C Specification

The VkDescriptorPoolSize structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
typedef struct VkDescriptorPoolSize {
    VkDescriptorType    type;
    uint32_t            descriptorCount;
} VkDescriptorPoolSize;

Members

  • type is the type of descriptor.

  • descriptorCount is the number of descriptors of that type to allocate. If type is VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_INLINE_UNIFORM_BLOCK then descriptorCount is the number of bytes to allocate for descriptors of this type.

Description

Note

When creating a descriptor pool that will contain descriptors for combined image samplers of multi-planar formats, an application needs to account for non-trivial descriptor consumption when choosing the descriptorCount value, as indicated by VkSamplerYcbcrConversionImageFormatProperties::combinedImageSamplerDescriptorCount.

For simplicity the application can use the VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance6PropertiesKHR::maxCombinedImageSamplerDescriptorCount property, which is sized to accommodate any and all formats that require a sampler Y′CBCR conversion supported by the implementation.
Valid Usage

  • VUID-VkDescriptorPoolSize-descriptorCount-00302
    descriptorCount must be greater than 0

  • VUID-VkDescriptorPoolSize-type-02218
    If type is VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_INLINE_UNIFORM_BLOCK then descriptorCount must be a multiple of 4

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkDescriptorPoolSize-type-parameter
    type must be a valid VkDescriptorType value
