C Specification

The VkTensorViewCreateInfoARM structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_EXT_descriptor_heap, VK_ARM_tensors
typedef struct VkTensorViewCreateInfoARM {
    VkStructureType               sType;
    const void*                   pNext;
    VkTensorViewCreateFlagsARM    flags;
    VkTensorARM                   tensor;
    VkFormat                      format;
} VkTensorViewCreateInfoARM;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • flags is reserved for future use.

  • tensor is a VkTensorARM on which the view will be created.

  • format is a VkFormat describing the format and type used to interpret elements in the tensor.

Description

If tensor was created with the VK_TENSOR_CREATE_MUTABLE_FORMAT_BIT_ARM flag, format can be different from the tensor’s format, but if they are not equal they must be compatible. Tensor format compatibility is defined in the Format Compatibility Classes section. Views of compatible formats will have the same mapping between element locations irrespective of the format, with only the interpretation of the bit pattern changing.

Note

Values intended to be used with one view format may not be exactly preserved when written or read through a different format. For example, an integer value that happens to have the bit pattern of a floating-point denorm or NaN may be flushed or canonicalized when written or read through a view with a floating-point format. Similarly, a value written through a signed normalized format that has a bit pattern exactly equal to -2b may be changed to -2b + 1 as described in Conversion from Normalized Fixed-Point to Floating-Point.
