C Specification

To attach memory to buffer objects for one or more buffers at a time, call:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
VkResult vkBindBufferMemory2(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    uint32_t                                    bindInfoCount,
    const VkBindBufferMemoryInfo*               pBindInfos);

or the equivalent command

// Provided by VK_KHR_bind_memory2
VkResult vkBindBufferMemory2KHR(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    uint32_t                                    bindInfoCount,
    const VkBindBufferMemoryInfo*               pBindInfos);

Parameters

  • device is the logical device that owns the buffers and memory.

  • bindInfoCount is the number of elements in pBindInfos.

  • pBindInfos is a pointer to an array of bindInfoCount VkBindBufferMemoryInfo structures describing buffers and memory to bind.

Description

On some implementations, it may be more efficient to batch memory bindings into a single command.

If the maintenance6 feature is enabled, this command must attempt to perform all of the memory binding operations described by pBindInfos, and must not early exit on the first failure.

If any of the memory binding operations described by pBindInfos fail, the VkResult returned by this command must be the return value of any one of the memory binding operations which did not return VK_SUCCESS.

Note

If the vkBindBufferMemory2 command failed, VkBindMemoryStatusKHR structures were not included in the pNext chains of each element of pBindInfos, and bindInfoCount was greater than one, then the buffers referenced by pBindInfos will be in an indeterminate state, and must not be used.

Applications should destroy these buffers.
Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-vkBindBufferMemory2-device-parameter
    device must be a valid VkDevice handle

  • VUID-vkBindBufferMemory2-pBindInfos-parameter
    pBindInfos must be a valid pointer to an array of bindInfoCount valid VkBindBufferMemoryInfo structures

  • VUID-vkBindBufferMemory2-bindInfoCount-arraylength
    bindInfoCount must be greater than 0

Return Codes
On success, this command returns

  • VK_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY

  • VK_ERROR_INVALID_OPAQUE_CAPTURE_ADDRESS_KHR
