# VkPipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR - Structure specifying pipeline libraries to use when creating a pipeline

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_pipeline_library
    typedef struct VkPipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType      sType;
        const void*          pNext;
        uint32_t             libraryCount;
        const VkPipeline*    pLibraries;
    } VkPipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR;

## Members

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

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

- `libraryCount` is the number of pipeline libraries in `pLibraries`.

- `pLibraries` is a pointer to an array of VkPipeline structures specifying pipeline libraries to use when creating a pipeline.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkPipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR-pLibraries-03381
  Each element of `pLibraries` must have been created with `VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_LIBRARY_BIT_KHR`

- VUID-VkPipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR-pLibraries-06855
  If any library in `pLibraries` was created with a shader stage with VkPipelineShaderStageModuleIdentifierCreateInfoEXT and `identifierSize` not equal to 0, the pipeline must be created with the `VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_FAIL_ON_PIPELINE_COMPILE_REQUIRED_BIT` flag set

- VUID-VkPipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR-pLibraries-08096
  If any element of `pLibraries` was created with `VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT`, all elements must have been created with `VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_BIT_EXT`

- VUID-VkPipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR-pipeline-07404
  If `pipeline` is being created with `VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_NO_PROTECTED_ACCESS_BIT`, every element of `pLibraries` must have been created with `VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_NO_PROTECTED_ACCESS_BIT`

- VUID-VkPipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR-pipeline-07405
  If `pipeline` is being created without `VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_NO_PROTECTED_ACCESS_BIT`, every element of `pLibraries` must have been created without `VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_NO_PROTECTED_ACCESS_BIT`

- VUID-VkPipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR-pipeline-07406
  If `pipeline` is being created with `VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_PROTECTED_ACCESS_ONLY_BIT`, every element of `pLibraries` must have been created with `VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_PROTECTED_ACCESS_ONLY_BIT`

- VUID-VkPipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR-pipeline-07407
  If `pipeline` is being created without `VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_PROTECTED_ACCESS_ONLY_BIT`, every element of `pLibraries` must have been created without `VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_PROTECTED_ACCESS_ONLY_BIT`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_LIBRARY_CREATE_INFO_KHR`

- VUID-VkPipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR-pLibraries-parameter
  If `libraryCount` is not `0`, `pLibraries` must be a valid pointer to an array of `libraryCount` valid VkPipeline handles
