# VkPhysicalDeviceShaderReplicatedCompositesFeaturesEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceShaderReplicatedCompositesFeaturesEXT - Structure describing whether support for replicated composites in SPIR-V is enabled

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderReplicatedCompositesFeaturesEXT` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_shader_replicated_composites
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceShaderReplicatedCompositesFeaturesEXT {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           shaderReplicatedComposites;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceShaderReplicatedCompositesFeaturesEXT;

## Members

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

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

- `shaderReplicatedComposites` specifies whether shader modules can declare the `ReplicatedCompositesEXT` capability.

## Description

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderReplicatedCompositesFeaturesEXT` 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 `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderReplicatedCompositesFeaturesEXT`, 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-VkPhysicalDeviceShaderReplicatedCompositesFeaturesEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_REPLICATED_COMPOSITES_FEATURES_EXT

Structure Chaining

Extends the structures

  - VkDeviceCreateInfo

  - VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2
