C Specification

To destroy a shader module, call:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
void vkDestroyShaderModule(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    VkShaderModule                              shaderModule,
    const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator);

Parameters

  • device is the logical device that destroys the shader module.

  • shaderModule is the handle of the shader module to destroy.

  • pAllocator controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

Description

A shader module can be destroyed while pipelines created using its shaders are still in use.

Valid Usage

  • VUID-vkDestroyShaderModule-shaderModule-01092
    If VkAllocationCallbacks were provided when shaderModule was created, a compatible set of callbacks must be provided here

  • VUID-vkDestroyShaderModule-shaderModule-01093
    If no VkAllocationCallbacks were provided when shaderModule was created, pAllocator must be NULL

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-vkDestroyShaderModule-device-parameter
    device must be a valid VkDevice handle

  • VUID-vkDestroyShaderModule-shaderModule-parameter
    If shaderModule is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, shaderModule must be a valid VkShaderModule handle

  • VUID-vkDestroyShaderModule-pAllocator-parameter
    If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure

  • VUID-vkDestroyShaderModule-shaderModule-parent
    If shaderModule is a valid handle, it must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from device

Host Synchronization

  • Host access to shaderModule must be externally synchronized
