C Specification

The VkPhysicalDeviceBufferDeviceAddressAllocationAlignmentFeaturesVALVE structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_VALVE_buffer_device_address_allocation_alignment
typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceBufferDeviceAddressAllocationAlignmentFeaturesVALVE {
    VkStructureType    sType;
    void*              pNext;
    VkBool32           bufferDeviceAddressAllocationAlignment;
} VkPhysicalDeviceBufferDeviceAddressAllocationAlignmentFeaturesVALVE;

Members

This structure describes the following features:

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • bufferDeviceAddressAllocationAlignment indicates whether the implementation supports requesting a minimum alignment for buffer device addresses when allocating memory or creating sparse buffers.

Description

If the VkPhysicalDeviceBufferDeviceAddressAllocationAlignmentFeaturesVALVE 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 VkPhysicalDeviceBufferDeviceAddressAllocationAlignmentFeaturesVALVE, 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.
