Detailed Description

=====================================================================

===================================================================== This class represents a single RPI::Buffer used to allocate sub-buffers from the existing buffer that can then be used per draw. In a way, this buffer is used as a memory pool from which sub-buffers are being created. This is very useful when we want to synchronize the use of these buffers via barriers so we declare and pass the entire buffer between passes and therefore we are creating a dependency and barrier for this single buffer, yet as a result all sub-buffers are now getting synced between passes.

Member Function Documentation

Allocate()

AZStd::intrusive_ptr<SharedBufferAllocation> AZ::Meshlets::SharedBuffer::Allocate ( size_t  byteCount )

overridevirtual

If the allocation succeeds, returns a ref-counted pointer to a VirtualAddress which will be automatically freed if the ref-count drops to zero If the allocation fails, returns nullptr

Implements AZ::Meshlets::SharedBufferInterface.

DeAllocate()

void AZ::Meshlets::SharedBuffer::DeAllocate ( RHI::VirtualAddress  allocation )

overridevirtual

Mark the memory as available and queue garbage collection to recycle it later (see RHI::Allocator::DeAllocate) After garbage collection is done signal handlers that memory has been freed

Implements AZ::Meshlets::SharedBufferInterface.

DeAllocateNoSignal()

void AZ::Meshlets::SharedBuffer::DeAllocateNoSignal ( RHI::VirtualAddress  allocation )

overridevirtual

Same as DeAllocate, but the signal after garbage collection is ignored If multiple allocations succeeded before one failed, use this to release the successful allocations without triggering new events indicating that new memory has been freed

Implements AZ::Meshlets::SharedBufferInterface.
