VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo(3)

C Specification

Information about the descriptor set layout is passed in a VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo structure:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
typedef struct VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo {
    VkStructureType                        sType;
    const void*                            pNext;
    VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateFlags       flags;
    uint32_t                               bindingCount;
    const VkDescriptorSetLayoutBinding*    pBindings;
} VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo;

Members

sType is the type of this structure.
pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
flags is a bitmask of VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateFlagBits specifying options for descriptor set layout creation.
bindingCount is the number of elements in pBindings.
pBindings is a pointer to an array of VkDescriptorSetLayoutBinding structures.

Description

Valid Usage

VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-flags-00281
If flags contains VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_PUSH_DESCRIPTOR_BIT_KHR, then the total number of elements of all bindings must be less than or equal to VkPhysicalDevicePushDescriptorPropertiesKHR::maxPushDescriptors
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-flags-04590
If flags contains VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_PUSH_DESCRIPTOR_BIT_KHR, flags must not contain VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_HOST_ONLY_POOL_BIT_EXT
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-flags-04591
If flags contains VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_PUSH_DESCRIPTOR_BIT_KHR, pBindings must not have a descriptorType of VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_EXT
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-flags-03000
If any binding has the VK_DESCRIPTOR_BINDING_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_BIT bit set, flags must include VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_POOL_BIT
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-descriptorType-03001
If any binding has the VK_DESCRIPTOR_BINDING_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_BIT bit set, then all bindings must not have descriptorType of VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_BUFFER_DYNAMIC or VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_BUFFER_DYNAMIC
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-flags-04592
If flags contains VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_POOL_BIT, flags must not contain VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_HOST_ONLY_POOL_BIT_EXT
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-pBindings-07303
If any element pBindings[i] has a descriptorType of VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_EXT, then a VkMutableDescriptorTypeCreateInfoEXT must be present in the pNext chain, and mutableDescriptorTypeListCount must be greater than i
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-descriptorType-04594
If a binding has a descriptorType value of VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_EXT, then pImmutableSamplers must be NULL
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-mutableDescriptorType-04595
If VkPhysicalDeviceMutableDescriptorTypeFeaturesEXT::mutableDescriptorType is not enabled, pBindings must not contain a descriptorType of VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_EXT
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-flags-04596
If flags contains VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_HOST_ONLY_POOL_BIT_EXT, VkPhysicalDeviceMutableDescriptorTypeFeaturesEXT::mutableDescriptorType must be enabled
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-flags-08000
If flags contains VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT, then all elements of pBindings must not have a descriptorType of VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_BUFFER_DYNAMIC or VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_BUFFER_DYNAMIC
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-flags-08001
If flags contains VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_EMBEDDED_IMMUTABLE_SAMPLERS_BIT_EXT, flags must also contain VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-flags-08002
If flags contains VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT, then flags must not contain VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_POOL_BIT
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-flags-08003
If flags contains VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT, then flags must not contain VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_HOST_ONLY_POOL_BIT_VALVE

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-sType-sType
sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_INFO
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-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 VkDescriptorSetLayoutBindingFlagsCreateInfo or VkMutableDescriptorTypeCreateInfoEXT
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-sType-unique
The sType value of each struct in the pNext chain must be unique
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-flags-parameter
flags must be a valid combination of VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateFlagBits values
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo-pBindings-parameter
If bindingCount is not 0, pBindings must be a valid pointer to an array of bindingCount valid VkDescriptorSetLayoutBinding structures
