoNV table

  • VUID-VkImportSemaphoreSciSyncInfoNV-semaphore-05127
    semaphore must have been created with a VkSemaphoreType of VK_SEMAPHORE_TYPE_TIMELINE

  • VUID-VkImportSemaphoreSciSyncInfoNV-semaphore-05128
    semaphore must not be associated with any queue command that has not yet completed execution on that queue

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkImportSemaphoreSciSyncInfoNV-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMPORT_SEMAPHORE_SCI_SYNC_INFO_NV

  • VUID-VkImportSemaphoreSciSyncInfoNV-pNext-pNext
    pNext must be NULL

  • VUID-VkImportSemaphoreSciSyncInfoNV-semaphore-parameter
    semaphore must be a valid VkSemaphore handle

  • VUID-VkImportSemaphoreSciSyncInfoNV-handleType-parameter
    handleType must be a valid VkExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeFlagBits value

  • VUID-VkImportSemaphoreSciSyncInfoNV-handle-parameter
    handle must be a pointer value

Host Synchronization

  • Host access to semaphore must be externally synchronized
