C Specification
Bits which can be set in
VkDebugReportCallbackCreateInfoEXT::flags, specifying events
which cause a debug report, are:
// Provided by VK_EXT_debug_report
typedef enum VkDebugReportFlagBitsEXT {
VK_DEBUG_REPORT_INFORMATION_BIT_EXT = 0x00000001,
VK_DEBUG_REPORT_WARNING_BIT_EXT = 0x00000002,
VK_DEBUG_REPORT_PERFORMANCE_WARNING_BIT_EXT = 0x00000004,
VK_DEBUG_REPORT_ERROR_BIT_EXT = 0x00000008,
VK_DEBUG_REPORT_DEBUG_BIT_EXT = 0x00000010,
} VkDebugReportFlagBitsEXT;
Description
-
VK_DEBUG_REPORT_ERROR_BIT_EXTspecifies that the application has violated a valid usage condition of the specification. -
VK_DEBUG_REPORT_WARNING_BIT_EXTspecifies use of Vulkan that may expose an application bug. Such cases may not be immediately harmful, such as a fragment shader outputting to a location with no attachment. Other cases may point to behavior that is almost certainly bad when unintended such as using an image whose memory has not been filled. In general if you see a warning but you know that the behavior is intended/desired, then simply ignore the warning. -
VK_DEBUG_REPORT_PERFORMANCE_WARNING_BIT_EXTspecifies a potentially non-optimal use of Vulkan, e.g. using vkCmdClearColorImage when setting VkAttachmentDescription::loadOptoVK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_CLEARwould have worked. -
VK_DEBUG_REPORT_INFORMATION_BIT_EXTspecifies an informational message such as resource details that may be handy when debugging an application. -
VK_DEBUG_REPORT_DEBUG_BIT_EXTspecifies diagnostic information from the implementation and layers.
