C Specification

To record an indexed indirect drawing command, call:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
void vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
    VkBuffer                                    buffer,
    VkDeviceSize                                offset,
    uint32_t                                    drawCount,
    uint32_t                                    stride);

Parameters

  • commandBuffer is the command buffer into which the command is recorded.

  • buffer is the buffer containing draw parameters.

  • offset is the byte offset into buffer where parameters begin.

  • drawCount is the number of draws to execute, and can be zero.

  • stride is the byte stride between successive sets of draw parameters.

Description

vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect behaves similarly to vkCmdDrawIndexed except that the parameters are read by the device from a buffer during execution. drawCount draws are executed by the command, with parameters taken from buffer starting at offset and increasing by stride bytes for each successive draw. The parameters of each draw are encoded in an array of VkDrawIndexedIndirectCommand structures. If drawCount is less than or equal to one, stride is ignored.

    If the bound graphics pipeline state was created with the VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_VERTEX_INPUT_EXT dynamic state enabled and the scalar width associated with a Location decorated Input variable in the Vertex Execution Model OpEntryPoint is 64-bit, then the corresponding VkVertexInputAttributeDescription2EXT::format must have a 64-bit component

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-None-09203
    If the bound graphics pipeline state was created with the VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_VERTEX_INPUT_EXT dynamic state enabled and VkVertexInputAttributeDescription2EXT::format has a 64-bit component, then all Input variables at the corresponding Location in the Vertex Execution Model OpEntryPoint must not use components that are not present in the format

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-None-04875
    If the bound graphics pipeline state was created with both a VK_SHADER_STAGE_TESSELLATION_CONTROL_BIT stage and the VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_PATCH_CONTROL_POINTS_EXT dynamic state enabled, and the current value of primitiveTopology is VK_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_PATCH_LIST, then vkCmdSetPatchControlPointsEXT must have been called and not subsequently invalidated in the current command buffer prior to this drawing command

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-None-04879
    If the bound graphics pipeline state was created with the VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_PRIMITIVE_RESTART_ENABLE dynamic state enabled then vkCmdSetPrimitiveRestartEnableEXT must have been called and not subsequently invalidated in the current command buffer prior to this drawing command

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-None-09637
    If the topology is VK_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_POINT_LIST, VK_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_LINE_LIST, VK_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_TRIANGLE_LIST, VK_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_LINE_LIST_WITH_ADJACENCY, or VK_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_TRIANGLE_LIST_WITH_ADJACENCY, the bound graphics pipeline state was created with the VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_PRIMITIVE_RESTART_ENABLE dynamic state enabled then vkCmdSetPrimitiveRestartEnableEXT must be VK_FALSE

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-buffer-02708
    If buffer is non-sparse then it must be bound completely and contiguously to a single VkDeviceMemory object

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-buffer-02709
    buffer must have been created with the VK_BUFFER_USAGE_INDIRECT_BUFFER_BIT bit set

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-offset-02710
    offset must be a multiple of 4

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-commandBuffer-02711
    commandBuffer must not be a protected command buffer

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-drawCount-02718
    If the multiDrawIndirect feature is not enabled, drawCount must be 0 or 1

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-drawCount-02719
    drawCount must be less than or equal to VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::maxDrawIndirectCount

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-None-07312
    A valid index buffer must be bound

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-drawCount-00528
    If drawCount is greater than 1, stride must be a multiple of 4 and must be greater than or equal to sizeof(VkDrawIndexedIndirectCommand)

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-drawCount-00539
    If drawCount is equal to 1, (offset + sizeof(VkDrawIndexedIndirectCommand)) must be less than or equal to the size of buffer

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-drawCount-00540
    If drawCount is greater than 1, (stride × (drawCount - 1) + offset + sizeof(VkDrawIndexedIndirectCommand)) must be less than or equal to the size of buffer

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-buffer-parameter
    buffer must be a valid VkBuffer handle

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-commandBuffer-recording
    commandBuffer must be in the recording state

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-commandBuffer-cmdpool
    The VkCommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must support graphics operations

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-renderpass
    This command must only be called inside of a render pass instance

  • VUID-vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect-commonparent
    Both of buffer, and commandBuffer must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from the same VkDevice
