VKCREATEBUFFER(3)

NAME
vkCreateBuffer - Create a new buffer object.

C SPECIFICATION

To create buffers, call:

    VkResult vkCreateBuffer(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        const VkBufferCreateInfo*                   pCreateInfo,
        const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
        VkBuffer*                                   pBuffer);

PARAMETERS

    • device is the logical device that creates the buffer object.

    • pCreateInfo is a pointer to an instance of the VkBufferCreateInfo structure containing parameters affecting creation of the buffer.

    • pAllocator controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

    • pBuffer points to a VkBuffer handle in which the resulting buffer object is returned.

DESCRIPTION

VALID USAGE

    • device must be a valid VkDevice handle

    • pCreateInfo must be a pointer to a valid VkBufferCreateInfo structure

    • If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure

    • pBuffer must be a pointer to a VkBuffer handle

    • If the flags member of pCreateInfo includes VK_BUFFER_CREATE_SPARSE_BINDING_BIT, creating this VkBuffer must not cause the total required sparse memory for all currently valid sparse resources on the device to exceed VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::sparseAddressSpaceSize

RETURN CODES

On success, this command returns

        • VK_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

        • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

        • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY
