VKMAXEXTENSIONNAMESIZE

VKMAXEXTENSIONNAMESIZE is a constant defined in the Vulkan API, which is a low-level graphics and compute API. This constant represents the maximum length of an extension name string, including the null terminator. The value of VKMAXEXTENSIONNAMESIZE is 256, which means that any extension name string must not exceed 255 characters in length, with the 256th character reserved for the null terminator.

This constant is used in various Vulkan functions and structures that deal with extensions. For example, the vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties function returns an array of VkExtensionProperties structures, each containing an extension name string. The size of this string is limited by VKMAXEXTENSIONNAMESIZE.

It's important to note that the length of an extension name string is not the same as the length of the extension name itself. The extension name string includes the null terminator, which is not part of the actual extension name. Therefore, when working with extension names in Vulkan, it's crucial to account for this null terminator and ensure that the length of the extension name string does not exceed VKMAXEXTENSIONNAMESIZE.

In summary, VKMAXEXTENSIONNAMESIZE is a constant in the Vulkan API that defines the maximum length of an extension name string, including the null terminator. This constant is used in various Vulkan functions and structures that deal with extensions, and it's important to account for the null terminator when working with extension names in Vulkan.
