C Specification
The VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderFeaturesEXT structure is defined as:
// Provided by VK_EXT_mesh_shader
typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderFeaturesEXT {
VkStructureType sType;
void* pNext;
VkBool32 taskShader;
VkBool32 meshShader;
VkBool32 multiviewMeshShader;
VkBool32 primitiveFragmentShadingRateMeshShader;
VkBool32 meshShaderQueries;
} VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderFeaturesEXT;Members
-
sTypeis a VkStructureType value identifying this structure. -
pNextisNULLor a pointer to a structure extending this structure. -
taskShaderspecifies whether task shaders are supported. If this feature is not enabled, the VK_SHADER_STAGE_TASK_BIT_EXT and VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_TASK_SHADER_BIT_EXT enum values must not be used. -
meshShaderspecifies whether mesh shaders are supported. If this feature is not enabled, the VK_SHADER_STAGE_MESH_BIT_EXT and VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_MESH_SHADER_BIT_EXT enum values must not be used. -
multiviewMeshShaderspecifies whether the implementation supportsmultiviewrendering within a render pass, with mesh shaders. If this feature is not enabled, then a pipeline compiled against a subpass with a non-zero view mask must not include a mesh shader. -
primitiveFragmentShadingRateMeshShaderindicates that the implementation supports the primitive fragment shading rate in mesh shaders. -
meshShaderQueriesindicates that the implementation supports creating query pools using the VK_QUERY_TYPE_MESH_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED_EXT query type and statistic queries containing the VK_QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTIC_TASK_SHADER_INVOCATIONS_BIT_EXT and VK_QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTIC_MESH_SHADER_INVOCATIONS_BIT_EXT flags
Description
If the VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderFeaturesEXT 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.
If the application wishes to use a VkDevice with any features
described by VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderFeaturesEXT, it must add an instance of the structure,
with the desired feature members set to VK_TRUE, to the pNext
chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo when creating the VkDevice.
The corresponding features of the VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderFeaturesNV
structure must match those in VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderFeaturesEXT.
