C Specification

Bits which can be set in VkAttachmentDescription::flags, describing additional properties of the attachment, are:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
typedef enum VkAttachmentDescriptionFlagBits {
    VK_ATTACHMENT_DESCRIPTION_MAY_ALIAS_BIT = 0x00000001,
  // Provided by VK_KHR_maintenance10
    VK_ATTACHMENT_DESCRIPTION_RESOLVE_SKIP_TRANSFER_FUNCTION_BIT_KHR = 0x00000002,
  // Provided by VK_KHR_maintenance10
    VK_ATTACHMENT_DESCRIPTION_RESOLVE_ENABLE_TRANSFER_FUNCTION_BIT_KHR = 0x00000004,
} VkAttachmentDescriptionFlagBits;

Description

  • VK_ATTACHMENT_DESCRIPTION_MAY_ALIAS_BIT specifies that the attachment aliases the same device memory as other attachments.

  • VK_ATTACHMENT_DESCRIPTION_RESOLVE_SKIP_TRANSFER_FUNCTION_BIT_KHR specifies that resolve operations happening to an sRGB encoded attachment must not convert samples from nonlinear to linear before averaging.

  • VK_ATTACHMENT_DESCRIPTION_RESOLVE_ENABLE_TRANSFER_FUNCTION_BIT_KHR specifies that resolve operations happening to an sRGB encoded attachment must convert samples from nonlinear to linear before averaging.
