C Specification
To retrieve diagnostic information about faults that may have caused device loss, call:
// Provided by VK_EXT_device_fault
VkResult vkGetDeviceFaultInfoEXT(
VkDevice device,
VkDeviceFaultCountsEXT* pFaultCounts,
VkDeviceFaultInfoEXT* pFaultInfo);
Parameters
-
deviceis the logical device from which to query the diagnostic fault information. -
pFaultCountsis a pointer to a VkDeviceFaultCountsEXT structure in which counts for structures describing additional fault information are returned. -
pFaultInfoisNULLor a pointer to a VkDeviceFaultInfoEXT structure in which fault information is returned.
Description
If pFaultInfo is NULL, then the counts of corresponding additional
fault information structures available are returned in the
addressInfoCount and vendorInfoCount members of
pFaultCounts.
Additionally, the size of any vendor-specific binary crash dump is returned
in the vendorBinarySize member of pFaultCounts.
If pFaultInfo is not NULL, pFaultCounts must point to a
VkDeviceFaultCountsEXT structure with each structure count or size
member (addressInfoCount, vendorInfoCount,
vendorBinarySize) set by the application to the number of elements in
the corresponding output array member of pFaultInfo
(pAddressInfos and pVendorInfos), or to the size of the output
buffer in bytes (pVendorBinaryData).
On return, each structure count member is overwritten with the number of
structures actually written to the corresponding output array member of
pFaultInfo.
Similarly, vendorBinarySize is overwritten with the number of bytes
actually written to the pVendorBinaryData member of pFaultInfo.
If the vendor-specific crash dumps
feature is not enabled, then implementations must set
pFaultCounts->vendorBinarySize to zero and must not modify
pFaultInfo->pVendorBinaryData.
If any pFaultCounts structure count member is less than the number of
corresponding fault properties available, at most structure count
(addressInfoCount, vendorInfoCount) elements will be written to
the associated pFaultInfo output array.
Similarly, if vendorBinarySize is less than the size in bytes of the
available crash dump data, at most vendorBinarySize elements will be
written to pVendorBinaryData.
If pFaultInfo is NULL, then subsequent calls to
vkGetDeviceFaultInfoEXT for the same device must return
identical values in the addressInfoCount, vendorInfoCount and
vendorBinarySize members of pFaultCounts.
If pFaultInfo is not NULL, then subsequent calls to
vkGetDeviceFaultInfoEXT for the same device must return
identical values in the output members of pFaultInfo
(pAddressInfos, pVendorInfos, pVendorBinaryData), up to
the limits described by the structure count and buffer size members of
pFaultCounts (addressInfoCount, vendorInfoCount,
vendorBinarySize).
If the sizes of the output members of pFaultInfo increase for a
subsequent call to vkGetDeviceFaultInfoEXT, then supplementary
information may be returned in the additional available space.
If any pFaultCounts structure count member is smaller than the number
of corresponding fault properties available, or if
pFaultCounts->vendorBinarySize is smaller than the size in bytes of
the generated binary crash dump data, VK_INCOMPLETE will be returned
instead of VK_SUCCESS, to indicate that not all the available
properties were returned.
If pFaultCounts->vendorBinarySize is less than what is necessary to
store the binary crash dump header, nothing
will be written to pFaultInfo->pVendorBinaryData and zero will be
written to pFaultCounts->vendorBinarySize.
