C Specification

The VkShaderDescriptorSetAndBindingMappingInfoEXT structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_EXT_descriptor_heap
typedef struct VkShaderDescriptorSetAndBindingMappingInfoEXT {
    VkStructureType                               sType;
    const void*                                   pNext;
    uint32_t                                      mappingCount;
    const VkDescriptorSetAndBindingMappingEXT*    pMappings;
} VkShaderDescriptorSetAndBindingMappingInfoEXT;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • mappingCount is the number of elements in pMappings.

  • pMappings is a pointer to an array of VkDescriptorSetAndBindingMappingEXT structures specifying mappings for a set of descriptors

Description

Including this structure in the pNext chain of VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo will set mappings for the shader defined by that structure. Similarly, including this structure in the pNext chain of a VkShaderCreateInfoEXT with a codeType of VK_SHADER_CODE_TYPE_SPIRV_EXT, will set mappings for that shader.

If this structure is not present, it is equivalent to setting mappingCount to 0.

Valid Usage

  • VUID-VkShaderDescriptorSetAndBindingMappingInfoEXT-pMappings-11244
    Any two elements of pMappings must not have the same value of descriptorSet, an overlapping range specified by firstBinding and bindingCount, and any overlapping bits in resourceMask

Valid Usage (Implicit)
