VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedDynamicStateFeaturesEXT(3)

# VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedDynamicStateFeaturesEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedDynamicStateFeaturesEXT - Structure describing what extended dynamic state can be used

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedDynamicStateFeaturesEXT` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedDynamicStateFeaturesEXT {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           extendedDynamicState;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedDynamicStateFeaturesEXT;

## 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.

- `extendedDynamicState` indicates that the implementation supports the following dynamic states:

  - VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_CULL_MODE

  - VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_FRONT_FACE

  - VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY

  - VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_VIEWPORT_WITH_COUNT

  - VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_SCISSOR_WITH_COUNT

  - VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_VERTEX_INPUT_BINDING_STRIDE

  - VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_DEPTH_TEST_ENABLE

  - VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_DEPTH_WRITE_ENABLE

  - VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_DEPTH_COMPARE_OP

  - VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_DEPTH_BOUNDS_TEST_ENABLE

  - VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_STENCIL_TEST_ENABLE

  - VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_STENCIL_OP

## Description

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedDynamicStateFeaturesEXT` 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 `VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedDynamicStateFeaturesEXT`, 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-VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedDynamicStateFeaturesEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_EXTENDED_DYNAMIC_STATE_FEATURES_EXT

Structure Chaining

Extends the structures

  - VkDeviceCreateInfo

  - VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2
