VkPhysicalDeviceImageRobustnessFeatures(3)

# VkPhysicalDeviceImageRobustnessFeatures(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceImageRobustnessFeatures - Structure describing the out-of-bounds behavior for an implementation

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceImageRobustnessFeatures` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_3
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceImageRobustnessFeatures {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           robustImageAccess;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceImageRobustnessFeatures;

    // Provided by VK_EXT_image_robustness
    // Equivalent to VkPhysicalDeviceImageRobustnessFeatures
    typedef VkPhysicalDeviceImageRobustnessFeatures VkPhysicalDeviceImageRobustnessFeaturesEXT;

## Members

This structure describes the following feature:

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

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

## Description

- `robustImageAccess` enables https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/specs/latest/html/vkspec.html#shaders-robust-image-access guarantees for shader image accesses.

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceImageRobustnessFeatures` 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 `VkPhysicalDeviceImageRobustnessFeatures`, 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.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceImageRobustnessFeatures-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_IMAGE_ROBUSTNESS_FEATURES

Structure Chaining

Extends the structures

  - VkDeviceCreateInfo

  - VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2
