VkPhysicalDeviceGraphicsPipelineLibraryFeaturesEXT - Structure describing support for graphics pipeline libraries

Members

This structure describes the following feature:

Description

If the PhysicalDeviceGraphicsPipelineLibraryFeaturesEXT structure is included in the pNext chain of the PhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to getPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. If the application wishes to use a Device with any features described by PhysicalDeviceGraphicsPipelineLibraryFeaturesEXT, it must add an instance of the structure, with the desired feature members set to TRUE, to the pNext chain of DeviceCreateInfo when creating the Device.

VkPhysicalDeviceGraphicsPipelineLibraryPropertiesEXT - Structure describing additional properties of graphics pipeline libraries

Description

If the PhysicalDeviceGraphicsPipelineLibraryPropertiesEXT structure is included in the pNext chain of the PhysicalDeviceProperties2 structure passed to getPhysicalDeviceProperties2, it is filled in with each corresponding implementation-dependent property.

VkGraphicsPipelineLibraryCreateInfoEXT - Structure specifying the subsets of the graphics pipeline being compiled

Description

If a GraphicsPipelineLibraryCreateInfoEXT structure is included in the pNext chain of GraphicsPipelineCreateInfo, it specifies the subsets of the graphics pipeline being created, excluding any subsets from linked pipeline libraries. If the pipeline is created with pipeline libraries, state from those libraries is aggregated with said subset.

If this structure is omitted, and either GraphicsPipelineCreateInfo::flags includes PIPELINE_CREATE_LIBRARY_BIT_KHR or the GraphicsPipelineCreateInfo::pNext chain includes a PipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR structure with a libraryCount greater than 0, it is as if flags is 0. Otherwise if this structure is omitted, it is as if flags includes all possible subsets of the graphics pipeline (i.e. a complete graphics pipeline).

VkGraphicsPipelineLibraryFlagBitsEXT - Bitmask specifying the subset of a graphics pipeline to compile

Description

• GRAPHICS_PIPELINE_LIBRARY_VERTEX_INPUT_INTERFACE_BIT_EXT specifies that a pipeline will include vertex input interface state.

• GRAPHICS_PIPELINE_LIBRARY_PRE_RASTERIZATION_SHADERS_BIT_EXT specifies that a pipeline will include pre-rasterization shader state.

• GRAPHICS_PIPELINE_LIBRARY_FRAGMENT_SHADER_BIT_EXT specifies that a pipeline will include fragment shader state.

• GRAPHICS_PIPELINE_LIBRARY_FRAGMENT_OUTPUT_INTERFACE_BIT_EXT specifies that a pipeline will include fragment output interface state.
