C Specification

To bind transform feedback buffers to a command buffer for use in subsequent drawing commands, call:

// Provided by VK_EXT_transform_feedback
void vkCmdBindTransformFeedbackBuffersEXT(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
    uint32_t                                    firstBinding,
    uint32_t                                    bindingCount,
    const VkBuffer*                             pBuffers,
    const VkDeviceSize*                         pOffsets,
    const VkDeviceSize*                         pSizes);

Parameters

  • commandBuffer is the command buffer into which the command is recorded.

  • firstBinding is the index of the first transform feedback binding whose state is updated by the command.

  • bindingCount is the number of transform feedback bindings whose state is updated by the command.

  • pBuffers is a pointer to an array of buffer handles.

  • pOffsets is a pointer to an array of buffer offsets.

  • pSizes is NULL or a pointer to an array of VkDeviceSize buffer sizes, specifying the maximum number of bytes to capture to the corresponding transform feedback buffer. If pSizes is NULL, or the value of the pSizes array element is VK_WHOLE_SIZE, then the maximum number of bytes captured will be the size of the corresponding buffer minus the buffer offset.

Description

The values taken from elements i of pBuffers, pOffsets and pSizes replace the current state for the transform feedback binding firstBinding + i, for i in [0, bindingCount). The transform feedback binding is updated to start at the offset indicated by pOffsets[i] from the start of the buffer pBuffers[i].

Valid Usage

  • VUID-vkCmdBindTransformFeedbackBuffersEXT-pBuffers-02360
    All elements of pBuffers must have been created with the VK_BUFFER_USAGE_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER_BIT_EXT flag

  • VUID-vkCmdBindTransformFeedbackBuffersEXT-pSize-02361
    If the optional pSize array is specified, each element of pSizes must either be VK_WHOLE_SIZE, or be less than or equal to VkPhysicalDeviceTransformFeedbackPropertiesEXT::maxTransformFeedbackBufferSize

  • VUID-vkCmdBindTransformFeedbackBuffersEXT-pSizes-02362
    All elements of pSizes must be either VK_WHOLE_SIZE, or less than or equal to the size of the corresponding buffer in pBuffers

  • VUID-vkCmdBindTransformFeedbackBuffersEXT-pOffsets-02363
    All elements of pOffsets plus pSizes, where the pSizes, element is not VK_WHOLE_SIZE, must be less than or equal to the size of the corresponding buffer in pBuffers

  • VUID-vkCmdBindTransformFeedbackBuffersEXT-pBuffers-02364
    Each element of pBuffers that is non-sparse must be bound completely and contiguously to a single VkDeviceMemory object

  • VUID-vkCmdBindTransformFeedbackBuffersEXT-None-02365
    Transform feedback must not be active when the vkCmdBindTransformFeedbackBuffersEXT command is recorded

    The VkCommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must support graphics operations

  • VUID-vkCmdBindTransformFeedbackBuffersEXT-videocoding
    This command must only be called outside of a video coding scope

  • VUID-vkCmdBindTransformFeedbackBuffersEXT-bindingCount-arraylength
    bindingCount must be greater than 0

  • VUID-vkCmdBindTransformFeedbackBuffersEXT-commonparent
    Both of commandBuffer, and the elements of pBuffers must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from the same VkDevice
