# vkDestroyPipelineLayout(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkDestroyPipelineLayout - Destroy a pipeline layout object

## C Specification

To destroy a pipeline layout, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    void vkDestroyPipelineLayout(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        VkPipelineLayout                            pipelineLayout,
        const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator);

## Parameters

- `device` is the logical device that destroys the pipeline layout.

- `pipelineLayout` is the pipeline layout to destroy.

- `pAllocator` controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkDestroyPipelineLayout-pipelineLayout-00299
  If `VkAllocationCallbacks` were provided when `pipelineLayout` was created, a compatible set of callbacks must be provided here

- VUID-vkDestroyPipelineLayout-pipelineLayout-00300
  If no `VkAllocationCallbacks` were provided when `pipelineLayout` was created, `pAllocator` must be `NULL`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkDestroyPipelineLayout-device-parameter
  `device` must be a valid VkDevice handle

- VUID-vkDestroyPipelineLayout-pipelineLayout-parameter
  If `pipelineLayout` is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, `pipelineLayout` must be a valid VkPipelineLayout handle

- VUID-vkDestroyPipelineLayout-pAllocator-parameter
  If `pAllocator` is not `NULL`, `pAllocator` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure

- VUID-vkDestroyPipelineLayout-pipelineLayout-parent
  If `pipelineLayout` is a valid handle, it must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from `device`

Host Synchronization

- Host access to `pipelineLayout` must be externally synchronized
