== Device Loss Debugging
=== Device Diagnostic Checkpoints
Device execution progress can: be tracked for the purposes of debugging a
device loss by annotating the command stream with application-defined
diagnostic checkpoints.
Each diagnostic checkpoint command is executed at two pipeline stages:
ename:VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_TOP_OF_PIPE_BIT, and
ename:VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_BOTTOM_OF_PIPE_BIT.
If the device is lost, the application can: call
slink:vkGetQueueCheckpointDataNV to retrieve checkpoint data associated with
both pipeline stages, indicating the range of diagnostic checkpoints that
are currently in the execution pipeline on the device.
[open,refpage='vkCmdSetCheckpointNV',desc='insert diagnostic checkpoint in command stream',type='protos']
--
Device diagnostic checkpoints are inserted into the command stream by
calling slink:vkCmdSetCheckpointNV.

* pname:commandBuffer is the command buffer that will receive the marker
* pname:pCheckpointMarker is an opaque application-provided value that
will be associated with the checkpoint.
include::../../validity/protos/vkCmdSetCheckpointNV.txt[]
--
Note that pname:pCheckpointMarker is treated as an opaque value.
It does not need to be a valid pointer and will not be dereferenced by the
implementation.
[open,refpage='vkGetQueueCheckpointDataNV',desc='retrieve diagnostic checkpoint data',type='protos']
--
If the device encounters an error during execution, the implementation will
return a ename:VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST error to the application at a certain
point during host execution.
When this happens, the application can: call
slink:vkGetQueueCheckpointDataNV to retrieve information on the most recent
diagnostic checkpoints that were executed by the device.

Change log for August 13, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.83 spec update: * Update release number to 83. Public Issues: * Use [%inline] directive for all SVGs to reduce file size (public pull request 734). * Convert XML `value` aliases into \<alias> tags (public pull request 747). * Fix metadoc script showing non-selected extensions (public pull request 748). * Reapply public pull request 742 to make ename:VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_CONDITIONAL_RENDERING_BIT_EXT part of the graphices pipeline (public pull request 749). * Fix numerous typos related to accidental duplication of words (public pull request 760). * Fix `vk.xml` contact typos (public pull request 761). Internal Issues: * Add images to the <<Standard sample locations>> table (internal issue 1115). * Add a definition of "`Inherited from`" precision in the <<spirvenv-precision-operation, Precision and Operation of SPIR-V Instructions>> section (internal issue 1314). * Clarify that both built-in and user-defined variables count against the location limits for shader interfaces in the <<interfaces-iointerfaces-locations, Location Assignment>> section (internal issue 1316). * Merge "`required`" capabilities into the <<spirvenv-capabilities-table, list of optional: SPIR-V capabilities>> (internal issue 1320). * Relax the layout matching rules of descriptors referring to only a single aspect of a depth/stencil image, by reference to the new <<resources-image-layouts-matching-rule, Image Layout Matching Rules>> section (internal issue 1346). * Revert extension metadoc generator warning about name mismatches to a diagnostic, due to annoying warnings in build output for conscious choices we've made (internal issue 1351). Other Issues: * Reserve bits for pending vendor extensions. * Make Vulkan consistent with SPIR-V regarding code:DepthReplacing and code:FragDepth in the <<interfaces-builtin-variables, Built-In Variables>> section. * Add missing ChangeLog entries for the previous three spec updates.

* pname:queue is the elink:VkQueue object the caller would like to
retrieve checkpoint data for
* pname:pCheckpointDataCount is a pointer to an integer related to the
number of checkpoint markers available or queried, as described below.
* pname:pCheckpointData is either `NULL` or a pointer to an array of
sname:VkCheckpointDataNV structures.
If pname:pCheckpointData is `NULL`, then the number of checkpoint markers
available is returned in pname:pCheckpointDataCount.
Otherwise, pname:pCheckpointDataCount must: point to a variable set by the
user to the number of elements in the pname:pCheckpointData array, and on
return the variable is overwritten with the number of structures actually
written to pname:pCheckpointData.
If pname:pCheckpointDataCount is less than the number of checkpoint markers
available, at most pname:pCheckpointDataCount structures will be written.

* pname:sType is the type of this structure
* pname:pNext is `NULL` or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
* pname:stage indicates which pipeline stage the checkpoint marker data
refers to.
* pname:pCheckpointMarker contains the value of the last checkpoint marker
executed in the stage that pname:stage refers to.

Note that the stages at which a checkpoint marker can: be executed are
implementation-defined and can: be queried by calling
slink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceQueueFamilyProperties2.
