43 \brief Accelerated 2D/3D graphics API abstraction.
44
45 The Qt Rendering Hardware Interface is an abstraction for hardware accelerated
46 graphics APIs, such as, \l{https://www.khronos.org/opengl/}{OpenGL},
47 \l{https://www.khronos.org/opengles/}{OpenGL ES},
48 \l{https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/direct3d}{Direct3D},
49 \l{https://developer.apple.com/metal/}{Metal}, and
50 \l{https://www.khronos.org/vulkan/}{Vulkan}.
51
52 \warning The QRhi family of classes in the Qt Gui module, including QShader
53 and QShaderDescription, offer limited compatibility guarantees. There are
54 no source or binary compatibility guarantees for these classes, meaning the
55 API is only guaranteed to work with the Qt version the application was
56 developed against. Source incompatible changes are however aimed to be kept
57 at a minimum and will only be made in minor releases (6.7, 6.8, and so on).
58 To use these classes in an application, link to
59 \c{Qt::GuiPrivate} (if using CMake), and include the headers with the \c
60 rhi prefix, for example \c{#include <rhi/qrhi.h>}.
61
62 Each QRhi instance is backed by a backend for a specific graphics API. The
63 selection of the backend is a run time choice and is up to the application
64 or library that creates the QRhi instance. Some backends are available on
65 multiple platforms (OpenGL, Vulkan, Null), while APIs specific to a given
66 platform are only available when running on the platform in question (Metal
67 on macOS/iOS, Direct3D on Windows).
68
69 The available backends currently are:
70
71 \list
72
73 \li OpenGL 2.1 / OpenGL ES 2.0 or newer. Some extensions and newer core
74 specification features are utilized when present, for example to enable
75 multisample framebuffers or compute shaders. Operating in core profile
76 contexts is supported as well. If necessary, applications can query the
77 \l{QRhi::Feature}{feature flags} at runtime to check for features that are
78 not supported in the OpenGL context backing the QRhi. The OpenGL backend
79 builds on QOpenGLContext, QOpenGLFunctions, and the related cross-platform
80 infrastructure of the Qt GUI module.
81
82 \li Direct3D 11.2 and newer (with DXGI 1.3 and newer), using Shader Model
83 5.0 or newer. When the D3D runtime has no support for 11.2 features or
84 Shader Model 5.0, initialization using an accelerated graphics device will
85 fail, but using the
86 \l{https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3darticles/directx-warp}{software
87 adapter} is still an option.
88
89 \li Direct3D 12 on Windows 10 version 1703 and newer, with Shader Model 5.0
90 or newer. Qt requires ID3D12Device2 to be present, hence the requirement
91 for at least version 1703 of Windows 10. The D3D12 device is by default
92 created with specifying a minimum feature level of
93 \c{D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_0}.
94
95 \li Metal 1.2 or newer.
96
97 \li Vulkan 1.0 or newer, optionally utilizing some Vulkan 1.1 level
98 features.
99
100 \li Null, a "dummy" backend that issues no graphics calls at all.
101
102 \endlist
103
104 In order to allow shader code to be written once in Qt applications and
105 libraries, all shaders are expected to be written in a single language
106 which is then compiled into SPIR-V. Versions for various shading language
107 are then generated from that, together with reflection information (inputs,
108 outputs, shader resources). This is then packed into easily and efficiently
109 serializable QShader instances. The compilers and tools to generate such
110 shaders are not part of QRhi and the Qt GUI module, but the core classes
111 for using such shaders, QShader and QShaderDescription, are. The APIs and
112 tools for performing compilation and translation are part of the Qt Shader
113 Tools module.
114
115 See the \l{RHI Window Example} for an introductory example of creating a
116 portable, cross-platform application that performs accelerated 3D rendering
117 onto a QWindow using QRhi.
118
119 \section1 An Impression of the API
120
121 To provide a quick look at the API with a short yet complete example that
122 does not involve window-related setup, the following is a complete,
123 runnable cross-platform application that renders 20 frames off-screen, and
124 then saves the generated images to files after reading back the texture
125 contents from the GPU. For an example that renders on-screen, which then
126 involves setting up a QWindow and a swapchain, refer to the
127 \l{RHI Window Example}.
128
129 For brevity, the initialization of the QRhi is done based on the platform:
130 the sample code here chooses Direct 3D 12 on Windows, Metal on macOS and
131 iOS, and Vulkan otherwise. OpenGL and Direct 3D 11 are never used by this
132 application, but support for those could be introduced with a few
133 additional lines.
134
135 \snippet rhioffscreen/main.cpp 0
136
137 The result of the application is 20 \c PNG images (frame0.png -
138 frame19.png). These contain a rotating triangle with varying opacity over a
139 green background.
140
141 The vertex and fragment shaders are expected to be processed and packaged
142 into \c{.qsb} files. The Vulkan-compatible GLSL source code is the
143 following:
144
145 \e color.vert
146 \snippet rhioffscreen/color.vert 0
147
148 \e color.frag
149 \snippet rhioffscreen/color.frag 0
150
151 To manually compile and transpile these shaders to a number of targets
152 (SPIR-V, HLSL, MSL, GLSL) and generate the \c{.qsb} files the application
153 loads at run time, run \c{qsb --qt6 color.vert -o color.vert.qsb} and
154 \c{qsb --qt6 color.frag -o color.frag.qsb}. Alternatively, the Qt Shader
155 Tools module offers build system integration for CMake, the
156 \c qt_add_shaders() CMake function, that can achieve the same at build time.
157
158 \section1 Security Considerations
159
160 All data consumed by QRhi and related classes such as QShader are considered
161 trusted content.
162
163 \warning Application developers are advised to carefully consider the
164 potential implications before allowing the feeding of user-provided content
165 that is not part of the application and is not under the developers'
166 control. (this includes all vertex/index data, shaders, pipeline and draw
167 call parameters, etc.)
168
169 \section1 Design Fundamentals
170
171 A QRhi cannot be instantiated directly. Instead, use the create()
172 function. Delete the QRhi instance normally to release the graphics device.
173
174 \section2 Resources
175
176 Instances of classes deriving from QRhiResource, such as, QRhiBuffer,
177 QRhiTexture, etc., encapsulate zero, one, or more native graphics
178 resources. Instances of such classes are always created via the \c new
179 functions of the QRhi, such as, newBuffer(), newTexture(),
180 newTextureRenderTarget(), newSwapChain().
181
182 \code
183 QRhiBuffer *vbuf = rhi->newBuffer(QRhiBuffer::Immutable, QRhiBuffer::VertexBuffer, sizeof(vertexData));
184 if (!vbuf->create()) { error(); }
185 // ...
186 delete vbuf;
187 \endcode
188
189 \list
190
191 \li The returned value from functions like newBuffer() is always owned by
192 the caller.
193
194 \li Just creating an instance of a QRhiResource subclass never allocates or
195 initializes any native resources. That is only done when calling the
196 \c create() function of a subclass, for example, QRhiBuffer::create() or
197 QRhiTexture::create().
198
199 \li The exceptions are
200 QRhiTextureRenderTarget::newCompatibleRenderPassDescriptor(),
201 QRhiSwapChain::newCompatibleRenderPassDescriptor(), and
202 QRhiRenderPassDescriptor::newCompatibleRenderPassDescriptor(). There is no
203 \c create() operation for these and the returned object is immediately
204 active.
205
206 \li The resource objects themselves are treated as immutable: once a
207 resource has create() called, changing any parameters via the setters, such as,
208 QRhiTexture::setPixelSize(), has no effect, unless the underlying native
209 resource is released and \c create() is called again. See more about resource
210 reuse in the sections below.
211
212 \li The underlying native resources are scheduled for releasing by the
213 QRhiResource destructor, or by calling QRhiResource::destroy(). Backends
214 often queue release requests and defer executing them to an unspecified
215 time, this is hidden from the applications. This way applications do not
216 have to worry about releasing native resources that may still be in use by
217 an in-flight frame.
218
219 \li Note that this does not mean that a QRhiResource can freely be
220 destroy()'ed or deleted within a frame (that is, in a
221 \l{QRhi::beginFrame()}{beginFrame()} - \l{QRhi::endFrame()}{endFrame()}
222 section). As a general rule, all referenced QRhiResource objects must stay
223 unchanged until the frame is submitted by calling
224 \l{QRhi::endFrame()}{endFrame()}. To ease this,
225 QRhiResource::deleteLater() is provided as a convenience.
226
227 \endlist
228
229 \section2 Command buffers and deferred command execution
230
231 Regardless of the design and capabilities of the underlying graphics API,
232 all QRhi backends implement some level of command buffers. No
233 QRhiCommandBuffer function issues any native bind or draw command (such as,
234 \c glDrawElements) directly. Commands are always recorded in a queue,
235 either native or provided by the QRhi backend. The command buffer is
236 submitted, and so execution starts only upon QRhi::endFrame() or
237 QRhi::finish().
238
239 The deferred nature has consequences for some types of objects. For example,
240 writing to a dynamic buffer multiple times within a frame, in case such
241 buffers are backed by host-visible memory, will result in making the
242 results of all writes are visible to all draw calls in the command buffer
243 of the frame, regardless of when the dynamic buffer update was recorded
244 relative to a draw call.
245
246 Furthermore, instances of QRhiResource subclasses must be treated immutable
247 within a frame in which they are referenced in any way. Create
248 all resources upfront, before starting to record commands for the next
249 frame. Reusing a QRhiResource instance within a frame (by calling \c create()
250 then referencing it again in the same \c{beginFrame - endFrame} section)
251 should be avoided as it may lead to unexpected results, depending on the
252 backend.
253
254 As a general rule, all referenced QRhiResource objects must stay valid and
255 unmodified until the frame is submitted by calling
256 \l{QRhi::endFrame()}{endFrame()}. On the other hand, calling
257 \l{QRhiResource::destroy()}{destroy()} or deleting the QRhiResource are
258 always safe once the frame is submitted, regardless of the status of the
259 underlying native resources (which may still be in use by the GPU - but
260 that is taken care of internally).
261
262 Unlike APIs like OpenGL, upload and copy type of commands cannot be mixed
263 with draw commands. The typical renderer will involve a sequence similar to
264 the following:
265
266 \list
267 \li (re)create resources
268 \li begin frame
269 \li record/issue uploads and copies
270 \li start recording a render pass
271 \li record draw calls
272 \li end render pass
273 \li end frame
274 \endlist
275
276 Recording copy type of operations happens via QRhiResourceUpdateBatch. Such
277 operations are committed typically on
278 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::beginPass()}{beginPass()}.
279
280 When working with legacy rendering engines designed for OpenGL, the
281 migration to QRhi often involves redesigning from having a single \c render
282 step (that performs copies and uploads, clears buffers, and issues draw
283 calls, all mixed together) to a clearly separated, two phase \c prepare -
284 \c render setup where the \c render step only starts a renderpass and
285 records draw calls, while all resource creation and queuing of updates,
286 uploads and copies happens beforehand, in the \c prepare step.
287
288 QRhi does not at the moment allow freely creating and submitting command
289 buffers. This may be lifted in the future to some extent, in particular if
290 compute support is introduced, but the model of well defined
291 \c{frame-start} and \c{frame-end} points, combined with a dedicated,
292 "frame" command buffer, where \c{frame-end} implies presenting, is going to
293 remain the primary way of operating since this is what fits Qt's various UI
294 technologies best.
295
296 \section2 Threading
297
298 A QRhi instance and the associated resources can be created and used on any
299 thread but all usage must be limited to that one single thread. When
300 rendering to multiple QWindows in an application, having a dedicated thread
301 and QRhi instance for each window is often advisable, as this can eliminate
302 issues with unexpected throttling caused by presenting to multiple windows.
303 Conceptually that is then the same as how Qt Quick scene graph's threaded
304 render loop operates when working directly with OpenGL: one thread for each
305 window, one QOpenGLContext for each thread. When moving onto QRhi,
306 QOpenGLContext is replaced by QRhi, making the migration straightforward.
307
308 When it comes to externally created native objects, such as OpenGL contexts
309 passed in via QRhiGles2NativeHandles, it is up to the application to ensure
310 they are not misused by other threads.
311
312 Resources are not shareable between QRhi instances. This is an intentional
313 choice since QRhi hides most queue, command buffer, and resource
314 synchronization related tasks, and provides no API for them. Safe and
315 efficient concurrent use of graphics resources from multiple threads is
316 tied to those concepts, however, and is thus a topic that is currently out
317 of scope, but may be introduced in the future.
318
319 \note The Metal backend requires that an autorelease pool is available on
320 the rendering thread, ideally wrapping each iteration of the render loop.
321 This needs no action from the users of QRhi when rendering on the main
322 (gui) thread, but becomes important when a separate, dedicated render
323 thread is used.
324
325 \section2 Resource synchronization
326
327 QRhi does not expose APIs for resource barriers or image layout
328 transitions. Such synchronization is done implicitly by the backends, where
329 applicable (for example, Vulkan), by tracking resource usage as necessary.
330 Buffer and image barriers are inserted before render or compute passes
331 transparently to the application.
332
333 \note Resources within a render or compute pass are expected to be bound to
334 a single usage during that pass. For example, a buffer can be used as
335 vertex, index, uniform, or storage buffer, but not a combination of them
336 within a single pass. However, it is perfectly fine to use a buffer as a
337 storage buffer in a compute pass, and then as a vertex buffer in a render
338 pass, for example, assuming the buffer declared both usages upon creation.
339
340 \note Textures have this rule relaxed in certain cases, because using two
341 subresources (typically two different mip levels) of the same texture for
342 different access (one for load, one for store) is supported even within the
343 same pass.
344
345 \section2 Resource reuse
346
347 From the user's point of view a QRhiResource is reusable immediately after
348 calling QRhiResource::destroy(). With the exception of swapchains, calling
349 \c create() on an already created object does an implicit \c destroy(). This
350 provides a handy shortcut to reuse a QRhiResource instance with different
351 parameters, with a new native graphics object underneath.
352
353 The importance of reusing the same object lies in the fact that some
354 objects reference other objects: for example, a QRhiShaderResourceBindings
355 can reference QRhiBuffer, QRhiTexture, and QRhiSampler instances. If in a
356 later frame one of these buffers need to be resized or a sampler parameter
357 needs changing, destroying and creating a whole new QRhiBuffer or
358 QRhiSampler would invalidate all references to the old instance. By just
359 changing the appropriate parameters via QRhiBuffer::setSize() or similar
360 and then calling QRhiBuffer::create(), everything works as expected and
361 there is no need to touch the QRhiShaderResourceBindings at all, even
362 though there is a good chance that under the hood the QRhiBuffer is now
363 backed by a whole new native buffer.
364
365 \code
366 QRhiBuffer *ubuf = rhi->newBuffer(QRhiBuffer::Dynamic, QRhiBuffer::UniformBuffer, 256);
367 ubuf->create();
368
369 QRhiShaderResourceBindings *srb = rhi->newShaderResourceBindings()
370 srb->setBindings({
371 QRhiShaderResourceBinding::uniformBuffer(0, QRhiShaderResourceBinding::VertexStage | QRhiShaderResourceBinding::FragmentStage, ubuf)
372 });
373 srb->create();
374
375 // ...
376
377 // now in a later frame we need to grow the buffer to a larger size
378 ubuf->setSize(512);
379 ubuf->create(); // same as ubuf->destroy(); ubuf->create();
380
381 // srb needs no changes whatsoever, any references in it to ubuf
382 // stay valid. When it comes to internal details, such as that
383 // ubuf may now be backed by a completely different native buffer
384 // resource, that is is recognized and handled automatically by the
385 // next setShaderResources().
386 \endcode
387
388 QRhiTextureRenderTarget offers the same contract: calling
389 QRhiCommandBuffer::beginPass() is safe even when one of the render target's
390 associated textures or renderbuffers has been rebuilt (by calling \c
391 create() on it) since the creation of the render target object. This allows
392 the application to resize a texture by setting a new pixel size on the
393 QRhiTexture and calling create(), thus creating a whole new native texture
394 resource underneath, without having to update the QRhiTextureRenderTarget
395 as that will be done implicitly in beginPass().
396
397 \section2 Pooled objects
398
399 In addition to resources, there are pooled objects as well, such as,
400 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch. An instance is retrieved via a \c next function,
401 such as, nextResourceUpdateBatch(). The caller does not own the returned
402 instance in this case. The only valid way of operating here is calling
403 functions on the QRhiResourceUpdateBatch and then passing it to
404 QRhiCommandBuffer::beginPass() or QRhiCommandBuffer::endPass(). These
405 functions take care of returning the batch to the pool. Alternatively, a
406 batch can be "canceled" and returned to the pool without processing by
407 calling QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::release().
408
409 A typical pattern is thus:
410
411 \code
412 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch *resUpdates = rhi->nextResourceUpdateBatch();
413 // ...
414 resUpdates->updateDynamicBuffer(ubuf, 0, 64, mvp.constData());
415 if (!image.isNull()) {
416 resUpdates->uploadTexture(texture, image);
417 image = QImage();
418 }
419 // ...
420 QRhiCommandBuffer *cb = m_sc->currentFrameCommandBuffer();
421 // note the last argument
422 cb->beginPass(swapchain->currentFrameRenderTarget(), clearCol, clearDs, resUpdates);
423 \endcode
424
425 \section2 Swapchain specifics
426
427 QRhiSwapChain features some special semantics due to the peculiar nature of
428 swapchains.
429
430 \list
431
432 \li It has no \c create() but rather a QRhiSwapChain::createOrResize().
433 Repeatedly calling this function is \b not the same as calling
434 QRhiSwapChain::destroy() followed by QRhiSwapChain::createOrResize(). This
435 is because swapchains often have ways to handle the case where buffers need
436 to be resized in a manner that is more efficient than a brute force
437 destroying and recreating from scratch.
438
439 \li An active QRhiSwapChain must be released by calling
440 \l{QRhiSwapChain::destroy()}{destroy()}, or by destroying the object, before
441 the QWindow's underlying QPlatformWindow, and so the associated native
442 window object, is destroyed. It should not be postponed because releasing
443 the swapchain may become problematic (and with some APIs, like Vulkan, is
444 explicitly disallowed) when the native window is not around anymore, for
445 example because the QPlatformWindow got destroyed upon getting a
446 QWindow::close(). Therefore, releasing the swapchain must happen whenever
447 the targeted QWindow sends the
448 QPlatformSurfaceEvent::SurfaceAboutToBeDestroyed event. If the event does
449 not arrive before the destruction of the QWindow - this can happen when
450 using QCoreApplication::quit() -, then check QWindow::handle() after the
451 event loop exits and invoke the swapchain release when non-null (meaning
452 the underlying native window is still around).
453
454 \endlist
455
456 \section2 Ownership
457
458 The general rule is no ownership transfer. Creating a QRhi with an already
459 existing graphics device does not mean the QRhi takes ownership of the
460 device object. Similarly, ownership is not given away when a device or
461 texture object is "exported" via QRhi::nativeHandles() or
462 QRhiTexture::nativeTexture(). Most importantly, passing pointers in structs
463 and via setters does not transfer ownership.
464
465 \section1 Troubleshooting and Profiling
466
467 \section2 Error reporting
468
469 Functions such as \l QRhi::create() and the resource classes' \c create()
470 member functions (e.g., \l QRhiBuffer::create()) indicate failure with the
471 return value (\nullptr or
472 \c false, respectively). When working with QShader, \l QShader::fromSerialized()
473 returns an invalid QShader (for which \l{QShader::isValid()}{isValid()} returns
474 \c false) when the data passed to the function cannot be successfully deserialized.
475 Some functions, beginFrame() in particular, may also sometimes report "soft failures",
476 such as \l FrameOpSwapChainOutOfDate, which do not indicate an unrecoverable error,
477 but rather should be seen as a "try again later" response.
478
479 Warnings and errors may get printed at any time to the debug output via
480 qWarning(). It is therefore always advisable to inspect the output of the
481 application.
482
483 Additional debug messages can be enabled via the following logging
484 categories. Messages from these categories are not printed by default
485 unless explicitly enabled via QLoggingCategory or the \c QT_LOGGING_RULES
486 environment variable. For better interoperation with Qt Quick, the
487 environment variable \c{QSG_INFO} also enables these debug prints.
488
489 \list
490 \li \c{qt.rhi.general}
491 \endlist
492
493 Additionally, applications can query the \l{QRhi::backendName()}{QRhi
494 backend name} and
495 \l{QRhi::driverInfo()}{graphics device information} from a successfully
496 initialized QRhi. This can then be printed to the user or stored in the
497 application logs even in production builds, if desired.
498
499 \section2 Investigating rendering problems
500
501 When the rendering results are not as expected, or the application is
502 experiencing problems, always consider checking with the the native 3D
503 APIs' debug and validation facilities. QRhi itself features limited error
504 checking since replicating the already existing, vast amount of
505 functionality in the underlying layers is not reasonable.
506
507 \list
508
509 \li For Vulkan, controlling the
510 \l{https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers}{Vulkan
511 Validation Layers} is not in the scope of the QRhi, but rather can be
512 achieved by configuring the \l QVulkanInstance with the appropriate layers.
513 For example, call \c{instance.setLayers({ "VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation" });}
514 before invoking \l{QVulkanInstance::create()}{create()} on the QVulkanInstance.
515 (note that this assumes that the validation layers are actually installed
516 and available, e.g. from the Vulkan SDK) By default, QVulkanInstance conveniently
517 redirects the Vulkan debug messages to qDebug, meaning the validation messages get
518 printed just like other Qt warnings.
519
520 \li With Direct 3D 11 and 12, a graphics device with the debug layer
521 enabled can be requested by toggling the \c enableDebugLayer flag in the
522 appropriate \l{QRhiD3D11InitParams}{init params struct}. The messages appear on the
523 debug output, which is visible in Qt Creator's messages panel or via a tool
524 such as \l{https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/debugview}{DebugView}.
525
526 \li For Metal, controlling Metal Validation is outside of QRhi's scope.
527 Rather, to enable validation, run the application with the environment
528 variable \c{METAL_DEVICE_WRAPPER_TYPE=1} set, or run the application within
529 XCode. There may also be further settings and environment variable in modern
530 XCode and macOS versions. See for instance
531 \l{https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metal/diagnosing_metal_programming_issues_early}{this
532 page}.

