# VkPhysicalDeviceShaderTerminateInvocationFeatures(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceShaderTerminateInvocationFeatures - Structure describing support for the SPIR-V code:SPV_KHR_terminate_invocation extension

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderTerminateInvocationFeatures` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_3
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceShaderTerminateInvocationFeatures {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           shaderTerminateInvocation;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceShaderTerminateInvocationFeatures;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_shader_terminate_invocation
    typedef VkPhysicalDeviceShaderTerminateInvocationFeatures VkPhysicalDeviceShaderTerminateInvocationFeaturesKHR;

## Members

This structure describes the following feature:

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

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

## Description

- `shaderTerminateInvocation` specifies whether the implementation supports SPIR-V modules that use the `SPV_KHR_terminate_invocation` extension.

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderTerminateInvocationFeatures` structure is included in the `pNext` chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. If the application wishes to use a VkDevice with any features described by `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderTerminateInvocationFeatures`, it must add an instance of the structure, with the desired feature members set to `VK_TRUE`, to the `pNext` chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo when creating the VkDevice.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceShaderTerminateInvocationFeatures-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_TERMINATE_INVOCATION_FEATURES`
