C Specification

Alternatively, to set descriptor buffer offsets in a command buffer, call:

// Provided by VK_KHR_maintenance6 with VK_EXT_descriptor_buffer
void vkCmdSetDescriptorBufferOffsets2EXT(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
    const VkSetDescriptorBufferOffsetsInfoEXT*  pSetDescriptorBufferOffsetsInfo);

Parameters

  • commandBuffer is the command buffer in which the descriptor buffer offsets will be set.

  • pSetDescriptorBufferOffsetsInfo is a pointer to a VkSetDescriptorBufferOffsetsInfoEXT structure.

Description

Valid Usage
  • VUID-vkCmdSetDescriptorBufferOffsets2EXT-descriptorBuffer-09470
    The descriptorBuffer feature must be enabled

  • VUID-vkCmdSetDescriptorBufferOffsets2EXT-pSetDescriptorBufferOffsetsInfo-09471
    Each bit in pSetDescriptorBufferOffsetsInfo->stageFlags must be a stage supported by the commandBuffer’s parent VkCommandPool’s queue family

Valid Usage (Implicit)
  • VUID-vkCmdSetDescriptorBufferOffsets2EXT-commandBuffer-parameter
    commandBuffer must be a valid VkCommandBuffer handle

  • VUID-vkCmdSetDescriptorBufferOffsets2EXT-pSetDescriptorBufferOffsetsInfo-parameter
    pSetDescriptorBufferOffsetsInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkSetDescriptorBufferOffsetsInfoEXT structure

  • VUID-vkCmdSetDescriptorBufferOffsets2EXT-commandBuffer-recording
    commandBuffer must be in the recording state

  • VUID-vkCmdSetDescriptorBufferOffsets2EXT-commandBuffer-cmdpool
    The VkCommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must support VK_QUEUE_COMPUTE_BIT, VK_QUEUE_DATA_GRAPH_BIT_ARM, or VK_QUEUE_GRAPHICS_BIT operations

  • VUID-vkCmdSetDescriptorBufferOffsets2EXT-videocoding
    This command must only be called outside of a video coding scope

Host Synchronization
  • Host access to commandBuffer must be externally synchronized

  • Host access to the VkCommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must be externally synchronized
