Module spirv_std::byte_addressable_buffer
source · Expand description
Container for an untyped blob of data.
Structs
ByteAddressableBuffer is an untyped blob of data, allowing loads and stores of arbitrary
basic data types at arbitrary indicies. However, all data must be aligned to size 4, each
element within the data (e.g. struct fields) must have a size and alignment of a multiple of 4,
and the byte_index passed to load and store must be a multiple of 4 (byte_index will be
rounded down to the nearest multiple of 4). So, it’s not technically a byte addressable
buffer, but rather a word buffer, but this naming and behavior was inhereted from HLSL (where
it’s UB to pass in an index not a multiple of 4).
