C Specification
When allocating memory whose payload may be exported to another process or
Vulkan instance, add a VkExportMemoryAllocateInfo structure to the
pNext
chain of the VkMemoryAllocateInfo structure, specifying
the handle types that may be exported.
The VkExportMemoryAllocateInfo structure is defined as:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
typedef struct VkExportMemoryAllocateInfo {
VkStructureType sType;
const void* pNext;
VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlags handleTypes;
} VkExportMemoryAllocateInfo;
or the equivalent
// Provided by VK_KHR_external_memory
typedef VkExportMemoryAllocateInfo VkExportMemoryAllocateInfoKHR;
Members
-
sType
is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure. -
pNext
isNULL
or a pointer to a structure extending this structure. -
handleTypes
is zero or a bitmask of VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBits specifying one or more memory handle types the application can export from the resulting allocation. The application can request multiple handle types for the same allocation.
