C Specification

To destroy a buffer, call:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
void vkDestroyBuffer(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    VkBuffer                                    buffer,
    const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator);

Parameters

  • device is the logical device that destroys the buffer.

  • buffer is the buffer to destroy.

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

Description

Valid Usage
  • VUID-vkDestroyBuffer-buffer-00922
    All submitted commands that refer to buffer, either directly or via a VkBufferView, must have completed execution

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

  • VUID-vkDestroyBuffer-buffer-parameter
    If buffer is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, buffer must be a valid VkBuffer handle

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

  • VUID-vkDestroyBuffer-buffer-parent
    If buffer is a valid handle, it must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from device
