Description

This extension allows layered implementations such as ANGLE to modify the default behavior of VkPipelineCache to return only the incremental data from the previous call to vkGetPipelineCacheData. Application developers should avoid using this extension.

There is currently no specification language written for this extension. The links to APIs defined by the extension are to stubs that only include generated content such as API declarations and implicit valid usage statements.

This extension is only intended for use in specific embedded environments with known implementation details, and is therefore undocumented.

New Structures

• Extending PhysicalDeviceFeatures2, DeviceCreateInfo:

  • PhysicalDevicePipelineCacheIncrementalModeFeaturesSEC

New Enum Constants

• SEC_PIPELINE_CACHE_INCREMENTAL_MODE_EXTENSION_NAME

• SEC_PIPELINE_CACHE_INCREMENTAL_MODE_SPEC_VERSION

• Extending StructureType:

  • STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_PIPELINE_CACHE_INCREMENTAL_MODE_FEATURES_SEC

Stub API References

There is currently no specification language written for this type. This section acts only as placeholder and to avoid dead links in the specification and reference pages.

// Provided by VK_SEC_pipeline_cache_incremental_mode
typedef struct VkPhysicalDevicePipelineCacheIncrementalModeFeaturesSEC {
    VkStructureType    sType;
    void*              pNext;
    VkBool32           pipelineCacheIncrementalMode;
} VkPhysicalDevicePipelineCacheIncrementalModeFeaturesSEC;

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• sType must be STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_PIPELINE_CACHE_INCREMENTAL_MODE_FEATURES_SEC
