## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceShaderAbortPropertiesKHR - Structure describing the maximum size of a shader abort message

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderAbortPropertiesKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_shader_abort
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceShaderAbortPropertiesKHR {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        uint64_t           maxShaderAbortMessageSize;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceShaderAbortPropertiesKHR;

## Members

The `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderAbortPropertiesKHR` structure describes the following:

## Description

- `maxShaderAbortMessageSize` indicates the maximum size of a shader abort message that the application can specify.

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceShaderAbortPropertiesKHR` structure is included in the `pNext` chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2, it is filled in with each corresponding implementation-dependent property.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceShaderAbortPropertiesKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_ABORT_PROPERTIES_KHR

Structure Chaining
