# vkDestroyDescriptorSetLayout(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkDestroyDescriptorSetLayout - Destroy a descriptor set layout object

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

To destroy a descriptor set layout, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    void vkDestroyDescriptorSetLayout(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        VkDescriptorSetLayout                       descriptorSetLayout,
        const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator);

## Parameters

- `device` is the logical device that destroys the descriptor set layout.

- `descriptorSetLayout` is the descriptor set layout to destroy.

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

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkDestroyDescriptorSetLayout-descriptorSetLayout-00284
  If `VkAllocationCallbacks` were provided when `descriptorSetLayout` was created, a compatible set of callbacks must be provided here

- VUID-vkDestroyDescriptorSetLayout-descriptorSetLayout-00285
  If no `VkAllocationCallbacks` were provided when `descriptorSetLayout` was created, `pAllocator` must be `NULL`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

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

- VUID-vkDestroyDescriptorSetLayout-descriptorSetLayout-parameter
  If `descriptorSetLayout` is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, `descriptorSetLayout` must be a valid VkDescriptorSetLayout handle

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

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

Host Synchronization

- Host access to `descriptorSetLayout` must be externally synchronized
