VkShaderModule questions

[Desperado17]

• Are VkShaderModule objects always local to a logical device or can they be used with other logical devices?
• Which information is inside logical devices that VkShaderModules need for creation but which isn’t already present in physical devices?

Are VkShaderModule objects always local to a logical device or can they be used with other logical devices?

This is a hard rule for all object (unless otherwise specified):

All objects created or allocated from a VkDevice (i.e. with a VkDevice as the first parameter) are private to that device, and must not be used on other devices.

VkShaderModule objects are no exception.

Which information is inside logical devices that VkShaderModules need for creation but which isn’t already present in physical devices?

Extensions and features can be different.