536 \section2 Frame captures and performance profiling
537
538 A Qt application rendering with QRhi to a window while relying on a 3D API
539 under the hood, is, from the windowing and graphics pipeline perspective at
540 least, no different from any other (non-Qt) applications using the same 3D
541 API. This means that tools and practices for debugging and profiling
542 applications involving 3D graphics, such as games, all apply to such a Qt
543 application as well.
544
545 A few examples of tools that can provide insights into the rendering
546 internals of Qt applications that use QRhi, which includes Qt Quick and Qt
547 Quick 3D based projects as well:
548
549 \list
550
551 \li \l{https://renderdoc.org/}{RenderDoc} allows taking frame captures and
552 introspecting the recorded commands and pipeline state on Windows and Linux
553 for applications using OpenGL, Vulkan, D3D11, or D3D12. When trying to
554 figure out why some parts of the 3D scene do not show up as expected,
555 RenderDoc is often a fast and efficient way to check the pipeline stages
556 and the related state and discover the missing or incorrect value. It is
557 also a tool that is actively used when developing Qt itself.
558
559 \li For NVIDIA-based systems,
560 \l{https://developer.nvidia.com/nsight-graphics}{Nsight Graphics} provides
561 a graphics debugger tool on Windows and Linux. In addition to investigating the commands
562 in the frame and the pipeline, the vendor-specific tools allow looking at timings and
563 hardware performance information, which is not something simple frame captures can provide.
564
565 \li For AMD-based systems, the \l{https://gpuopen.com/rgp/}{Radeon GPU
566 Profiler} can be used to gain deeper insights into the application's
567 rendering and its performance.
568
569 \li Overlays showing live performance information can be highly useful as well, and
570 are often preferable to implementing simple frames-per-second counters within the
571 application itself, since they are more reliable and show more information. An example
572 is \l{https://game.intel.com/us/intel-presentmon/}{PresentMon}, which supports
573 graphics hardware from multiple vendors.
574
575 \li As QRhi supports Direct 3D 12, using
576 \l{https://devblogs.microsoft.com/pix/download/}{PIX}, a performance tuning
577 and debugging tool for DirectX 12 games on Windows is an option as well.
578
579 \li On macOS,
580 \l{https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metal/debugging_tools/viewing_your_gpu_workload_with_the_metal_debugger}{the
581 XCode Metal debugger} can be used to take and introspect frame
582 captures, to investigate performance details, and debug shaders. In macOS 13 it is also possible
583 to enable an overlay that displays frame rate and other information for any Metal-based window by
584 setting the environment variable \c{MTL_HUD_ENABLED=1}.
585
586 \endlist
587
588 On mobile and embedded platforms, there may be vendor and platform-specific
589 tools, provided by the GPU or SoC vendor, available to perform performance
590 profiling of application using OpenGL ES or Vulkan.
591
592 When capturing frames, remember that objects and groups of commands can be
593 named via debug markers, as long as \l{QRhi::EnableDebugMarkers}{debug
594 markers were enabled} for the QRhi, and the graphics API in use supports
595 this. To annotate the command stream, call
596 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::debugMarkBegin()}{debugMarkBegin()},
597 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::debugMarkEnd()}{debugMarkEnd()} and/or
598 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::debugMarkMsg()}{debugMarkMsg()}.
599 This can be particularly useful in larger frames with multiple render passes.
600 Resources are named by calling \l{QRhiResource::setName()}{setName()} before create().
601
602 To perform basic timing measurements on the CPU and GPU side within the
603 application, \l QElapsedTimer and
604 \l QRhiCommandBuffer::lastCompletedGpuTime() can be used. The latter is
605 only available with select graphics APIs at the moment and requires opting
606 in via the \l QRhi::EnableTimestamps flag.
607
608 \section2 Resource leak checking
609
610 When destroying a QRhi object without properly destroying all buffers,
611 textures, and other resources created from it, warnings about this are
612 printed to the debug output whenever the application is a debug build, or
613 when the \c QT_RHI_LEAK_CHECK environment variable is set to a non-zero
614 value. This is a simple way to discover design issues around resource
615 handling within the application rendering logic. Note however that some
616 platforms and underlying graphics APIs may perform their own allocation and
617 resource leak detection as well, over which Qt will have no direct control.
618 For example, when using Vulkan, the memory allocator may raise failing
619 assertions in debug builds when resources that own graphics memory
620 allocations are not destroyed before the QRhi. In addition, the Vulkan
621 validation layer, when enabled, will issue warnings about native graphics
622 resources that were not released. Similarly, with Direct 3D warnings may
623 get printed about unreleased COM objects when the application does not
624 destroy the QRhi and its resources in the correct order.

645 \enum QRhi::Flag
646 Describes what special features to enable.
647
648 \value EnableDebugMarkers Enables debug marker groups. Without this frame
649 debugging features like making debug groups and custom resource name
650 visible in external GPU debugging tools will not be available and functions
651 like QRhiCommandBuffer::debugMarkBegin() will become no-ops. Avoid enabling
652 in production builds as it may involve a small performance impact. Has no
653 effect when the QRhi::DebugMarkers feature is not reported as supported.
654
655 \value EnableTimestamps Enables GPU timestamp collection. When not set,
656 QRhiCommandBuffer::lastCompletedGpuTime() always returns 0. Enable this
657 only when needed since there may be a small amount of extra work involved
658 (e.g. timestamp queries), depending on the underlying graphics API. Has no
659 effect when the QRhi::Timestamps feature is not reported as supported.
660
661 \value PreferSoftwareRenderer Indicates that backends should prefer
662 choosing an adapter or physical device that renders in software on the CPU.
663 For example, with Direct3D there is typically a "Basic Render Driver"
664 adapter available with \c{DXGI_ADAPTER_FLAG_SOFTWARE}. Setting this flag
665 requests the backend to choose that adapter over any other, as long as no
666 specific adapter was forced by other backend-specific means. With Vulkan
667 this maps to preferring physical devices with
668 \c{VK_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU}. When not available, or when it is not
669 possible to decide if an adapter/device is software-based, this flag is
670 ignored. It may also be ignored with graphics APIs that have no concept and
671 means of enumerating adapters/devices.
672
673 \value EnablePipelineCacheDataSave Enables retrieving the pipeline cache
674 contents, where applicable. When not set, pipelineCacheData() will return
675 an empty blob always. With backends where retrieving and restoring the
676 pipeline cache contents is not supported, the flag has no effect and the
677 serialized cache data is always empty. The flag provides an opt-in
678 mechanism because the cost of maintaining the related data structures is
679 not insignificant with some backends. With Vulkan this feature maps
680 directly to VkPipelineCache, vkGetPipelineCacheData and
681 VkPipelineCacheCreateInfo::pInitialData. With Direct3D 11 there is no real
682 pipline cache, but the results of HLSL->DXBC compilations are stored and
683 can be serialized/deserialized via this mechanism. This allows skipping the
684 time consuming D3DCompile() in future runs of the applications for shaders
685 that come with HLSL source instead of offline pre-compiled bytecode. This
686 can provide a huge boost in startup and load times, if there is a lot of
687 HLSL source compilation happening. With OpenGL the "pipeline cache" is
688 simulated by retrieving and loading shader program binaries (if supported
689 by the driver). With OpenGL there are additional, disk-based caching
690 mechanisms for shader/program binaries provided by Qt. Writing to those may
691 get disabled whenever this flag is set since storing program binaries to
692 multiple caches is not sensible.
693
694 \value SuppressSmokeTestWarnings Indicates that, with backends where this
695 is relevant, certain, non-fatal QRhi::create() failures should not
696 produce qWarning() calls. For example, with D3D11, passing this flag
697 makes a number of warning messages (that appear due to QRhi::create()
698 failing) to become categorized debug prints instead under the commonly used
699 \c{qt.rhi.general} logging category. This can be used by engines, such as
700 Qt Quick, that feature fallback logic, i.e. they retry calling create()
701 with a different set of flags (such as, \l PreferSoftwareRenderer), in order
702 to hide the unconditional warnings from the output that would be printed
703 when the first create() attempt had failed.

