# VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo - Structure specifying parameters of a newly created pipeline dynamic state

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    typedef struct VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo {
        VkStructureType                      sType;
        const void*                          pNext;
        VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateFlags    flags;
        uint32_t                             dynamicStateCount;
        const VkDynamicState*                pDynamicStates;
    } VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo;

## Members

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

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

- `flags` is reserved for future use.

- `dynamicStateCount` is the number of elements in the `pDynamicStates` array.

- `pDynamicStates` is a pointer to an array of VkDynamicState values specifying which pieces of pipeline state will use the values from dynamic state commands rather than from pipeline state creation information.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo-pDynamicStates-01442
  Each element of `pDynamicStates` must be unique

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_DYNAMIC_STATE_CREATE_INFO`

- VUID-VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`

- VUID-VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo-flags-zerobitmask
  `flags` must be `0`

- VUID-VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo-pDynamicStates-parameter
  If `dynamicStateCount` is not `0`, `pDynamicStates` must be a valid pointer to an array of `dynamicStateCount` valid VkDynamicState values
