## Name

vkCmdResetQueryPool - Reset queries in a query pool

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

To reset a range of queries in a query pool on a queue, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    void vkCmdResetQueryPool(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        VkQueryPool                                 queryPool,
        uint32_t                                    firstQuery,
        uint32_t                                    queryCount);

## Parameters

- `commandBuffer` is the command buffer into which this command will be recorded.

- `queryPool` is the handle of the query pool managing the queries being reset.

- `firstQuery` is the initial query index to reset.

- `queryCount` is the number of queries to reset.

## Description

When executed on a queue, this command sets the status of query indices [`firstQuery`, `firstQuery` + `queryCount` - 1] to unavailable.

This command defines an execution dependency between other query commands that reference the same query.

The first synchronization scope includes all commands which reference the queries in `queryPool` indicated by `firstQuery` and `queryCount` that occur earlier in submission order.

The second synchronization scope includes all commands which reference the queries in `queryPool` indicated by `firstQuery` and `queryCount` that occur later in submission order.

The operation of this command happens after the first scope and happens before the second scope.

If the `queryType` used to create `queryPool` was VK_QUERY_TYPE_PERFORMANCE_QUERY_KHR, this command sets the status of query indices [`firstQuery`, `firstQuery` + `queryCount` - 1] to unavailable for each pass of `queryPool`, as indicated by a call to vkGetPhysicalDeviceQueueFamilyPerformanceQueryPassesKHR.

Note | Because `vkCmdResetQueryPool` resets all the passes of the indicated queries, applications must not record a `vkCmdResetQueryPool` command for a `queryPool` created with VK_QUERY_TYPE_PERFORMANCE_QUERY_KHR in a command buffer that needs to be submitted multiple times as indicated by a call to vkGetPhysicalDeviceQueueFamilyPerformanceQueryPassesKHR. Otherwise applications will never be able to complete the recorded queries.

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkCmdResetQueryPool-firstQuery-09436
  `firstQuery` must be less than the number of queries in `queryPool`

- VUID-vkCmdResetQueryPool-firstQuery-09437
  The sum of `firstQuery` and `queryCount` must be less than or equal to the number of queries in `queryPool`

- VUID-vkCmdResetQueryPool-None-02841
  All queries used by the command must not be active

- VUID-vkCmdResetQueryPool-firstQuery-02862
  If `queryPool` was created with VK_QUERY_TYPE_PERFORMANCE_QUERY_KHR, this command must not be recorded in a command buffer that, either directly or through secondary command buffers, also contains begin commands for a query from the set of queries [`firstQuery`, `firstQuery` + `queryCount` - 1]

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkCmdResetQueryPool-commandBuffer-parameter
  `commandBuffer` must be a valid VkCommandBuffer handle

- VUID-vkCmdResetQueryPool-queryPool-parameter
  `queryPool` must be a valid VkQueryPool handle

- VUID-vkCmdResetQueryPool-commandBuffer-recording
  `commandBuffer` must be in the recording state

- VUID-vkCmdResetQueryPool-commandBuffer-cmdpool
  The `VkCommandPool` that `commandBuffer` was allocated from must support VK_QUEUE_COMPUTE_BIT, VK_QUEUE_GRAPHICS_BIT, VK_QUEUE_OPTICAL_FLOW_BIT_NV, VK_QUEUE_VIDEO_DECODE_BIT_KHR, or VK_QUEUE_VIDEO_ENCODE_BIT_KHR operations

- VUID-vkCmdResetQueryPool-renderpass
  This command must only be called outside of a render pass instance

- VUID-vkCmdResetQueryPool-suspended
  This command must not be called between suspended render pass instances

- VUID-vkCmdResetQueryPool-videocoding
  This command must only be called outside of a video coding scope

- VUID-vkCmdResetQueryPool-commonparent
  Both of `commandBuffer`, and `queryPool` must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from the same VkDevice

Host Synchronization

- Host access to `commandBuffer` must be externally synchronized

- Host access to the `VkCommandPool` that `commandBuffer` was allocated from must be externally synchronized

Command Properties

Command Buffer Levels | Render Pass Scope | Video Coding Scope | Supported Queue Types | Command Type
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Primary Secondary | Outside | Outside | VK_QUEUE_COMPUTE_BIT VK_QUEUE_GRAPHICS_BIT VK_QUEUE_OPTICAL_FLOW_BIT_NV VK_QUEUE_VIDEO_DECODE_BIT_KHR VK_QUEUE_VIDEO_ENCODE_BIT_KHR | Action
