VkRenderPassCreateInfo(3)

C Specification

The VkRenderPassCreateInfo structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
typedef struct VkRenderPassCreateInfo {
    VkStructureType                   sType;
    const void*                       pNext;
    VkRenderPassCreateFlags           flags;
    uint32_t                          attachmentCount;
    const VkAttachmentDescription*    pAttachments;
    uint32_t                          subpassCount;
    const VkSubpassDescription*       pSubpasses;
    uint32_t                          dependencyCount;
    const VkSubpassDependency*        pDependencies;
} VkRenderPassCreateInfo;

Members

sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
flags is a bitmask of VkRenderPassCreateFlagBits
attachmentCount is the number of attachments used by this render pass.
pAttachments is a pointer to an array of attachmentCount VkAttachmentDescription structures describing the attachments used by the render pass.
subpassCount is the number of subpasses to create.
pSubpasses is a pointer to an array of subpassCount VkSubpassDescription structures describing each subpass.
dependencyCount is the number of memory dependencies between pairs of subpasses.
pDependencies is a pointer to an array of dependencyCount VkSubpassDependency structures describing dependencies between pairs of subpasses.

Description

Note

Care should be taken to avoid a data race here; if any subpasses access attachments with overlapping memory locations, and one of those accesses is a write, a subpass dependency needs to be included between them.

VUID-VkRenderPassCreateInfo-pNext-02514
If the pNext chain includes a VkRenderPassMultiviewCreateInfo structure, and each element of its pViewMasks member is 0, the dependencyFlags member of each element of pDependencies must not include VK_DEPENDENCY_VIEW_LOCAL_BIT
VUID-VkRenderPassCreateInfo-pNext-02515
