public class VkDescriptorSetLayoutBinding
extends org.lwjgl.system.Struct
implements org.lwjgl.system.NativeResource
```
Structure specifying a descriptor set layout binding.
Description

The above layout definition allows the descriptor bindings to be specified sparsely such that not all binding numbers between 0 and the maximum binding number need to be specified in the pBindings array. Bindings that are not specified have a descriptorCount and stageFlags of zero, and the value of descriptorType is undefined. However, all binding numbers between 0 and the maximum binding number in the VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo::pBindings array may consume memory in the descriptor set layout even if not all descriptor bindings are used, though it should not consume additional memory from the descriptor pool.

Note

The maximum binding number specified should be as compact as possible to avoid wasted memory.

Valid Usage
- If descriptorType is DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLER or DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_COMBINED_IMAGE_SAMPLER, and descriptorCount is not 0 and pImmutableSamplers is not NULL, pImmutableSamplers must be a valid pointer to an array of descriptorCount valid VkSampler handles
- If descriptorType is DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_INLINE_UNIFORM_BLOCK_EXT then descriptorCount must be a multiple of 4
- If descriptorType is DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_INLINE_UNIFORM_BLOCK_EXT then descriptorCount must be less than or equal to VkPhysicalDeviceInlineUniformBlockPropertiesEXT::maxInlineUniformBlockSize
- If descriptorCount is not 0, stageFlags must be a valid combination of VkShaderStageFlagBits values
- If descriptorType is DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_INPUT_ATTACHMENT and descriptorCount is not 0, then stageFlags must be 0 or SHADER_STAGE_FRAGMENT_BIT
Valid Usage (Implicit)
- descriptorType must be a valid VkDescriptorType value

VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo

Member documentation
- binding – the binding number of this entry and corresponds to a resource of the same binding number in the shader stages.
- descriptorType – a VkDescriptorType specifying which type of resource descriptors are used for this binding.
- descriptorCount – the number of descriptors contained in the binding, accessed in a shader as an array , except if descriptorType is DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_INLINE_UNIFORM_BLOCK_EXT in which case descriptorCount is the size in bytes of the inline uniform block . If descriptorCount is zero this binding entry is reserved and the resource must not be accessed from any stage via this binding within any pipeline using the set layout.
- stageFlags – member is a bitmask of VkShaderStageFlagBits specifying which pipeline shader stages can access a resource for this binding. SHADER_STAGE_ALL is a shorthand specifying that all defined shader stages, including any additional stages defined by extensions, can access the resource.
  If a shader stage is not included in stageFlags, then a resource must not be accessed from that stage via this binding within any pipeline using the set layout. Other than input attachments which are limited to the fragment shader, there are no limitations on what combinations of stages can use a descriptor binding, and in particular a binding can be used by both graphics stages and the compute stage.
- pImmutableSamplers – affects initialization of samplers. If descriptorType specifies a DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLER or DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_COMBINED_IMAGE_SAMPLER type descriptor, then pImmutableSamplers can be used to initialize a set of immutable samplers. Immutable samplers are permanently bound into the set layout and must not be changed; updating a DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLER descriptor with immutable samplers is not allowed and updates to a DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_COMBINED_IMAGE_SAMPLER descriptor with immutable samplers does not modify the samplers (the image views are updated, but the sampler updates are ignored). If pImmutableSamplers is not NULL, then it is considered to be a pointer to an array of sampler handles that will be consumed by the set layout and used for the corresponding binding. If pImmutableSamplers is NULL, then the sampler slots are dynamic and sampler handles must be bound into descriptor sets using this layout. If descriptorType is not one of these descriptor types, then pImmutableSamplers is ignored.
Layout
```
 struct VkDescriptorSetLayoutBinding {
     uint32_t binding;
     VkDescriptorType descriptorType;
     uint32_t descriptorCount;
     VkShaderStageFlags stageFlags;
     VkSampler const * pImmutableSamplers;
 }
```
