It is also suitable for passing as the buffer member of IndirectCommandsStreamNV, or sequencesCountBuffer or sequencesIndexBuffer or preprocessedBuffer member of GeneratedCommandsInfoNV. It is also suitable for passing as the underlying buffer of either the preprocessAddress or sequenceCountAddress members of GeneratedCommandsInfoEXT.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_SAMPLER_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT specifies that the buffer is suitable to contain sampler and combined image sampler descriptors when bound as a descriptor buffer. Buffers containing combined image sampler descriptors must also specify BUFFER_USAGE_2_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT specifies that the buffer is suitable to contain resource descriptors when bound as a descriptor buffer.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_PUSH_DESCRIPTORS_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT specifies that the buffer, when bound, can be used by the implementation to support push descriptors when using descriptor buffers.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_TILE_MEMORY_BIT_QCOM specifies that the buffer can be bound to DeviceMemory allocated from a MemoryHeap with the MEMORY_HEAP_TILE_MEMORY_BIT_QCOM property.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_RAY_TRACING_BIT_NV specifies that the buffer is suitable for use in cmdTraceRaysNV.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_SHADER_BINDING_TABLE_BIT_KHR specifies that the buffer is suitable for use as a Shader Binding Table.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_BUILD_INPUT_READ_ONLY_BIT_KHR specifies that the buffer is suitable for use as a read-only input to an acceleration structure build.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_STORAGE_BIT_KHR specifies that the buffer is suitable for storage space for a AccelerationStructureKHR.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_SHADER_DEVICE_ADDRESS_BIT specifies that the buffer can be used to retrieve a buffer device address via getBufferDeviceAddress and use that address to access the buffer’s memory from a shader.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_VIDEO_DECODE_SRC_BIT_KHR specifies that the buffer can be used as the source video bitstream buffer in a video decode operation.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_VIDEO_DECODE_DST_BIT_KHR is reserved for future use.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_VIDEO_ENCODE_DST_BIT_KHR specifies that the buffer can be used as the destination video bitstream buffer in a video encode operation.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_VIDEO_ENCODE_SRC_BIT_KHR is reserved for future use.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_EXECUTION_GRAPH_SCRATCH_BIT_AMDX specifies that the buffer can be used for as scratch memory for execution graph dispatch.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_PREPROCESS_BUFFER_BIT_EXT specifies that the buffer can be used as a preprocess buffer for Device-Generated Commands.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_MICROMAP_BUILD_INPUT_READ_ONLY_BIT_EXT specifies that the buffer can be used as a read-only build input, which includes the data and triangleArray parameters

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_MICROMAP_STORAGE_BIT_EXT specifies that the buffer can be used to create objects.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_COMPRESSED_DATA_DGF1_BIT_AMDX specifies that the buffer is suitable as storage space for Dense Geometry Format data.

• BUFFER_USAGE_2_DATA_GRAPH_FOREIGN_DESCRIPTOR_BIT_ARM specifies that the buffer is suitable to contain resource descriptors when bound as a descriptor buffer in command buffers allocated from a command pool that can target foreign data graph processing engines.
