VkBufferCreateFlagBits - Bitmask specifying additional parameters of a buffer

Description

• BUFFER_CREATE_SPARSE_BINDING_BIT specifies that the buffer will be backed using sparse memory binding.

• BUFFER_CREATE_SPARSE_RESIDENCY_BIT specifies that the buffer can be partially backed using sparse memory binding. Buffers created with this flag must also be created with the BUFFER_CREATE_SPARSE_BINDING_BIT flag.
• BUFFER_CREATE_SPARSE_ALIASED_BIT specifies that the buffer will be backed using sparse memory binding with memory ranges that might also simultaneously be backing another buffer (or another portion of the same buffer). Buffers created with this flag must also be created with the BUFFER_CREATE_SPARSE_BINDING_BIT flag.
• BUFFER_CREATE_PROTECTED_BIT specifies that the buffer is a protected buffer.
• BUFFER_CREATE_DEVICE_ADDRESS_CAPTURE_REPLAY_BIT specifies that the buffer’s address can be saved and reused on a subsequent run (e.g. for trace capture and replay), see BufferOpaqueCaptureAddressCreateInfo for more detail.
• BUFFER_CREATE_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_CAPTURE_REPLAY_BIT_EXT specifies that the buffer can be used with descriptor buffers when capturing and replaying (e.g. for trace capture and replay), see OpaqueCaptureDescriptorDataCreateInfoEXT for more detail.
• VK_BUFFER_CREATE_VIDEO_PROFILE_INDEPENDENT_BIT_KHR specifies that the buffer can be used in video coding operations without having to specify at buffer creation time the set of video profiles the buffer will be used with.

See Sparse Resource Features and Physical Device Features for details of the sparse memory features supported on a device.
