// This section is included inside the Debugging chapter (debugging.txt) [[debugging-debug-report-callbacks]] == Debug Report Callbacks [open,refpage='VkDebugReportCallbackEXT',desc='Opaque handle to a debug report callback object',type='handles'] -- Debug report callbacks are represented by sname:VkDebugReportCallbackEXT handles: include::../api/handles/VkDebugReportCallbackEXT.txt[] -- [open,refpage='vkCreateDebugReportCallbackEXT',desc='Create a debug report callback object',type='protos'] -- Debug report callbacks give more detailed feedback on the application's use of Vulkan when events of interest occur. To register a debug report callback, an application uses flink:vkCreateDebugReportCallbackEXT. include::../api/protos/vkCreateDebugReportCallbackEXT.txt[] * pname:instance the instance the callback will be logged on. * pname:pCreateInfo points to a slink:VkDebugReportCallbackCreateInfoEXT structure which defines the conditions under which this callback will be called. * pname:pAllocator controls host memory allocation as described in the <> chapter. * pname:pCallback is a pointer to record the sname:VkDebugReportCallbackEXT object created. include::../validity/protos/vkCreateDebugReportCallbackEXT.txt[] -- [open,refpage='VkDebugReportCallbackCreateInfoEXT',desc='Structure specifying parameters of a newly created debug report callback',type='structs'] -- The definition of slink:VkDebugReportCallbackCreateInfoEXT is: include::../api/structs/VkDebugReportCallbackCreateInfoEXT.txt[] * pname:sType is the type of this structure. * pname:pNext is `NULL` or a pointer to an extension-specific structure. * pname:flags is a bitmask of elink:VkDebugReportFlagBitsEXT specifying which event(s) will cause this callback to be called. * pname:pfnCallback is the application callback function to call. * pname:pUserData is user data to be passed to the callback. For each sname:VkDebugReportCallbackEXT that is created the sname:VkDebugReportCallbackCreateInfoEXT::pname:flags determine when that sname:VkDebugReportCallbackCreateInfoEXT::pname:pfnCallback is called. When an event happens, the implementation will do a bitwise AND of the event's elink:VkDebugReportFlagBitsEXT flags to each sname:VkDebugReportCallbackEXT object's flags. For each non-zero result the corresponding callback will be called. The callback will come directly from the component that detected the event, unless some other layer intercepts the calls for its own purposes (filter them in a different way, log to a system error log, etc.). An application may: receive multiple callbacks if multiple sname:VkDebugReportCallbackEXT objects were created. A callback will always be executed in the same thread as the originating Vulkan call. A callback may be called from multiple threads simultaneously (if the application is making Vulkan calls from multiple threads). .Valid Usage **** * [[VUID-VkDebugReportCallbackCreateInfoEXT-pfnCallback-01385]] pname:pfnCallback must: be a valid tlink:PFN_vkDebugReportCallbackEXT **** include::../validity/structs/VkDebugReportCallbackCreateInfoEXT.txt[] -- [open,refpage='VkDebugReportFlagBitsEXT',desc='Bitmask specifying events which cause a debug report callback',type='enums'] -- Bits which can: be set in slink:VkDebugReportCallbackCreateInfoEXT::pname:flags, specifying events which cause a debug report, are: include::../api/enums/VkDebugReportFlagBitsEXT.txt[] * ename:VK_DEBUG_REPORT_ERROR_BIT_EXT specifies that an error that may cause undefined results, including an application crash. * ename:VK_DEBUG_REPORT_WARNING_BIT_EXT specifies use of Vulkan that may: expose an app bug. Such cases may not be immediately harmful, such as a fragment shader outputting to a location with no attachment. Other cases may: point to behavior that is almost certainly bad when unintended such as using an image whose memory has not been filled. In general if you see a warning but you know that the behavior is intended/desired, then simply ignore the warning. * ename:VK_DEBUG_REPORT_PERFORMANCE_WARNING_BIT_EXT specifies a potentially non-optimal use of Vulkan, e.g. using flink:vkCmdClearColorImage when setting slink:VkAttachmentDescription::pname:loadOp to ename:VK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_CLEAR would have worked. * ename:VK_DEBUG_REPORT_INFORMATION_BIT_EXT specifies an informational message such as resource details that may be handy when debugging an application. * ename:VK_DEBUG_REPORT_DEBUG_BIT_EXT specifies diagnostic information from the implementation and layers. -- [open,refpage='PFN_vkDebugReportCallbackEXT',desc='Application-defined debug report callback function',type='funcpointers'] -- The prototype for the slink:VkDebugReportCallbackCreateInfoEXT::pname:pfnCallback function implemented by the application is: include::../api/funcpointers/PFN_vkDebugReportCallbackEXT.txt[] * pname:flags indicates the elink:VkDebugReportFlagBitsEXT that triggered this callback. * pname:objectType is a elink:VkDebugReportObjectTypeEXT value specifying the type of object being used or created at the time the event was triggered. * pname:object is the object where the issue was detected.

The callback must: not call fname:vkDestroyDebugReportCallbackEXT. The callback returns a basetype:VkBool32 that indicates to the calling layer the application's desire to abort the call. A value of ename:VK_TRUE indicates that the application wants to abort this call. If the application returns ename:VK_FALSE, the command must: not be aborted. Applications should: always return ename:VK_FALSE so that they see the same behavior with and without validation layers enabled.
