VkStridedDeviceAddressRegionKHR(3)

# VkStridedDeviceAddressRegionKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkStridedDeviceAddressRegionKHR - Structure specifying a region of device addresses with a stride

## C Specification

The `VkStridedDeviceAddressRegionKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline
    typedef struct VkStridedDeviceAddressRegionKHR {
        VkDeviceAddress    deviceAddress;
        VkDeviceSize       stride;
        VkDeviceSize       size;
    } VkStridedDeviceAddressRegionKHR;

## Members

- `deviceAddress` is the device address (as returned by the vkGetBufferDeviceAddress command) at which the region starts, or zero if the region is unused.

- `stride` is the byte stride between consecutive elements.

- `size` is the size in bytes of the region starting at `deviceAddress`.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkStridedDeviceAddressRegionKHR-size-04631
  If `size` is not zero, all addresses between `deviceAddress` and `deviceAddress` + `size` - 1 must be in the buffer device address range of the same buffer

- VUID-VkStridedDeviceAddressRegionKHR-size-04632
  If `size` is not zero, `stride` must be less than or equal to the size of the buffer from which `deviceAddress` was queried

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkStridedDeviceAddressRegionKHR-deviceAddress-parameter
  If `deviceAddress` is not `0`, `deviceAddress` must be a valid VkDeviceAddress value
