Description
-
VK_DESCRIPTOR_POOL_CREATE_FREE_DESCRIPTOR_SET_BIT
specifies that descriptor sets can return their individual allocations to the pool, i.e. all of vkAllocateDescriptorSets, vkFreeDescriptorSets, and vkResetDescriptorPool are allowed. Otherwise, descriptor sets allocated from the pool must not be individually freed back to the pool, i.e. only vkAllocateDescriptorSets and vkResetDescriptorPool are allowed. -
VK_DESCRIPTOR_POOL_CREATE_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_BIT
specifies that descriptor sets allocated from this pool can include bindings with theVK_DESCRIPTOR_BINDING_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_BIT
bit set. It is valid to allocate descriptor sets that have bindings that do not set theVK_DESCRIPTOR_BINDING_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_BIT
bit from a pool that hasVK_DESCRIPTOR_POOL_CREATE_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_BIT
set. -
VK_DESCRIPTOR_POOL_CREATE_HOST_ONLY_BIT_EXT
specifies that this descriptor pool and the descriptor sets allocated from it reside entirely in host memory and cannot be bound. Similar to descriptor sets allocated without this flag, applications can copy-from and copy-to descriptors sets allocated from this descriptor pool. Descriptor sets allocated from this pool are partially exempt from the external synchronization requirement in vkUpdateDescriptorSetWithTemplateKHR and vkUpdateDescriptorSets. Descriptor sets and their descriptors can be updated concurrently in different threads, though the same descriptor must not be updated concurrently by two threads.
