VkTimelineSemaphoreSubmitInfo(3)

# VkTimelineSemaphoreSubmitInfo(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkTimelineSemaphoreSubmitInfo - Structure specifying signal and wait values for timeline semaphores

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

To specify the values to use when waiting for and signaling semaphores created with a VkSemaphoreType of `VK_SEMAPHORE_TYPE_TIMELINE`, add a VkTimelineSemaphoreSubmitInfo structure to the `pNext` chain of the VkSubmitInfo structure when using vkQueueSubmit or the VkBindSparseInfo structure when using vkQueueBindSparse . The `VkTimelineSemaphoreSubmitInfo` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_2
    typedef struct VkTimelineSemaphoreSubmitInfo {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        uint32_t           waitSemaphoreValueCount;
        const uint64_t*    pWaitSemaphoreValues;
        uint32_t           signalSemaphoreValueCount;
        const uint64_t*    pSignalSemaphoreValues;
    } VkTimelineSemaphoreSubmitInfo;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_timeline_semaphore
    typedef VkTimelineSemaphoreSubmitInfo VkTimelineSemaphoreSubmitInfoKHR;

## Members

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

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

- `waitSemaphoreValueCount` is the number of semaphore wait values specified in `pWaitSemaphoreValues`.

- `pWaitSemaphoreValues` is a pointer to an array of `waitSemaphoreValueCount` values for the corresponding semaphores in VkSubmitInfo::`pWaitSemaphores` to wait for.

- `signalSemaphoreValueCount` is the number of semaphore signal values specified in `pSignalSemaphoreValues`.

- `pSignalSemaphoreValues` is a pointer to an array `signalSemaphoreValueCount` values for the corresponding semaphores in VkSubmitInfo::`pSignalSemaphores` to set when signaled.

## Description

If the semaphore in VkSubmitInfo::`pWaitSemaphores` or VkSubmitInfo::`pSignalSemaphores` corresponding to an entry in `pWaitSemaphoreValues` or `pSignalSemaphoreValues` respectively was not created with a VkSemaphoreType of `VK_SEMAPHORE_TYPE_TIMELINE`, the implementation must ignore the value in the `pWaitSemaphoreValues` or `pSignalSemaphoreValues` entry.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkTimelineSemaphoreSubmitInfo-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_TIMELINE_SEMAPHORE_SUBMIT_INFO`

- VUID-VkTimelineSemaphoreSubmitInfo-pWaitSemaphoreValues-parameter
  If `waitSemaphoreValueCount` is not `0`, and `pWaitSemaphoreValues` is not `NULL`, `pWaitSemaphoreValues` must be a valid pointer to an array of `waitSemaphoreValueCount` `uint64_t` values

- VUID-VkTimelineSemaphoreSubmitInfo-pSignalSemaphoreValues-parameter
  If `signalSemaphoreValueCount` is not `0`, and `pSignalSemaphoreValues` is not `NULL`, `pSignalSemaphoreValues` must be a valid pointer to an array of `signalSemaphoreValueCount` `uint64_t` values
