VkPipelineRobustnessBufferBehavior(3)

# VkPipelineRobustnessBufferBehavior(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPipelineRobustnessBufferBehavior - Enum controlling the robustness of buffer accesses in a pipeline stage

## C Specification

Possible values of the `storageBuffers`, `uniformBuffers`, and `vertexInputs` members of VkPipelineRobustnessCreateInfo are:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_4
    typedef enum VkPipelineRobustnessBufferBehavior {
        VK_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_BUFFER_BEHAVIOR_DEVICE_DEFAULT = 0,
        VK_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_BUFFER_BEHAVIOR_DISABLED = 1,
        VK_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_BUFFER_BEHAVIOR_ROBUST_BUFFER_ACCESS = 2,
        VK_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_BUFFER_BEHAVIOR_ROBUST_BUFFER_ACCESS_2 = 3,
      // Provided by VK_EXT_pipeline_robustness
        VK_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_BUFFER_BEHAVIOR_DEVICE_DEFAULT_EXT = VK_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_BUFFER_BEHAVIOR_DEVICE_DEFAULT,
      // Provided by VK_EXT_pipeline_robustness
        VK_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_BUFFER_BEHAVIOR_DISABLED_EXT = VK_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_BUFFER_BEHAVIOR_DISABLED,
      // Provided by VK_EXT_pipeline_robustness
        VK_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_BUFFER_BEHAVIOR_ROBUST_BUFFER_ACCESS_EXT = VK_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_BUFFER_BEHAVIOR_ROBUST_BUFFER_ACCESS,
      // Provided by VK_EXT_pipeline_robustness
        VK_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_BUFFER_BEHAVIOR_ROBUST_BUFFER_ACCESS_2_EXT = VK_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_BUFFER_BEHAVIOR_ROBUST_BUFFER_ACCESS_2,
    } VkPipelineRobustnessBufferBehavior;

    // Provided by VK_EXT_pipeline_robustness
    // Equivalent to VkPipelineRobustnessBufferBehavior
    typedef VkPipelineRobustnessBufferBehavior VkPipelineRobustnessBufferBehaviorEXT;

## Description

- VK_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_BUFFER_BEHAVIOR_DEVICE_DEFAULT specifies that out of bounds buffer accesses follow the behavior of robust buffer access features enabled for the device.

- VK_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_BUFFER_BEHAVIOR_DISABLED specifies that buffer accesses must not be out of bounds.

- VK_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_BUFFER_BEHAVIOR_ROBUST_BUFFER_ACCESS specifies that buffer accesses conform to https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/specs/latest/html/vkspec.html#shaders-robust-buffer-access guarantees.

- VK_PIPELINE_ROBUSTNESS_BUFFER_BEHAVIOR_ROBUST_BUFFER_ACCESS_2 specifies that buffer accesses conform to https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/specs/latest/html/vkspec.html#shaders-robust-buffer-access2 guarantees.
