Method Detail

nvkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR

public static int nvkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR(VkDevice device,
                                                   long pImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfo)

Unsafe version of: ImportSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR

vkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR

public static int vkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR(VkDevice device,
                                                  VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR pImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfo)

Import a semaphore from a Windows HANDLE.

C Specification

To import a semaphore payload from a Windows handle, call:

 VkResult vkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR(
     VkDevice                                    device,
     const VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR*  pImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfo);

Description

Importing a semaphore payload from Windows handles does not transfer ownership of the handle to the Vulkan implementation. For handle types defined as NT handles, the application must release ownership using the CloseHandle system call when the handle is no longer needed.

Applications can import the same semaphore payload into multiple instances of Vulkan, into the same instance from which it was exported, and multiple times into a given Vulkan instance.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• device must be a valid VkDevice handle
• pImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR structure

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

• SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

• ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY
• ERROR_INVALID_EXTERNAL_HANDLE

VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR

Parameters:

device - the logical device that created the semaphore.

pImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfo - points to a VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR structure specifying the semaphore and import parameters.

nvkGetSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR

public static int nvkGetSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR(VkDevice device,
                                                long pGetWin32HandleInfo,
                                                long pHandle)

Unsafe version of: GetSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR

vkGetSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR

public static int vkGetSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR(VkDevice device,
                                               VkSemaphoreGetWin32HandleInfoKHR pGetWin32HandleInfo,
                                               PointerBuffer pHandle)

Get a Windows HANDLE for a semaphore.

C Specification

To export a Windows handle representing the payload of a semaphore, call:

 VkResult vkGetSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR(
     VkDevice                                    device,
     const VkSemaphoreGetWin32HandleInfoKHR*     pGetWin32HandleInfo,
     HANDLE*                                     pHandle);

Description

For handle types defined as NT handles, the handles returned by vkGetSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR are owned by the application. To avoid leaking resources, the application must release ownership of them using the CloseHandle system call when they are no longer needed.

Exporting a Windows handle from a semaphore may have side effects depending on the transference of the specified handle type, as described in Importing Semaphore Payloads.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• device must be a valid VkDevice handle
• pGetWin32HandleInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkSemaphoreGetWin32HandleInfoKHR structure
• pHandle must be a valid pointer to a HANDLE value

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

• SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

• ERROR_TOO_MANY_OBJECTS
• ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

See Also

VkSemaphoreGetWin32HandleInfoKHR

Parameters:

device - the logical device that created the semaphore being exported.

pGetWin32HandleInfo - a pointer to an instance of the VkSemaphoreGetWin32HandleInfoKHR structure containing parameters of the export operation.

pHandle - will return the Windows handle representing the semaphore state.
