C Specification

To dynamically set the stencil operation, call:

// Provided by VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state
void vkCmdSetStencilOpEXT(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
    VkStencilFaceFlags                          faceMask,
    VkStencilOp                                 failOp,
    VkStencilOp                                 passOp,
    VkStencilOp                                 depthFailOp,
    VkCompareOp                                 compareOp);

Parameters

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

  • faceMask is a bitmask of VkStencilFaceFlagBits specifying the set of stencil state for which to update the stencil operation.

  • failOp is a VkStencilOp value specifying the action performed on samples that fail the stencil test.

  • passOp is a VkStencilOp value specifying the action performed on samples that pass both the depth and stencil tests.

  • depthFailOp is a VkStencilOp value specifying the action performed on samples that pass the stencil test and fail the depth test.

  • compareOp is a VkCompareOp value specifying the comparison operator used in the stencil test.

Description

This command sets the stencil operation for subsequent drawing commands when when the graphics pipeline is created with VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_STENCIL_OP set in VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo::pDynamicStates. Otherwise, this state is specified by the corresponding VkPipelineDepthStencilStateCreateInfo::failOp, passOp, depthFailOp, and compareOp values used to create the currently active pipeline, for both front and back faces.
