Description

This extension allows applications to reduce descriptor memory footprint by allowing a descriptor to be able to mutate to a given list of descriptor types depending on which descriptor types are written into, or copied into a descriptor set.

The main use case this extension intends to address is descriptor indexing with DESCRIPTOR_BINDING_VARIABLE_DESCRIPTOR_COUNT_BIT where the descriptor types are completely generic, as this means applications can allocate one large descriptor set, rather than having one large descriptor set per descriptor type, which significantly bloats descriptor memory usage and causes performance issues.

This extension also adds a mechanism to declare that a descriptor pool, and therefore the descriptor sets that are allocated from it, reside only in host memory; as such these descriptors can only be updated/copied, but not bound.

These features together allow much more efficient emulation of the raw D3D12 binding model. This extension is primarily intended to be useful for API layering efforts.

VkPhysicalDeviceMutableDescriptorTypeFeaturesVALVE - Structure describing whether the mutable descriptor type is supported

Members

The members of the PhysicalDeviceMutableDescriptorTypeFeaturesVALVE structure describe the following features:

Description

mutableDescriptorType indicates that the implementation must support using the DescriptorType of DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_VALVE with at least the following descriptor types, where any combination of the types must be supported:

Additionally, mutableDescriptorType indicates that:
- Non-uniform descriptor indexing must be supported if all descriptor types in a MutableDescriptorTypeListVALVE for DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_VALVE have the corresponding non-uniform indexing features enabled in PhysicalDeviceDescriptorIndexingFeatures.
- DESCRIPTOR_BINDING_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_BIT with descriptorType of DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_VALVE relaxes the list of required descriptor types to the descriptor types which have the corresponding update-after-bind feature enabled in PhysicalDeviceDescriptorIndexingFeatures.
- Dynamically uniform descriptor indexing must be supported if all descriptor types in a MutableDescriptorTypeListVALVE for DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_VALVE have the corresponding dynamic indexing features enabled.
- DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_HOST_ONLY_POOL_BIT_VALVE must be supported.
- DESCRIPTOR_POOL_CREATE_HOST_ONLY_BIT_VALVE must be supported.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

sType must be STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_MUTABLE_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_FEATURES_VALVE

VkMutableDescriptorTypeListVALVE - Structure describing descriptor types that a given descriptor may mutate to

Valid Usage

descriptorTypeCount must not be 0 if the corresponding binding is of DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_VALVE

pDescriptorTypes must be a valid pointer to an array of descriptorTypeCount valid, unique DescriptorType values if the given binding is of DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_VALVE type
descriptorTypeCount must be 0 if the corresponding binding is not of DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_VALVE
pDescriptorTypes must not contain DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_VALVE
pDescriptorTypes must not contain DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_BUFFER_DYNAMIC
pDescriptorTypes must not contain DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_BUFFER_DYNAMIC
pDescriptorTypes must not contain DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_INLINE_UNIFORM_BLOCK_EXT

Valid Usage (Implicit)

If descriptorTypeCount is not 0, pDescriptorTypes must be a valid pointer to an array of descriptorTypeCount valid DescriptorType values

Description

If mutableDescriptorTypeListCount is zero or if this structure is not included in the pNext chain, the MutableDescriptorTypeListVALVE for each element is considered to be zero or NULL for each member. Otherwise, the descriptor set layout binding at DescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo::pBindings[i] uses the descriptor type lists in MutableDescriptorTypeCreateInfoVALVE::pMutableDescriptorTypeLists[i].

Valid Usage (Implicit)

sType must be STRUCTURE_TYPE_MUTABLE_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_CREATE_INFO_VALVE

If mutableDescriptorTypeListCount is not 0, pMutableDescriptorTypeLists must be a valid pointer to an array of mutableDescriptorTypeListCount valid MutableDescriptorTypeListVALVE structures
