vkCmdPushDescriptorSetWithTemplateKHR - Pushes descriptor updates into a command buffer using a descriptor update template

Valid Usage

• The pipelineBindPoint specified during the creation of the descriptor update template must be supported by the commandBuffer’s parent CommandPool’s queue family

• pData must be a valid pointer to a memory containing one or more valid instances of DescriptorImageInfo, DescriptorBufferInfo, or BufferView in a layout defined by descriptorUpdateTemplate when it was created with createDescriptorUpdateTemplateKHR

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• commandBuffer must be a valid CommandBuffer handle

• descriptorUpdateTemplate must be a valid DescriptorUpdateTemplate handle
• layout must be a valid PipelineLayout handle
• commandBuffer must be in the recording state
• The CommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must support graphics, or compute operations
• Each of commandBuffer, descriptorUpdateTemplate, and layout must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from the same Device

Host Synchronization

• Host access to commandBuffer must be externally synchronized

• Host access to the CommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must be externally synchronized

DebugReportObjectTypeEXT and Vulkan Handle Relationship

Note

The primary expected use of ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILED_EXT is for validation layer testing. It is not expected that an application would see this error code during normal use of the validation layers.