724/*!
725 \enum QRhi::Feature
726 Flag values to indicate what features are supported by the backend currently in use.
727
728 \value MultisampleTexture Indicates that textures with a sample count larger
729 than 1 are supported. In practice this feature will be unsupported with
730 OpenGL ES versions older than 3.1, and OpenGL older than 3.0.
731
732 \value MultisampleRenderBuffer Indicates that renderbuffers with a sample
733 count larger than 1 are supported. In practice this feature will be
734 unsupported with OpenGL ES 2.0, and may also be unsupported with OpenGL 2.x
735 unless the relevant extensions are present.
736
737 \value DebugMarkers Indicates that debug marker groups (and so
738 QRhiCommandBuffer::debugMarkBegin()) are supported.
739
740 \value Timestamps Indicates that command buffer timestamps are supported.
741 Relevant for QRhiCommandBuffer::lastCompletedGpuTime(). This can be
742 expected to be supported on Metal, Vulkan, Direct 3D 11 and 12, and OpenGL
743 contexts of version 3.3 or newer. However, with some of these APIs support
744 for timestamp queries is technically optional, and therefore it cannot be
745 guaranteed that this feature is always supported with every implementation
746 of them.
747
748 \value Instancing Indicates that instanced drawing is supported. In
749 practice this feature will be unsupported with OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenGL
750 3.2 or older.
751
752 \value CustomInstanceStepRate Indicates that instance step rates other
753 than 1 are supported. In practice this feature will always be unsupported
754 with OpenGL. In addition, running with Vulkan 1.0 without
755 VK_EXT_vertex_attribute_divisor will also lead to reporting false for this
756 feature.
757
758 \value PrimitiveRestart Indicates that restarting the assembly of
759 primitives when encountering an index value of 0xFFFF
760 (\l{QRhiCommandBuffer::IndexUInt16}{IndexUInt16}) or 0xFFFFFFFF
761 (\l{QRhiCommandBuffer::IndexUInt32}{IndexUInt32}) is enabled, for certain
762 primitive topologies at least. QRhi will try to enable this with all
763 backends, but in some cases it will not be supported. Dynamically
764 controlling primitive restart is not possible since with some APIs
765 primitive restart with a fixed index is always on. Applications must assume
766 that whenever this feature is reported as supported, the above mentioned
767 index values \c may be treated specially, depending on the topology. The
768 only two topologies where primitive restart is guaranteed to behave
769 identically across backends, as long as this feature is reported as
770 supported, are \l{QRhiGraphicsPipeline::LineStrip}{LineStrip} and
771 \l{QRhiGraphicsPipeline::TriangleStrip}{TriangleStrip}.
772
773 \value NonDynamicUniformBuffers Indicates that creating buffers with the
774 usage \l{QRhiBuffer::UniformBuffer}{UniformBuffer} and the types
775 \l{QRhiBuffer::Immutable}{Immutable} or \l{QRhiBuffer::Static}{Static} is
776 supported. When reported as unsupported, uniform (constant) buffers must be
777 created as \l{QRhiBuffer::Dynamic}{Dynamic}. (which is recommended
778 regardless)
779
780 \value NonFourAlignedEffectiveIndexBufferOffset Indicates that effective
781 index buffer offsets (\c{indexOffset + firstIndex * indexComponentSize})
782 that are not 4 byte aligned are supported. When not supported, attempting
783 to issue a \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::drawIndexed()}{drawIndexed()} with a
784 non-aligned effective offset may lead to unspecified behavior. Relevant in
785 particular for Metal, where this will be reported as unsupported.
786
787 \value NPOTTextureRepeat Indicates that the
788 \l{QRhiSampler::Repeat}{Repeat} wrap mode and mipmap filtering modes are
789 supported for textures with a non-power-of-two size. In practice this can
790 only be false with OpenGL ES 2.0 implementations without
791 \c{GL_OES_texture_npot}.
792
793 \value RedOrAlpha8IsRed Indicates that the
794 \l{QRhiTexture::RED_OR_ALPHA8}{RED_OR_ALPHA8} format maps to a one
795 component 8-bit \c red format. This is the case for all backends except
796 OpenGL when using either OpenGL ES or a non-core profile context. There
797 \c{GL_ALPHA}, a one component 8-bit \c alpha format, is used
798 instead. Using the special texture format allows having a single code
799 path for creating textures, leaving it up to the backend to decide the
800 actual format, while the feature flag can be used to pick the
801 appropriate shader variant for sampling the texture.
802
803 \value ElementIndexUint Indicates that 32-bit unsigned integer elements are
804 supported in the index buffer. In practice this is true everywhere except
805 when running on plain OpenGL ES 2.0 implementations without the necessary
806 extension. When false, only 16-bit unsigned elements are supported in the
807 index buffer.
808
809 \value Compute Indicates that compute shaders, image load/store, and
810 storage buffers are supported. OpenGL older than 4.3 and OpenGL ES older
811 than 3.1 have no compute support.
812
813 \value WideLines Indicates that lines with a width other than 1 are
814 supported. When reported as not supported, the line width set on the
815 graphics pipeline state is ignored. This can always be false with some
816 backends (D3D11, D3D12, Metal). With Vulkan, the value depends on the
817 implementation. With OpenGL, wide lines are not supported in core profile
818 contexts.
819
820 \value VertexShaderPointSize Indicates that the size of rasterized points
821 set via \c{gl_PointSize} in the vertex shader is taken into account. When
822 reported as not supported, drawing points with a size other than 1 is not
823 supported. Setting \c{gl_PointSize} in the shader is still valid then, but
824 is ignored. (for example, when generating HLSL, the assignment is silently
825 dropped from the generated code) Note that some APIs (Metal, Vulkan)
826 require the point size to be set in the shader explicitly whenever drawing
827 points, even when the size is 1, as they do not automatically default to 1.
828
829 \value BaseVertex Indicates that
830 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::drawIndexed()}{drawIndexed()} supports the \c
831 vertexOffset argument. When reported as not supported, the vertexOffset
832 value in an indexed draw is ignored. In practice this feature will be
833 unsupported with OpenGL and OpenGL ES versions lower than 3.2, and with
834 Metal on older iOS devices, including the iOS Simulator.
835
836 \value BaseInstance Indicates that instanced draw commands support the \c
837 firstInstance argument. When reported as not supported, the firstInstance
838 value is ignored and the instance ID starts from 0. In practice this feature
839 will be unsupported with with Metal on older iOS devices, including the iOS
840 Simulator, and all versions of OpenGL. The latter is due to OpenGL ES not
841 supporting draw calls with a base instance at all. Currently QRhi's OpenGL
842 backend does not implement the functionality for OpenGL (non-ES) either,
843 because portable applications cannot rely on a non-zero base instance in
844 practice due to GLES. If the application still chooses to do so, it should
845 be aware of the InstanceIndexIncludesBaseInstance feature as well.
846
847 \value TriangleFanTopology Indicates that QRhiGraphicsPipeline::setTopology()
848 supports QRhiGraphicsPipeline::TriangleFan. In practice this feature will be
849 unsupported with Metal and Direct 3D 11/12.
850
851 \value ReadBackNonUniformBuffer Indicates that
852 \l{QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::readBackBuffer()}{reading buffer contents} is
853 supported for QRhiBuffer instances with a usage different than
854 UniformBuffer. In practice this feature will be unsupported with OpenGL ES
855 2.0.
856
857 \value ReadBackNonBaseMipLevel Indicates that specifying a mip level other
858 than 0 is supported when reading back texture contents. When not supported,
859 specifying a non-zero level in QRhiReadbackDescription leads to returning
860 an all-zero image. In practice this feature will be unsupported with OpenGL
861 ES 2.0.
862
863 \value TexelFetch Indicates that texelFetch() and textureLod() are available
864 in shaders. In practice this will be reported as unsupported with OpenGL ES
865 2.0 and OpenGL 2.x contexts, because GLSL 100 es and versions before 130 do
866 not support these functions.
867
868 \value RenderToNonBaseMipLevel Indicates that specifying a mip level other
869 than 0 is supported when creating a QRhiTextureRenderTarget with a
870 QRhiTexture as its color attachment. When not supported, create() will fail
871 whenever the target mip level is not zero. In practice this feature will be
872 unsupported with OpenGL ES 2.0.
873
874 \value IntAttributes Indicates that specifying input attributes with
875 signed and unsigned integer types for a shader pipeline is supported. When
876 not supported, build() will succeed but just show a warning message and the
877 values of the target attributes will be broken. In practice this feature
878 will be unsupported with OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenGL 2.x.
879
880 \value ScreenSpaceDerivatives Indicates that functions such as dFdx(),
881 dFdy(), and fwidth() are supported in shaders. In practice this feature will
882 be unsupported with OpenGL ES 2.0 without the GL_OES_standard_derivatives
883 extension.
884
885 \value ReadBackAnyTextureFormat Indicates that reading back texture
886 contents can be expected to work for any QRhiTexture::Format. Backends
887 other than OpenGL can be expected to return true for this feature. When
888 reported as false, which will typically happen with OpenGL, only the
889 formats QRhiTexture::RGBA8 and QRhiTexture::BGRA8 are guaranteed to be
890 supported for readbacks. In addition, with OpenGL, but not OpenGL ES,
891 reading back the 1 byte per component formats QRhiTexture::R8 and
892 QRhiTexture::RED_OR_ALPHA8 are supported as well. Reading back floating
893 point formats QRhiTexture::RGBA16F and RGBA32F may work too with OpenGL, as
894 long as the implementation provides support for these, but QRhi can give no
895 guarantees, as indicated by this flag.
896
897 \value PipelineCacheDataLoadSave Indicates that the pipelineCacheData() and
898 setPipelineCacheData() functions are functional. When not supported, the
899 functions will not perform any action, the retrieved blob is always empty,
900 and thus no benefits can be expected from retrieving and, during a
901 subsequent run of the application, reloading the pipeline cache content.
902
903 \value ImageDataStride Indicates that specifying a custom stride (row
904 length) for raw image data in texture uploads is supported. When not
905 supported (which can happen when the underlying API is OpenGL ES 2.0 without
906 support for GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH),
907 QRhiTextureSubresourceUploadDescription::setDataStride() must not be used.
908
909 \value RenderBufferImport Indicates that QRhiRenderBuffer::createFrom() is
910 supported. For most graphics APIs this is not sensible because
911 QRhiRenderBuffer encapsulates texture objects internally, just like
912 QRhiTexture. With OpenGL however, renderbuffer object exist as a separate
913 object type in the API, and in certain environments (for example, where one
914 may want to associated a renderbuffer object with an EGLImage object) it is
915 important to allow wrapping an existing OpenGL renderbuffer object with a
916 QRhiRenderBuffer.
917
918 \value ThreeDimensionalTextures Indicates that 3D textures are supported.
919 In practice this feature will be unsupported with OpenGL and OpenGL ES
920 versions lower than 3.0.
921
922 \value RenderTo3DTextureSlice Indicates that rendering to a slice in a 3D
923 texture is supported. This can be unsupported with Vulkan 1.0 due to
924 relying on VK_IMAGE_CREATE_2D_ARRAY_COMPATIBLE_BIT which is a Vulkan 1.1
925 feature.
926
927 \value TextureArrays Indicates that texture arrays are supported and
928 QRhi::newTextureArray() is functional. Note that even when texture arrays
929 are not supported, arrays of textures are still available as those are two
930 independent features.
931
932 \value Tessellation Indicates that the tessellation control and evaluation
933 stages are supported. When reported as supported, the topology of a
934 QRhiGraphicsPipeline can be set to
935 \l{QRhiGraphicsPipeline::Patches}{Patches}, the number of control points
936 can be set via
937 \l{QRhiGraphicsPipeline::setPatchControlPointCount()}{setPatchControlPointCount()},
938 and shaders for tessellation control and evaluation can be specified in the
939 QRhiShaderStage list. Tessellation shaders have portability issues between
940 APIs (for example, translating GLSL/SPIR-V to HLSL is problematic due to
941 the way hull shaders are structured, whereas Metal uses a somewhat
942 different tessellation pipeline than others), and therefore unexpected
943 issues may still arise, even though basic functionality is implemented
944 across all the underlying APIs. For Direct 3D in particular, handwritten
945 HLSL hull and domain shaders must be injected into each QShader for the
946 tessellation control and evaluation stages, respectively, since qsb cannot
947 generate these from SPIR-V. Note that isoline tessellation should be
948 avoided as it will not be supported by all backends. The maximum patch
949 control point count portable between backends is 32.
950
951 \value GeometryShader Indicates that the geometry shader stage is supported.
952 When supported, a geometry shader can be specified in the QRhiShaderStage
953 list. Geometry Shaders are considered an experimental feature in QRhi and
954 can only be expected to be supported with Vulkan, Direct 3D 11 and 12,
955 OpenGL (3.2+) and OpenGL ES (3.2+), assuming the implementation reports it
956 as supported at run time. Starting with Qt 6.11 geometry shaders are
957 automatically translated to HLSL, and therefore no injection of handwritten
958 HLSL geometry shaders is necessary anymore (but note that gl_in and
959 expressions such as gl_in[0].gl_Position are not supported; rather, pass the
960 position as an output variable from the vertex shader). Geometry shaders are
961 not supported with Metal.
962
963 \value TextureArrayRange Indicates that for
964 \l{QRhi::newTextureArray()}{texture arrays} it is possible to specify a
965 range that is exposed to the shaders. Normally all array layers are exposed
966 and it is up to the shader to select the layer (via the third coordinate
967 passed to texture() when sampling the \c sampler2DArray). When supported,
968 calling QRhiTexture::setArrayRangeStart() and
969 QRhiTexture::setArrayRangeLength() before
970 \l{QRhiTexture::create()}{building} or
971 \l{QRhiTexture::createFrom()}{importing} the native texture has an effect,
972 and leads to selecting only the specified range from the array. This will
973 be necessary in special cases, such as when working with accelerated video
974 decoding and Direct 3D 11, because a texture array with both
975 \c{D3D11_BIND_DECODER} and \c{D3D11_BIND_SHADER_RESOURCE} on it is only
976 usable as a shader resource if a single array layer is selected. Note that
977 all this is applicable only when the texture is used as a
978 QRhiShaderResourceBinding::SampledTexture or
979 QRhiShaderResourceBinding::Texture shader resource, and is not compatible
980 with image load/store. This feature is only available with some backends as
981 it does not map well to all graphics APIs, and it is only meant to provide
982 support for special cases anyhow. In practice the feature can be expected to
983 be supported with Direct3D 11/12 and Vulkan.
984
985 \value NonFillPolygonMode Indicates that setting a PolygonMode other than
986 the default Fill is supported for QRhiGraphicsPipeline. A common use case
987 for changing the mode to Line is to get wireframe rendering. This however
988 is not available as a core OpenGL ES feature, and is optional with Vulkan
989 as well as some mobile GPUs may not offer the feature.
990
991 \value OneDimensionalTextures Indicates that 1D textures are supported.
992 In practice this feature will be unsupported on OpenGL ES.
993
994 \value OneDimensionalTextureMipmaps Indicates that generating 1D texture
995 mipmaps are supported. In practice this feature will be unsupported on
996 backends that do not report support for
997 \l{OneDimensionalTextures}, Metal, and Direct 3D 12.
998
999 \value HalfAttributes Indicates that specifying input attributes with half
1000 precision (16bit) floating point types for a shader pipeline is supported.
1001 When not supported, build() will succeed but just show a warning message
1002 and the values of the target attributes will be broken. In practice this
1003 feature will be unsupported in some OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenGL 2.x
1004 implementations. Note that while Direct3D 11/12 does support half precision
1005 input attributes, it does not support the half3 type. The D3D backends pass
1006 half3 attributes as half4. To ensure cross platform compatibility, half3
1007 inputs should be padded to 8 bytes.
1008
1009 \value RenderToOneDimensionalTexture Indicates that 1D texture render
1010 targets are supported. In practice this feature will be unsupported on
1011 backends that do not report support for
1012 \l{OneDimensionalTextures}, and Metal.
1013
1014 \value ThreeDimensionalTextureMipmaps Indicates that generating 3D texture
1015 mipmaps are supported. This is typically supported with all backends starting
1016 with Qt 6.10.
1017
1018 \value MultiView Indicates that multiview, see e.g.
1019 \l{https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/specs/1.3-extensions/man/html/VK_KHR_multiview.html}{VK_KHR_multiview}
1020 is supported. With OpenGL ES 2.0, Direct 3D 11, and OpenGL (ES)
1021 implementations without \c{GL_OVR_multiview2} this feature will not be
1022 supported. With Vulkan 1.1 and newer, and Direct 3D 12 multiview is
1023 typically supported. When reported as supported, creating a
1024 QRhiTextureRenderTarget with a QRhiColorAttachment that references a texture
1025 array and has \l{QRhiColorAttachment::setMultiViewCount()}{multiViewCount}
1026 set enables recording a render pass that uses multiview rendering. In addition,
1027 any QRhiGraphicsPipeline used in that render pass must have
1028 \l{QRhiGraphicsPipeline::setMultiViewCount()}{the same view count set}. Note that
1029 multiview is only available in combination with 2D texture arrays. It cannot
1030 be used to optimize the rendering into individual textures (e.g. two, for
1031 the left and right eyes). Rather, the target of a multiview render pass is
1032 always a texture array, automatically rendering to the layer (array element)
1033 corresponding to each view. Therefore this feature implies \l TextureArrays
1034 as well. Multiview rendering is not supported in combination with
1035 tessellation or geometry shaders. See QRhiColorAttachment::setMultiViewCount()
1036 for further details on multiview rendering. This enum value has been introduced in Qt 6.7.
1037
1038 \value TextureViewFormat Indicates that setting a
1039 \l{QRhiTexture::setWriteViewFormat()}{view format} on a QRhiTexture is
1040 effective. When reported as supported, setting the read (sampling) or write
1041 (render target / image load-store) view mode changes the texture's viewing
1042 format. When unsupported, setting a view format has no effect. Note that Qt
1043 has no knowledge or control over format compatibility or resource view rules
1044 in the underlying 3D API and its implementation. Passing in unsuitable,
1045 incompatible formats may lead to errors and unspecified behavior. This is
1046 provided mainly to allow "casting" rendering into a texture created with an
1047 sRGB format to non-sRGB to avoid the unwanted linear->sRGB conversion on
1048 shader writes. Other types of casting may or may not be functional,
1049 depending on the underlying API. Currently implemented for Vulkan and Direct
1050 3D 12. With D3D12 the feature is available only if
1051 \c CastingFullyTypedFormatSupported is supported, see
1052 \l{https://microsoft.github.io/DirectX-Specs/d3d/RelaxedCasting.html} (and
1053 note that QRhi always uses fully typed formats for textures.) This enum
1054 value has been introduced in Qt 6.8.
1055
1056 \value ResolveDepthStencil Indicates that resolving a multisample depth or
1057 depth-stencil texture is supported. Otherwise,
1058 \l{QRhiTextureRenderTargetDescription::setDepthResolveTexture()}{setting a
1059 depth resolve texture} is not functional and must be avoided. Direct 3D 11
1060 and 12 have no support for resolving depth/depth-stencil formats, and
1061 therefore this feature will never be supported with those. Vulkan 1.0 has no
1062 API to request resolving a depth-stencil attachment. Therefore, with Vulkan
1063 this feature will only be supported with Vulkan 1.2 and up, and on 1.1
1064 implementations with the appropriate extensions present. This feature is
1065 provided for the rare case when resolving into a non-multisample depth
1066 texture becomes necessary, for example when rendering into an
1067 OpenXR-provided depth texture (XR_KHR_composition_layer_depth). This enum
1068 value has been introduced in Qt 6.8.
1069
1070 \value VariableRateShading Indicates that per-draw (per-pipeline) variable
1071 rate shading is supported. When reported as supported, \l
1072 QRhiCommandBuffer::setShadingRate() is functional and has an effect for
1073 QRhiGraphicsPipeline objects that declared \l
1074 QRhiGraphicsPipeline::UsesShadingRate in their flags. Call \l
1075 QRhi::supportedShadingRates() to check which rates are supported. (1x1 is
1076 always supported, other typical values are 2x2, 1x2, 2x1, 2x4, 4x2, 4x4).
1077 This feature can be expected to be supported with Direct 3D 12 and Vulkan,
1078 assuming the implementation and GPU used at run time supports VRS. This enum
1079 value has been introduced in Qt 6.9.
1080
1081 \value VariableRateShadingMap Indicates that image-based specification of
1082 the shading rate is possible. The "image" is not necessarily a texture, it
1083 may be a native 3D API object, depending on the underlying backend and
1084 graphics API at run time. In practice this feature can be expected to be
1085 supported with Direct 3D 12, Vulkan, and Metal, assuming the GPU is modern
1086 enough to support VRS. To check if D3D12/Vulkan-style image-based VRS is
1087 suspported, use VariableRateShadingMapWithTexture instead. When this feature
1088 is reported as supported, there are two possibilities: when
1089 VariableRateShadingMapWithTexture is also true, then QRhiShadingRateMap
1090 consumes QRhiTexture objects via the createFrom() overload taking a
1091 QRhiTexture argument. When VariableRateShadingMapWithTexture is false, then
1092 QRhiShadingRateMap consumes some other type of native objects, for example
1093 an MTLRasterizationRateMap in case of Metal. Use the createFrom() overload
1094 taking a NativeShadingRateMap in this case. This enum value has been
1095 introduced in Qt 6.9.
1096
1097 \value VariableRateShadingMapWithTexture Indicates that image-based
1098 specification of the shading rate is supported via regular textures. In
1099 practice this may be supported with Direct 3D 12 and Vulkan. This enum value
1100 has been introduced in Qt 6.9.
1101
1102 \value PerRenderTargetBlending Indicates that per rendertarget blending is
1103 supported i.e. different render targets in MRT framebuffer can have different
1104 blending modes. In practice this can be expected to be supported everywhere
1105 except OpenGL ES, where it is only available with GLES 3.2 implementations.
1106 This enum value has been introduced in Qt 6.9.
1107
1108 \value SampleVariables Indicates that gl_SampleID, gl_SamplePosition,
1109 gl_SampleMaskIn and gl_SampleMask variables are available in fragment shaders.
1110 In practice this can be expected to be supported everywhere except OpenGL ES,
1111 where it is only available with GLES 3.2 implementations.
1112 This enum value has been introduced in Qt 6.9.
1113
1114 \value InstanceIndexIncludesBaseInstance Indicates that \c gl_InstanceIndex
1115 includes the base instance (the \c firstInstance argument in draw calls) in
1116 its value. When this feature is unsupported, but BaseInstance is, it
1117 indicates that \c gl_InstanceIndex always starts at 0, not the base value.
1118 In practice this will be the case for Direct 3D 11 and 12 at the moment.
1119 With Vulkan and Metal this feature is expected to be reported as supported
1120 always. This enum value has been introduced in Qt 6.11.
1121
1122 \value DepthClamp Indicates that enabling depth clamping is supported. When
1123 reported as unsupported, which will be the case with OpenGL ES, OpenGL
1124 versions before 3.2 without the relevant extension present, and Metal on the
1125 iOS Simulator, calling \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::}{setDepthClamp()} with an argument
1126 of \c true has no effect. This enum value has been introduced in Qt 6.11.
1127
1128 \value [since 6.12] DrawIndirect Indicates that the
1129 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::drawIndirect()}{drawIndirect()}
1130 and \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::drawIndexedIndirect()}{drawIndexedIndirect()}
1131 functions are available.
1132 In practice this can be expected to be supported everywhere except on
1133 OpenGL ES < 3.1.
1134
1135 \value [since 6.12] DrawIndirectMulti Indicates that a drawCount > 1 is natively
1136 supported by the backend in \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::drawIndirect()}{drawIndirect()}
1137 and \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::drawIndexedIndirect()}{drawIndexedIndirect()}.
1138 Otherwise, multiple draw calls are issued on the CPU by the RHI.
1139 In practice this can be expected to be supported on Vulkan 1.1+, OpenGL 4.3+
1140 and D3D12.

