C Specification

To create a query pool, call:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
VkResult vkCreateQueryPool(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    const VkQueryPoolCreateInfo*                pCreateInfo,
    const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
    VkQueryPool*                                pQueryPool);

Parameters

  • device is the logical device that creates the query pool.

  • pCreateInfo is a pointer to a VkQueryPoolCreateInfo structure containing the number and type of queries to be managed by the pool.

  • pAllocator controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

  • pQueryPool is a pointer to a VkQueryPool handle in which the resulting query pool object is returned.

Description

If VkPhysicalDeviceVulkanSC10Properties::deviceNoDynamicHostAllocations is VK_TRUE, vkCreateQueryPool must not return VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY.

Valid Usage
  • VUID-vkCreateQueryPool-device-05068
    The number of query pools currently allocated from device plus 1 must be less than or equal to the total number of query pools requested via VkDeviceObjectReservationCreateInfo::queryPoolRequestCount specified when device was created

Valid Usage (Implicit)
  • VUID-vkCreateQueryPool-device-parameter
    device must be a valid VkDevice handle

  • VUID-vkCreateQueryPool-pCreateInfo-parameter
    pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkQueryPoolCreateInfo structure

  • VUID-vkCreateQueryPool-pAllocator-null
    pAllocator must be NULL

  • VUID-vkCreateQueryPool-pQueryPool-parameter
    pQueryPool must be a valid pointer to a VkQueryPool handle

Return Codes
On success, this command returns
  • VK_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns
  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY
