| === Description |
| |
| This extension provides a mechanism for caching the results of potentially |
| expensive internal validation operations across multiple runs of a Vulkan |
| application. |
| At the core is the slink:VkValidationCacheEXT object type, which is managed |
| similarly to the existing slink:VkPipelineCache. |
| |
| The new struct slink:VkShaderModuleValidationCacheCreateInfoEXT can be |
| included in the pname:pNext chain at flink:vkCreateShaderModule time. |
| It contains a slink:VkValidationCacheEXT to use when validating the |
| slink:VkShaderModule. |
