Module wgpu::util

Utility structures and functions.

Structs

BufferInitDescriptor

Describes a Buffer when allocating.

DispatchIndirect

The structure expected in indirect_buffer for ComputePass::dispatch_workgroups_indirect.

DownloadBuffer

CPU accessible buffer used to download data back from the GPU.

DrawIndexedIndirect

The structure expected in indirect_buffer for RenderEncoder::draw_indexed_indirect.

DrawIndirect

The structure expected in indirect_buffer for RenderEncoder::draw_indirect.

StagingBelt

Efficiently performs many buffer writes by sharing and reusing temporary buffers.

Traits

DeviceExt

Utility methods not meant to be in the main API.

RenderEncoder

Methods shared by RenderPass and RenderBundleEncoder.

Functions

align_to

Aligns a value to an alignment.

backend_bits_from_env

Get a set of backend bits from the environment variable WGPU_BACKEND.

initialize_adapter_from_env

Initialize the adapter obeying the WGPU_ADAPTER_NAME environment variable.

initialize_adapter_from_env_or_default

Initialize the adapter obeying the WGPU_ADAPTER_NAME environment variable and if it doesn’t exist fall back on a default adapter.

make_spirv

Treat the given byte slice as a SPIR-V module.

make_spirv_raw

Version of make_spirv intended for use with Device::create_shader_module_spirv. Returns raw slice instead of ShaderSource.

parse_backends_from_comma_list

Generates a set of backends from a comma separated list of case-insensitive backend names.

power_preference_from_env

Get a power preference from the environment variable WGPU_POWER_PREF
