C Specification
Bits which can be set in VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR::flags,
specifying parameters of swapchain creation, are:
// Provided by VK_KHR_swapchain
typedef enum VkSwapchainCreateFlagBitsKHR {
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1 with VK_KHR_swapchain
VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_SPLIT_INSTANCE_BIND_REGIONS_BIT_KHR = 0x00000001,
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1 with VK_KHR_swapchain
VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_PROTECTED_BIT_KHR = 0x00000002,
// Provided by VK_KHR_swapchain_mutable_format
VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_MUTABLE_FORMAT_BIT_KHR = 0x00000004,
} VkSwapchainCreateFlagBitsKHR;Description
-
VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_SPLIT_INSTANCE_BIND_REGIONS_BIT_KHR specifies that images created from the swapchain (i.e. with the
swapchainmember of VkImageSwapchainCreateInfoKHR set to this swapchain’s handle) must use VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPLIT_INSTANCE_BIND_REGIONS_BIT. This flag is not supported in Vulkan SC https://registry.khronos.org/vulkansc/specs/1.0-extensions/html/vkspec.html#SCID-8. -
VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_PROTECTED_BIT_KHR specifies that images created from the swapchain are protected images.
-
VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_MUTABLE_FORMAT_BIT_KHR specifies that the images of the swapchain can be used to create a
VkImageViewwith a different format than what the swapchain was created with. The list of allowed image view formats is specified by adding a VkImageFormatListCreateInfo structure to thepNextchain of VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR. In addition, this flag also specifies that the swapchain can be created with usage flags that are not supported for the format the swapchain is created with but are supported for at least one of the allowed image view formats.
