# VkDeviceDiagnosticsConfigFlagBitsNV(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkDeviceDiagnosticsConfigFlagBitsNV - Bitmask specifying diagnostics flags

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

Bits which can be set in VkDeviceDiagnosticsConfigCreateInfoNV::`flags` include:

    // Provided by VK_NV_device_diagnostics_config
    typedef enum VkDeviceDiagnosticsConfigFlagBitsNV {
        VK_DEVICE_DIAGNOSTICS_CONFIG_ENABLE_SHADER_DEBUG_INFO_BIT_NV = 0x00000001,
        VK_DEVICE_DIAGNOSTICS_CONFIG_ENABLE_RESOURCE_TRACKING_BIT_NV = 0x00000002,
        VK_DEVICE_DIAGNOSTICS_CONFIG_ENABLE_AUTOMATIC_CHECKPOINTS_BIT_NV = 0x00000004,
        VK_DEVICE_DIAGNOSTICS_CONFIG_ENABLE_SHADER_ERROR_REPORTING_BIT_NV = 0x00000008,
    } VkDeviceDiagnosticsConfigFlagBitsNV;

## Description

- `VK_DEVICE_DIAGNOSTICS_CONFIG_ENABLE_SHADER_DEBUG_INFO_BIT_NV` enables the generation of debug information for shaders.

- `VK_DEVICE_DIAGNOSTICS_CONFIG_ENABLE_RESOURCE_TRACKING_BIT_NV` enables driver side tracking of resources (images, buffers, etc.) used to augment the device fault information.

- `VK_DEVICE_DIAGNOSTICS_CONFIG_ENABLE_AUTOMATIC_CHECKPOINTS_BIT_NV` enables automatic insertion of diagnostic checkpoints for draw calls, dispatches, trace rays, and copies. The CPU call stack at the time of the command will be associated as the marker data for the automatically inserted checkpoints.

- `VK_DEVICE_DIAGNOSTICS_CONFIG_ENABLE_SHADER_ERROR_REPORTING_BIT_NV` enables shader error reporting.
