VkDevicePipelineBinaryInternalCacheControlKHR(3)

# VkDevicePipelineBinaryInternalCacheControlKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkDevicePipelineBinaryInternalCacheControlKHR - Structure specifying parameter to disable the internal pipeline cache

## C Specification

To disable the implementation’s internal pipeline cache, add a VkDevicePipelineBinaryInternalCacheControlKHR structure to the `pNext` chain of the VkDeviceCreateInfo structure.

    // Provided by VK_KHR_pipeline_binary
    typedef struct VkDevicePipelineBinaryInternalCacheControlKHR {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        VkBool32           disableInternalCache;
    } VkDevicePipelineBinaryInternalCacheControlKHR;

## Members

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

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

- `disableInternalCache` specifies whether or not to disable the implementation’s internal pipeline cache.

## Description

If the `VkDeviceCreateInfo`::`pNext` chain does not include this structure, then `disableInternalCache` defaults to VK_FALSE.

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkDevicePipelineBinaryInternalCacheControlKHR-disableInternalCache-09602
  If VkPhysicalDevicePipelineBinaryPropertiesKHR::`pipelineBinaryInternalCacheControl` is VK_FALSE, `disableInternalCache` must be VK_FALSE

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkDevicePipelineBinaryInternalCacheControlKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DEVICE_PIPELINE_BINARY_INTERNAL_CACHE_CONTROL_KHR

Structure Chaining

Extends the structure

  - VkDeviceCreateInfo
