AllocationCallbacks, Device, PipelineLayout, PipelineLayoutCreateInfo

A convenience wrapper to make a compatible pair of calls to createPipelineLayout and destroyPipelineLayout

To ensure that destroyPipelineLayout is always called: pass bracket (or the allocate function from your favourite resource management library) as the last argument. To just extract the pair pass (,) as the last argument.

vkDestroyPipelineLayout - Destroy a pipeline layout object

Valid Usage

• If AllocationCallbacks were provided when pipelineLayout was created, a compatible set of callbacks must be provided here

• If no AllocationCallbacks were provided when pipelineLayout was created, pAllocator must be NULL
• pipelineLayout must not have been passed to any vkCmd* command for any command buffers that are still in the recording state when destroyPipelineLayout is called

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• device must be a valid Device handle

• If pipelineLayout is not NULL_HANDLE, pipelineLayout must be a valid PipelineLayout handle
• If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid AllocationCallbacks structure
• If pipelineLayout is a valid handle, it must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from device

Host Synchronization

• Host access to pipelineLayout must be externally synchronized
