## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceShaderObjectFeaturesEXT - Structure describing whether shader objects can be supported by an implementation

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderObjectFeaturesEXT` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_shader_object
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceShaderObjectFeaturesEXT {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           shaderObject;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceShaderObjectFeaturesEXT;

## Members

This structure describes the following feature:

- `shaderObject` indicates whether the implementation supports shader objects.

## Description

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderObjectFeaturesEXT` 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. `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderObjectFeaturesEXT` can also be used in the `pNext` chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo to selectively enable these features.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceShaderObjectFeaturesEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_OBJECT_FEATURES_EXT`
