// refBegin VkDebugReportCallbackEXT Opaque handle to a debug report callback object
Debug report callbacks are represented by sname:VkDebugReportCallbackEXT
handles:
include::../api/handles/VkDebugReportCallbackEXT.txt[]
// refEnd VkDebugReportCallbackEXT
// refBegin vkCreateDebugReportCallbackEXT Create a debug report callback object
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:pCallback is a pointer to record the
sname:VkDebugReportCallbackEXT object created.

[NOTE]
.Note
====
The +VK_EXT_debug_report+ extension defines the elink:VkDebugReportErrorEXT
enumerant type, but does not currently explain what the enumeration is used
for.
It is included here for completeness.
====
// refBegin VkDebugReportCallbackCreateInfoEXT Structure specifying parameters of a newly created debug report callback
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 indicate which event(s) will cause this callback to be
called.
Flags are interpreted as bitmasks and multiple may be set.
Bits which can: be set include:

include::../api/enums/VkDebugReportFlagBitsEXT.txt[]
** ename:VK_DEBUG_REPORT_ERROR_BIT_EXT indicates an error that may cause
undefined results, including an application crash.
** ename:VK_DEBUG_REPORT_WARNING_BIT_EXT indicates 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 indicates a
potentially non-optimal use of Vulkan.
E.g. using flink:vkCmdClearColorImage when a RenderPass load_op would
have worked.
** ename:VK_DEBUG_REPORT_INFORMATION_BIT_EXT indicates an informational
message such as resource details that may be handy when debugging an
application.
** ename:VK_DEBUG_REPORT_DEBUG_BIT_EXT indicates diagnostic information
from the loader and layers.

* 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 flags determine
when that function is called.
A callback will be made for issues that match any bit set in its flags.
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 different way, log to 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).
include::../validity/structs/VkDebugReportCallbackCreateInfoEXT.txt[]
// refBegin PFN_vkDebugReportCallbackEXT Application-defined debug report callback function
The prototype for the callback function implemented by the application is:
include::../api/funcpointers/PFN_vkDebugReportCallbackEXT.txt[]
* pname:flags indicates the ename:VkDebugReportFlagBitsEXT that triggered
this callback.
* pname:objectType is a elink:VkDebugReportObjectTypeEXT specifying the
type of object being used or created at the time the event was
triggered.
* pname:object gives the object where the issue was detected.
pname:object may be ename:VK_NULL_HANDLE if there is no object
associated with the event.
* pname:location is a component (layer, driver, loader) defined value that
indicates the _location_ of the trigger.
This is an optional value.
* pname:messageCode is a layer-defined value indicating what test
triggered this callback.
* pname:pLayerPrefix is the abbreviation of the component making the
callback.
pname:pLayerPrefix is only valid for the duration of the callback.
* pname:pMessage is a null-terminated string detailing the trigger
conditions.
pname:pMessage is only valid for the duration of the callback.
* pname:pUserData is the user data given when the DebugReportCallback was
created.
The callback returns a basetype:VkBool32 that indicates to the calling layer
if the Vulkan call should: be aborted or not.
Applications should: always return ename:VK_FALSE so that they see the same
behavior with and without validation layers enabled.
If the application returns ename:VK_TRUE from its callback and the Vulkan
call being aborted returns a elink:VkResult, the layer will return
ename:VK_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILED_EXT.

====
The primary expected use of ename:VK_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILED_EXT is for
validation layer testing.
It is not expected that an application would see this error code during
normal use of the validation layers.
