C Specification
The VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointersFeatures structure is defined as:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointersFeatures {
VkStructureType sType;
void* pNext;
VkBool32 variablePointersStorageBuffer;
VkBool32 variablePointers;
} VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointersFeatures;
or the equivalent
// Provided by VK_KHR_variable_pointers
typedef VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointersFeatures VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointersFeaturesKHR;
Members
The members of the VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointersFeatures structure
describe the following features:
Description
-
variablePointersStorageBufferspecifies whether the implementation supports the SPIR-VVariablePointersStorageBuffercapability. When this feature is not enabled, shader modules must not declare theSPV_KHR_variable_pointersextension or theVariablePointersStorageBuffercapability. -
variablePointersspecifies whether the implementation supports the SPIR-VVariablePointerscapability. When this feature is not enabled, shader modules must not declare theVariablePointerscapability.
If the VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointersFeatures structure is included
in the pNext chain of VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled
with values indicating whether each feature is supported.
VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointersFeatures can also be included in the
pNext chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo to enable the features.