1158 */
1159
1160/*!
1161 \enum QRhi::ResourceLimit
1162 Describes the resource limit to query.
1163
1164 \value TextureSizeMin Minimum texture width and height. This is typically
1165 1. The minimum texture size is handled gracefully, meaning attempting to
1166 create a texture with an empty size will instead create a texture with the
1167 minimum size.
1168
1169 \value TextureSizeMax Maximum texture width and height. This depends on the
1170 graphics API and sometimes the platform or implementation as well.
1171 Typically the value is in the range 4096 - 16384. Attempting to create
1172 textures larger than this is expected to fail.
1173
1174 \value MaxColorAttachments The maximum number of color attachments for a
1175 QRhiTextureRenderTarget, in case multiple render targets are supported. When
1176 MRT is not supported, the value is 1. Otherwise this is typically 8, but
1177 watch out for the fact that OpenGL only mandates 4 as the minimum, and that
1178 is what some OpenGL ES implementations provide.
1179
1180 \value FramesInFlight The number of frames the backend may keep "in
1181 flight": with backends like Vulkan or Metal, it is the responsibility of
1182 QRhi to block whenever starting a new frame and finding the CPU is already
1183 \c{N - 1} frames ahead of the GPU (because the command buffer submitted in
1184 frame no. \c{current} - \c{N} has not yet completed). The value N is what
1185 is returned from here, and is typically 2. This can be relevant to
1186 applications that integrate rendering done directly with the graphics API,
1187 as such rendering code may want to perform double (if the value is 2)
1188 buffering for resources, such as, buffers, similarly to the QRhi backends
1189 themselves. The current frame slot index (a value running 0, 1, .., N-1,
1190 then wrapping around) is retrievable from QRhi::currentFrameSlot(). The
1191 value is 1 for backends where the graphics API offers no such low level
1192 control over the command submission process. Note that pipelining may still
1193 happen even when this value is 1 (some backends, such as D3D11, are
1194 designed to attempt to enable this, for instance, by using an update
1195 strategy for uniform buffers that does not stall the pipeline), but that is
1196 then not controlled by QRhi and so not reflected here in the API.
1197
1198 \value MaxAsyncReadbackFrames The number of \l{QRhi::endFrame()}{submitted}
1199 frames (including the one that contains the readback) after which an
1200 asynchronous texture or buffer readback is guaranteed to complete upon
1201 \l{QRhi::beginFrame()}{starting a new frame}.
1202
1203 \value MaxThreadGroupsPerDimension The maximum number of compute
1204 work/thread groups that can be dispatched. Effectively the maximum value
1205 for the arguments of QRhiCommandBuffer::dispatch(). Typically 65535.
1206
1207 \value MaxThreadsPerThreadGroup The maximum number of invocations in a
1208 single local work group, or in other terminology, the maximum number of
1209 threads in a thread group. Effectively the maximum value for the product of
1210 \c local_size_x, \c local_size_y, and \c local_size_z in the compute
1211 shader. Typical values are 128, 256, 512, 1024, or 1536. Watch out that
1212 both OpenGL ES and Vulkan specify only 128 as the minimum required limit
1213 for implementations. While uncommon for Vulkan, some OpenGL ES 3.1
1214 implementations for mobile/embedded devices only support the spec-mandated
1215 minimum value.
1216
1217 \value MaxThreadGroupX The maximum size of a work/thread group in the X
1218 dimension. Effectively the maximum value of \c local_size_x in the compute
1219 shader. Typically 256 or 1024.
1220
1221 \value MaxThreadGroupY The maximum size of a work/thread group in the Y
1222 dimension. Effectively the maximum value of \c local_size_y in the compute
1223 shader. Typically 256 or 1024.
1224
1225 \value MaxThreadGroupZ The maximum size of a work/thread group in the Z
1226 dimension. Effectively the maximum value of \c local_size_z in the compute
1227 shader. Typically 64 or 256.
1228
1229 \value TextureArraySizeMax Maximum texture array size. Typically in range
1230 256 - 2048. Attempting to \l{QRhi::newTextureArray()}{create a texture
1231 array} with more elements will likely fail.
1232
1233 \value MaxUniformBufferRange The number of bytes that can be exposed from a
1234 uniform buffer to the shaders at once. On OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.0
1235 implementations this may be as low as 3584 bytes (224 four component, 32
1236 bits per component vectors). Elsewhere the value is typically 16384 (1024
1237 vec4s) or 65536 (4096 vec4s).
1238
1239 \value MaxVertexInputs The number of input attributes to the vertex shader.
1240 The location in a QRhiVertexInputAttribute must be in range \c{[0,
1241 MaxVertexInputs-1]}. The value may be as low as 8 with OpenGL ES 2.0.
1242 Elsewhere, typical values are 16, 31, or 32.
1243
1244 \value MaxVertexOutputs The maximum number of outputs (4 component vector
1245 \c out variables) from the vertex shader. The value may be as low as 8 with
1246 OpenGL ES 2.0, and 15 with OpenGL ES 3.0 and some Metal devices. Elsewhere,
1247 a typical value is 32.
1248
1249 \value ShadingRateImageTileSize The tile size for shading rate textures. 0
1250 if the QRhi::VariableRateShadingMapWithTexture feature is not supported.
1251 Otherwise a value such as 16, indicating, for example, a tile size of 16x16.
1252 Each byte in the (R8UI) shading rate texture defines then the shading rate
1253 for a tile of 16x16 pixels. See \l QRhiShadingRateMap for details.

1569 \brief Describes a vertex input binding.
1570
1571 Specifies the stride (in bytes, must be a multiple of 4), the
1572 classification and optionally the instance step rate.
1573
1574 As an example, assume a vertex shader with the following inputs:
1575
1576 \badcode
1577 layout(location = 0) in vec4 position;
1578 layout(location = 1) in vec2 texcoord;
1579 \endcode
1580
1581 Now let's assume also that 3 component vertex positions \c{(x, y, z)} and 2
1582 component texture coordinates \c{(u, v)} are provided in a non-interleaved
1583 format in a buffer (or separate buffers even). Defining two bindings
1584 could then be done like this:
1585
1586 \code
1587 QRhiVertexInputLayout inputLayout;
1588 inputLayout.setBindings({
1589 { 3 * sizeof(float) },
1590 { 2 * sizeof(float) }
1591 });
1592 \endcode
1593
1594 Only the stride is interesting here since instancing is not used. The
1595 binding number is given by the index of the QRhiVertexInputBinding
1596 element in the bindings vector of the QRhiVertexInputLayout.
1597
1598 Once a graphics pipeline with this vertex input layout is bound, the vertex
1599 inputs could be set up like the following for drawing a cube with 36
1600 vertices, assuming we have a single buffer with first the positions and
1601 then the texture coordinates:
1602
1603 \code
1604 const QRhiCommandBuffer::VertexInput vbufBindings[] = {
1605 { cubeBuf, 0 },
1606 { cubeBuf, 36 * 3 * sizeof(float) }
1607 };
1608 cb->setVertexInput(0, 2, vbufBindings);
1609 \endcode
1610
1611 Note how the index defined by \c {startBinding + i}, where \c i is the
1612 index in the second argument of
1613 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::setVertexInput()}{setVertexInput()}, matches the
1614 index of the corresponding entry in the \c bindings vector of the
1615 QRhiVertexInputLayout.
1616
1617 \note the stride must always be a multiple of 4.

1718 \since 6.6
1719 \brief Describes a single vertex input element.
1720
1721 The members specify the binding number, location, format, and offset for a
1722 single vertex input element.
1723
1724 \note For HLSL it is assumed that the vertex shader translated from SPIR-V
1725 uses
1726 \c{TEXCOORD<location>} as the semantic for each input. Hence no separate
1727 semantic name and index.
1728
1729 As an example, assume a vertex shader with the following inputs:
1730
1731 \badcode
1732 layout(location = 0) in vec4 position;
1733 layout(location = 1) in vec2 texcoord;
1734 \endcode
1735
1736 Now let's assume that we have 3 component vertex positions \c{(x, y, z)}
1737 and 2 component texture coordinates \c{(u, v)} are provided in a
1738 non-interleaved format in a buffer (or separate buffers even). Once two
1739 bindings are defined, the attributes could be specified as:
1740
1741 \code
1742 QRhiVertexInputLayout inputLayout;
1743 inputLayout.setBindings({
1744 { 3 * sizeof(float) },
1745 { 2 * sizeof(float) }
1746 });
1747 inputLayout.setAttributes({
1748 { 0, 0, QRhiVertexInputAttribute::Float3, 0 },
1749 { 1, 1, QRhiVertexInputAttribute::Float2, 0 }
1750 });
1751 \endcode
1752
1753 Once a graphics pipeline with this vertex input layout is bound, the vertex
1754 inputs could be set up like the following for drawing a cube with 36
1755 vertices, assuming we have a single buffer with first the positions and
1756 then the texture coordinates:
1757
1758 \code
1759 const QRhiCommandBuffer::VertexInput vbufBindings[] = {
1760 { cubeBuf, 0 },
1761 { cubeBuf, 36 * 3 * sizeof(float) }
1762 };
1763 cb->setVertexInput(0, 2, vbufBindings);
1764 \endcode
1765
1766 When working with interleaved data, there will typically be just one
1767 binding, with multiple attributes referring to that same buffer binding
1768 point:
1769
1770 \code
1771 QRhiVertexInputLayout inputLayout;
1772 inputLayout.setBindings({
1773 { 5 * sizeof(float) }
1774 });
1775 inputLayout.setAttributes({
1776 { 0, 0, QRhiVertexInputAttribute::Float3, 0 },
1777 { 0, 1, QRhiVertexInputAttribute::Float2, 3 * sizeof(float) }
1778 });
1779 \endcode
1780
1781 and then:
1782
1783 \code
1784 const QRhiCommandBuffer::VertexInput vbufBinding(interleavedCubeBuf, 0);
1785 cb->setVertexInput(0, 1, &vbufBinding);
1786 \endcode

2344 \since 6.6
2345 \brief Describes the a single color attachment of a render target.
2346
2347 A color attachment is either a QRhiTexture or a QRhiRenderBuffer. The
2348 former, i.e. when texture() is set, is used in most cases.
2349 QRhiColorAttachment is commonly used in combination with
2350 QRhiTextureRenderTargetDescription.
2351
2352 \note texture() and renderBuffer() cannot be both set (be non-null at the
2353 same time).
2354
2355 Setting renderBuffer instead is recommended only when multisampling is
2356 needed. Relying on QRhi::MultisampleRenderBuffer is a better choice than
2357 QRhi::MultisampleTexture in practice since the former is available in more
2358 run time configurations (e.g. when running on OpenGL ES 3.0 which has no
2359 support for multisample textures, but does support multisample
2360 renderbuffers).
2361
2362 When targeting a non-multisample texture, the layer() and level() indicate
2363 the targeted layer (face index \c{0-5} for cubemaps) and mip level. For 3D
2364 textures layer() specifies the slice (one 2D image within the 3D texture)
2365 to render to. For texture arrays layer() is the array index.
2366
2367 When texture() or renderBuffer() is multisample, resolveTexture() can be
2368 set optionally. When set, samples are resolved automatically into that
2369 (non-multisample) texture at the end of the render pass. When rendering
2370 into a multisample renderbuffers, this is the only way to get resolved,
2371 non-multisample content out of them. Multisample textures allow sampling in
2372 shaders so for them this is just one option.
2373
2374 \note when resolving is enabled, the multisample data may not be written
2375 out at all. This means that the multisample texture() must not be used
2376 afterwards with shaders for sampling when resolveTexture() is set.

2471 Setting a non-null resolve texture is applicable when the attachment

2473 resolveTexture() is then a non-multisample 2D texture (or texture array)
2474 with the same size (but a sample count of 1). The multisample content is

2479 \fn void QRhiColorAttachment::setResolveTexture(QRhiTexture *tex)
2480
2481 Sets the resolve texture \a tex.
2482
2483 \a tex is expected to be a 2D texture or a 2D texture array. In either
2484 case, resolving targets a single mip level of a single layer (array
2485 element) of \a tex. The mip level and array layer are specified by
2486 resolveLevel() and resolveLayer().
2487
2488 An exception is \l{setMultiViewCount()}{multiview}: when the color
2489 attachment is associated with a texture array and multiview is enabled, the
2490 resolve texture must also be a texture array with sufficient elements for
2491 all views. In this case all elements that correspond to views are resolved
2492 automatically; the behavior is similar to the following pseudo-code:
2493 \badcode
2494 for (i = 0; i < multiViewCount(); ++i)
2495 resolve texture's layer() + i into resolveTexture's resolveLayer() + i
2496 \endcode
2497
2498 Setting a non-multisample texture to resolve a multisample texture or
2499 renderbuffer automatically at the end of the render pass is often
2500 preferable to working with multisample textures (and not setting a resolve
2501 texture), because it avoids the need for writing dedicated fragment shaders
2502 that work exclusively with multisample textures (\c sampler2DMS, \c
2503 texelFetch, etc.), and rather allows using the same shader as one would if
2504 the attachment's texture was not multisampled to begin with. This comes at
2505 the expense of an additional resource (the non-multisample \a tex).

2548 define the range of texture array elements that are targeted during
2549 multiview rendering.
2550
2551 For example, if \c layer is \c 0 and \c multiViewCount is \c 2, the texture
2552 array must have 2 (or more) elements, and the multiview rendering will
2553 target elements 0 and 1. The \c{gl_ViewIndex} variable in the shaders has a
2554 value of \c 0 or \c 1 then, where view \c 0 corresponds to the texture array
2555 element \c 0, and view \c 1 to the array element \c 1.
2556
2557 \note Setting a \a count larger than 1, using a texture array as texture(),
2558 and calling \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::beginPass()}{beginPass()} on a
2559 QRhiTextureRenderTarget with this color attachment implies multiview
2560 rendering for the entire render pass. multiViewCount() should not be set
2561 unless multiview rendering is wanted. Multiview cannot be used with texture
2562 types other than 2D texture arrays. (although 3D textures may work,
2563 depending on the graphics API and backend; applications are nonetheless
2564 advised not to rely on that and only use 2D texture arrays as the render
2565 targets of multiview rendering)
2566
2567 See
2568 \l{https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL/extensions/OVR/OVR_multiview.txt}{GL_OVR_multiview}
2569 for more details regarding multiview rendering. Do note that Qt requires
2570 \l{https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL/extensions/OVR/OVR_multiview2.txt}{GL_OVR_multiview2}
2571 as well, when running on OpenGL (ES).
2572
2573 Multiview rendering is available only when the
2574 \l{QRhi::MultiView}{MultiView} feature is reported as supported from
2575 \l{QRhi::isFeatureSupported()}{isFeatureSupported()}.
2576
2577 \note For portability, be aware of limitations that exist for multiview
2578 rendering with some of the graphics APIs. It is recommended that multiview
2579 render passes do not rely on any of the features that
2580 \l{https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL/extensions/OVR/OVR_multiview.txt}{GL_OVR_multiview}
2581 declares as unsupported. The one exception is shader stage outputs other
2582 than \c{gl_Position} depending on \c{gl_ViewIndex}: that can be relied on
2583 (even with OpenGL) because QRhi never reports multiview as supported without
2584 \c{GL_OVR_multiview2} also being present.
2585
2586 \note Multiview rendering is not supported in combination with tessellation
2587 or geometry shaders, even though some implementations of some graphics APIs
2588 may allow this.

