VkDebugMarkerObjectNameInfoEXT(3)

# VkDebugMarkerObjectNameInfoEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkDebugMarkerObjectNameInfoEXT - Specify parameters of a name to give to an object

## C Specification

The `VkDebugMarkerObjectNameInfoEXT` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_debug_marker
    typedef struct VkDebugMarkerObjectNameInfoEXT {
        VkStructureType               sType;
        const void*                   pNext;
        VkDebugReportObjectTypeEXT    objectType;
        uint64_t                      object;
        const char*                   pObjectName;
    } VkDebugMarkerObjectNameInfoEXT;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `objectType` is a VkDebugReportObjectTypeEXT specifying the type of the object to be named.

- `object` is the object to be named.

- `pObjectName` is a null-terminated UTF-8 string specifying the name to apply to `object`.

## Description

Applications may change the name associated with an object simply by calling `vkDebugMarkerSetObjectNameEXT` again with a new string. To remove a previously set name, `pObjectName` should be an empty string.

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkDebugMarkerObjectNameInfoEXT-objectType-01490
  `objectType` must not be VK_DEBUG_REPORT_OBJECT_TYPE_UNKNOWN_EXT

- VUID-VkDebugMarkerObjectNameInfoEXT-object-01491
  `object` must not be VK_NULL_HANDLE

- VUID-VkDebugMarkerObjectNameInfoEXT-object-01492
  `object` must be a Vulkan object of the type associated with `objectType` as defined in https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/specs/latest/html/vkspec.html#debug-report-object-types

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkDebugMarkerObjectNameInfoEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DEBUG_MARKER_OBJECT_NAME_INFO_EXT

- VUID-VkDebugMarkerObjectNameInfoEXT-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`

- VUID-VkDebugMarkerObjectNameInfoEXT-objectType-parameter
  `objectType` must be a valid VkDebugReportObjectTypeEXT value

- VUID-VkDebugMarkerObjectNameInfoEXT-pObjectName-parameter
  `pObjectName` must be a null-terminated UTF-8 string

Host Synchronization

- Host access to `object` must be externally synchronized
