# vkDestroyPipelineCache(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkDestroyPipelineCache - Destroy a pipeline cache object

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

To destroy a pipeline cache, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    void vkDestroyPipelineCache(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        VkPipelineCache                             pipelineCache,
        const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator);

## Parameters

- `device` is the logical device that destroys the pipeline cache object.

- `pipelineCache` is the handle of the pipeline cache to destroy.

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

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkDestroyPipelineCache-pipelineCache-00771
  If `VkAllocationCallbacks` were provided when `pipelineCache` was created, a compatible set of callbacks must be provided here

- VUID-vkDestroyPipelineCache-pipelineCache-00772
  If no `VkAllocationCallbacks` were provided when `pipelineCache` was created, `pAllocator` must be `NULL`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

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

- VUID-vkDestroyPipelineCache-pipelineCache-parameter
  If `pipelineCache` is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, `pipelineCache` must be a valid VkPipelineCache handle

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

- VUID-vkDestroyPipelineCache-pipelineCache-parent
  If `pipelineCache` is a valid handle, it must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from `device`

Host Synchronization

- Host access to `pipelineCache` must be externally synchronized