2597 \since 6.6
2598 \brief Describes the color and depth or depth/stencil attachments of a render target.
2599
2600 A texture render target has zero or more textures as color attachments,
2601 zero or one renderbuffer as combined depth/stencil buffer or zero or one
2602 texture as depth buffer.
2603
2604 \note depthStencilBuffer() and depthTexture() cannot be both set (cannot be
2605 non-null at the same time).
2606
2607 Let's look at some example usages in combination with
2608 QRhiTextureRenderTarget.
2609
2610 Due to the constructors, the targeting a texture (and no depth/stencil
2611 buffer) is simple:
2612
2613 \code
2614 QRhiTexture *texture = rhi->newTexture(QRhiTexture::RGBA8, QSize(256, 256), 1, QRhiTexture::RenderTarget);
2615 texture->create();
2616 QRhiTextureRenderTarget *rt = rhi->newTextureRenderTarget({ texture }));
2617 \endcode
2618
2619 The following creates a texture render target that is set up to target mip
2620 level #2 of a texture:
2621
2622 \code
2623 QRhiTexture *texture = rhi->newTexture(QRhiTexture::RGBA8, QSize(512, 512), 1, QRhiTexture::RenderTarget | QRhiTexture::MipMapped);
2624 texture->create();
2625 QRhiColorAttachment colorAtt(texture);
2626 colorAtt.setLevel(2);
2627 QRhiTextureRenderTarget *rt = rhi->newTextureRenderTarget({ colorAtt });
2628 \endcode
2629
2630 Another example, this time to render into a depth texture:
2631
2632 \code
2633 QRhiTexture *shadowMap = rhi->newTexture(QRhiTexture::D32F, QSize(1024, 1024), 1, QRhiTexture::RenderTarget);
2634 shadowMap->create();
2635 QRhiTextureRenderTargetDescription rtDesc;
2636 rtDesc.setDepthTexture(shadowMap);
2637 QRhiTextureRenderTarget *rt = rhi->newTextureRenderTarget(rtDesc);
2638 \endcode
2639
2640 A very common case, having a texture as the color attachment and a
2641 renderbuffer as depth/stencil to enable depth testing:
2642
2643 \code
2644 QRhiTexture *texture = rhi->newTexture(QRhiTexture::RGBA8, QSize(512, 512), 1, QRhiTexture::RenderTarget);
2645 texture->create();
2646 QRhiRenderBuffer *depthStencil = rhi->newRenderBuffer(QRhiRenderBuffer::DepthStencil, QSize(512, 512));
2647 depthStencil->create();
2648 QRhiTextureRenderTargetDescription rtDesc({ texture }, depthStencil);
2649 QRhiTextureRenderTarget *rt = rhi->newTextureRenderTarget(rtDesc);
2650 \endcode
2651
2652 Finally, to enable multisample rendering in a portable manner (so also
2653 supporting OpenGL ES 3.0), using a QRhiRenderBuffer as the (multisample)
2654 color buffer and then resolving into a regular (non-multisample) 2D
2655 texture. To enable depth testing, a depth-stencil buffer, which also must
2656 use the same sample count, is used as well:
2657
2658 \code
2659 QRhiRenderBuffer *colorBuffer = rhi->newRenderBuffer(QRhiRenderBuffer::Color, QSize(512, 512), 4); // 4x MSAA
2660 colorBuffer->create();
2661 QRhiRenderBuffer *depthStencil = rhi->newRenderBuffer(QRhiRenderBuffer::DepthStencil, QSize(512, 512), 4);
2662 depthStencil->create();
2663 QRhiTexture *texture = rhi->newTexture(QRhiTexture::RGBA8, QSize(512, 512), 1, QRhiTexture::RenderTarget);
2664 texture->create();
2665 QRhiColorAttachment colorAtt(colorBuffer);
2666 colorAtt.setResolveTexture(texture);
2667 QRhiTextureRenderTarget *rt = rhi->newTextureRenderTarget({ colorAtt, depthStencil });
2668 \endcode
2669
2670 \note when multisample resolving is enabled, the multisample data may not be
2671 written out at all. This means that the multisample texture in a color
2672 attachment must not be used afterwards with shaders for sampling (or other
2673 purposes) whenever a resolve texture is set, since the multisample color
2674 buffer is merely an intermediate storage then that gets no data written back
2675 on some GPU architectures at all. See
2676 \l{QRhiTextureRenderTarget::Flag}{PreserveColorContents} for more details.
2677
2678 \note When using setDepthTexture(), not setDepthStencilBuffer(), and the
2679 depth (stencil) data is not of interest afterwards, set the
2680 DoNotStoreDepthStencilContents flag on the QRhiTextureRenderTarget. This
2681 allows indicating to the underlying 3D API that the depth/stencil data can
2682 be discarded, leading potentially to better performance with tiled GPU
2683 architectures. When the depth-stencil buffer is a QRhiRenderBuffer (and also
2684 for the multisample color texture, see previous note) this is implicit, but
2685 with a depth (stencil) QRhiTexture the intention needs to be declared
2686 explicitly. By default QRhi assumes that the data is of interest (e.g., the
2687 depth texture is sampled in a shader afterwards).
2688
2689 \note This is a RHI API with limited compatibility guarantees, see \l QRhi
2690 for details.

2870 \note When the render target had already been built (create() was called

2889 \brief Describes the source for one mip level in a layer in a texture upload operation.
2890
2891 The source content is specified either as a QImage or as a raw blob. The
2892 former is only allowed for uncompressed textures with a format that can be
2893 mapped to QImage, while the latter is supported for all formats, including
2894 floating point and compressed.
2895
2896 \note image() and data() cannot be both set at the same time.
2897
2898 destinationTopLeft() specifies the top-left corner of the target
2899 rectangle. Defaults to (0, 0).
2900
2901 An empty sourceSize() (the default) indicates that size is assumed to be
2902 the size of the subresource. With QImage-based uploads this implies that
2903 the size of the source image() must match the subresource. When providing
2904 raw data instead, sufficient number of bytes must be provided in data().
2905
2906 sourceTopLeft() is supported only for QImage-based uploads, and specifies
2907 the top-left corner of the source rectangle.
2908
2909 \note Setting sourceSize() or sourceTopLeft() may trigger a QImage copy
2910 internally, depending on the format and the backend.
2911
2912 When providing raw data, and the stride is not specified via
2913 setDataStride(), the stride (row pitch, row length in bytes) of the
2914 provided data must be equal to \c{width * pixelSize} where \c pixelSize is
2915 the number of bytes used for one pixel, and there must be no additional
2916 padding between rows. There is no row start alignment requirement.
2917
2918 When there is unused data at the end of each row in the input raw data,
2919 call setDataStride() with the total number of bytes per row. The stride
2920 must always be a multiple of the number of bytes for one pixel. The row
2921 stride is only applicable to image data for textures with an uncompressed
2922 format.
2923
2924 \note The format of the source data must be compatible with the texture
2925 format. With many graphics APIs the data is copied as-is into a staging
2926 buffer, there is no intermediate format conversion provided by QRhi. This
2927 applies to floating point formats as well, with, for example, RGBA16F
2928 requiring half floats in the source data.
2929
2930 \note Setting the stride via setDataStride() is only functional when
2931 QRhi::ImageDataStride is reported as
2932 \l{QRhi::isFeatureSupported()}{supported}. In practice this can be expected
2933 to be supported everywhere except for OpenGL ES 2.0.
2934
2935 \note When a QImage is given, the stride returned from
2936 QImage::bytesPerLine() is taken into account automatically.
2937
2938 \warning When a QImage is given and the QImage does not own the underlying
2939 pixel data, it is up to the caller to ensure that the associated data stays
2940 valid until the end of the frame. (just submitting the resource update batch
2941 is not sufficient, the data must stay valid until QRhi::endFrame() is called
2942 in order to be portable across all backends) If this cannot be ensured, the
2943 caller is strongly encouraged to call QImage::detach() on the image before
2944 passing it to uploadTexture().

3174 \since 6.6
3175 \brief Describes a texture upload operation.
3176
3177 Used with QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::uploadTexture(). That function has two
3178 variants: one taking a QImage and one taking a
3179 QRhiTextureUploadDescription. The former is a convenience version,
3180 internally creating a QRhiTextureUploadDescription with a single image
3181 targeting level 0 for layer 0.
3182
3183 An example of the the common, simple case of wanting to upload the contents
3184 of a QImage to a QRhiTexture with a matching pixel size:
3185
3186 \code
3187 QImage image(256, 256, QImage::Format_RGBA8888);
3188 image.fill(Qt::green); // or could use a QPainter targeting image
3189 QRhiTexture *texture = rhi->newTexture(QRhiTexture::RGBA8, QSize(256, 256));
3190 texture->create();
3191 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch *u = rhi->nextResourceUpdateBatch();
3192 u->uploadTexture(texture, image);
3193 \endcode
3194
3195 When cubemaps, pre-generated mip images, compressed textures, or partial
3196 uploads are involved, applications will have to use this class instead.
3197
3198 QRhiTextureUploadDescription also enables specifying batched uploads, which
3199 are useful for example when generating an atlas or glyph cache texture:
3200 multiple, partial uploads for the same subresource (meaning the same layer
3201 and level) are supported, and can be, depending on the backend and the
3202 underlying graphics API, more efficient when batched into the same
3203 QRhiTextureUploadDescription as opposed to issuing individual
3204 \l{QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::uploadTexture()}{uploadTexture()} commands for
3205 each of them.
3206
3207 \note Cubemaps have one layer for each of the six faces in the order +X,
3208 -X, +Y, -Y, +Z, -Z.
3209
3210 For example, specifying the faces of a cubemap could look like the following:
3211
3212 \code
3213 QImage faces[6];
3214 // ...
3215 QVarLengthArray<QRhiTextureUploadEntry, 6> entries;
3216 for (int i = 0; i < 6; ++i)
3217 entries.append(QRhiTextureUploadEntry(i, 0, faces[i]));
3218 QRhiTextureUploadDescription desc;
3219 desc.setEntries(entries.cbegin(), entries.cend());
3220 resourceUpdates->uploadTexture(texture, desc);
3221 \endcode
3222
3223 Another example that specifies mip images for a compressed texture:
3224
3225 \code
3226 QList<QRhiTextureUploadEntry> entries;
3227 const int mipCount = rhi->mipLevelsForSize(compressedTexture->pixelSize());
3228 for (int level = 0; level < mipCount; ++level) {
3229 const QByteArray compressedDataForLevel = ..
3230 entries.append(QRhiTextureUploadEntry(0, level, compressedDataForLevel));
3231 }
3232 QRhiTextureUploadDescription desc;
3233 desc.setEntries(entries.cbegin(), entries.cend());
3234 resourceUpdates->uploadTexture(compressedTexture, desc);
3235 \endcode
3236
3237 With partial uploads targeting the same subresource, it is recommended to
3238 batch them into a single upload request, whenever possible:
3239
3240 \code
3241 QRhiTextureSubresourceUploadDescription subresDesc(image);
3242 subresDesc.setSourceSize(QSize(10, 10));
3243 subResDesc.setDestinationTopLeft(QPoint(50, 40));
3244 QRhiTextureUploadEntry entry(0, 0, subresDesc); // layer 0, level 0
3245
3246 QRhiTextureSubresourceUploadDescription subresDesc2(image);
3247 subresDesc2.setSourceSize(QSize(30, 40));
3248 subResDesc2.setDestinationTopLeft(QPoint(100, 200));
3249 QRhiTextureUploadEntry entry2(0, 0, subresDesc2); // layer 0, level 0, i.e. same subresource
3250
3251 QRhiTextureUploadDescription desc({ entry, entry2});
3252 resourceUpdates->uploadTexture(texture, desc);
3253 \endcode

3790 \since 6.6
3791 \brief Vertex, index, or uniform (constant) buffer resource.
3792
3793 \note This is a RHI API with limited compatibility guarantees, see \l QRhi
3794 for details.
3795
3796 A QRhiBuffer encapsulates zero, one, or more native buffer objects (such as
3797 a \c VkBuffer or \c MTLBuffer). With some graphics APIs and backends
3798 certain types of buffers may not use a native buffer object at all (e.g.
3799 OpenGL if uniform buffer objects are not used), but this is transparent to
3800 the user of the QRhiBuffer API. Similarly, the fact that some types of
3801 buffers may use two or three native buffers underneath, in order to allow
3802 efficient per-frame content update without stalling the GPU pipeline, is
3803 mostly invisible to the applications and libraries.
3804
3805 A QRhiBuffer instance is always created by calling
3806 \l{QRhi::newBuffer()}{the QRhi's newBuffer() function}. This creates no
3807 native graphics resources. To do that, call create() after setting the
3808 appropriate options, such as the type, usage flags, size, although in most cases these
3809 are already set based on the arguments passed to
3810 \l{QRhi::newBuffer()}{newBuffer()}.
3811
3812 \section2 Example usage
3813
3814 To create a uniform buffer for a shader where the GLSL uniform block
3815 contains a single \c mat4 member, and update the contents:
3816
3817 \code
3818 QRhiBuffer *ubuf = rhi->newBuffer(QRhiBuffer::Dynamic, QRhiBuffer::UniformBuffer, 64);
3819 if (!ubuf->create()) { error(); }
3820 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch *batch = rhi->nextResourceUpdateBatch();
3821 QMatrix4x4 mvp;
3822 // ... set up the modelview-projection matrix
3823 batch->updateDynamicBuffer(ubuf, 0, 64, mvp.constData());
3824 // ...
3825 commandBuffer->resourceUpdate(batch); // or, alternatively, pass 'batch' to a beginPass() call
3826 \endcode
3827
3828 An example of creating a buffer with vertex data:
3829
3830 \code
3831 const float vertices[] = { -1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f };
3832 QRhiBuffer *vbuf = rhi->newBuffer(QRhiBuffer::Immutable, QRhiBuffer::VertexBuffer, sizeof(vertices));
3833 if (!vbuf->create()) { error(); }
3834 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch *batch = rhi->nextResourceUpdateBatch();
3835 batch->uploadStaticBuffer(vbuf, vertices);
3836 // ...
3837 commandBuffer->resourceUpdate(batch); // or, alternatively, pass 'batch' to a beginPass() call
3838 \endcode
3839
3840 An index buffer:
3841
3842 \code
3843 static const quint16 indices[] = { 0, 1, 2 };
3844 QRhiBuffer *ibuf = rhi->newBuffer(QRhiBuffer::Immutable, QRhiBuffer::IndexBuffer, sizeof(indices));
3845 if (!ibuf->create()) { error(); }
3846 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch *batch = rhi->nextResourceUpdateBatch();
3847 batch->uploadStaticBuffer(ibuf, indices);
3848 // ...
3849 commandBuffer->resourceUpdate(batch); // or, alternatively, pass 'batch' to a beginPass() call
3850 \endcode
3851
3852 \section2 Common patterns
3853
3854 A call to create() destroys any existing native resources if create() was
3855 successfully called before. If those native resources are still in use by
3856 an in-flight frame (i.e., there's a chance they are still read by the GPU),
3857 the destroying of those resources is deferred automatically. Thus a very
3858 common and convenient pattern to safely increase the size of an already
3859 initialized buffer is the following. In practice this drops and creates a
3860 whole new set of native resources underneath, so it is not necessarily a
3861 cheap operation, but is more convenient and still faster than the
3862 alternatives, because by not destroying the \c buf object itself, all
3863 references to it stay valid in other data structures (e.g., in any
3864 QRhiShaderResourceBinding the QRhiBuffer is referenced from).
3865
3866 \code
3867 if (buf->size() < newSize) {
3868 buf->setSize(newSize);
3869 if (!buf->create()) { error(); }
3870 }
3871 // continue using buf, fill it with new data
3872 \endcode
3873
3874 When working with uniform buffers, it will sometimes be necessary to
3875 combine data for multiple draw calls into a single buffer for efficiency
3876 reasons. Be aware of the aligment requirements: with some graphics APIs
3877 offsets for a uniform buffer must be aligned to 256 bytes. This applies
3878 both to QRhiShaderResourceBinding and to the dynamic offsets passed to
3879 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::setShaderResources()}{setShaderResources()}. Use the
3880 \l{QRhi::ubufAlignment()}{ubufAlignment()} and
3881 \l{QRhi::ubufAligned()}{ubufAligned()} functions to create portable code.
3882 As an example, the following is an outline for issuing multiple (\c N) draw
3883 calls with the same pipeline and geometry, but with a different data in the
3884 uniform buffers exposed at binding point 0. This assumes the buffer is
3885 exposed via
3886 \l{QRhiShaderResourceBinding::uniformBufferWithDynamicOffset()}{uniformBufferWithDynamicOffset()}
3887 which allows passing a QRhiCommandBuffer::DynamicOffset list to
3888 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::setShaderResources()}{setShaderResources()}.
3889
3890 \code
3891 const int N = 2;
3892 const int UB_SIZE = 64 + 4; // assuming a uniform block with { mat4 matrix; float opacity; }
3893 const int ONE_UBUF_SIZE = rhi->ubufAligned(UB_SIZE);
3894 const int TOTAL_UBUF_SIZE = N * ONE_UBUF_SIZE;
3895 QRhiBuffer *ubuf = rhi->newBuffer(QRhiBuffer::Dynamic, QRhiBuffer::UniformBuffer, TOTAL_UBUF_SIZE);
3896 if (!ubuf->create()) { error(); }
3897 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch *batch = rhi->nextResourceUpdateBatch();
3898 for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
3899 batch->updateDynamicBuffer(ubuf, i * ONE_UBUF_SIZE, 64, matrix.constData());
3900 batch->updateDynamicBuffer(ubuf, i * ONE_UBUF_SIZE + 64, 4, &opacity);
3901 }
3902 // ...
3903 // beginPass(), set pipeline, etc., and then:
3904 for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
3905 QRhiCommandBuffer::DynamicOffset dynOfs[] = { { 0, i * ONE_UBUF_SIZE } };
3906 cb->setShaderResources(srb, 1, dynOfs);
3907 cb->draw(36);

4190 \brief Renderbuffer resource.
4191
4192 Renderbuffers cannot be sampled or read but have some benefits over
4193 textures in some cases:
4194
4195 A \l DepthStencil renderbuffer may be lazily allocated and be backed by
4196 transient memory with some APIs. On some platforms this may mean the
4197 depth/stencil buffer uses no physical backing at all.
4198
4199 \l Color renderbuffers are useful since QRhi::MultisampleRenderBuffer may be
4200 supported even when QRhi::MultisampleTexture is not.
4201
4202 How the renderbuffer is implemented by a backend is not exposed to the
4203 applications. In some cases it may be backed by ordinary textures, while in
4204 others there may be a different kind of native resource used.
4205
4206 Renderbuffers that are used as (and are only used as) depth-stencil buffers
4207 in combination with a QRhiSwapChain's color buffers should have the
4208 UsedWithSwapChainOnly flag set. This serves a double purpose: such buffers,
4209 depending on the backend and the underlying APIs, be more efficient, and
4210 QRhi provides automatic sizing behavior to match the color buffers, which
4211 means calling setPixelSize() and create() are not necessary for such
4212 renderbuffers.

