# VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryPriorityFeaturesEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryPriorityFeaturesEXT - Structure describing memory priority features that can be supported by an implementation

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryPriorityFeaturesEXT` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_memory_priority
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryPriorityFeaturesEXT {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           memoryPriority;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryPriorityFeaturesEXT;

## Members

This structure describes the following feature:

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

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

- `memoryPriority` indicates that the implementation supports memory priorities specified at memory allocation time via VkMemoryPriorityAllocateInfoEXT.

## Description

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryPriorityFeaturesEXT` 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. If the application wishes to use a VkDevice with any features described by `VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryPriorityFeaturesEXT`, it must add an instance of the structure, with the desired feature members set to `VK_TRUE`, to the `pNext` chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo when creating the VkDevice.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryPriorityFeaturesEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_MEMORY_PRIORITY_FEATURES_EXT`
