## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderFeaturesNV - Structure describing mesh shading features that can be supported by an implementation

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderFeaturesNV` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_NV_mesh_shader
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderFeaturesNV {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           taskShader;
        VkBool32           meshShader;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderFeaturesNV;

## Members

This structure describes the following features:

## Description

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

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

- `taskShader` specifies whether task shaders are supported. If this feature is not enabled, the `VK_SHADER_STAGE_TASK_BIT_NV` and `VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_TASK_SHADER_BIT_NV` enum values must not be used.

- `meshShader` specifies whether mesh shaders are supported. If this feature is not enabled, the `VK_SHADER_STAGE_MESH_BIT_NV` and `VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_MESH_SHADER_BIT_NV` enum values must not be used.

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderFeaturesNV` structure is included in the `pNext` chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. `VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderFeaturesNV` can also be used in the `pNext` chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo to selectively enable these features.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderFeaturesNV-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_MESH_SHADER_FEATURES_NV`
