-
VK_DESCRIPTOR_MAPPING_SOURCE_HEAP_WITH_CONSTANT_OFFSET_EXT specifies that the resource will be backed by a descriptor from the heap at a constant index.
-
VK_DESCRIPTOR_MAPPING_SOURCE_HEAP_WITH_PUSH_INDEX_EXT specifies that the resource will be backed by a descriptor from the heap at an index sourced from push data, added to a constant index.
-
VK_DESCRIPTOR_MAPPING_SOURCE_HEAP_WITH_INDIRECT_INDEX_EXT specifies that the resource will be backed by a descriptor from the heap at an index sourced from an address in push data, added to a constant index. If the mapping is an array, the array will be mapped to a base offset in indirect memory, and subsequent elements are mapped as offsets to that base.
-
VK_DESCRIPTOR_MAPPING_SOURCE_HEAP_WITH_INDIRECT_INDEX_ARRAY_EXT specifies that the resource will be backed by a descriptor from the heap at an index sourced from an address in push data, added to a constant index. If the mapping is an array, each array element will be mapped to a separate index in indirect memory.
-
VK_DESCRIPTOR_MAPPING_SOURCE_RESOURCE_HEAP_DATA_EXT specifies that the resource will be backed by heap data directly.
-
VK_DESCRIPTOR_MAPPING_SOURCE_PUSH_DATA_EXT specifies that the resource will be backed by push data directly.
-
VK_DESCRIPTOR_MAPPING_SOURCE_PUSH_ADDRESS_EXT specifies that the resource will be backed by an address in push data.
-
VK_DESCRIPTOR_MAPPING_SOURCE_INDIRECT_ADDRESS_EXT specifies that the resource will be backed by an address sourced via another address in push data.
-
VK_DESCRIPTOR_MAPPING_SOURCE_HEAP_WITH_SHADER_RECORD_INDEX_EXT specifies that the resource will be backed by a descriptor from the heap at an index sourced from shader record data, added to a constant index.
-
VK_DESCRIPTOR_MAPPING_SOURCE_SHADER_RECORD_DATA_EXT specifies that the resource will be backed by shader record data directly.
-
VK_DESCRIPTOR_MAPPING_SOURCE_SHADER_RECORD_ADDRESS_EXT specifies that the resource will be backed by an address in shader record data.
