# VkPhysicalDeviceShaderMaximalReconvergenceFeaturesKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceShaderMaximalReconvergenceFeaturesKHR - Structure describing support for shader maximal reconvergence by an implementation

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderMaximalReconvergenceFeaturesKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_shader_maximal_reconvergence
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceShaderMaximalReconvergenceFeaturesKHR {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           shaderMaximalReconvergence;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceShaderMaximalReconvergenceFeaturesKHR;

## Members

This structure describes the following feature:

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `shaderMaximalReconvergence` specifies whether the implementation supports the shader execution mode `MaximallyReconvergesKHR`

## Description

If the `VkPhysicalDevicePrivateDataFeaturesEXT` structure is included in the `pNext` chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. If the application wishes to use a VkDevice with any features described by `VkPhysicalDevicePrivateDataFeaturesEXT`, it must add an instance of the structure, with the desired feature members set to `VK_TRUE`, to the `pNext` chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo when creating the VkDevice.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceShaderMaximalReconvergenceFeaturesKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_MAXIMAL_RECONVERGENCE_FEATURES_KHR`
