C Specification
To create a VkSurfaceKHR object for a CAMetalLayer, call:
// Provided by VK_EXT_metal_surface
VkResult vkCreateMetalSurfaceEXT(
VkInstance instance,
const VkMetalSurfaceCreateInfoEXT* pCreateInfo,
const VkAllocationCallbacks* pAllocator,
VkSurfaceKHR* pSurface);
Parameters
-
instanceis the instance with which to associate the surface. -
pCreateInfois a pointer to a VkMetalSurfaceCreateInfoEXT structure specifying parameters affecting the creation of the surface object. -
pAllocatoris the allocator used for host memory allocated for the surface object when there is no more specific allocator available (see Memory Allocation). -
pSurfaceis a pointer to a VkSurfaceKHR handle in which the created surface object is returned.
