SDL_Vulkan_CreateSurface - Create a Vulkan rendering surface for a window.

Defined in SDL3/SDL_vulkan.h

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

bool SDL_Vulkan_CreateSurface(SDL_Window *window,
VkInstance instance,
const struct VkAllocationCallbacks *allocator,
VkSurfaceKHR *surface);

The window must have been created with the

SDL_WINDOW_VULKAN flag and instance must have been created with extensions returned by

SDL_Vulkan_GetInstanceExtensions () enabled.

If allocator is NULL, Vulkan will use the system default allocator. This argument is passed directly to Vulkan and isn’t used by SDL itself.

window

the window to which to attach the Vulkan surface.

instance

the Vulkan instance handle.

allocator

a VkAllocationCallbacks struct, which lets the app set the allocator that creates the surface. Can be NULL.

surface

a pointer to a VkSurfaceKHR handle to output the newly created surface.

Returns true on success or false on failure; call

SDL_GetError () for more information.

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
