is similar tomaxDescriptorSetInlineUniformBlocks
but counts descriptor bindings from descriptor sets created with or without theVK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_POOL_BIT
bit set.

structure is included in the pNext
chain of the
VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 structure passed to
vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2, it is filled in with each
corresponding implementation-dependent property.
The VkPhysicalDeviceDepthStencilResolveProperties
structure is defined
as:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_2
typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceDepthStencilResolveProperties {

is a bitmask of VkResolveModeFlagBits indicating the set of supported depth resolve modes.VK_RESOLVE_MODE_SAMPLE_ZERO_BIT
must be included in the set but implementations may support additional modes. -
supportedStencilResolveModes
is a bitmask of VkResolveModeFlagBits indicating the set of supported stencil resolve modes.VK_RESOLVE_MODE_SAMPLE_ZERO_BIT
must be included in the set but implementations may support additional modes.VK_RESOLVE_MODE_AVERAGE_BIT
must not be included in the set. -

isVK_TRUE
if the implementation supports setting the depth and stencil resolve modes to different values when one of those modes isVK_RESOLVE_MODE_NONE
. Otherwise the implementation only supports setting both modes to the same value. -
independentResolve
isVK_TRUE
if the implementation supports all combinations of the supported depth and stencil resolve modes, including setting either depth or stencil resolve mode toVK_RESOLVE_MODE_NONE
. An implementation that supportsindependentResolve
must also supportindependentResolveNone
.
If the VkPhysicalDeviceDepthStencilResolveProperties
structure is included in the pNext

VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 structure passed to
vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2, it is filled in with each
corresponding implementation-dependent property.

is a byte alignment that is sufficient for a uniform texel buffer of any format. The value must be a power of two. -
uniformTexelBufferOffsetSingleTexelAlignment
indicates whether single texel alignment is sufficient for a uniform texel buffer of any format.
If the VkPhysicalDeviceTexelBufferAlignmentProperties
structure is included in the pNext
chain of the
VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 structure passed to
vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2, it is filled in with each
corresponding implementation-dependent property.
If the single texel alignment property is VK_FALSE
, then the buffer
view’s offset must be aligned to the corresponding byte alignment value.
If the single texel alignment property is VK_TRUE
, then the buffer
view’s offset must be aligned to the lesser of the corresponding byte
alignment value or the size of a single texel, based on
VkBufferViewCreateInfo::format
.
If the size of a single texel is a multiple of three bytes, then the size of
a single component of the format is used instead.
These limits must not advertise a larger alignment than the
required maximum minimum value of
VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::minTexelBufferOffsetAlignment
, for any
format that supports use as a texel buffer.

corresponding implementation-dependent property.
33.1. Limit Requirements
The following table specifies the required minimum/maximum for all Vulkan graphics implementations. Where a limit corresponds to a fine-grained device feature which is optional, the feature name is listed with two required limits, one when the feature is supported and one when it is not supported. If an implementation supports a feature, the limits reported are the same whether or not the feature is enabled.

The Limit Type column specifies the limit is either the minimum limit all implementations must support, the maximum limit all implementations must support, or the exact value all implementations must support. For bitmasks a minimum limit is the least bits all implementations must set, but they may have additional bits set beyond this minimum.
- 2
-
The
maxPerStageResources
must be at least the smallest of the following:-
the sum of the
maxPerStageDescriptorUniformBuffers
,maxPerStageDescriptorStorageBuffers
,maxPerStageDescriptorSampledImages
,maxPerStageDescriptorStorageImages
,maxPerStageDescriptorInputAttachments
,maxColorAttachments
limits, or -
128.
It may not be possible to reach this limit in every stage.
-
- 3
-
See
maxViewportDimensions
for the required relationship to other limits. - 4
-
See
viewportBoundsRange
for the required relationship to other limits. - 5
-
The values
minInterpolationOffset
andmaxInterpolationOffset
describe the closed interval of supported interpolation offsets: [minInterpolationOffset
,maxInterpolationOffset
]. The ULP is determined bysubPixelInterpolationOffsetBits
. IfsubPixelInterpolationOffsetBits
is 4, this provides increments of (1/24) = 0.0625, and thus the range of supported interpolation offsets would be [-0.5, 0.4375]. - 6
-
The point size ULP is determined by
pointSizeGranularity
. If thepointSizeGranularity
is 0.125, the range of supported point sizes must be at least [1.0, 63.875]. - 7
-
The line width ULP is determined by
lineWidthGranularity
. If thelineWidthGranularity
is 0.0625, the range of supported line widths must be at least [1.0, 7.9375]. - 8
-
The minimum
maxDescriptorSet*
limit is n times the corresponding specification minimummaxPerStageDescriptor*
limit, where n is the number of shader stages supported by the VkPhysicalDevice. If all shader stages are supported, n = 6 (vertex, tessellation control, tessellation evaluation, geometry, fragment, compute). - 9
-
The
UpdateAfterBind
descriptor limits must each be greater than or equal to the correspondingnon
-UpdateAfterBind limit.
