C Specification

Device diagnostic checkpoints are inserted into the command stream by calling vkCmdSetCheckpointNV.

// Provided by VK_NV_device_diagnostic_checkpoints
void vkCmdSetCheckpointNV(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
    const void*                                 pCheckpointMarker);

Parameters

  • commandBuffer is the command buffer that will receive the marker

  • pCheckpointMarker is an opaque application-provided value that will be associated with the checkpoint.
