C Specification

The VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_MVK_macos_surface
typedef struct VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK {
    VkStructureType                 sType;
    const void*                     pNext;
    VkMacOSSurfaceCreateFlagsMVK    flags;
    const void*                     pView;
} VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

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

  • flags is reserved for future use.

  • pView is a reference to either a CAMetalLayer object or an NSView object.

Description

Valid Usage

  • VUID-VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK-pView-04144
    If pView is a CAMetalLayer object, it must be a valid CAMetalLayer

  • VUID-VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK-pView-01317
    If pView is an NSView object, it must be a valid NSView, must be backed by a CALayer object of type CAMetalLayer, and vkCreateMacOSSurfaceMVK must be called on the main thread

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_MACOS_SURFACE_CREATE_INFO_MVK

  • VUID-VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK-pNext-pNext
    pNext must be NULL

  • VUID-VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK-flags-zerobitmask
    flags must be 0
