C Specification

To import a Metal id<MTLSharedEvent> object to underlie a VkSemaphore or VkEvent object, include a VkImportMetalSharedEventInfoEXT structure in the pNext chain of the VkSemaphoreCreateInfo or VkEventCreateInfo structure in a vkCreateSemaphore or vkCreateEvent command, respectively.

The VkImportMetalSharedEventInfoEXT structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_EXT_metal_objects
typedef struct VkImportMetalSharedEventInfoEXT {
    VkStructureType      sType;
    const void*          pNext;
    MTLSharedEvent_id    mtlSharedEvent;
} VkImportMetalSharedEventInfoEXT;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

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

  • mtlSharedEvent is the Metal id<MTLSharedEvent> object that is to underlie the VkSemaphore or VkEvent.

Description

If the pNext chain of the VkSemaphoreCreateInfo structure includes both VkImportMetalSharedEventInfoEXT and VkSemaphoreTypeCreateInfo, the signaledValue property of the imported id<MTLSharedEvent> object will be set to initialValue of VkSemaphoreTypeCreateInfo.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkImportMetalSharedEventInfoEXT-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMPORT_METAL_SHARED_EVENT_INFO_EXT
