## Name

VkPhysicalDevicePipelineRobustnessPropertiesEXT - Structure describing the default robustness behavior of a physical device

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDevicePipelineRobustnessPropertiesEXT` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_pipeline_robustness
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDevicePipelineRobustnessPropertiesEXT {
        VkStructureType                          sType;
        void*                                    pNext;
        VkPipelineRobustnessBufferBehaviorEXT    defaultRobustnessStorageBuffers;
        VkPipelineRobustnessBufferBehaviorEXT    defaultRobustnessUniformBuffers;
        VkPipelineRobustnessBufferBehaviorEXT    defaultRobustnessVertexInputs;
        VkPipelineRobustnessImageBehaviorEXT     defaultRobustnessImages;
    } VkPhysicalDevicePipelineRobustnessPropertiesEXT;

## Members

- `sType` is the type of this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `defaultRobustnessStorageBuffers` describes the behaviour of out of bounds accesses made to storage buffers when no robustness features are enabled

- `defaultRobustnessUniformBuffers` describes the behaviour of out of bounds accesses made to uniform buffers when no robustness features are enabled

- `defaultRobustnessVertexInputs` describes the behaviour of out of bounds accesses made to vertex input attributes when no robustness features are enabled

- `defaultRobustnessImages` describes the behaviour of out of bounds accesses made to images when no robustness features are enabled

## Description

Some implementations of Vulkan may be able to guarantee that certain types of accesses are always performed with robustness even when the Vulkan API’s robustness features are not explicitly enabled.

Even when an implementation reports that accesses to a given resource type are robust by default, it remains invalid to make an out of bounds access without requesting the appropriate robustness feature.

If the `VkPhysicalDevicePipelineRobustnessPropertiesEXT` structure is included in the `pNext` chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2, it is filled in with each corresponding implementation-dependent property.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDevicePipelineRobustnessPropertiesEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_PROPERTIES_EXT`