4379 \brief Texture resource.
4380
4381 A QRhiTexture encapsulates a native texture object, such as a \c VkImage or
4382 \c MTLTexture.
4383
4384 A QRhiTexture instance is always created by calling
4385 \l{QRhi::newTexture()}{the QRhi's newTexture() function}. This creates no
4386 native graphics resources. To do that, call create() after setting the
4387 appropriate options, such as the format and size, although in most cases
4388 these are already set based on the arguments passed to
4389 \l{QRhi::newTexture()}{newTexture()}.
4390
4391 Setting the \l{QRhiTexture::Flags}{flags} correctly is essential, otherwise
4392 various errors can occur depending on the underlying QRhi backend and
4393 graphics API. For example, when a texture will be rendered into from a
4394 render pass via QRhiTextureRenderTarget, the texture must be created with
4395 the \l RenderTarget flag set. Similarly, when the texture is going to be
4396 \l{QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::readBackTexture()}{read back}, the \l
4397 UsedAsTransferSource flag must be set upfront. Mipmapped textures must have
4398 the MipMapped flag set. And so on. It is not possible to change the flags
4399 once create() has succeeded. To release the existing and create a new
4400 native texture object with the changed settings, call the setters and call
4401 create() again. This then might be a potentially expensive operation.
4402
4403 \section2 Example usage
4404
4405 To create a 2D texture with a size of 512x512 pixels and set its contents to all green:
4406
4407 \code
4408 QRhiTexture *texture = rhi->newTexture(QRhiTexture::RGBA8, QSize(512, 512));
4409 if (!texture->create()) { error(); }
4410 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch *batch = rhi->nextResourceUpdateBatch();
4411 QImage image(512, 512, QImage::Format_RGBA8888);
4412 image.fill(Qt::green);
4413 batch->uploadTexture(texture, image);
4414 // ...
4415 commandBuffer->resourceUpdate(batch); // or, alternatively, pass 'batch' to a beginPass() call
4416 \endcode
4417
4418 \section2 Common patterns
4419
4420 A call to create() destroys any existing native resources if create() was
4421 successfully called before. If those native resources are still in use by
4422 an in-flight frame (i.e., there's a chance they are still read by the GPU),
4423 the destroying of those resources is deferred automatically. Thus a very
4424 common and convenient pattern to safely change the size of an already
4425 existing texture is the following. In practice this drops and creates a
4426 whole new native texture resource underneath, so it is not necessarily a
4427 cheap operation, but is more convenient and still faster than the
4428 alternatives, because by not destroying the \c texture object itself, all
4429 references to it stay valid in other data structures (e.g., in any
4430 QShaderResourceBinding the QRhiTexture is referenced from).
4431
4432 \code
4433 // determine newSize, e.g. based on the swapchain's output size or other factors
4434 if (texture->pixelSize() != newSize) {
4435 texture->setPixelSize(newSize);
4436 if (!texture->create()) { error(); }
4437 }
4438 // continue using texture, fill it with new data
4439 \endcode

4449
4450 Flag values to specify how the texture is going to be used. Not honoring
4451 the flags set before create() and attempting to use the texture in ways that
4452 was not declared upfront can lead to unspecified behavior or decreased
4453 performance depending on the backend and the underlying graphics API.
4454
4455 \value RenderTarget The texture going to be used in combination with
4456 QRhiTextureRenderTarget.
4457
4458 \value CubeMap The texture is a cubemap. Such textures have 6 layers, one
4459 for each face in the order of +X, -X, +Y, -Y, +Z, -Z. Cubemap textures
4460 cannot be multisample.
4461
4462 \value MipMapped The texture has mipmaps. The appropriate mip count is
4463 calculated automatically and can also be retrieved via
4464 QRhi::mipLevelsForSize(). The images for the mip levels have to be
4465 provided in the texture uploaded or generated via
4466 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::generateMips(). Multisample textures cannot have
4467 mipmaps.
4468
4469 \value sRGB Use an sRGB format.
4470
4471 \value UsedAsTransferSource The texture is used as the source of a texture
4472 copy or readback, meaning the texture is given as the source in
4473 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::copyTexture() or
4474 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::readBackTexture().
4475
4476 \value UsedWithGenerateMips The texture is going to be used with
4477 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::generateMips().
4478
4479 \value UsedWithLoadStore The texture is going to be used with image
4480 load/store operations, for example, in a compute shader.
4481
4482 \value UsedAsCompressedAtlas The texture has a compressed format and the
4483 dimensions of subresource uploads may not match the texture size.
4484
4485 \value ExternalOES The texture should use the GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES
4486 target with OpenGL. This flag is ignored with other graphics APIs.
4487
4488 \value ThreeDimensional The texture is a 3D texture. Such textures should
4489 be created with the QRhi::newTexture() overload taking a depth in addition
4490 to width and height. A 3D texture can have mipmaps but cannot be
4491 multisample. When rendering into, or uploading data to a 3D texture, the \c
4492 layer specified in the render target's color attachment or the upload
4493 description refers to a single slice in range [0..depth-1]. The underlying
4494 graphics API may not support 3D textures at run time. Support is indicated
4495 by the QRhi::ThreeDimensionalTextures feature.
4496
4497 \value TextureRectangleGL The texture should use the GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE
4498 target with OpenGL. This flag is ignored with other graphics APIs. Just
4499 like ExternalOES, this flag is useful when working with platform APIs where
4500 native OpenGL texture objects received from the platform are wrapped in a
4501 QRhiTexture, and the platform can only provide textures for a non-2D
4502 texture target.
4503
4504 \value TextureArray The texture is a texture array, i.e. a single texture
4505 object that is a homogeneous array of 2D textures. Texture arrays are
4506 created with QRhi::newTextureArray(). The underlying graphics API may not
4507 support texture array objects at run time. Support is indicated by the
4508 QRhi::TextureArrays feature. When rendering into, or uploading data to a
4509 texture array, the \c layer specified in the render target's color
4510 attachment or the upload description selects a single element in the array.
4511
4512 \value OneDimensional The texture is a 1D texture. Such textures can be
4513 created by passing a 0 height and depth to QRhi::newTexture(). Note that
4514 there can be limitations on one dimensional textures depending on the
4515 underlying graphics API. For example, rendering to them or using them with
4516 mipmap-based filtering may be unsupported. This is indicated by the

4906 One common use case for providing a write view format is working with

4910 of its shading pipeline. In this case what is wanted when rendering into
4911 such a texture is a render target view (e.g. VkImageView) that has the same,
4912 but non-sRGB format. (if e.g. from an OpenXR implementation one gets a
4913 VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_SRGB texture, it is likely that rendering into it should
4914 be done using a VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM view, if that is what the rendering
4915 engine's pipeline requires; in this example one would call this function
4916 with a ViewFormat that has a format of QRhiTexture::RGBA8 and \c srgb set to
4917 \c false).

5217 reuse of QRhiGraphicsPipeline instances: for example, a

5220 allowing a different QRhiRenderPassDescriptor and

5248 This function allows cloning a QRhiRenderPassDescriptor. The returned

5250 Cloning a QRhiRenderPassDescriptor object can become useful in situations

5252 (in order to allow creating new pipelines which in turn requires a
5253 renderpass descriptor object), and the lifetime of the renderpass
5254 descriptor created from a render target may be shorter than the pipelines.
5255 (for example, because the engine manages and destroys renderpasses together
5256 with the textures and render targets it was created from) In such a
5257 situation, it can be beneficial to store a cloned version in the data
5258 structures, and thus transferring ownership as well.

5282 When creating reusable components as part of a library, where graphics
5283 pipelines are created and maintained while targeting a QRhiRenderTarget (be
5284 it a swapchain or a texture) managed by the client of the library, the
5285 components must be able to deal with a changing QRhiRenderPassDescriptor.
5286 For example, because the render target changes and so invalidates the
5287 previously QRhiRenderPassDescriptor (with regards to the new render target
5288 at least) due to having a potentially different color format and attachments
5289 now. Or because \l{QRhiShadingRateMap}{variable rate shading} is taken into
5290 use dynamically. A simple pattern that helps dealing with this is performing
5291 the following check on every frame, to recognize the case when the pipeline
5292 needs to be associated with a new QRhiRenderPassDescriptor, because
5293 something is different about the render target now, compared to earlier

5441
5442 A texture render target allows rendering into one or more textures,
5443 optionally with a depth texture or depth/stencil renderbuffer.
5444
5445 For multisample rendering the common approach is to use a renderbuffer as
5446 the color attachment and set the non-multisample destination texture as the
5447 \c{resolve texture}. For more information, read the detailed description of
5448 the \l QRhiColorAttachment class.
5449
5450 \note Textures used in combination with QRhiTextureRenderTarget must be
5451 created with the QRhiTexture::RenderTarget flag.
5452
5453 The simplest example of creating a render target with a texture as its
5454 single color attachment:
5455
5456 \code
5457 QRhiTexture *texture = rhi->newTexture(QRhiTexture::RGBA8, size, 1, QRhiTexture::RenderTarget);
5458 texture->create();

5471 \enum QRhiTextureRenderTarget::Flag
5472
5473 Flag values describing the load/store behavior for the render target. The
5474 load/store behavior may be baked into native resources under the hood,
5475 depending on the backend, and therefore it needs to be known upfront and
5476 cannot be changed without rebuilding (and so releasing and creating new
5477 native resources).
5478
5479 \value PreserveColorContents Indicates that the contents of the color
5480 attachments is to be loaded when starting a render pass, instead of
5481 clearing. This is potentially more expensive, especially on mobile (tiled)
5482 GPUs, but allows preserving the existing contents between passes. When doing
5483 multisample rendering with a resolve texture set, setting this flag also
5484 requests the multisample color data to be stored (written out) to the
5485 multisample texture or render buffer. (for non-multisample rendering the
5486 color data is always stored, but for MSAA storing the multisample data
5487 decreases efficiency for certain GPU architectures, hence defaulting to not
5488 writing it out) Note however that this is non-portable: in some cases there
5489 is no intermediate multisample texture on the graphics API level, e.g. when
5490 using OpenGL ES's \c{GL_EXT_multisampled_render_to_texture} as it is all
5491 implicit, handled by the OpenGL ES implementation. In that case,
5492 PreserveColorContents will likely have no effect. Therefore, avoid relying
5493 on this flag when using multisample rendering and the color attachment is
5494 using a multisample QRhiTexture (not QRhiRenderBuffer).
5495
5496 \value PreserveDepthStencilContents Indicates that the contents of the
5497 depth texture is to be loaded when starting a render pass, instead
5498 clearing. Only applicable when a texture is used as the depth buffer
5499 (QRhiTextureRenderTargetDescription::depthTexture() is set) because
5500 depth/stencil renderbuffers may not have any physical backing and data may
5501 not be written out in the first place.
5502
5503 \value DoNotStoreDepthStencilContents Indicates that the contents of the
5504 depth texture does not need to be written out. Relevant only when a
5505 QRhiTexture, not QRhiRenderBuffer, is used as the depth-stencil buffer,
5506 because for QRhiRenderBuffer this is implicit. When a depthResolveTexture is
5507 set, the flag is not relevant, because the behavior is then as if the flag
5508 was set. This enum value is introduced in Qt 6.8.

5608
5609 A QRhiShaderResourceBindings is a collection of QRhiShaderResourceBinding
5610 objects, each of which describe a single binding.
5611
5612 Take a fragment shader with the following interface:
5613
5614 \badcode
5615 layout(std140, binding = 0) uniform buf {
5616 mat4 mvp;
5617 int flip;
5618 } ubuf;
5619
5620 layout(binding = 1) uniform sampler2D tex;
5621 \endcode
5622
5623 To make resources visible to the shader, the following
5624 QRhiShaderResourceBindings could be created and then passed to
5625 QRhiGraphicsPipeline::setShaderResourceBindings():
5626
5627 \code
5628 QRhiShaderResourceBindings *srb = rhi->newShaderResourceBindings();
5629 srb->setBindings({
5630 QRhiShaderResourceBinding::uniformBuffer(0, QRhiShaderResourceBinding::VertexStage | QRhiShaderResourceBinding::FragmentStage, ubuf),
5631 QRhiShaderResourceBinding::sampledTexture(1, QRhiShaderResourceBinding::FragmentStage, texture, sampler)
5632 });
5633 srb->create();
5634 // ...
5635 QRhiGraphicsPipeline *ps = rhi->newGraphicsPipeline();
5636 // ...
5637 ps->setShaderResourceBindings(srb);
5638 ps->create();
5639 // ...
5640 cb->setGraphicsPipeline(ps);
5641 cb->setShaderResources(); // binds srb
5642 \endcode
5643
5644 This assumes that \c ubuf is a QRhiBuffer, \c texture is a QRhiTexture,
5645 while \a sampler is a QRhiSampler. The example also assumes that the
5646 uniform block is present in the vertex shader as well so the same buffer is
5647 made visible to the vertex stage too.
5648
5649 \section3 Advanced usage
5650
5651 Building on the above example, let's assume that a pass now needs to use
5652 the exact same pipeline and shaders with a different texture. Creating a
5653 whole separate QRhiGraphicsPipeline just for this would be an overkill.
5654 This is why QRhiCommandBuffer::setShaderResources() allows specifying a \a
5655 srb argument. As long as the layouts (so the number of bindings and the
5656 binding points) match between two QRhiShaderResourceBindings, they can both
5657 be used with the same pipeline, assuming the pipeline was created with one of
5658 them in the first place. See isLayoutCompatible() for more details.
5659
5660 \code
5661 QRhiShaderResourceBindings *srb2 = rhi->newShaderResourceBindings();

6736 \class QRhiGraphicsPipeline
6737 \inmodule QtGuiPrivate
6738 \inheaderfile rhi/qrhi.h
6739 \since 6.6
6740 \brief Graphics pipeline state resource.
6741
6742 Represents a graphics pipeline. What exactly this map to in the underlying
6743 native graphics API, varies. Where there is a concept of pipeline objects,
6744 for example with Vulkan, the QRhi backend will create such an object upon
6745 calling create(). Elsewhere, for example with OpenGL, the
6746 QRhiGraphicsPipeline may merely collect the various state, and create()'s
6747 main task is to set up the corresponding shader program, but deferring
6748 looking at any of the requested state to a later point.
6749
6750 As with all QRhiResource subclasses, the two-phased initialization pattern
6751 applies: setting any values via the setters, for example setDepthTest(), is
6752 only effective after calling create(). Avoid changing any values once the
6753 QRhiGraphicsPipeline has been initialized via create(). To change some
6754 state, set the new value and call create() again. However, that will
6755 effectively release all underlying native resources and create new ones. As
6756 a result, it may be a heavy, expensive operation. Rather, prefer creating
6757 multiple pipelines with the different states, and
6758 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::setGraphicsPipeline()}{switch between them} when
6759 recording the render pass.
6760
6761 \note Setting the shader stages is mandatory. There must be at least one
6762 stage, and there must be a vertex stage.
6763
6764 \note Setting the shader resource bindings is mandatory. The referenced
6765 QRhiShaderResourceBindings must already have create() called on it by the
6766 time create() is called. Associating with a QRhiShaderResourceBindings that
6767 has no bindings is also valid, as long as no shader in any stage expects any
6768 resources. Using a QRhiShaderResourceBindings object that does not specify
6769 any actual resources (i.e., the buffers, textures, etc. for the binding
6770 points are set to \nullptr) is valid as well, as long as a
6771 \l{QRhiShaderResourceBindings::isLayoutCompatible()}{layout-compatible}
6772 QRhiShaderResourceBindings, that specifies resources for all the bindings,
6773 is going to be set via
6774 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::setShaderResources()}{setShaderResources()} when
6775 recording the render pass.
6776
6777 \note Setting the render pass descriptor is mandatory. To obtain a
6778 QRhiRenderPassDescriptor that can be passed to setRenderPassDescriptor(),
6779 use either QRhiTextureRenderTarget::newCompatibleRenderPassDescriptor() or
6780 QRhiSwapChain::newCompatibleRenderPassDescriptor().
6781
6782 \note Setting the vertex input layout is mandatory.
6783
6784 \note sampleCount() defaults to 1 and must match the sample count of the
6785 render target's color and depth stencil attachments.
6786
6787 \note The depth test, depth write, and stencil test are disabled by
6788 default. The face culling mode defaults to no culling.
6789
6790 \note stencilReadMask() and stencilWriteMask() apply to both faces. They
6791 both default to 0xFF.
6792
6793 \section2 Example usage
6794
6795 All settings of a graphics pipeline have defaults which might be suitable
6796 to many applications. Therefore a minimal example of creating a graphics
6797 pipeline could be the following. This assumes that the vertex shader takes
6798 a single \c{vec3 position} input at the input location 0. With the
6799 QRhiShaderResourceBindings and QRhiRenderPassDescriptor objects, plus the
6800 QShader collections for the vertex and fragment stages, a pipeline could be
6801 created like this:
6802
6803 \code
6804 QRhiShaderResourceBindings *srb;
6805 QRhiRenderPassDescriptor *rpDesc;
6806 QShader vs, fs;
6807 // ...
6808
6809 QRhiVertexInputLayout inputLayout;
6810 inputLayout.setBindings({ { 3 * sizeof(float) } });
6811 inputLayout.setAttributes({ { 0, 0, QRhiVertexInputAttribute::Float3, 0 } });
6812
6813 QRhiGraphicsPipeline *ps = rhi->newGraphicsPipeline();
6814 ps->setShaderStages({ { QRhiShaderStage::Vertex, vs }, { QRhiShaderStage::Fragment, fs } });
6815 ps->setVertexInputLayout(inputLayout);
6816 ps->setShaderResourceBindings(srb);
6817 ps->setRenderPassDescriptor(rpDesc);
6818 if (!ps->create()) { error(); }
6819 \endcode
6820
6821 The above code creates a pipeline object that uses the defaults for many
6822 settings and states. For example, it will use a \l Triangles topology, no
6823 backface culling, blending is disabled but color write is enabled for all
6824 four channels, depth test/write are disabled, stencil operations are
6825 disabled.

