GraphicsApiValidation.IsValidationSupported

Returns

bool true if the active GraphicsDeviceType has a validation implementation; otherwise false.

Description

Returns whether the current graphics backend exposes a validation implementation.

Use this as the first gate before calling any other GraphicsApiValidation member. On backends that don't implement validation, all other members are no-ops and return default values.

A return value of true doesn't guarantee that validation is actually running, only that it can be requested. Use GraphicsApiValidation.IsValidationActive to confirm the debug layer initialized successfully.

        {
            Debug.Log("Graphics validation isn't available on the current backend.");
            return;
        }

        // ... continue with validation-aware code ...
    }
