SDL_Vulkan_DestroySurface

Destroy the Vulkan rendering surface of a window.

Header File

Syntax

void SDL_Vulkan_DestroySurface(VkInstance instance,
                           VkSurfaceKHR surface,
                           const struct VkAllocationCallbacks *allocator);

Function Parameters

instance	The Vulkan instance handle
surface	VkSurfaceKHR handle to destroy
allocator	A VkAllocationCallbacks struct, which lets the app set the allocator that destroys the surface. Can be NULL.

Remarks

This should be called before SDL_DestroyWindow, if SDL_Vulkan_CreateSurface was called after SDL_CreateWindow.

The instance must have been created with extensions returned by SDL_Vulkan_GetInstanceExtensions() enabled and surface must have been created successfully by an SDL_Vulkan_CreateSurface() call.

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.

Version

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
