C Specification

The VkPipelineRobustnessCreateInfoEXT structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_EXT_pipeline_robustness
typedef struct VkPipelineRobustnessCreateInfoEXT {
    VkStructureType                          sType;
    const void*                              pNext;
    VkPipelineRobustnessBufferBehaviorEXT    storageBuffers;
    VkPipelineRobustnessBufferBehaviorEXT    uniformBuffers;
    VkPipelineRobustnessBufferBehaviorEXT    vertexInputs;
    VkPipelineRobustnessImageBehaviorEXT     images;
} VkPipelineRobustnessCreateInfoEXT;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

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

  • storageBuffers sets the behavior of out of bounds accesses made to resources bound as:

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_BUFFER

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_TEXEL_BUFFER

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_BUFFER_DYNAMIC

  • uniformBuffers describes the behavior of out of bounds accesses made to resources bound as:

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_BUFFER

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_BUFFER_DYNAMIC

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_INLINE_UNIFORM_BLOCK

  • vertexInputs describes the behavior of out of bounds accesses made to vertex input attributes

  • images describes the behavior of out of bounds accesses made to resources bound as:

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLED_IMAGE

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_IMAGE

Description

Resources bound as VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_EXT will have the robustness behavior that covers its active descriptor type.

The scope of the effect of VkPipelineRobustnessCreateInfoEXT depends on which structure’s pNext chain it is included in.

  • VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo, VkRayTracingPipelineCreateInfoKHR, VkComputePipelineCreateInfo:
    The robustness behavior described by VkPipelineRobustnessCreateInfoEXT applies to all accesses through this pipeline

  • VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo:
    The robustness behavior described by VkPipelineRobustnessCreateInfoEXT applies to all accesses emanating from the shader code of this shader stage

If VkPipelineRobustnessCreateInfoEXT is specified for both a pipeline and a pipeline stage, the VkPipelineRobustnessCreateInfoEXT specified for the pipeline stage will take precedence.

When VkPipelineRobustnessCreateInfoEXT is specified for a pipeline, it only affects the subset of the pipeline that is specified by the create info, as opposed to subsets linked from pipeline libraries. For VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo, that subset is specified by VkGraphicsPipelineLibraryCreateInfoEXT::flags. For VkRayTracingPipelineCreateInfoKHR, that subset is specified by the specific stages in VkRayTracingPipelineCreateInfoKHR::pStages.
