attachment to, as described in <<clears-values,Clear Values>> below.
No memory barriers are needed between fname:vkCmdClearAttachments and
preceding or subsequent draw or attachment clear commands in the same

The fname:vkCmdClearAttachments command is not affected by the bound

Attachments can: also be cleared at the beginning of a render pass instance
by setting pname:loadOp (or pname:stencilLoadOp) of
slink:VkAttachmentDescription to ename:VK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_CLEAR, as

== Clear Values

--
The sname:VkClearColorValue structure is defined as:
include::../api/structs/VkClearColorValue.txt[]
* pname:float32 are the color clear values when the format of the image or
attachment is one of the formats in the
<<features-formats-numericformat, Interpretation of Numeric Format>>
table other than signed integer (etext:SINT) or unsigned integer
(etext:UINT).
Floating point values are automatically converted to the format of the
image, with the clear value being treated as linear if the image is
sRGB.
* pname:int32 are the color clear values when the format of the image or
attachment is signed integer (etext:SINT).
Signed integer values are converted to the format of the image by
casting to the smaller type (with negative 32-bit values mapping to
negative values in the smaller type).
If the integer clear value is not representable in the target type (e.g.
would overflow in conversion to that type), the clear value is
undefined.
* pname:uint32 are the color clear values when the format of the image or
attachment is unsigned integer (etext:UINT).
Unsigned integer values are converted to the format of the image by
casting to the integer type with fewer bits.
The four array elements of the clear color map to R, G, B, and A components
of image formats, in order.
If the image has more than one sample, the same value is written to all
samples for any pixels being cleared.

The sname:VkClearDepthStencilValue structure is defined as:
include::../api/structs/VkClearDepthStencilValue.txt[]
* pname:depth is the clear value for the depth aspect of the depth/stencil
attachment.
It is a floating-point value which is automatically converted to the
attachment's format.
* pname:stencil is the clear value for the stencil aspect of the
depth/stencil attachment.
It is a 32-bit integer value which is converted to the attachment's
format by taking the appropriate number of LSBs.
.Valid Usage
****

* pname:color specifies the color image clear values to use when clearing
a color image or attachment.
* pname:depthStencil specifies the depth and stencil clear values to use
when clearing a depth/stencil image or attachment.
This union is used where part of the API requires either color or
depth/stencil clear values, depending on the attachment, and defines the
initial clear values in the slink:VkRenderPassBeginInfo structure.

====
The pname:pData parameter was of type code:uint32_t*` instead of code:void*
prior to revision 1.0.19 of the Specification and dlink:VK_HEADER_VERSION 19
of +vulkan.h+.
This was a historical anomaly, as the source data may be of other types.
