C Specification
The VkCommandBufferInheritanceViewportScissorInfoNV structure is
defined as:
// Provided by VK_NV_inherited_viewport_scissor
typedef struct VkCommandBufferInheritanceViewportScissorInfoNV {
VkStructureType sType;
const void* pNext;
VkBool32 viewportScissor2D;
uint32_t viewportDepthCount;
const VkViewport* pViewportDepths;
} VkCommandBufferInheritanceViewportScissorInfoNV;
Members
-
sTypeis a VkStructureType value identifying this structure. -
pNextisNULLor a pointer to a structure extending this structure. -
viewportScissor2Dspecifies whether the listed dynamic state is inherited. -
viewportDepthCountspecifies the maximum number of viewports to inherit. WhenviewportScissor2DisVK_FALSE, the behavior is as if this value is zero. -
pViewportDepthsis a pointer to a VkViewport structure specifying the expected depth range for each inherited viewport.
Description
If the pNext chain of VkCommandBufferInheritanceInfo includes a
VkCommandBufferInheritanceViewportScissorInfoNV structure, then that
structure controls whether a command buffer can inherit the following state
from other command buffers:
-
VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_SCISSOR -
VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_SCISSOR_WITH_COUNT -
VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_DISCARD_RECTANGLE_EXT -
VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_DISCARD_RECTANGLE_ENABLE_EXT -
VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_DISCARD_RECTANGLE_MODE_EXT
as well as the following state, with restrictions on inherited depth values and viewport count:
-
VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_VIEWPORT -
VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_VIEWPORT_WITH_COUNT
If viewportScissor2D is VK_FALSE, then the command buffer does
not inherit the listed dynamic state, and should set this state itself.
If this structure is not present, the behavior is as if
viewportScissor2D is VK_FALSE.
If viewportScissor2D is VK_TRUE, then the listed dynamic state
is inherited, and the command buffer must not set this
state, except that the viewport and scissor count may be set by binding a
graphics pipeline that does not specify this state as dynamic.
|
Note
Due to this restriction, applications should ensure either all or none of the graphics pipelines bound in this secondary command buffer use dynamic viewport/scissor counts. |
When the command buffer is executed as part of a the execution of a vkCmdExecuteCommands command, the inherited state (if enabled) is determined by the following procedure, performed separately for each dynamic state, and separately for each value for dynamic state that consists of multiple values (e.g. multiple viewports).
-
With i being the index of the executed command buffer in the
pCommandBuffersarray of vkCmdExecuteCommands, if i > 0 and any secondary command buffer from index 0 to i-1 modifies the state, the inherited state is provisionally set to the final value set by the last such secondary command buffer. Binding a graphics pipeline defining the state statically is equivalent to setting the state to an undefined value. -
Otherwise, the tentatative inherited state is that of the primary command buffer at the point the vkCmdExecuteCommands command was recorded; if the state is undefined, then so is the provisional inherited state.
-
If the provisional inherited state is an undefined value, then the state is not inherited.
-
If the provisional inherited state is a viewport, with n being its viewport index, then if n ≥
viewportDepthCount, or if either VkViewport::minDepthor VkViewport::maxDepthare not equal to the respective values of the nth element ofpViewportDepths, then the state is not inherited. -
If the provisional inherited state passes both checks, then it becomes the actual inherited state.

Note
There is no support for inheriting dynamic state from a secondary command
buffer executed as part of a different |
