## C Specification

`VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR` is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_device_address_commands
    typedef struct VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR {
        VkStructureType             sType;
        const void*                 pNext;
        VkDeviceAddressRangeKHR     addressRange;
        VkAddressCommandFlagsKHR    addressFlags;
        VkIndexType                 indexType;
    } VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR;

## Members

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

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

- `addressRange` is the VkDeviceAddressRangeKHR of the address range to bind.

- `addressFlags` is a VkAddressCommandFlagsKHR value defining the flags for the address range.

- `indexType` is a VkIndexType value specifying the size of the indices.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-addressRange-13097
  If the range specified by `addressRange` is not bound completely to memory when accessed, `addressFlags` must not include VK_ADDRESS_COMMAND_FULLY_BOUND_BIT_KHR

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-addressRange-13098
  If the buffer from which the range specified by `addressRange` was created with VK_BUFFER_CREATE_PROTECTED_BIT, and `protectedNoFault` is not supported, `addressFlags` must include VK_ADDRESS_COMMAND_PROTECTED_BIT_KHR

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-addressRange-13099
  If the buffer from which the range specified by `addressRange` was created without VK_BUFFER_CREATE_PROTECTED_BIT, and `protectedNoFault` is not supported, `addressFlags` must not include VK_ADDRESS_COMMAND_PROTECTED_BIT_KHR

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-addressFlags-13100
  `addressFlags` must not include both VK_ADDRESS_COMMAND_STORAGE_BUFFER_USAGE_BIT_KHR and VK_ADDRESS_COMMAND_UNKNOWN_STORAGE_BUFFER_USAGE_BIT_KHR

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-addressRange-13122
  If any buffer, which is bound to a range of VkDeviceMemory that overlaps the range backing `addressRange`, was created with VK_BUFFER_USAGE_STORAGE_BUFFER_BIT, `addressFlags` must include VK_ADDRESS_COMMAND_STORAGE_BUFFER_USAGE_BIT_KHR or VK_ADDRESS_COMMAND_UNKNOWN_STORAGE_BUFFER_USAGE_BIT_KHR

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-addressRange-13123
  If any buffer, which is bound to a range of VkDeviceMemory that overlaps the range backing `addressRange`, was created without VK_BUFFER_USAGE_STORAGE_BUFFER_BIT, `addressFlags` must not include VK_ADDRESS_COMMAND_STORAGE_BUFFER_USAGE_BIT_KHR

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-addressFlags-13101
  `addressFlags` must not include both VK_ADDRESS_COMMAND_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER_USAGE_BIT_KHR and VK_ADDRESS_COMMAND_UNKNOWN_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER_USAGE_BIT_KHR

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-addressRange-13124
  If any buffer, which is bound to a range of VkDeviceMemory that overlaps the range backing `addressRange`, was created with VK_BUFFER_USAGE_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER_BIT_EXT, `addressFlags` must include VK_ADDRESS_COMMAND_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER_USAGE_BIT_KHR or VK_ADDRESS_COMMAND_UNKNOWN_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER_USAGE_BIT_KHR

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-addressRange-13125
  If any buffer, which is bound to a range of VkDeviceMemory that overlaps the range backing `addressRange`, was created without VK_BUFFER_USAGE_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER_BIT_EXT, `addressFlags` must not include VK_ADDRESS_COMMAND_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER_USAGE_BIT_KHR

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-addressRange-13051
  If `addressRange.address` is not 0, the buffer from which `addressRange` was queried must have been created with VK_BUFFER_USAGE_INDEX_BUFFER_BIT

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-addressRange-13052
  `addressRange.address` must be a multiple of the size of the type indicated by `indexType`

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-indexType-13053
  `indexType` must not be VK_INDEX_TYPE_NONE_KHR

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-indexType-13054
  If `indexType` is VK_INDEX_TYPE_UINT8_KHR, the `indexTypeUint8` feature must be enabled

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-None-13055
  If the `nullDescriptor` feature is not enabled, `addressRange.size` must be greater than 0

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-addressRange-13056
  If `addressRange.size` is 0, `addressRange.address` must be 0

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_BIND_INDEX_BUFFER_3_INFO_KHR

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-addressFlags-parameter
  `addressFlags` must be a valid combination of VkAddressCommandFlagBitsKHR values

- VUID-VkBindIndexBuffer3InfoKHR-indexType-parameter
  `indexType` must be a valid VkIndexType value
