# VkValidationFeatureDisableEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkValidationFeatureDisableEXT - Specify validation features to disable

## C Specification

Possible values of elements of the VkValidationFeaturesEXT::`pDisabledValidationFeatures` array, specifying validation features to be disabled, are:

    typedef enum VkValidationFeatureDisableEXT {
        VK_VALIDATION_FEATURE_DISABLE_ALL_EXT = 0,
        VK_VALIDATION_FEATURE_DISABLE_SHADERS_EXT = 1,
        VK_VALIDATION_FEATURE_DISABLE_THREAD_SAFETY_EXT = 2,
        VK_VALIDATION_FEATURE_DISABLE_API_PARAMETERS_EXT = 3,
        VK_VALIDATION_FEATURE_DISABLE_OBJECT_LIFETIMES_EXT = 4,
        VK_VALIDATION_FEATURE_DISABLE_CORE_CHECKS_EXT = 5,
        VK_VALIDATION_FEATURE_DISABLE_UNIQUE_HANDLES_EXT = 6,
        VK_VALIDATION_FEATURE_DISABLE_MAX_ENUM_EXT = 0x7FFFFFFF
    } VkValidationFeatureDisableEXT;

## Description

- `VK_VALIDATION_FEATURE_DISABLE_ALL_EXT` specifies that all validation checks are disabled.

- `VK_VALIDATION_FEATURE_DISABLE_SHADERS_EXT` specifies that shader validation is disabled. This feature is enabled by default.

- `VK_VALIDATION_FEATURE_DISABLE_THREAD_SAFETY_EXT` specifies that thread safety validation is disabled. This feature is enabled by default.

- `VK_VALIDATION_FEATURE_DISABLE_API_PARAMETERS_EXT` specifies that stateless parameter validation is disabled. This feature is enabled by default.

- `VK_VALIDATION_FEATURE_DISABLE_OBJECT_LIFETIMES_EXT` specifies that object lifetime validation is disabled. This feature is enabled by default.

- `VK_VALIDATION_FEATURE_DISABLE_CORE_CHECKS_EXT` specifies that core validation checks are disabled. This feature is enabled by default. If this feature is disabled, the shader validation and GPU-assisted validation features are also disabled.

- `VK_VALIDATION_FEATURE_DISABLE_UNIQUE_HANDLES_EXT` specifies that protection against duplicate non-dispatchable object handles is disabled. This feature is enabled by default.
