C Specification

To create a Vulkan instance with a specific configuration of layer settings, add VkLayerSettingsCreateInfoEXT structures to the pNext chain of the VkInstanceCreateInfo structure, specifying the settings to be configured.

// Provided by VK_EXT_layer_settings
typedef struct VkLayerSettingsCreateInfoEXT {
    VkStructureType             sType;
    const void*                 pNext;
    uint32_t                    settingCount;
    const VkLayerSettingEXT*    pSettings;
} VkLayerSettingsCreateInfoEXT;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • settingCount is the number of settings to configure.

  • pSettings is a pointer to an array of settingCount VkLayerSettingEXT values specifying the settings to be configured.
