C Specification

To copy or compact an acceleration structure on the host, call:

// Provided by VK_KHR_acceleration_structure
VkResult vkCopyAccelerationStructureKHR(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    VkDeferredOperationKHR                      deferredOperation,
    const VkCopyAccelerationStructureInfoKHR*   pInfo);

Parameters

Description

This command fulfills the same task as vkCmdCopyAccelerationStructureKHR but is executed by the host.

Valid Usage

  • VUID-vkCopyAccelerationStructureKHR-deferredOperation-03678
    Any previous deferred operation that was associated with deferredOperation must be complete

  • VUID-vkCopyAccelerationStructureKHR-buffer-03727
    The buffer used to create pInfo->src must be bound to host-visible device memory

  • VUID-vkCopyAccelerationStructureKHR-buffer-03728
    The buffer used to create pInfo->dst must be bound to host-visible device memory

  • VUID-vkCopyAccelerationStructureKHR-buffer-03780
    The buffer used to create pInfo->src must be bound to memory that was not allocated with multiple instances

  • VUID-vkCopyAccelerationStructureKHR-buffer-03781
    The buffer used to create pInfo->dst must be bound to memory that was not allocated with multiple instances

Valid Usage (Implicit)

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

  • VUID-vkCopyAccelerationStructureKHR-deferredOperation-parameter
    If deferredOperation is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, deferredOperation must be a valid VkDeferredOperationKHR handle

  • VUID-vkCopyAccelerationStructureKHR-pInfo-parameter
    pInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkCopyAccelerationStructureInfoKHR structure

  • VUID-vkCopyAccelerationStructureKHR-deferredOperation-parent
    If deferredOperation is a valid handle, it must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from device

Return Codes
On success, this command returns

  • VK_SUCCESS

  • VK_OPERATION_DEFERRED_KHR

  • VK_OPERATION_NOT_DEFERRED_KHR

On failure, this command returns

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY
