# vkGetQueueCheckpointDataNV(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkGetQueueCheckpointDataNV - Retrieve diagnostic checkpoint data

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

If the device encounters an error during execution, the implementation will return a VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST error to the application at a certain point during host execution. When this happens, the application can call vkGetQueueCheckpointDataNV to retrieve information on the most recent diagnostic checkpoints that were executed by the device.

    // Provided by VK_NV_device_diagnostic_checkpoints
    void vkGetQueueCheckpointDataNV(
        VkQueue                                     queue,
        uint32_t*                                   pCheckpointDataCount,
        VkCheckpointDataNV*                         pCheckpointData);

## Parameters

- `queue` is the VkQueue object the caller would like to retrieve checkpoint data for

- `pCheckpointDataCount` is a pointer to an integer related to the number of checkpoint markers available or queried, as described below.

- `pCheckpointData` is either `NULL` or a pointer to an array of `VkCheckpointDataNV` structures.

## Description

If `pCheckpointData` is `NULL`, then the number of checkpoint markers available is returned in `pCheckpointDataCount`.

Otherwise, `pCheckpointDataCount` must point to a variable set by the application to the number of elements in the `pCheckpointData` array, and on return the variable is overwritten with the number of structures actually written to `pCheckpointData`.

If `pCheckpointDataCount` is less than the number of checkpoint markers available, at most `pCheckpointDataCount` structures will be written.

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkGetQueueCheckpointDataNV-queue-02025
  The device that `queue` belongs to must be in the lost state

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkGetQueueCheckpointDataNV-queue-parameter
  `queue` must be a valid VkQueue handle

- VUID-vkGetQueueCheckpointDataNV-pCheckpointDataCount-parameter
  `pCheckpointDataCount` must be a valid pointer to a `uint32_t` value

- VUID-vkGetQueueCheckpointDataNV-pCheckpointData-parameter
  If the value referenced by `pCheckpointDataCount` is not `0`, and `pCheckpointData` is not `NULL`, `pCheckpointData` must be a valid pointer to an array of `pCheckpointDataCount` VkCheckpointDataNV structures
