C Specification

If the pNext chain includes a VkImageViewASTCDecodeModeEXT structure, then that structure includes a parameter specifying the decode mode for image views using ASTC compressed formats.

The VkImageViewASTCDecodeModeEXT structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_EXT_astc_decode_mode
typedef struct VkImageViewASTCDecodeModeEXT {
    VkStructureType    sType;
    const void*        pNext;
    VkFormat           decodeMode;
} VkImageViewASTCDecodeModeEXT;

Members

  • sType is the type of this structure.

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

  • decodeMode is the intermediate format used to decode ASTC compressed formats.

Description

Valid Usage

  • VUID-VkImageViewASTCDecodeModeEXT-decodeMode-02230
    decodeMode must be one of VK_FORMAT_R16G16B16A16_SFLOAT, VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM, or VK_FORMAT_E5B9G9R9_UFLOAT_PACK32

  • VUID-VkImageViewASTCDecodeModeEXT-decodeMode-02231
    If the decodeModeSharedExponent feature is not enabled, decodeMode must not be VK_FORMAT_E5B9G9R9_UFLOAT_PACK32

  • VUID-VkImageViewASTCDecodeModeEXT-decodeMode-02232
    If decodeMode is VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM the image view must not include blocks using any of the ASTC HDR modes

  • VUID-VkImageViewASTCDecodeModeEXT-format-04084
    format of the image view must be one of the ASTC Compressed Image Formats

If format uses sRGB encoding then the decodeMode has no effect.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkImageViewASTCDecodeModeEXT-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMAGE_VIEW_ASTC_DECODE_MODE_EXT

  • VUID-VkImageViewASTCDecodeModeEXT-decodeMode-parameter
    decodeMode must be a valid VkFormat value
