Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

To destroy a previously created external compute queue call:

    // Provided by VK_NV_external_compute_queue
    void vkDestroyExternalComputeQueueNV(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        VkExternalComputeQueueNV                    externalQueue,
        const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator);

## Parameters

- `device` is the logical device that destroys the external queue.

- `externalQueue` is the VkExternalComputeQueueNV to destroy.

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

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

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

- VUID-vkDestroyExternalComputeQueueNV-externalQueue-parameter
  `externalQueue` must be a valid VkExternalComputeQueueNV handle

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

- VUID-vkDestroyExternalComputeQueueNV-externalQueue-parent
  `externalQueue` must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from `device`
