## Name

vkBindBufferMemory2 - Bind device memory to buffer objects

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

To attach memory to buffer objects for one or more buffers at a time, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
    VkResult vkBindBufferMemory2(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        uint32_t                                    bindInfoCount,
        const VkBindBufferMemoryInfo*               pBindInfos);

    // Provided by VK_KHR_bind_memory2
    // Equivalent to vkBindBufferMemory2
    VkResult vkBindBufferMemory2KHR(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        uint32_t                                    bindInfoCount,
        const VkBindBufferMemoryInfo*               pBindInfos);

## Parameters

- `device` is the logical device that owns the buffers and memory.

- `bindInfoCount` is the number of elements in `pBindInfos`.

- `pBindInfos` is a pointer to an array of `bindInfoCount` VkBindBufferMemoryInfo structures describing buffers and memory to bind.

## Description

On some implementations, it may be more efficient to batch memory bindings into a single command.

If the `maintenance6` feature is enabled, this command must attempt to perform all of the memory binding operations described by `pBindInfos`, and must not early exit on the first failure.

If any of the memory binding operations described by `pBindInfos` fail, the VkResult returned by this command must be the return value of any one of the memory binding operations which did not return VK_SUCCESS.

Note | If the `vkBindBufferMemory2` command failed, VkBindMemoryStatus structures were not included in the `pNext` chains of each element of `pBindInfos`, and `bindInfoCount` was greater than one, then the buffers referenced by `pBindInfos` will be in an indeterminate state, and must not be used. Applications should destroy these buffers.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkBindBufferMemory2-device-parameter
  `device` must be a valid VkDevice handle

- VUID-vkBindBufferMemory2-pBindInfos-parameter
  `pBindInfos` must be a valid pointer to an array of `bindInfoCount` valid VkBindBufferMemoryInfo structures

- VUID-vkBindBufferMemory2-bindInfoCount-arraylength
  `bindInfoCount` must be greater than `0`

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

  - VK_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

  - VK_ERROR_INVALID_OPAQUE_CAPTURE_ADDRESS_KHR

  - VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY

  - VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

  - VK_ERROR_UNKNOWN

  - VK_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILED
