VkIndirectExecutionSetShaderLayoutInfoEXT(3)

# VkIndirectExecutionSetShaderLayoutInfoEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkIndirectExecutionSetShaderLayoutInfoEXT - Struct specifying descriptor layout parameters of a newly created indirect execution set containing only shader objects

## C Specification

The `VkIndirectExecutionSetShaderLayoutInfoEXT` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_device_generated_commands
    typedef struct VkIndirectExecutionSetShaderLayoutInfoEXT {
        VkStructureType                 sType;
        const void*                     pNext;
        uint32_t                        setLayoutCount;
        const VkDescriptorSetLayout*    pSetLayouts;
    } VkIndirectExecutionSetShaderLayoutInfoEXT;

## Members

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

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

- `setLayoutCount` is the number of members in the `pSetLayouts` array

- `pSetLayouts` is a pointer to an array containing VkDescriptorSetLayout objects used by the shader stage. The implementation must not access these objects outside of the duration of the command this structure is passed to.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkIndirectExecutionSetShaderLayoutInfoEXT-pSetLayouts-11024
  All members of `pSetLayouts` must not contain descriptors of type VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_BUFFER_DYNAMIC or VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_BUFFER_DYNAMIC

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkIndirectExecutionSetShaderLayoutInfoEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_INDIRECT_EXECUTION_SET_SHADER_LAYOUT_INFO_EXT

- VUID-VkIndirectExecutionSetShaderLayoutInfoEXT-pSetLayouts-parameter
  If `setLayoutCount` is not `0`, `pSetLayouts` must be a valid pointer to an array of `setLayoutCount` valid or VK_NULL_HANDLE VkDescriptorSetLayout handles
