VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupport(3)

C Specification

Information about support for the descriptor set layout is returned in a VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupport structure:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
typedef struct VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupport {
    VkStructureType    sType;
    void*              pNext;
    VkBool32           supported;
} VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupport;

// Provided by VK_KHR_maintenance3
// Equivalent to VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupport
typedef VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupport VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupportKHR;

Members

sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
supported specifies whether the descriptor set layout can be created.

Description

supported will be VK_TRUE if the descriptor set can be created, or else VK_FALSE.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupport-sType-sType
sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_SUPPORT
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupport-pNext-pNext
pNext must be NULL or a pointer to a valid instance of VkDescriptorSetVariableDescriptorCountLayoutSupport
VUID-VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupport-sType-unique
The sType value of each structure in the pNext chain must be unique
