VkPhysicalDeviceFaultFeaturesEXT(3)

# VkPhysicalDeviceFaultFeaturesEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceFaultFeaturesEXT - Structure indicating support for device fault reporting

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceFaultFeaturesEXT` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_device_fault
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceFaultFeaturesEXT {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           deviceFault;
        VkBool32           deviceFaultVendorBinary;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceFaultFeaturesEXT;

## Members

This structure describes the following features:

- `deviceFault` indicates that the implementation supports the reporting of device fault information.

- `deviceFaultVendorBinary` indicates that the implementation supports the generation of vendor-specific binary crash dumps. These may provide additional information when imported into vendor-specific external tools.

## Description

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceFaultFeaturesEXT` 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 `VkPhysicalDeviceFaultFeaturesEXT`, 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-VkPhysicalDeviceFaultFeaturesEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_FAULT_FEATURES_EXT
