## C Specification

The `VkSubmitInfo2` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_3
    typedef struct VkSubmitInfo2 {
        VkStructureType                     sType;
        const void*                         pNext;
        VkSubmitFlags                       flags;
        uint32_t                            waitSemaphoreInfoCount;
        const VkSemaphoreSubmitInfo*        pWaitSemaphoreInfos;
        uint32_t                            commandBufferInfoCount;
        const VkCommandBufferSubmitInfo*    pCommandBufferInfos;
        uint32_t                            signalSemaphoreInfoCount;
        const VkSemaphoreSubmitInfo*        pSignalSemaphoreInfos;
    } VkSubmitInfo2;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_synchronization2
    typedef VkSubmitInfo2 VkSubmitInfo2KHR;

## Members

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

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

- `flags` is a bitmask of VkSubmitFlagBits.

- `waitSemaphoreInfoCount` is the number of elements in `pWaitSemaphoreInfos`.

- `pWaitSemaphoreInfos` is a pointer to an array of VkSemaphoreSubmitInfo structures defining semaphore wait operations.

- `commandBufferInfoCount` is the number of elements in `pCommandBufferInfos` and the number of command buffers to execute in the batch.

- `pCommandBufferInfos` is a pointer to an array of VkCommandBufferSubmitInfo structures describing command buffers to execute in the batch.

- `signalSemaphoreInfoCount` is the number of elements in `pSignalSemaphoreInfos`.

- `pSignalSemaphoreInfos` is a pointer to an array of VkSemaphoreSubmitInfo describing semaphore signal operations.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2-semaphore-03881
  If the same semaphore is used as the `semaphore` member of both an element of `pSignalSemaphoreInfos` and `pWaitSemaphoreInfos`, and that semaphore is a timeline semaphore, the `value` member of the `pSignalSemaphoreInfos` element must be greater than the `value` member of the `pWaitSemaphoreInfos` element

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2-semaphore-03882
  If the `semaphore` member of any element of `pSignalSemaphoreInfos` is a timeline semaphore, the `value` member of that element must have a value greater than the current value of the semaphore when the semaphore signal operation is executed

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2-semaphore-03883
  If the `semaphore` member of any element of `pSignalSemaphoreInfos` is a timeline semaphore, the `value` member of that element must have a value which does not differ from the current value of the semaphore or the value of any outstanding semaphore wait or signal operation on that semaphore by more than `maxTimelineSemaphoreValueDifference`

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2-semaphore-03884
  If the `semaphore` member of any element of `pWaitSemaphoreInfos` is a timeline semaphore, the `value` member of that element must have a value which does not differ from the current value of the semaphore or the value of any outstanding semaphore wait or signal operation on that semaphore by more than `maxTimelineSemaphoreValueDifference`

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2-flags-03886
  If `flags` includes `VK_SUBMIT_PROTECTED_BIT`, all elements of `pCommandBuffers` must be protected command buffers

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2-flags-03887
  If `flags` does not include `VK_SUBMIT_PROTECTED_BIT`, each element of `pCommandBuffers` must not be a protected command buffer

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2KHR-commandBuffer-06192
  If any `commandBuffer` member of an element of `pCommandBufferInfos` contains any resumed render pass instances, they must be suspended by a render pass instance earlier in submission order within `pCommandBufferInfos`

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2KHR-commandBuffer-06010
  If any `commandBuffer` member of an element of `pCommandBufferInfos` contains any suspended render pass instances, they must be resumed by a render pass instance later in submission order within `pCommandBufferInfos`

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2KHR-commandBuffer-06011
  If any `commandBuffer` member of an element of `pCommandBufferInfos` contains any suspended render pass instances, there must be no action or synchronization commands between that render pass instance and the render pass instance that resumes it

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2KHR-commandBuffer-06012
  If any `commandBuffer` member of an element of `pCommandBufferInfos` contains any suspended render pass instances, there must be no render pass instances between that render pass instance and the render pass instance that resumes it

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2KHR-variableSampleLocations-06013
  If the `variableSampleLocations` limit is not supported, and any `commandBuffer` member of an element of `pCommandBufferInfos` contains any suspended render pass instances, where a graphics pipeline has been bound, any pipelines bound in the render pass instance that resumes it, or any subsequent render pass instances that resume from that one and so on, must use the same sample locations

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_SUBMIT_INFO_2`

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2-pNext-pNext
  Each `pNext` member of any structure (including this one) in the `pNext` chain must be either `NULL` or a pointer to a valid instance of VkFrameBoundaryEXT, VkLatencySubmissionPresentIdNV, VkPerformanceQuerySubmitInfoKHR, VkWin32KeyedMutexAcquireReleaseInfoKHR, or VkWin32KeyedMutexAcquireReleaseInfoNV

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2-sType-unique
  The `sType` value of each struct in the `pNext` chain must be unique

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2-flags-parameter
  `flags` must be a valid combination of VkSubmitFlagBits values

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2-pWaitSemaphoreInfos-parameter
  If `waitSemaphoreInfoCount` is not `0`, `pWaitSemaphoreInfos` must be a valid pointer to an array of `waitSemaphoreInfoCount` valid VkSemaphoreSubmitInfo structures

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2-pCommandBufferInfos-parameter
  If `commandBufferInfoCount` is not `0`, `pCommandBufferInfos` must be a valid pointer to an array of `commandBufferInfoCount` valid VkCommandBufferSubmitInfo structures

- VUID-VkSubmitInfo2-pSignalSemaphoreInfos-parameter
  If `signalSemaphoreInfoCount` is not `0`, `pSignalSemaphoreInfos` must be a valid pointer to an array of `signalSemaphoreInfoCount` valid VkSemaphoreSubmitInfo structures
