Description
Device loss can be triggered by a variety of issues, including invalid API usage, implementation errors, or hardware failures.
This extension introduces a new command: vkGetDeviceFaultInfoEXT,
which may be called subsequent to a VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST error code
having been returned by the implementation.
This command allows developers to query for additional information on GPU
faults which may have caused device loss, and to generate binary crash
dumps, which may be loaded into external tools for further diagnosis.
