# This is an example vk_layer_settings.txt file. # This file allows for per-layer settings which can dynamically affect layer # behavior. Comments in this file are denoted with the "#" char. # Settings lines are of the form ". = " # # is typically the official layer name, minus the VK_LAYER prefix # and all lower-camel-case -- i.e., for VK_LAYER_LUNARG_core_validation, the layer # identifier is 'lunarg_core_validation', and for VK_LAYER_GOOGLE_threading the layer # identifier is 'google_threading'. # # There are some common settings that are used by each layer. # Below is a general description of three common settings, followed by # actual template settings for each layer in the SDK. # # Common settings descriptions: # ============================= # # DEBUG_ACTION: # ============= # .debug_action : This is an enum value indicating what action is to # be taken when a layer wants to report information. Possible settings values # are defined in the vk_layer.h header file. These settings are: # VK_DBG_LAYER_ACTION_IGNORE - Take no action # VK_DBG_LAYER_ACTION_LOG_MSG - Log a txt message to stdout or to a log file # specified via the .log_filename setting (see below) # VK_DBG_LAYER_ACTION_CALLBACK - Call user defined callback function(s) that # have been registered via the VK_EXT_LUNARG_debug_report extension. Since # app must register callback, this is a NOOP for the settings file. # VK_DBG_LAYER_ACTION_BREAK - Trigger a breakpoint. # # REPORT_FLAGS: # ============= # .report_flags : This is a comma-delineated list of options telling # the layer what types of messages it should report back. Options are: # info - Report informational messages # warn - Report warnings of using the API in an unrecommended manner which may # also lead to undefined behavior # perf - Report using the API in a way that may cause suboptimal performance # error - Report errors in API usage # debug - For layer development. Report messages for debugging layer behavior # # LOG_FILENAME: # ============= # .log_filename : output filename. Can be relative to location of # vk_layer_settings.txt file, or an absolute path. If no filename is # specified or if filename has invalid path, then stdout is used by default. # # # # Example of actual settings for each layer: # ========================================== # # VK_LAYER_LUNARG_device_limits Settings lunarg_device_limits.debug_action = VK_DBG_LAYER_ACTION_LOG_MSG lunarg_device_limits.report_flags = error,warn,perf lunarg_device_limits.log_filename = stdout # VK_LAYER_LUNARG_core_validation Settings lunarg_core_validation.debug_action = VK_DBG_LAYER_ACTION_LOG_MSG lunarg_core_validation.report_flags = error,warn,perf lunarg_core_validation.log_filename = stdout # VK_LAYER_LUNARG_image Settings lunarg_image.debug_action = VK_DBG_LAYER_ACTION_LOG_MSG lunarg_image.report_flags = error,warn,perf lunarg_image.log_filename = stdout # VK_LAYER_LUNARG_object_tracker Settings lunarg_object_tracker.debug_action = VK_DBG_LAYER_ACTION_LOG_MSG lunarg_object_tracker.report_flags = error,warn,perf lunarg_object_tracker.log_filename = stdout # VK_LAYER_LUNARG_parameter_validation Settings lunarg_parameter_validation.debug_action = VK_DBG_LAYER_ACTION_LOG_MSG lunarg_parameter_validation.report_flags = error,warn,perf lunarg_parameter_validation.log_filename = stdout # VK_LAYER_LUNARG_swapchain Settings lunarg_swapchain.debug_action = VK_DBG_LAYER_ACTION_LOG_MSG lunarg_swapchain.report_flags = error,warn,perf lunarg_swapchain.log_filename = stdout # VK_LAYER_GOOGLE_threading Settings google_threading.debug_action = VK_DBG_LAYER_ACTION_LOG_MSG google_threading.report_flags = error,warn,perf google_threading.log_filename = stdout
