C Specification

To create descriptor set layout objects, call:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
VkResult vkCreateDescriptorSetLayout(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    const VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo*      pCreateInfo,
    const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
    VkDescriptorSetLayout*                      pSetLayout);

Parameters

  • device is the logical device that creates the descriptor set layout.

  • pCreateInfo is a pointer to a VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo structure specifying the state of the descriptor set layout object.

  • pAllocator controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

  • pSetLayout is a pointer to a VkDescriptorSetLayout handle in which the resulting descriptor set layout object is returned.

Description

Valid Usage
Valid Usage (Implicit)
  • VUID-vkCreateDescriptorSetLayout-device-parameter
    device must be a valid VkDevice handle

  • VUID-vkCreateDescriptorSetLayout-pCreateInfo-parameter
    pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo structure

  • VUID-vkCreateDescriptorSetLayout-pAllocator-parameter
    If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure

  • VUID-vkCreateDescriptorSetLayout-pSetLayout-parameter
    pSetLayout must be a valid pointer to a VkDescriptorSetLayout handle

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
