C Specification

The VkSubpassDependency2 structure is defined as:

Warning
 This functionality is superseded by Vulkan Version 1.4. See Legacy Functionality for more information. 
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_2
typedef struct VkSubpassDependency2 {
    VkStructureType         sType;
    const void*             pNext;
    uint32_t                srcSubpass;
    uint32_t                dstSubpass;
    VkPipelineStageFlags    srcStageMask;
    VkPipelineStageFlags    dstStageMask;
    VkAccessFlags           srcAccessMask;
    VkAccessFlags           dstAccessMask;
    VkDependencyFlags       dependencyFlags;
    int32_t                 viewOffset;
} VkSubpassDependency2;
// Provided by VK_KHR_create_renderpass2
// Equivalent to VkSubpassDependency2
typedef VkSubpassDependency2 VkSubpassDependency2KHR;

Description

Parameters defined by this structure with the same name as those in VkSubpassDependency have the identical effect to those parameters.

viewOffset has the same effect for the described subpass dependency as VkRenderPassMultiviewCreateInfo::pViewOffsets has on each corresponding subpass dependency.

If a VkMemoryBarrier2 is included in the pNext chain, srcStageMask, dstStageMask, srcAccessMask, and dstAccessMask parameters are ignored. The synchronization and access scopes instead are defined by the parameters of VkMemoryBarrier2. If either srcStageMask or dstStageMask are set to VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_ALL_COMMANDS_BIT, it is equivalent to setting VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_ALL_GRAPHICS_BIT.

Valid Usage
Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkSubpassDependency2-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_SUBPASS_DEPENDENCY_2

  • VUID-VkSubpassDependency2-pNext-pNext
    Each pNext member of any structure (including this one) in the pNext chain must be either NULL or a pointer to a valid instance of VkMemoryBarrier2 or VkMemoryBarrierAccessFlags3KHR

  • VUID-VkSubpassDependency2-sType-unique
    The sType value of each structure in the pNext chain must be unique

  • VUID-VkSubpassDependency2-srcStageMask-parameter
    srcStageMask must be a valid combination of VkPipelineStageFlagBits values

  • VUID-VkSubpassDependency2-dstStageMask-parameter
    dstStageMask must be a valid combination of VkPipelineStageFlagBits values

  • VUID-VkSubpassDependency2-srcAccessMask-parameter
    srcAccessMask must be a valid combination of VkAccessFlagBits values

  • VUID-VkSubpassDependency2-dstAccessMask-parameter
    dstAccessMask must be a valid combination of VkAccessFlagBits values

  • VUID-VkSubpassDependency2-dependencyFlags-parameter
    dependencyFlags must be a valid combination of VkDependencyFlagBits values
