MTLDevice_id(3)

Name

MTLDevice_id - Metal MTLDevice type reference

C Specification

The type id<MTLDevice> is defined in Apple’s Metal framework, but to remove an unnecessary compile time dependency, an incomplete type definition of MTLDevice_id is provided in the Vulkan headers:

// Provided by VK_EXT_metal_objects
#ifdef __OBJC__
@protocol MTLDevice;
typedef __unsafe_unretained id<MTLDevice> MTLDevice_id;
#else
typedef void* MTLDevice_id;
#endif
