Class EXTMetalSurface

java.lang.Object

org.lwjgl.vulkan.EXTMetalSurface

public class EXTMetalSurface
extends java.lang.Object

The VK_EXT_metal_surface extension is an instance extension. It provides a mechanism to create a VkSurfaceKHR object (defined by the VK_KHR_surface extension) from dlink:CAMetalLayer, which is the native rendering surface of Apple's Metal framework.

                                          VkMetalSurfaceCreateInfoEXT pCreateInfo,
                                          @Nullable

                                          java.nio.LongBuffer pSurface)

Create a VkSurfaceKHR object for CAMetalLayer.

C Specification

To create a VkSurfaceKHR object for a dlink:CAMetalLayer, call:

 VkResult vkCreateMetalSurfaceEXT(
     VkInstance                                  instance,
     const VkMetalSurfaceCreateInfoEXT*          pCreateInfo,
     const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
     VkSurfaceKHR*                               pSurface);

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• instance must be a valid VkInstance handle
• pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkMetalSurfaceCreateInfoEXT structure
• If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure
• pSurface must be a valid pointer to a VkSurfaceKHR handle

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

• SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

• ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY
• ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY
• ERROR_NATIVE_WINDOW_IN_USE_KHR

VkAllocationCallbacks, VkMetalSurfaceCreateInfoEXT

Parameters:

instance - the instance with which to associate the surface.

pCreateInfo - a pointer to a VkMetalSurfaceCreateInfoEXT structure specifying parameters affecting the creation of the surface object.

pAllocator - the allocator used for host memory allocated for the surface object when there is no more specific allocator available (see Memory Allocation).

pSurface - a pointer to a VkSurfaceKHR handle in which the created surface object is returned.
