C Specification

The requested counters become active when the first presentation command for the associated swapchain is processed by the presentation engine. To query the value of an active counter, use:

// Provided by VK_EXT_display_control
VkResult vkGetSwapchainCounterEXT(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    VkSwapchainKHR                              swapchain,
    VkSurfaceCounterFlagBitsEXT                 counter,
    uint64_t*                                   pCounterValue);

Parameters

  • device is the VkDevice associated with swapchain.

  • swapchain is the swapchain from which to query the counter value.

  • counter is a VkSurfaceCounterFlagBitsEXT value specifying the counter to query.

  • pCounterValue will return the current value of the counter.

Description

If a counter is not available because the swapchain is out of date, the implementation may return VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR.

Valid Usage

  • VUID-vkGetSwapchainCounterEXT-swapchain-01245
    One or more present commands on swapchain must have been processed by the presentation engine

Valid Usage (Implicit)

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

  • VUID-vkGetSwapchainCounterEXT-swapchain-parameter
    swapchain must be a valid VkSwapchainKHR handle

  • VUID-vkGetSwapchainCounterEXT-counter-parameter
    counter must be a valid VkSurfaceCounterFlagBitsEXT value

  • VUID-vkGetSwapchainCounterEXT-pCounterValue-parameter
    pCounterValue must be a valid pointer to a uint64_t value

  • VUID-vkGetSwapchainCounterEXT-swapchain-parent
    swapchain must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from device

Return Codes
On success, this command returns

  • VK_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

  • VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR
