C Specification
Transform feedback for specific transform feedback buffers is made active by calling:
void vkCmdBeginTransformFeedbackEXT(
VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,
uint32_t firstCounterBuffer,
uint32_t counterBufferCount,
const VkBuffer* pCounterBuffers,
const VkDeviceSize* pCounterBufferOffsets);
Parameters
-
commandBuffer
is the command buffer into which the command is recorded. -
firstCounterBuffer
is the index of the first transform feedback buffer corresponding topCounterBuffers
[0] andpCounterBufferOffsets
[0]. -
counterBufferCount
is the size of thepCounterBuffers
andpCounterBufferOffsets
arrays. -
pCounterBuffers
is an optional array of buffer handles to the counter buffers which contain a 4 byte integer value representing the byte offset from the start of the corresponding transform feedback buffer from where to start capturing vertex data. If the byte offset stored to the counter buffer location was done using vkCmdEndTransformFeedbackEXT it can be used to resume transform feedback from the previous location. IfpCounterBuffers
isNULL
, then transform feedback will start capturing vertex data to byte offset zero in all bound transform feedback buffers. For each element ofpCounterBuffers
that is VK_NULL_HANDLE, transform feedback will start capturing vertex data to byte zero in the corresponding bound transform feedback buffer. -
pCounterBufferOffsets
is an optional array of offsets within each of thepCounterBuffers
where the counter values were previously written. The location in each counter buffer at these offsets must be large enough to contain 4 bytes of data. This data is the number of bytes captured by the previous transform feedback to this buffer. IfpCounterBufferOffsets
isNULL
, then it is assumed the offsets are zero.
Description
The active transform feedback buffers will capture primitives emitted from
the corresponding XfbBuffer
in the bound graphics pipeline.
Any XfbBuffer
emitted that does not output to an active transform
feedback buffer will not be captured.
