C Specification

To query a 64-bit opaque capture address value from a memory object, call:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_2
uint64_t vkGetDeviceMemoryOpaqueCaptureAddress(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    const VkDeviceMemoryOpaqueCaptureAddressInfo* pInfo);

Parameters

  • device is the logical device that the memory object was allocated on.

  • pInfo is a pointer to a VkDeviceMemoryOpaqueCaptureAddressInfo structure specifying the memory object to retrieve an address for.

Description

The 64-bit return value is an opaque address representing the start of pInfo->memory.

If the memory object was allocated with a non-zero value of VkMemoryOpaqueCaptureAddressAllocateInfo::opaqueCaptureAddress, the return value must be the same address.

Note

The expected usage for these opaque addresses is only for trace capture/replay tools to store these addresses in a trace and subsequently specify them during replay.
Valid Usage

  • VUID-vkGetDeviceMemoryOpaqueCaptureAddress-None-03334
    The bufferDeviceAddress feature must be enabled

  • VUID-vkGetDeviceMemoryOpaqueCaptureAddress-device-03335
    If device was created with multiple physical devices, then the bufferDeviceAddressMultiDevice feature must be enabled

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-vkGetDeviceMemoryOpaqueCaptureAddress-device-parameter
    device must be a valid VkDevice handle

  • VUID-vkGetDeviceMemoryOpaqueCaptureAddress-pInfo-parameter
    pInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkDeviceMemoryOpaqueCaptureAddressInfo structure
