Description
Applications may wish to update a fixed set of descriptors in a large number of descriptor sets very frequently, i.e. during initialization phase or if it is required to rebuild descriptor sets for each frame. For those cases it is also not unlikely that all information required to update a single descriptor set is stored in a single struct. This extension provides a way to update a fixed set of descriptors in a single VkDescriptorSet with a pointer to a user defined data structure describing the new descriptors.
Promotion to Vulkan 1.1
vkCmdPushDescriptorSetWithTemplateKHR is included as an interaction
with VK_KHR_push_descriptor
.
If Vulkan 1.1 and VK_KHR_push_descriptor
are supported, this is included
by VK_KHR_push_descriptor
.
The base functionality in this extension is included in core Vulkan 1.1, with the KHR suffix omitted. The original type, enum and command names are still available as aliases of the core functionality.
