Detailed Description

Specialisation of HardwareBuffer for vertex index buffers, still abstract.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ IndexType

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ LockOptions

Locking options.

Enumerator
HBL_NORMAL 

Normal mode, ie allows read/write and contents are preserved.

HBL_DISCARD 

Discards the entire buffer while locking; this allows optimisation to be performed because synchronisation issues are relaxed.

Only allowed on buffers created with the HBU_DYNAMIC flag.

HBL_READ_ONLY 

Lock the buffer for reading only.

Not allowed in buffers which are created with HBU_WRITE_ONLY. Mandatory on static buffers, i.e. those created without the HBU_DYNAMIC flag.

HBL_NO_OVERWRITE 

As HBL_DISCARD, except the application guarantees not to overwrite any region of the buffer which has already been used in this frame, can allow some optimisation on some APIs.

HBL_WRITE_ONLY 

Lock the buffer for writing only.

◆ Usage

Enums describing buffer usage; not mutually exclusive.

Enumerator
HBU_STATIC 

Static buffer which the application rarely modifies once created.

Modifying the contents of this buffer will involve a performance hit.

HBU_DYNAMIC 

Indicates the application would like to modify this buffer with the CPU fairly often.

Buffers created with this flag will typically end up in AGP memory rather than video memory.

HBU_WRITE_ONLY 

Indicates the application will never read the contents of the buffer back, it will only ever write data.

Locking a buffer with this flag will ALWAYS return a pointer to new, blank memory rather than the memory associated with the contents of the buffer; this avoids DMA stalls because you can write to a new memory area while the previous one is being used.

HBU_DISCARDABLE 

Indicates that the application will be refilling the contents of the buffer regularly (not just updating, but generating the contents from scratch), and therefore does not mind if the contents of the buffer are lost somehow and need to be recreated.

This allows and additional level of optimisation on the buffer. This option only really makes sense when combined with HBU_DYNAMIC_WRITE_ONLY.

HBU_STATIC_WRITE_ONLY 

Combination of HBU_STATIC and HBU_WRITE_ONLY.

HBU_DYNAMIC_WRITE_ONLY 

Combination of HBU_DYNAMIC and HBU_WRITE_ONLY.

If you use this, strongly consider using HBU_DYNAMIC_WRITE_ONLY_DISCARDABLE instead if you update the entire contents of the buffer very regularly.

HBU_DYNAMIC_WRITE_ONLY_DISCARDABLE 

Combination of HBU_DYNAMIC, HBU_WRITE_ONLY and HBU_DISCARDABLE.

Member Function Documentation

◆ _updateFromShadow()

virtual void Ogre::v1::HardwareBuffer::_updateFromShadow ( )
inlinevirtualinherited

◆ copyData() [1/2]

virtual void Ogre::v1::HardwareBuffer::copyData ( HardwareBuffer srcBuffer)
inlinevirtualinherited

Copy all data from another buffer into this one.

Remarks
Normally these buffers should be of identical size, but if they're not, the routine will use the smallest of the two sizes.

References Ogre::v1::HardwareBuffer::getSizeInBytes().

◆ copyData() [2/2]

virtual void Ogre::v1::HardwareBuffer::copyData ( HardwareBuffer srcBuffer,
size_t  srcOffset,
size_t  dstOffset,
size_t  length,
bool  discardWholeBuffer = false 
)
inlinevirtualinherited

Copy data from another buffer into this one.

Remarks
Note that the source buffer must not be created with the usage HBU_WRITE_ONLY otherwise this will fail.
Parameters
srcBufferThe buffer from which to read the copied data
srcOffsetOffset in the source buffer at which to start reading
dstOffsetOffset in the destination buffer to start writing
lengthLength of the data to copy, in bytes.
discardWholeBufferIf true, will discard the entire contents of this buffer before copying

Remarks
Locking and unlocking a buffer can, in some rare circumstances such as switching video modes whilst the buffer is locked, corrupt the contents of a buffer. This is pretty rare, but if it occurs, this method will throw an exception, meaning you must re-upload the data.
Note that using the 'read' and 'write' forms of updating the buffer does not suffer from this problem, so if you want to be 100% sure your data will not be lost, use the 'read' and 'write' forms instead.

◆ writeData()

virtual void Ogre::v1::HardwareBuffer::writeData ( size_t  offset,
size_t  length,
const void *  pSource,
bool  discardWholeBuffer = false

pure virtualinherited

Writes data to the buffer from an area of system memory; note that you must ensure that your buffer is big enough.

Parameters
offsetThe byte offset from the start of the buffer to start writing
lengthThe size of the data to write to, in bytes
pSourceThe source of the data to be written
discardWholeBufferIf true, this allows the driver to discard the entire buffer when writing, such that DMA stalls can be avoided; use if you can.
