C Specification

If the pNext chain of VkImageCreateInfo includes a VkImageFormatListCreateInfo structure, then that structure contains a list of all formats that can be used when creating views of this image.

The VkImageFormatListCreateInfo structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_2
typedef struct VkImageFormatListCreateInfo {
    VkStructureType    sType;
    const void*        pNext;
    uint32_t           viewFormatCount;
    const VkFormat*    pViewFormats;
} VkImageFormatListCreateInfo;

or the equivalent

// Provided by VK_KHR_image_format_list
typedef VkImageFormatListCreateInfo VkImageFormatListCreateInfoKHR;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

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

  • viewFormatCount is the number of entries in the pViewFormats array.

  • pViewFormats is a pointer to an array of VkFormat values specifying all formats which can be used when creating views of this image.

Description

If viewFormatCount is zero, pViewFormats is ignored and the image is created as if the VkImageFormatListCreateInfo structure were not included in the pNext chain of VkImageCreateInfo.

Valid Usage

  • VUID-VkImageFormatListCreateInfo-viewFormatCount-09540
    If viewFormatCount is not 0, each element of pViewFormats must not be VK_FORMAT_UNDEFINED

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkImageFormatListCreateInfo-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMAGE_FORMAT_LIST_CREATE_INFO

  • VUID-VkImageFormatListCreateInfo-pViewFormats-parameter
    If viewFormatCount is not 0, pViewFormats must be a valid pointer to an array of viewFormatCount valid VkFormat values
