C Specification

Feedback about the creation of a particular pipeline object can be obtained by adding a VkPipelineCreationFeedbackCreateInfo structure to the pNext chain of VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo, VkRayTracingPipelineCreateInfoKHR, VkRayTracingPipelineCreateInfoNV, or VkComputePipelineCreateInfo. The VkPipelineCreationFeedbackCreateInfo structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_3
typedef struct VkPipelineCreationFeedbackCreateInfo {
    VkStructureType                sType;
    const void*                    pNext;
    VkPipelineCreationFeedback*    pPipelineCreationFeedback;
    uint32_t                       pipelineStageCreationFeedbackCount;
    VkPipelineCreationFeedback*    pPipelineStageCreationFeedbacks;
} VkPipelineCreationFeedbackCreateInfo;

or the equivalent

// Provided by VK_EXT_pipeline_creation_feedback
typedef VkPipelineCreationFeedbackCreateInfo VkPipelineCreationFeedbackCreateInfoEXT;

Members

  • sType is the type of this structure.

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

  • pPipelineCreationFeedback is a pointer to a VkPipelineCreationFeedback structure.

  • pipelineStageCreationFeedbackCount is the number of elements in pPipelineStageCreationFeedbacks.

  • pPipelineStageCreationFeedbacks is a pointer to an array of pipelineStageCreationFeedbackCount VkPipelineCreationFeedback structures.

Description

An implementation should write pipeline creation feedback to pPipelineCreationFeedback and may write pipeline stage creation feedback to pPipelineStageCreationFeedbacks. An implementation must set or clear the VK_PIPELINE_CREATION_FEEDBACK_VALID_BIT in VkPipelineCreationFeedback::flags for pPipelineCreationFeedback and every element of pPipelineStageCreationFeedbacks.

Note

One common scenario for an implementation to skip per-stage feedback is when VK_PIPELINE_CREATION_FEEDBACK_APPLICATION_PIPELINE_CACHE_HIT_BIT is set in pPipelineCreationFeedback.

When chained to VkRayTracingPipelineCreateInfoKHR, VkRayTracingPipelineCreateInfoNV, or VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo, the i element of pPipelineStageCreationFeedbacks corresponds to the i element of VkRayTracingPipelineCreateInfoKHR::pStages, VkRayTracingPipelineCreateInfoNV::pStages, or VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo::pStages. When chained to VkComputePipelineCreateInfo, the first element of pPipelineStageCreationFeedbacks corresponds to VkComputePipelineCreateInfo::stage.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkPipelineCreationFeedbackCreateInfo-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_CREATION_FEEDBACK_CREATE_INFO

  • VUID-VkPipelineCreationFeedbackCreateInfo-pPipelineCreationFeedback-parameter
    pPipelineCreationFeedback must be a valid pointer to a VkPipelineCreationFeedback structure

  • VUID-VkPipelineCreationFeedbackCreateInfo-pPipelineStageCreationFeedbacks-parameter
    If pipelineStageCreationFeedbackCount is not 0, pPipelineStageCreationFeedbacks must be a valid pointer to an array of pipelineStageCreationFeedbackCount VkPipelineCreationFeedback structures
