VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedFlagsFeaturesKHR(3)

# VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedFlagsFeaturesKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedFlagsFeaturesKHR - Structure describing whether the implementation supports extended flags functionality

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedFlagsFeaturesKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_extended_flags
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedFlagsFeaturesKHR {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           extendedFlags;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedFlagsFeaturesKHR;

## 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.

- `extendedFlags` indicates that the implementation supports the following:

- VkFormatProperties4KHR, extending VkFormatProperties2, and corresponding VkFormatFeatureFlagBits4KHR and VkFormatFeatureFlags4KHR types providing up to 64 new format feature flags.

- VkImageCreateFlags2CreateInfoKHR, extending structures passed to image create and query functions, and corresponding VkImageCreateFlagBits2KHR and VkImageCreateFlags2KHR types providing up to 32 new image create flags.

- VkImageUsageFlags2CreateInfoKHR, extending structures passed to image create and query functions, and corresponding VkImageUsageFlagBits2KHR and VkImageUsageFlags2KHR types providing up to 32 new image usage flags.

- The VkPipelineCreateFlags2CreateInfoKHR, VkPipelineCreateFlags2KHR, VkPipelineCreateFlagBits2KHR, VkBufferUsageFlags2CreateInfoKHR, VkBufferUsageFlags2KHR, and VkBufferUsageFlagBits2KHR types originally introduced by VK_KHR_maintenance5.

## Description

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedFlagsFeaturesKHR` 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 `VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedFlagsFeaturesKHR`, 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-VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedFlagsFeaturesKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_EXTENDED_FLAGS_FEATURES_KHR

Structure Chaining

Extends the structures

  - VkDeviceCreateInfo

  - VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2
