Struct vulkano::buffer::cpu_access::CpuAccessibleBuffer

pub struct CpuAccessibleBuffer<T, A = PotentialDedicatedAllocation<StandardMemoryPoolAlloc>>where
    T: BufferContents + ?Sized,{ /* private fields */ }

Buffer whose content is accessible by the CPU.

Setting the host_cached field on the various initializers to true will make it so the CpuAccessibleBuffer prefers to allocate from host_cached memory. Host cached memory caches GPU data on the CPU side. This can be more performant in cases where the cpu needs to read data coming off the GPU.

Implementations

impl<T> CpuAccessibleBuffer<T>where
    T: BufferContents,

pub fn from_data(
    device: Arc<Device>,
    usage: BufferUsage,
    host_cached: bool,
    data: T
) -> Result<Arc<CpuAccessibleBuffer<T>>, DeviceMemoryError>

Builds a new buffer with some data in it. Only allowed for sized data.

Panics

• Panics if T has zero size.

pub unsafe fn uninitialized(
    device: Arc<Device>,
    usage: BufferUsage,
    host_cached: bool
) -> Result<Arc<CpuAccessibleBuffer<T>>, DeviceMemoryError>

Builds a new uninitialized buffer. Only allowed for sized data.

Panics

• Panics if T has zero size.

impl<T> CpuAccessibleBuffer<[T]>where
    [T]: BufferContents,

pub fn from_iter<I>(
    device: Arc<Device>,
    usage: BufferUsage,
    host_cached: bool,
    data: I
) -> Result<Arc<CpuAccessibleBuffer<[T]>>, DeviceMemoryError>where
    I: IntoIterator<Item = T>,
    I::IntoIter: ExactSizeIterator,

Builds a new buffer that contains an array T. The initial data comes from an iterator that produces that list of Ts.

Panics

• Panics if T has zero size.
• Panics if data is empty.

pub unsafe fn uninitialized_array(
    device: Arc<Device>,
    len: DeviceSize,
    usage: BufferUsage,
    host_cached: bool
) -> Result<Arc<CpuAccessibleBuffer<[T]>>, DeviceMemoryError>

Builds a new buffer. Can be used for arrays.

Panics

• Panics if T has zero size.
• Panics if len is zero.

impl<T> CpuAccessibleBuffer<T>where
    T: BufferContents + ?Sized,

pub unsafe fn raw(
    device: Arc<Device>,
    size: DeviceSize,
    usage: BufferUsage,
    host_cached: bool,
    queue_family_indices: impl IntoIterator<Item = u32>
) -> Result<Arc<CpuAccessibleBuffer<T>>, DeviceMemoryError>

Builds a new buffer without checking the size.

Safety

• You must ensure that the size that you pass is correct for T.

Panics

• Panics if size is zero.

impl<T, A> CpuAccessibleBuffer<T, A>where
    T: BufferContents + ?Sized,

pub fn queue_family_indices(&self) -> &[u32]

Returns the queue families this buffer can be used on.

impl<T, A> CpuAccessibleBuffer<T, A>where
    T: BufferContents + ?Sized,
    A: MemoryPoolAlloc,

pub fn read(&self) -> Result<ReadLock<'_, T, A>, ReadLockError>

Locks the buffer in order to read its content from the CPU.

If the buffer is currently used in exclusive mode by the GPU, this function will return an error. Similarly if you called write() on the buffer and haven’t dropped the lock, this function will return an error as well.

After this function successfully locks the buffer, any attempt to submit a command buffer that uses it in exclusive mode will fail. You can still submit this buffer for non-exclusive accesses (ie. reads).

pub fn write(&self) -> Result<WriteLock<'_, T, A>, WriteLockError>

Locks the buffer in order to write its content from the CPU.

If the buffer is currently in use by the GPU, this function will return an error. Similarly if you called read() on the buffer and haven’t dropped the lock, this function will return an error as well.

After this function successfully locks the buffer, any attempt to submit a command buffer that uses it and any attempt to call read() will return an error.

Trait Implementations

    T: BufferContents + ?Sized,
    A: Send + Sync,

fn inner(&self) -> BufferInner<'_>

Returns the inner information about this buffer.

fn size(&self) -> DeviceSize

Returns the size of the buffer in bytes.

fn usage(&self) -> &BufferUsage

Returns the usage the buffer was created with.

fn into_buffer_slice(self: &Arc<Self>) -> Arc<BufferSlice<Self::Content, Self>>where
    Self: Sized + TypedBufferAccess,

Returns a BufferSlice covering the whole buffer.

fn slice<T>(
    self: &Arc<Self>,
    range: Range<DeviceSize>
) -> Option<Arc<BufferSlice<[T], Self>>>where
    Self: Sized + TypedBufferAccess<Content = [T]>,

Returns a BufferSlice for a subrange of elements in the buffer. Returns None if out of range.

fn index<T>(
    self: &Arc<Self>,
    index: DeviceSize
) -> Option<Arc<BufferSlice<T, Self>>>where
    Self: Sized + TypedBufferAccess<Content = [T]>,

Returns a BufferSlice for a single element in the buffer. Returns None if out of range.

fn raw_device_address(&self) -> Result<NonZeroU64, BufferDeviceAddressError>

Gets the device address for this buffer.

impl<T: Debug, A: Debug> Debug for CpuAccessibleBuffer<T, A>where
    T: BufferContents + ?Sized,

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
