Create a Render Pass

A render pass describes the scope of a rendering operation by specifying the collection of attachments, subpasses, and dependencies used during the rendering operation. A render pass consists of at least one subpass. The communication of this information to the driver allows the driver to know what to expect when rendering begins and to set up the hardware optimally for the rendering operation.

Vulkan Control Over the Layout

1、Vulkan有三种方式来修改layout 

Memory Barrier Command (via vkCmdPipelineBarrier)
Render Pass final layout specification
Render Pass subpass layout specification

VkRenderPassCreateInfo rp_info = {};
rp_info.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_RENDER_PASS_CREATE_INFO;
rp_info.pNext = NULL;
rp_info.attachmentCount = 2;
rp_info.pAttachments = attachments;
rp_info.subpassCount = 1;
rp_info.pSubpasses = &subpass;
rp_info.dependencyCount = 1;
rp_info.pDependencies = &subpass_dependency;
res = vkCreateRenderPass(info.device, &rp_info, NULL, &info.render_pass);
