C Specification
Possible values of VkAttachmentDescription::loadOp
and
stencilLoadOp
, specifying how the contents of the attachment are
treated, are:
typedef enum VkAttachmentLoadOp {
VK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_LOAD = 0,
VK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_CLEAR = 1,
VK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_DONT_CARE = 2,
VK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_MAX_ENUM = 0x7FFFFFFF
} VkAttachmentLoadOp;
Description
-
VK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_LOAD
specifies that the previous contents of the image within the render area will be preserved. For attachments with a depth/stencil format, this uses the access typeVK_ACCESS_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_READ_BIT
. For attachments with a color format, this uses the access typeVK_ACCESS_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_READ_BIT
. -
VK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_CLEAR
specifies that the contents within the render area will be cleared to a uniform value, which is specified when a render pass instance is begun. For attachments with a depth/stencil format, this uses the access typeVK_ACCESS_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_WRITE_BIT
. For attachments with a color format, this uses the access typeVK_ACCESS_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_WRITE_BIT
. -
VK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_DONT_CARE
specifies that the previous contents within the area need not be preserved; the contents of the attachment will be undefined inside the render area. For attachments with a depth/stencil format, this uses the access typeVK_ACCESS_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_WRITE_BIT
. For attachments with a color format, this uses the access typeVK_ACCESS_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_WRITE_BIT
.
