public final class KHRVariablePointers extends java.lang.Object
TheVK_KHR_variable_pointers
extension allows implementations to indicate their level of support for theSPV_KHR_variable_pointers
SPIR-V extension. The SPIR-V extension allows shader modules to use invocation-private pointers into uniform and/or storage buffers, where the pointer values can be dynamic and non-uniform.The
SPV_KHR_variable_pointers
extension introduces two capabilities. The first,VariablePointersStorageBuffer
, must be supported by all implementations of this extension. The second,VariablePointers
, is optional.Promotion to Vulkan 1.1
All functionality in this extension is included in core Vulkan 1.1, with the KHR suffix omitted, however support for the
variablePointersStorageBuffer
feature is made optional. The original type, enum and command names are still available as aliases of the core functionality.- Name String
