Struct vulkano::sync::FenceSignalFuture

#[must_use = "Dropping this object will immediately block the thread until the GPU has finished processing the submission"]
pub struct FenceSignalFuture<F> where
    F: GpuFuture,  { /* fields omitted */ }

Represents a fence being signaled after a previous event.

Contrary to most other future types, it is possible to block the current thread until the event happens. This is done by calling the wait() function.

Also note that the GpuFuture trait is implemented on Arc<FenceSignalFuture<_>>. This means that you can put this future in an Arc and keep a copy of it somewhere in order to know when the execution reached that point.

use std::sync::Arc;
use vulkano::sync::GpuFuture;

// Assuming you have a chain of operations, like this:
// let future = ...
//      .then_execute(foo)
//      .then_execute(bar)

// You can signal a fence at this point of the chain, and put the future in an `Arc`.
let fence_signal = Arc::new(future.then_signal_fence());

// And then continue the chain:
// fence_signal.clone()
//      .then_execute(baz)
//      .then_execute(qux)

// Later you can wait until you reach the point of `fence_signal`:
fence_signal.wait(None).unwrap();

Methods

impl<F> FenceSignalFuture<F> where
    F: GpuFuture, 

fn wait(&self, timeout: Option<Duration>) -> Result<(), FlushError>

Blocks the current thread until the fence is signaled by the GPU. Performs a flush if necessary.

If timeout is None, then the wait is infinite. Otherwise the thread will unblock after the specified timeout has elapsed and an error will be returned.

If the wait is successful, this function also cleans any resource locked by previous submissions.

Trait Implementations

impl<F> GpuFuture for FenceSignalFuture<F> where
    F: GpuFuture, 

fn cleanup_finished(&mut self)

If possible, checks whether the submission has finished. If so, gives up ownership of the resources used by these submissions.

unsafe fn build_submission(&self) -> Result<SubmitAnyBuilder, FlushError>

Builds a submission that, if submitted, makes sure that the event represented by this GpuFuture will happen, and possibly contains extra elements (eg. a semaphore wait or an event wait) that makes the dependency with subsequent operations work.

fn flush(&self) -> Result<(), FlushError>

Flushes the future and submits to the GPU the actions that will permit this future to occur.

unsafe fn signal_finished(&self)

Sets the future to its "complete" state, meaning that it can safely be destroyed.

fn queue_change_allowed(&self) -> bool

Returns true if elements submitted after this future can be submitted to a different queue than the other returned by queue().

fn queue(&self) -> Option<Arc<Queue>>

Returns the queue that triggers the event. Returns None if unknown or irrelevant.

fn check_buffer_access(
    &self,
    buffer: &BufferAccess,
    exclusive: bool,
    queue: &Queue
) -> Result<Option<(PipelineStages, AccessFlagBits)>, AccessCheckError>

Checks whether submitting something after this future grants access (exclusive or shared, depending on the parameter) to the given buffer on the given queue.

fn check_image_access(
    &self,
    image: &ImageAccess,
    layout: ImageLayout,
    exclusive: bool,
    queue: &Queue
) -> Result<Option<(PipelineStages, AccessFlagBits)>, AccessCheckError>

Checks whether submitting something after this future grants access (exclusive or shared, depending on the parameter) to the given image on the given queue.

fn join<F>(self, other: F) -> JoinFuture<Self, F> where
    Self: Sized,
    F: GpuFuture, 

Joins this future with another one, representing the moment when both events have happened.

fn then_execute<Cb>(
    self,
    queue: Arc<Queue>,
    command_buffer: Cb
) -> Result<CommandBufferExecFuture<Self, Cb>, CommandBufferExecError> where
    Self: Sized,
    Cb: CommandBuffer + 'static, 

Executes a command buffer after this future.

fn then_execute_same_queue<Cb>(
    self,
    command_buffer: Cb
) -> Result<CommandBufferExecFuture<Self, Cb>, CommandBufferExecError> where
    Self: Sized,
    Cb: CommandBuffer + 'static, 

Executes a command buffer after this future, on the same queue as the future.

fn then_signal_semaphore(self) -> SemaphoreSignalFuture<Self> where
    Self: Sized, 

Signals a semaphore after this future. Returns another future that represents the signal.

fn then_signal_semaphore_and_flush(
    self
) -> Result<SemaphoreSignalFuture<Self>, FlushError> where
    Self: Sized, 

Signals a semaphore after this future and flushes it. Returns another future that represents the moment when the semaphore is signalled.

fn then_signal_fence(self) -> FenceSignalFuture<Self> where
    Self: Sized, 

Signals a fence after this future. Returns another future that represents the signal.

fn then_signal_fence_and_flush(
    self
) -> Result<FenceSignalFuture<Self>, FlushError> where
    Self: Sized, 

Signals a fence after this future. Returns another future that represents the signal.

fn then_swapchain_present(
    self,
    queue: Arc<Queue>,
    swapchain: Arc<Swapchain>,
    image_index: usize
) -> PresentFuture<Self> where
    Self: Sized, 

Presents a swapchain image after this future.

fn then_swapchain_present_incremental(
    self,
    queue: Arc<Queue>,
    swapchain: Arc<Swapchain>,
    image_index: usize,
    present_region: PresentRegion
) -> PresentFuture<Self> where
    Self: Sized, 

Same as then_swapchain_present, except it allows specifying a present region.

impl<F> DeviceOwned for FenceSignalFuture<F> where
    F: GpuFuture, 

fn device(&self) -> &Arc<Device>

Returns the device that owns Self.

impl<F> Drop for FenceSignalFuture<F> where
    F: GpuFuture, 

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.
