## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceGraphicsPipelineLibraryPropertiesEXT - Structure describing additional properties of graphics pipeline libraries

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceGraphicsPipelineLibraryPropertiesEXT` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceGraphicsPipelineLibraryPropertiesEXT {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           graphicsPipelineLibraryFastLinking;
        VkBool32           graphicsPipelineLibraryIndependentInterpolationDecoration;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceGraphicsPipelineLibraryPropertiesEXT;

## Members

- `graphicsPipelineLibraryFastLinking` indicates whether fast linking of graphics pipelines is supported. If it is `VK_TRUE`, creating a graphics pipeline entirely from pipeline libraries without `VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_LINK_TIME_OPTIMIZATION_BIT_EXT` is comparable in cost to recording a command in a command buffer.

- `graphicsPipelineLibraryIndependentInterpolationDecoration` indicates whether `NoPerspective` and `Flat` interpolation decorations in the last vertex processing stage and the fragment shader are required to match when using graphics pipeline libraries. If it is `VK_TRUE`, the interpolation decorations do not need to match. If it is `VK_FALSE`, these decorations must either be present in both stages or neither stage in order for a given interface variable to match.

## Description

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceGraphicsPipelineLibraryPropertiesEXT` structure is included in the `pNext` chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2, it is filled in with each corresponding implementation-dependent property.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceGraphicsPipelineLibraryPropertiesEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_GRAPHICS_PIPELINE_LIBRARY_PROPERTIES_EXT`
