Extension structs do contain pointers, but their lifetime cannot ever be used if the only pointer they contain is p_next. Structs like this don't actually borrow anything, all structures in a p_next chain are borrowed by the parent. They have no push_next method, and there are no other methods that return Self with a different lifetime than the input struct. Technically you can set the lifetime using the PhantomData member, but that seems a bit silly and pointless.

p_next
. Structs like this don't actually borrow anything, all structures in ap_next
chain are borrowed by the parent. They have nopush_next
method, and there are no other methods that returnSelf
with a different lifetime than the input struct. Technically you can set the lifetime using thePhantomData
member, but that seems a bit silly and pointless.Take
ExternalMemoryImageCreateInfo
for example. It has no methods that borrow data.