6834 \enum QRhiGraphicsPipeline::Flag
6835
6836 Flag values for describing the dynamic state of the pipeline, and other
6837 options. The viewport is always dynamic.
6838
6839 \value UsesBlendConstants Indicates that a blend color constant will be set
6840 via QRhiCommandBuffer::setBlendConstants()
6841
6842 \value UsesStencilRef Indicates that a stencil reference value will be set
6843 via QRhiCommandBuffer::setStencilRef()
6844
6845 \value UsesScissor Indicates that a scissor rectangle will be set via
6846 QRhiCommandBuffer::setScissor()
6847
6848 \value CompileShadersWithDebugInfo Requests compiling shaders with debug
6849 information enabled. This is relevant only when runtime shader compilation
6850 from source code is involved, and only when the underlying infrastructure
6851 supports this. With concrete examples, this is not relevant with Vulkan and
6852 SPIR-V, because the GLSL-to-SPIR-V compilation does not happen at run
6853 time. On the other hand, consider Direct3D and HLSL, where there are
6854 multiple options: when the QShader packages ship with pre-compiled bytecode
6855 (\c DXBC), debug information is to be requested through the tool that
6856 generates the \c{.qsb} file, similarly to the case of Vulkan and
6857 SPIR-V. However, when having HLSL source code in the pre- or
6858 runtime-generated QShader packages, the first phase of compilation (HLSL
6859 source to intermediate format) happens at run time too, with this flag taken
6860 into account. Debug information is relevant in particular with tools like
6861 RenderDoc since it allows seeing the original source code when investigating
6862 the pipeline and when performing vertex or fragment shader debugging.
6863
6864 \value UsesShadingRate Indicates that a per-draw (per-pipeline) shading rate
6865 value will be set via QRhiCommandBuffer::setShadingRate(). Not specifying
6866 this flag and still calling setShadingRate() may lead to varying, unexpected
6867 results depending on the underlying graphics API.
6868
6869 \value [since 6.12] UsesIndirectDraws Indicates that this pipeline will be used with
6870 indirect draw calls (QRhiCommandBuffer::drawIndirect() or
6871 QRhiCommandBuffer::drawIndexedIndirect()). Setting this flag allows the
6872 Metal backend to use Indirect Command Buffers (ICB) for GPU-driven
6873 rendering, which significantly reduces CPU overhead for large draw counts.
6874 Not setting this flag when using indirect draws is still functional but may
6875 result in less optimal performance on Metal. This flag has no effect on
6876 other backends.

7105 Creates the corresponding native graphics resources. If there are already

7107 destroy(), then destroy() is called implicitly first.
7108
7109 \return \c true when successful, \c false when a graphics operation failed.
7110 Regardless of the return value, calling destroy() is always safe.
7111
7112 \note This may be, depending on the underlying graphics API, an expensive
7113 operation, especially when shaders get compiled/optimized from source or
7114 from an intermediate bytecode format to the GPU's own instruction set.
7115 Where applicable, the QRhi backend automatically sets up the relevant
7116 non-persistent facilities to accelerate this, for example the Vulkan
7117 backend automatically creates a \c VkPipelineCache to improve data reuse
7118 during the lifetime of the application.
7119
7120 \note Drivers may also employ various persistent (disk-based) caching
7121 strategies for shader and pipeline data, which is hidden to and is outside
7122 of Qt's control. In some cases, depending on the graphics API and the QRhi
7123 backend, there are facilities within QRhi for manually managing such a
7124 cache, allowing the retrieval of a serializable blob that can then be
7125 reloaded in the future runs of the application to ensure faster pipeline
7126 creation times. See QRhi::pipelineCacheData() and
7127 QRhi::setPipelineCacheData() for details. Note also that when working with
7128 a QRhi instance managed by a higher level Qt framework, such as Qt Quick,
7129 it is possible that such disk-based caching is taken care of automatically,
7130 for example QQuickWindow uses a disk-based pipeline cache by default (which

7493 \since 6.6
7494 \brief Swapchain resource.
7495
7496 A swapchain enables presenting rendering results to a surface. A swapchain
7497 is typically backed by a set of color buffers. Of these, one is displayed
7498 at a time.
7499
7500 Below is a typical pattern for creating and managing a swapchain and some
7501 associated resources in order to render onto a QWindow:
7502
7503 \code
7504 void init()
7505 {
7506 sc = rhi->newSwapChain();
7507 ds = rhi->newRenderBuffer(QRhiRenderBuffer::DepthStencil,
7508 QSize(), // no need to set the size here due to UsedWithSwapChainOnly
7509 1,
7510 QRhiRenderBuffer::UsedWithSwapChainOnly);
7511 sc->setWindow(window);
7512 sc->setDepthStencil(ds);
7513 rp = sc->newCompatibleRenderPassDescriptor();
7514 sc->setRenderPassDescriptor(rp);
7515 resizeSwapChain();
7516 }
7517
7518 void resizeSwapChain()
7519 {
7520 hasSwapChain = sc->createOrResize();
7521 }
7522
7523 void render()
7524 {
7525 if (!hasSwapChain || notExposed)
7526 return;
7527
7528 if (sc->currentPixelSize() != sc->surfacePixelSize() || newlyExposed) {
7529 resizeSwapChain();
7530 if (!hasSwapChain)
7531 return;
7532 newlyExposed = false;
7533 }
7534
7535 rhi->beginFrame(sc);
7536 // ...
7537 rhi->endFrame(sc);
7538 }
7539 \endcode
7540
7541 Avoid relying on QWindow resize events to resize swapchains, especially
7542 considering that surface sizes may not always fully match the QWindow
7543 reported dimensions. The safe, cross-platform approach is to do the check
7544 via surfacePixelSize() whenever starting a new frame.
7545
7546 Releasing the swapchain must happen while the QWindow and the underlying
7547 native window is fully up and running. Building on the previous example:
7548
7549 \code
7550 void releaseSwapChain()
7551 {
7552 if (hasSwapChain) {
7553 sc->destroy();
7554 hasSwapChain = false;
7555 }
7556 }
7557
7558 // assuming Window is our QWindow subclass
7559 bool Window::event(QEvent *e)
7560 {
7561 switch (e->type()) {
7562 case QEvent::UpdateRequest: // for QWindow::requestUpdate()
7563 render();
7564 break;
7565 case QEvent::PlatformSurface:
7566 if (static_cast<QPlatformSurfaceEvent *>(e)->surfaceEventType() == QPlatformSurfaceEvent::SurfaceAboutToBeDestroyed)
7567 releaseSwapChain();
7568 break;
7569 default:
7570 break;
7571 }
7572 return QWindow::event(e);
7573 }
7574 \endcode
7575
7576 Initializing the swapchain and starting to render the first frame cannot
7577 start at any time. The safe, cross-platform approach is to rely on expose
7578 events. QExposeEvent is a loosely specified event that is sent whenever a
7579 window gets mapped, obscured, and resized, depending on the platform.
7580
7581 \code
7582 void Window::exposeEvent(QExposeEvent *)
7583 {
7584 // initialize and start rendering when the window becomes usable for graphics purposes
7585 if (isExposed() && !running) {
7586 running = true;
7587 init();
7588 }
7589
7590 // stop pushing frames when not exposed or size becomes 0
7591 if ((!isExposed() || (hasSwapChain && sc->surfacePixelSize().isEmpty())) && running)
7592 notExposed = true;
7593
7594 // continue when exposed again and the surface has a valid size
7595 if (isExposed() && running && notExposed && !sc->surfacePixelSize().isEmpty()) {
7596 notExposed = false;
7597 newlyExposed = true;
7598 }
7599
7600 if (isExposed() && !sc->surfacePixelSize().isEmpty())
7601 render();
7602 }
7603 \endcode
7604
7605 Once the rendering has started, a simple way to request a new frame is
7606 QWindow::requestUpdate(). While on some platforms this is merely a small
7607 timer, on others it has a specific implementation: for instance on macOS or
7608 iOS it may be backed by
7609 \l{https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corevideo/cvdisplaylink?language=objc}{CVDisplayLink}.
7610 The example above is already prepared for update requests by handling
7611 QEvent::UpdateRequest.
7612
7613 While acting as a QRhiRenderTarget, QRhiSwapChain also manages a
7614 QRhiCommandBuffer. Calling QRhi::endFrame() submits the recorded commands
7615 and also enqueues a \c present request. The default behavior is to do this
7616 with a swap interval of 1, meaning synchronizing to the display's vertical
7617 refresh is enabled. Thus the rendering thread calling beginFrame() and
7618 endFrame() will get throttled to vsync. On some backends this can be
7619 disabled by passing QRhiSwapChain:NoVSync in flags().
7620
7621 Multisampling (MSAA) is handled transparently to the applications when
7622 requested via setSampleCount(). Where applicable, QRhiSwapChain will take
7623 care of creating additional color buffers and issuing a multisample resolve
7624 command at the end of a frame. For OpenGL, it is necessary to request the
7625 appropriate sample count also via QSurfaceFormat, by calling
7626 QSurfaceFormat::setDefaultFormat() before initializing the QRhi.
7627
7628 \note This is a RHI API with limited compatibility guarantees, see \l QRhi
7629 for details.

7631
7632/*!
7633 \enum QRhiSwapChain::Flag
7634 Flag values to describe swapchain properties
7635
7636 \value SurfaceHasPreMulAlpha Indicates that the target surface has
7637 transparency with premultiplied alpha. For example, this is what Qt Quick
7638 uses when the alpha channel is enabled on the target QWindow, because the
7639 scenegraph rendrerer always outputs fragments with alpha multiplied into
7640 the red, green, and blue values. To ensure identical behavior across
7641 platforms, always set QSurfaceFormat::alphaBufferSize() to a non-zero value
7642 on the target QWindow whenever this flag is set on the swapchain.
7643
7644 \value SurfaceHasNonPreMulAlpha Indicates the target surface has
7645 transparency with non-premultiplied alpha. Be aware that this may not be
7646 supported on some systems, if the system compositor always expects content
7647 with premultiplied alpha. In that case the behavior with this flag set is
7648 expected to be equivalent to SurfaceHasPreMulAlpha.
7649
7650 \value sRGB Requests to pick an sRGB format for the swapchain's color
7651 buffers and/or render target views, where applicable. Note that this
7652 implies that sRGB framebuffer update and blending will get enabled for all
7653 content targeting this swapchain, and opting out is not possible. For
7654 OpenGL, set \l{QSurfaceFormat::sRGBColorSpace}{sRGBColorSpace} on the
7655 QSurfaceFormat of the QWindow in addition. Applicable only when the
7656 swapchain format is set to QRhiSwapChain::SDR.
7657
7658 \value UsedAsTransferSource Indicates the swapchain will be used as the
7659 source of a readback in QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::readBackTexture().
7660
7661 \value NoVSync Requests disabling waiting for vertical sync, also avoiding
7662 throttling the rendering thread. The behavior is backend specific and
7663 applicable only where it is possible to control this. Some may ignore the
7664 request altogether. For OpenGL, try instead setting the swap interval to 0
7665 on the QWindow via QSurfaceFormat::setSwapInterval().
7666
7667 \value MinimalBufferCount Requests creating the swapchain with the minimum
7668 number of buffers, which is in practice 2, unless the graphics
7669 implementation has a higher minimum number than that. Only applicable with
7670 backends where such control is available via the graphics API, for example,
7671 Vulkan. By default it is up to the backend to decide what number of buffers
7672 it requests (in practice this is almost always either 2 or 3), and it is
7673 not the applications' concern. However, on Vulkan for instance the backend
7674 will likely prefer the higher number (3), for example to avoid odd
7675 performance issues with some Vulkan implementations on mobile devices. It
7676 could be that on some platforms it can prove to be beneficial to force the
7677 lower buffer count (2), so this flag allows forcing that. Note that all
7678 this has no effect on the number of frames kept in flight, so the CPU
7679 (QRhi) will still prepare frames at most \c{N - 1} frames ahead of the GPU,
7680 even when the swapchain image buffer count larger than \c N. (\c{N} =
7681 QRhi::FramesInFlight and typically 2).

7697 OpenGL ES in particular, it could happen that the platform provides less
7698 than 8 bits (e.g. due to EGL and the QSurfaceFormat choosing a 565 or 444
7699 format - this is outside the control of QRhi). Standard dynamic range. May
7700 be combined with setting the QRhiSwapChain::sRGB flag.
7701

7704 (same as SDR/sRGB) and linear colors. Conversion to the display's native
7705 color space (such as, HDR10) is performed by the windowing system. On
7706 Windows this is the canonical color space of the system compositor, and is
7707 the recommended format for HDR swapchains in general on desktop platforms.

8037 \since 6.6
8038
8039 \brief Describes the high dynamic range related information of the
8040 swapchain's associated output.
8041
8042 To perform HDR-compatible tonemapping, where the target range is not [0,1],
8043 one often needs to know the maximum luminance of the display the
8044 swapchain's window is associated with. While this is often made
8045 user-configurable (think brightness, gamma and similar settings in games),
8046 it can be highly useful to set defaults based on the values reported by the
8047 display itself, thus providing a decent starting point.
8048
8049 There are some problems however: the information is exposed in different
8050 forms on different platforms, whereas with cross-platform graphics APIs
8051 there is often no associated solution at all, because managing such
8052 information is not in the scope of the API (and may rather be retrievable
8053 via other platform-specific means, if any).
8054
8055 With Metal on macOS/iOS, there is no luminance values exposed in the
8056 platform APIs. Instead, the maximum color component value, that would be
8057 1.0 in a non-HDR setup, is provided. The \c limitsType field indicates what
8058 kind of information is available. It is then up to the clients of QRhi to
8059 access the correct data from the \c limits union and use it as they see
8060 fit.
8061
8062 With an API like Vulkan, where there is no way to get such information, the
8063 values are always the built-in defaults.
8064
8065 Therefore, the struct returned from QRhiSwapChain::hdrInfo() contains
8066 either some hard-coded defaults or real values received from an API such as
8067 DXGI (IDXGIOutput6) or Cocoa (NSScreen). When no platform queries are
8068 available (or needs using platform facilities out of scope for QRhi), the
8069 hard-coded defaults are a maximum luminance of 1000 nits and an SDR white
8070 level of 200.
8071
8072 The struct also exposes the presumed luminance behavior of the platform and
8073 its compositor, to indicate what a color component value of 1.0 is treated
8074 as in a HDR color buffer. In some cases it will be necessary to perform
8075 color correction of non-HDR content composited with HDR content. To enable
8076 this, the SDR white level is queried from the system on some platforms
8077 (Windows) and exposed here.
8078
8079 \note This is a RHI API with limited compatibility guarantees, see \l QRhi

8128 There are currently two options:
8129
8130 Luminance values in nits:
8131
8132 \code
8133 struct {
8134 float minLuminance;
8135 float maxLuminance;
8136 } luminanceInNits;
8137 \endcode
8138
8139 On Windows the minimum and maximum luminance depends on the screen
8140 brightness. While not relevant for desktops, on laptops the screen
8141 brightness may change at any time. Increasing brightness implies decreased
8142 maximum luminance. In addition, the results may also be dependent on the
8143 HDR Content Brightness set in Windows Settings' System/Display/HDR view,
8144 if there is such a setting.
8145
8146 Note however that the changes made to the laptop screen's brightness or in
8147 the system settings while the application is running are not necessarily
8148 reflected in the returned values, meaning calling hdrInfo() again may still
8149 return the same luminance range as before for the rest of the process'
8150 lifetime. The exact behavior is up to DXGI and Qt has no control over it.
8151
8152 \note The Windows compositor works in scene-referred mode for HDR content.
8153 A color component value of 1.0 corresponds to a luminance of 80 nits. When
8154 rendering non-HDR content (e.g. 2D UI elements), the correction of the
8155 white level is often necessary. (e.g., outputting the fragment color (1, 1,
8156 1) will likely lead to showing a shade of white that is too dim on-screen)
8157 See \l sdrWhiteLevel.
8158
8159 For macOS/iOS, the current maximum and potential maximum color
8160 component values are provided:
8161
8162 \code
8163 struct {
8164 float maxColorComponentValue;
8165 float maxPotentialColorComponentValue;
8166 } colorComponentValue;
8167 \endcode
8168
8169 The value may depend on the screen brightness, which on laptops means that
8170 the result may change in the next call to hdrInfo() if the brightness was
8171 changed in the meantime. The maximum screen brightness implies a maximum
8172 color value of 1.0.
8173
8174 \note Apple's EDR is display-referred. 1.0 corresponds to a luminance level
8175 of SDR white (e.g. 200 nits), the value of which varies based on the screen
8176 brightness and possibly other settings. The exact luminance value for that,
8177 or the maximum luminance of the display, are not exposed to the
8178 applications.
8179
8180 \note It has been observed that the color component values are not set to
8181 the correct larger-than-1 value right away on startup on some macOS
8182 systems, but the values tend to change during or after the first frame.

