Struct RentedFloatBuffer<T>

Namespace: ValveResourceFormat.Renderer.Utils
Assembly: Renderer.dll

A scratch buffer of T elements backed by an array rented from the shared pool, for data that is written as structs but handed to GL as floats.

public readonly ref struct RentedFloatBuffer<T> where T : unmanaged

Type Parameters

T

Element type the buffer is written as.

Remarks

Renting floats for every element type keeps all of the renderer's per-frame scratch buffers in the same pool buckets instead of one set of buckets per struct type. Dispose (preferably with using) to return the array to the pool.

Constructors

RentedFloatBuffer(int)

Rents a buffer of count elements.

public RentedFloatBuffer(int count)

Parameters

count int

Number of T elements to fit.

Properties

FloatArray

Gets the rented array, for GL overloads that take a array. The pool hands out whole buckets, so this is usually longer than requested.

public float[] FloatArray { get; }

Property Value

float[]

Span

Gets the requested elements. Exactly the requested length, unlike .

public Span<T> Span { get; }

Property Value

Span<T>

Methods

Dispose()

Returns the rented array to the pool.

public void Dispose()
