C Specification

When the VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorBufferPropertiesEXT::bufferlessPushDescriptors property is VK_FALSE, the VkBuffer handle of the buffer for push descriptors is passed in a VkDescriptorBufferBindingPushDescriptorBufferHandleEXT structure:

Warning
 This functionality is superseded by VK_EXT_descriptor_heap. See Legacy Functionality for more information. 
// Provided by VK_EXT_descriptor_buffer
typedef struct VkDescriptorBufferBindingPushDescriptorBufferHandleEXT {
    VkStructureType    sType;
    const void*        pNext;
    VkBuffer           buffer;
} VkDescriptorBufferBindingPushDescriptorBufferHandleEXT;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • buffer is the VkBuffer handle of the buffer for push descriptors.
