pipelineResourceId¶: The ResourceId of the pipeline object.

class renderdoc.VKDescriptorSet¶

The contents of a descriptor set.

bindings¶

The bindings within this set. This list is indexed by the binding, so it may be sparse (some entries do not contain any elements).

Type: List[VKDescriptorBinding]

descriptorSetResourceId¶: The ResourceId of the descriptor set object.

inlineData¶

The inline byte data within this descriptor set. Individual bindings will have an offset and size into this buffer.

pushDescriptor¶: Indicates if this is a virtual ‘push’ descriptor set.

class renderdoc.VKDescriptorBinding¶

The contents of a single binding within a descriptor set, either arrayed or not.

binds¶

The binding elements. If descriptorCount is 1 then this list has only one element and the binding is not arrayed.

Type: List[VKBindingElement]

descriptorCount¶: How many descriptors are in this binding array. If this binding is empty/non-existant this value will be 0.

dynamicallyUsedCount¶

Lists how many bindings in binds are dynamically used. Useful to avoid redundant iteration to determine whether any bindings are present.

For more information see VKBindingElement.dynamicallyUsed.

firstUsedIndex¶

Gives the index of the first binding in binds that is dynamically used. Useful to avoid redundant iteration in very large descriptor arrays with a small subset that are used.

For more information see VKBindingElement.dynamicallyUsed.

lastUsedIndex¶

Gives the index of the first binding in binds that is dynamically used. Useful to avoid redundant iteration in very large descriptor arrays with a small subset that are used.

Note

This may be set to a higher value than the number of bindings, if no dynamic use information is available. Ensure that this is an additional check on the bind and the count is still respected.

For more information see VKBindingElement.dynamicallyUsed.

dynamicallyUsed¶

If set to False this means that the binding was available to the shader but during execution it was not referenced. The data gathered for setting this variable is conservative, meaning that only accesses through arrays will have this calculated to reduce the required feedback bandwidth - single non-arrayed descriptors may have this value set to True even if the shader did not use them, since single descriptors may only be dynamically skipped by control flow.
