Package org.lwjgl.vulkan

Class EXTScalarBlockLayout

java.lang.Object
org.lwjgl.vulkan.EXTScalarBlockLayout
public final class EXTScalarBlockLayout extends Object
This extension enables C-like structure layout for SPIR-V blocks. It modifies the alignment rules for uniform buffers, storage buffers and push constants, allowing non-scalar types to be aligned solely based on the size of their components, without additional requirements.
Promotion to Vulkan 1.2

Vulkan APIs in this extension are included in core Vulkan 1.2, with the EXT suffix omitted. However, if Vulkan 1.2 is supported and this extension is not, the scalarBlockLayout capability is optional. External interactions defined by this extension, such as SPIR-V token names, retain their original names. The original Vulkan API names are still available as aliases of the core functionality.
