C Specification

To create a pipeline layout, call:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
VkResult vkCreatePipelineLayout(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    const VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo*           pCreateInfo,
    const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
    VkPipelineLayout*                           pPipelineLayout);

Parameters

  • device is the logical device that creates the pipeline layout.

  • pCreateInfo is a pointer to a VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo structure specifying the state of the pipeline layout object.

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

  • pPipelineLayout is a pointer to a VkPipelineLayout handle in which the resulting pipeline layout object is returned.

Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

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

  • VUID-vkCreatePipelineLayout-pCreateInfo-parameter
    pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo structure

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

  • VUID-vkCreatePipelineLayout-pPipelineLayout-parameter
    pPipelineLayout must be a valid pointer to a VkPipelineLayout 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
