C Specification

Data describing a descriptor buffer binding is passed in a VkDescriptorBufferBindingInfoEXT structure:

// Provided by VK_EXT_descriptor_buffer
typedef struct VkDescriptorBufferBindingInfoEXT {
    VkStructureType       sType;
    void*                 pNext;
    VkDeviceAddress       address;
    VkBufferUsageFlags    usage;
} VkDescriptorBufferBindingInfoEXT;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • address is a VkDeviceAddress specifying the device address defining the descriptor buffer to be bound.

  • usage is a bitmask of VkBufferUsageFlagBits specifying the VkBufferCreateInfo::usage for the buffer from which address was queried.

Description

If a VkPipelineCreateFlags2CreateInfoKHR structure is present in the pNext chain, VkPipelineCreateFlags2CreateInfoKHR::flags from that structure is used instead of flags from this structure.

Valid Usage

  • VUID-VkDescriptorBufferBindingInfoEXT-bufferlessPushDescriptors-08056
    If VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorBufferPropertiesEXT::bufferlessPushDescriptors is VK_FALSE, and usage contains VK_BUFFER_USAGE_PUSH_DESCRIPTORS_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT, then the pNext chain must include a VkDescriptorBufferBindingPushDescriptorBufferHandleEXT structure

  • VUID-VkDescriptorBufferBindingInfoEXT-address-08057
    address must be aligned to VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorBufferPropertiesEXT::descriptorBufferOffsetAlignment

  • VUID-VkDescriptorBufferBindingInfoEXT-usage-08122
    If usage includes VK_BUFFER_USAGE_SAMPLER_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT, address must be an address within a valid buffer that was created with VK_BUFFER_USAGE_SAMPLER_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT

  • VUID-VkDescriptorBufferBindingInfoEXT-usage-08123
    If usage includes VK_BUFFER_USAGE_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT, address must be an address within a valid buffer that was created with VK_BUFFER_USAGE_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT

  • VUID-VkDescriptorBufferBindingInfoEXT-usage-08124
    If usage includes VK_BUFFER_USAGE_PUSH_DESCRIPTORS_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT, address must be an address within a valid buffer that was created with VK_BUFFER_USAGE_PUSH_DESCRIPTORS_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkDescriptorBufferBindingInfoEXT-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BINDING_INFO_EXT

  • VUID-VkDescriptorBufferBindingInfoEXT-pNext-pNext
    Each pNext member of any structure (including this one) in the pNext chain must be either NULL or a pointer to a valid instance of VkBufferUsageFlags2CreateInfoKHR or VkDescriptorBufferBindingPushDescriptorBufferHandleEXT

  • VUID-VkDescriptorBufferBindingInfoEXT-sType-unique
    The sType value of each struct in the pNext chain must be unique

  • VUID-VkDescriptorBufferBindingInfoEXT-usage-parameter
    usage must be a valid combination of VkBufferUsageFlagBits values

  • VUID-VkDescriptorBufferBindingInfoEXT-usage-requiredbitmask
    usage must not be 0
