# vkCreateIndirectExecutionSetEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkCreateIndirectExecutionSetEXT - Create an indirect execution set

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

Indirect Execution Sets are created by calling:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_device_generated_commands
    VkResult vkCreateIndirectExecutionSetEXT(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        const VkIndirectExecutionSetCreateInfoEXT*  pCreateInfo,
        const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
        VkIndirectExecutionSetEXT*                  pIndirectExecutionSet);

## Parameters

- `device` is the logical device that creates the indirect execution set.

- `pCreateInfo` is a pointer to a VkIndirectExecutionSetCreateInfoEXT structure containing parameters affecting creation of the indirect execution set.

- `pAllocator` controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

- `pIndirectExecutionSet` is a pointer to a VkIndirectExecutionSetEXT handle in which the resulting indirect execution set is returned.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkCreateIndirectExecutionSetEXT-deviceGeneratedCommands-11013
  The `VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesEXT`::`deviceGeneratedCommands` feature must be enabled

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkCreateIndirectExecutionSetEXT-device-parameter
  `device` must be a valid VkDevice handle

- VUID-vkCreateIndirectExecutionSetEXT-pCreateInfo-parameter
  `pCreateInfo` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkIndirectExecutionSetCreateInfoEXT structure

- VUID-vkCreateIndirectExecutionSetEXT-pAllocator-parameter
  If `pAllocator` is not `NULL`, `pAllocator` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure

- VUID-vkCreateIndirectExecutionSetEXT-pIndirectExecutionSet-parameter
  `pIndirectExecutionSet` must be a valid pointer to a VkIndirectExecutionSetEXT handle

- VUID-vkCreateIndirectExecutionSetEXT-device-queuecount
  The device must have been created with at least `1` queue

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

  - `VK_SUCCESS`

On failure, this command returns

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY`

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY`
