C Specification

The list of potential descriptor types a given mutable descriptor can mutate to is passed in a VkMutableDescriptorTypeListEXT structure.

The VkMutableDescriptorTypeListEXT structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_EXT_mutable_descriptor_type
typedef struct VkMutableDescriptorTypeListEXT {
    uint32_t                   descriptorTypeCount;
    const VkDescriptorType*    pDescriptorTypes;
} VkMutableDescriptorTypeListEXT;
// Provided by VK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type
// Equivalent to VkMutableDescriptorTypeListEXT
typedef VkMutableDescriptorTypeListEXT VkMutableDescriptorTypeListVALVE;

Members

  • descriptorTypeCount is the number of elements in pDescriptorTypes.

  • pDescriptorTypes is NULL or a pointer to an array of descriptorTypeCount VkDescriptorType values defining which descriptor types a given binding may mutate to.

Description

Valid Usage
Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkMutableDescriptorTypeListEXT-pDescriptorTypes-parameter
    If descriptorTypeCount is not 0, pDescriptorTypes must be a valid pointer to an array of descriptorTypeCount valid VkDescriptorType values
