# VkBindImageMemorySwapchainInfoKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkBindImageMemorySwapchainInfoKHR - Structure specifying swapchain image memory to bind to

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

If the `pNext` chain of VkBindImageMemoryInfo includes a `VkBindImageMemorySwapchainInfoKHR` structure, then that structure includes a swapchain handle and image index indicating that the image will be bound to memory from that swapchain.

The `VkBindImageMemorySwapchainInfoKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1 with VK_KHR_swapchain, VK_KHR_device_group with VK_KHR_swapchain
    typedef struct VkBindImageMemorySwapchainInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        VkSwapchainKHR     swapchain;
        uint32_t           imageIndex;
    } VkBindImageMemorySwapchainInfoKHR;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `swapchain` is VK_NULL_HANDLE or a swapchain handle.

- `imageIndex` is an image index within `swapchain`.

## Description

If `swapchain` is not `NULL`, the `swapchain` and `imageIndex` are used to determine the memory that the image is bound to, instead of `memory` and `memoryOffset`.

Memory can be bound to a swapchain and use the `pDeviceIndices` or `pSplitInstanceBindRegions` members of VkBindImageMemoryDeviceGroupInfo.

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkBindImageMemorySwapchainInfoKHR-imageIndex-01644
  `imageIndex` must be less than the number of images in `swapchain`

- VUID-VkBindImageMemorySwapchainInfoKHR-swapchain-07756
  If the `swapchain` has been created with `VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_DEFERRED_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_BIT_KHR`, `imageIndex` must be one that has previously been returned by vkAcquireNextImageKHR or vkAcquireNextImage2KHR

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkBindImageMemorySwapchainInfoKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_BIND_IMAGE_MEMORY_SWAPCHAIN_INFO_KHR`

- VUID-VkBindImageMemorySwapchainInfoKHR-swapchain-parameter
  `swapchain` must be a valid VkSwapchainKHR handle

Host Synchronization

- Host access to `swapchain` must be externally synchronized
