Ogre::MetalDiscardBufferManager Class Reference

Metal doesn't support "DISCARD" like D3D9/D3D11 (and OpenGL but often it's broken) where we requested to map a write-only buffer and the API would discard the previous contents (thus allowing us to avoid a stall until the GPU is done with the region) More...

Detailed Description

Metal doesn't support "DISCARD" like D3D9/D3D11 (and OpenGL but often it's broken) where we requested to map a write-only buffer and the API would discard the previous contents (thus allowing us to avoid a stall until the GPU is done with the region)

We need Discard for the v1 interfaces. So we need to emulate it. This class does exactly this.

Member Function Documentation

_getBlock()

void Ogre::MetalDiscardBufferManager::_getBlock

(

MetalDiscardBuffer *

discardBuffer

)

For internal use.

Retrieves a fresh new block. The old block will be returned to a pool until it's safe to reuse again. Used by the DiscardBuffer when map( DISCARD ) is called.

Parameters

discardBuffer

Buffer to assign a new region.

_notifyDeviceStalled()

void Ogre::MetalDiscardBufferManager::_notifyDeviceStalled

(

)

createDiscardBuffer()

MetalDiscardBuffer* Ogre::MetalDiscardBufferManager::createDiscardBuffer	(	size_t	bufferSize,
		uint16	alignment
	)

Creates a buffer that supports discarding to hold the required size.

Parameters

bufferSize	Requested size in bytes.
alignment	Alignment requirements.

Returns

A new MetalDiscardBuffer

destroyDiscardBuffer()

void Ogre::MetalDiscardBufferManager::destroyDiscardBuffer

(

MetalDiscardBuffer *

discardBuffer

)

Destroys an existing MetalDiscardBuffer, releasing its memory.

Parameters

discardBuffer

MetalDiscardBuffer to destroy

getDevice()

MetalDevice* Ogre::MetalDiscardBufferManager::getDevice ( ) const

inline

getVaoManager()

VaoManager* Ogre::MetalDiscardBufferManager::getVaoManager ( ) const

inline