9094
9095 \a params must point to an instance of one of the backend-specific
9096 subclasses of QRhiInitParams, such as, QRhiVulkanInitParams,
9097 QRhiMetalInitParams, QRhiD3D11InitParams, QRhiD3D12InitParams,
9098 QRhiGles2InitParams. See these classes for examples on creating a QRhi.
9099
9100 QRhi by design does not implement any fallback logic: if the specified API
9101 cannot be initialized, create() will fail, with warnings printed on the
9102 debug output by the backends. The clients of QRhi, for example Qt Quick,
9103 may however provide additional logic that allow falling back to an API
9104 different than what was requested, depending on the platform. If the
9105 intention is just to test if initialization would succeed when calling
9106 create() at later point, it is preferable to use probe() instead of
9107 create(), because with some backends probing can be implemented in a more
9108 lightweight manner as opposed to create(), which performs full
9109 initialization of the infrastructure and is wasteful if that QRhi instance
9110 is then thrown immediately away.
9111
9112 \a importDevice allows using an already existing graphics device, without
9113 QRhi creating its own. When not null, this parameter must point to an
9114 instance of one of the subclasses of QRhiNativeHandles:
9115 QRhiVulkanNativeHandles, QRhiD3D11NativeHandles, QRhiD3D12NativeHandles,
9116 QRhiMetalNativeHandles, QRhiGles2NativeHandles. The exact details and
9117 semantics depend on the backand and the underlying graphics API.
9118
9119 Specifying a QRhiAdapter in \a adapter offers a transparent, cross-API
9120 alternative to passing in a \c VkPhysicalDevice via QRhiVulkanNativeHandles,
9121 or an adapter LUID via QRhiD3D12NativeHandles. The ownership of \a adapter
9122 is not taken. See enumerateAdapters() for more information on this approach.

9189 \return the list of adapters (physical devices) present, or an empty list
9190 when such control is not available with a given graphics API.
9191
9192 Backends where such level of control is not available, the returned list is
9193 always empty. Thus an empty list does not indicate there are no graphics
9194 devices in the system, but that fine-grained control over selecting which
9195 one to use is not available.
9196
9197 Backends for Direct 3D 11, Direct 3D 12, and Vulkan can be expected to fully
9198 support enumerating adapters. Others may not. The backend is specified by \a
9199 impl. A QRhiAdapter returned from this function must only be used in a
9200 create() call with the same \a impl. Some underlying APIs may present
9201 further limitations, with Vulkan in particular the QRhiAdapter is specified
9202 to the QVulkanInstance (\c VkInstance).
9203
9204 The caller is expected to destroy the QRhiAdapter objects in the list. Apart
9205 from querying \l{QRhiAdapter::}{info()}, the only purpose of these objects is
9206 to be passed on to create(), or the corresponding functions in higher layers
9207 such as Qt Quick.
9208
9209 The following snippet, written specifically for Vulkan, shows how to
9210 enumerate the available physical devices and request to create a QRhi for
9211 the chosen one. This in practice is equivalent to passing in a \c
9212 VkPhysicalDevice via a QRhiVulkanNativeHandles to create(), but it involves
9213 less API-specific code on the application side:
9214
9215 \code
9216 QRhiVulkanInitParams initParams;
9217 initParams.inst = &vulkanInstance;
9218 QRhi::AdapterList adapters = QRhi::enumerateAdapters(QRhi::Vulkan, &initParams);
9219 QRhiAdapter *chosenAdapter = nullptr;
9220 for (QRhiAdapter *adapter : adapters) {
9221 if (looksGood(adapter->info())) {
9222 chosenAdapter = adapter;
9223 break;
9224 }
9225 }
9226 QRhi *rhi = QRhi::create(QRhi::Vulkan, &initParams, {}, nullptr, chosenAdapter);
9227 qDeleteAll(adapters);
9228 \endcode
9229
9230 Passing in \a params is required due to some of the underlying graphics
9231 APIs' design. With Vulkan in particular, the QVulkanInstance must be
9232 provided, since enumerating is not possible without it. Other fields in the
9233 backend-specific \a params will not actually be used by this function.
9234
9235 \a nativeHandles is optional. When specified, it must be a valid
9236 QRhiD3D11NativeHandles, QRhiD3D12NativeHandles, or QRhiVulkanNativeHandles,
9237 similarly to create(). However, unlike create(), only the physical device
9238 (in case of Vulkan) or the adapter LUID (in case of D3D) fields are used,
9239 all other fields are ignored. This can be used the restrict the results to a
9240 given adapter. The returned list will contain 1 or 0 elements in this case.
9241
9242 Note how in the previous code snippet the looksGood() function
9243 implementation cannot perform any platform-specific filtering based on the
9244 true adapter / physical device identity, such as the adapter LUID on Windows
9245 or the VkPhysicalDevice with Vulkan. This is because QRhiDriverInfo does not
9246 contain platform-specific data. Instead, use \a nativeHandles to get the
9247 results filtered already inside enumerateAdapters().
9248
9249 The following two snippets, using Direct 3D 12 as an example, are equivalent
9250 in practice:
9251
9252 \code
9253 // enumerateAdapters-based approach from Qt 6.10 on
9254 QRhiD3D12InitParams initParams;
9255 QRhiD3D12NativeHandles nativeHandles;

9307 transferred to the thread working with the QRhi and QRhiSwapChain and passed
9308 on to the swapchain. This allows doing native platform queries that are

9310 CAMetalLayer from a NSView, and then passing on the data to the

10206
10207 \a resourceUpdates, when not null, specifies a resource update batch that
10208 is to be committed and then released.
10209
10210 The color and depth/stencil buffers of the render target are normally
10211 cleared. The clear values are specified in \a colorClearValue and \a
10212 depthStencilClearValue. The exception is when the render target was created
10213 with QRhiTextureRenderTarget::PreserveColorContents and/or
10214 QRhiTextureRenderTarget::PreserveDepthStencilContents. The clear values are
10215 ignored then.
10216
10217 \note Enabling preserved color or depth contents leads to decreased
10218 performance depending on the underlying hardware. Mobile GPUs with tiled
10219 architecture benefit from not having to reload the previous contents into
10220 the tile buffer. Similarly, a QRhiTextureRenderTarget with a QRhiTexture as
10221 the depth buffer is less efficient than a QRhiRenderBuffer since using a
10222 depth texture triggers requiring writing the data out to it, while with
10223 renderbuffers this is not needed (as the API does not allow sampling or
10224 reading from a renderbuffer).
10225
10226 \note Do not assume that any state or resource bindings persist between
10227 passes.
10228
10229 \note The QRhiCommandBuffer's \c set and \c draw functions can only be
10230 called inside a pass. Also, with the exception of setGraphicsPipeline(),
10231 they expect to have a pipeline set already on the command buffer.
10232 Unspecified issues may arise otherwise, depending on the backend.
10233
10234 If \a rt is a QRhiTextureRenderTarget, beginPass() performs a check to see
10235 if the texture and renderbuffer objects referenced from the render target
10236 are up-to-date. This is similar to what setShaderResources() does for
10237 QRhiShaderResourceBindings. If any of the attachments had been rebuilt
10238 since QRhiTextureRenderTarget::create(), an implicit call to create() is
10239 made on \a rt. Therefore, if \a rt has a QRhiTexture color attachment \c
10240 texture, and one needs to make the texture a different size, the following
10241 is then valid:
10242 \code
10243 QRhiTextureRenderTarget *rt = rhi->newTextureRenderTarget({ { texture } });
10244 rt->create();
10245 // ...
10246 texture->setPixelSize(new_size);

10311 \a srb can be null in which case the current graphics or compute pipeline's
10312 associated QRhiShaderResourceBindings is used. When \a srb is non-null, it
10313 must be
10314 \l{QRhiShaderResourceBindings::isLayoutCompatible()}{layout-compatible},

10316 binding) must fully match the QRhiShaderResourceBindings that was
10317 associated with the pipeline at the time of calling the pipeline's create().
10318
10319 There are cases when a seemingly unnecessary setShaderResources() call is
10320 mandatory: when rebuilding a resource referenced from \a srb, for example
10321 changing the size of a QRhiBuffer followed by a QRhiBuffer::create(), this
10322 is the place where associated native objects (such as descriptor sets in
10323 case of Vulkan) are updated to refer to the current native resources that
10324 back the QRhiBuffer, QRhiTexture, QRhiSampler objects referenced from \a
10325 srb. In this case setShaderResources() must be called even if \a srb is
10326 the same as in the last call.
10327
10328 When \a srb is not null, the QRhiShaderResourceBindings object the pipeline
10329 was built with in create() is guaranteed to be not accessed in any form. In
10330 fact, it does not need to be valid even at this point: destroying the
10331 pipeline's associated srb after create() and instead explicitly specifying
10332 another, \l{QRhiShaderResourceBindings::isLayoutCompatible()}{layout
10333 compatible} one in every setShaderResources() call is valid.
10334
10335 \a dynamicOffsets allows specifying buffer offsets for uniform buffers that
10336 were associated with \a srb via
10337 QRhiShaderResourceBinding::uniformBufferWithDynamicOffset(). This is
10338 different from providing the offset in the \a srb itself: dynamic offsets
10339 do not require building a new QRhiShaderResourceBindings for every
10340 different offset, can avoid writing the underlying descriptors (with
10341 backends where applicable), and so they may be more efficient. Each element
10342 of \a dynamicOffsets is a \c binding - \c offset pair.
10343 \a dynamicOffsetCount specifies the number of elements in \a dynamicOffsets.
10344
10345 \note All offsets in \a dynamicOffsets must be byte aligned to the value
10346 returned from QRhi::ubufAlignment().
10347
10348 \note Some backends may limit the number of supported dynamic offsets.
10349 Avoid using a \a dynamicOffsetCount larger than 8.

10392 layout(location = 0) in vec4 position;
10393 layout(location = 1) in vec3 color;
10394 \endcode
10395
10396 and assume we have the data available in interleaved format, using only 2
10397 floats for position (so 5 floats per vertex: x, y, r, g, b). A QRhiGraphicsPipeline for
10398 this shader can then be created using the input layout:
10399
10400 \code
10401 QRhiVertexInputLayout inputLayout;
10402 inputLayout.setBindings({

10408 });

10828 QRhiCommandBuffer::ExternalContent.
10829
10830 With Vulkan, Metal, or Direct3D 12 one can query the native command buffer
10831 or encoder objects via nativeHandles() and enqueue commands to them. With
10832 OpenGL or Direct3D 11 the (device) context can be retrieved from
10833 QRhi::nativeHandles(). However, this must never be done without ensuring
10834 the QRhiCommandBuffer's state stays up-to-date. Hence the requirement for
10835 wrapping any externally added command recording between beginExternal() and
10836 endExternal(). Conceptually this is the same as QPainter's
10837 \l{QPainter::beginNativePainting()}{beginNativePainting()} and
10838 \l{QPainter::endNativePainting()}{endNativePainting()} functions.
10839
10840 For OpenGL in particular, this function has an additional task: it makes
10841 sure the context is made current on the current thread.
10842
10843 \note Once beginExternal() is called, no other render pass specific
10844 functions (\c set* or \c draw*) must be called on the

10847 \warning Some backends may return a native command buffer object from
10848 QRhiCommandBuffer::nativeHandles() that is different from the primary one
10849 when inside a beginExternal() - endExternal() block. Therefore it is
10850 important to (re)query the native command buffer object after calling
10851 beginExternal(). In practical terms this means that with Vulkan for example
10852 the externally recorded Vulkan commands are placed onto a secondary command
10853 buffer (with VK_COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_RENDER_PASS_CONTINUE_BIT).

10884 \note Do not expect results other than 0 when the QRhi::Timestamps feature
10885 is not reported as supported, or when QRhi::EnableTimestamps was not passed
10886 to QRhi::create(). There are exceptions to this, because with some graphics
10887 APIs (Metal) timings are available without having to perform extra
10888 operations (timestamp queries), but portable applications should always
10889 consciously opt-in to timestamp collection when they know it is needed, and
10890 call this function accordingly.
10891
10892 Care must be exercised with the interpretation of the value, as its
10893 precision and granularity is often not controlled by Qt, and depends on the
10894 underlying graphics API and its implementation. In particular, comparing
10895 the values between different graphics APIs and hardware is discouraged and
10896 may be meaningless.
10897
10898 When the frame was recorded with \l{QRhi::beginFrame()}{beginFrame()} and
10899 \l{QRhi::endFrame()}{endFrame()}, i.e., with a swapchain, the timing values
10900 will likely become available asynchronously. The returned value may
10901 therefore be 0 (e.g., for the first 1-2 frames) or the last known value
10902 referring to some previous frame. The value my also
10903 become 0 again under certain conditions, such as when resizing the window.
10904 It can be expected that the most up-to-date available value is retrieved in
10905 beginFrame() and becomes queriable via this function once beginFrame()
10906 returns.
10907
10908 \note Do not assume that the value refers to the previous
10909 (\c{currently_recorded - 1}) frame. It may refer to \c{currently_recorded -
10910 2} or \c{currently_recorded - 3} as well. The exact behavior may depend on
10911 the graphics API and its implementation.
10912
10913 On the other hand, with offscreen frames the returned value is up-to-date
10914 once \l{QRhi::endOffscreenFrame()}{endOffscreenFrame()} returns, because
10915 offscreen frames reduce GPU pipelining and wait the the commands to be
10916 complete.
10917
10918 \note This means that, unlike with swapchain frames, with offscreen frames
10919 the returned value is guaranteed to refer to the frame that has just been
10920 submitted and completed. (assuming this function is called after
10921 endOffscreenFrame() but before the next beginOffscreenFrame())
10922
10923 Watch out for the consequences of GPU frequency scaling and GPU clock
10924 changes, depending on the platform. For example, on Windows the returned
10925 timing may vary in a quite wide range between frames with modern graphics
10926 cards, even when submitting frames with a similar, or the same workload.
10927 This is out of scope for Qt to control and solve, generally speaking.
10928 However, the D3D12 backend automatically calls
10929 \l{https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/d3d12/nf-d3d12-id3d12device-setstablepowerstate}{ID3D12Device::SetStablePowerState()}
10930 whenever the environment variable \c QT_D3D_STABLE_POWER_STATE is set to a
10931 non-zero value. This can greatly stabilize the result. It can also have a
10932 non-insignificant effect on the CPU-side timings measured via QElapsedTimer
10933 for example, especially when offscreen frames are involved.
10934
10935 \note Do not and never ship applications to production with
10936 \c QT_D3D_STABLE_POWER_STATE set. See the Windows API documentation for details.

11162 \return true if the graphics device was lost.
11163
11164 The loss of the device is typically detected in beginFrame(), endFrame() or
11165 QRhiSwapChain::createOrResize(), depending on the backend and the underlying
11166 native APIs. The most common is endFrame() because that is where presenting
11167 happens. With some backends QRhiSwapChain::createOrResize() can also fail
11168 due to a device loss. Therefore this function is provided as a generic way
11169 to check if a device loss was detected by a previous operation.
11170
11171 When the device is lost, no further operations should be done via the QRhi.
11172 Rather, all QRhi resources should be released, followed by destroying the
11173 QRhi. A new QRhi can then be attempted to be created. If successful, all
11174 graphics resources must be reinitialized. If not, try again later,
11175 repeatedly.
11176
11177 While simple applications may decide to not care about device loss,
11178 on the commonly used desktop platforms a device loss can happen
11179 due to a variety of reasons, including physically disconnecting the
11180 graphics adapter, disabling the device or driver, uninstalling or upgrading
11181 the graphics driver, or due to errors that lead to a graphics device reset.
11182 Some of these can happen under perfectly normal circumstances as well, for
11183 example the upgrade of the graphics driver to a newer version is a common
11184 task that can happen at any time while a Qt application is running. Users
11185 may very well expect applications to be able to survive this, even when the
11186 application is actively using an API like OpenGL or Direct3D.
11187
11188 Qt's own frameworks built on top of QRhi, such as, Qt Quick, can be
11189 expected to handle and take appropriate measures when a device loss occurs.
11190 If the data for graphics resources, such as textures and buffers, are still
11191 available on the CPU side, such an event may not be noticeable on the
11192 application level at all since graphics resources can seamlessly be
11193 reinitialized then. However, applications and libraries working directly
11194 with QRhi are expected to be prepared to check and handle device loss
11195 situations themselves.
11196
11197 \note With OpenGL, applications may need to opt-in to context reset
11198 notifications by setting QSurfaceFormat::ResetNotification on the
11199 QOpenGLContext. This is typically done by enabling the flag in
11200 QRhiGles2InitParams::format. Keep in mind however that some systems may
11201 generate context resets situations even when this flag is not set.

11258 The blob returned by pipelineCacheData() is always specific to the Qt

11264 generated from a different QRhi backend, a warning is printed and \a data
11265 is safely ignored.
11266
11267 With Vulkan, this maps directly to VkPipelineCache. Calling this function
11268 creates a new Vulkan pipeline cache object, with its initial data sourced
11269 from \a data. The pipeline cache object is then used by all subsequently
11270 created QRhiGraphicsPipeline and QRhiComputePipeline objects, thus
11271 accelerating, potentially, the pipeline creation.
11272
11273 With other APIs there is no real pipeline cache, but they may provide a
11274 cache with bytecode from shader compilations (D3D) or program binaries
11275 (OpenGL). In applications that perform a lot of shader compilation from
11276 source at run time this can provide a significant boost in subsequent runs
11277 if the "pipeline cache" is pre-seeded from an earlier run using this
11278 function.
11279
11280 \note QRhi cannot give any guarantees that \a data has an effect on the
11281 pipeline and shader creation performance. With APIs like Vulkan, it is up
11282 to the driver to decide if \a data is used for some purpose, or if it is
11283 ignored.
11284
11285 See EnablePipelineCacheDataSave for further details about this feature.
11286
11287 \note This mechanism offered by QRhi is independent of the drivers' own
11288 internal caching mechanism, if any. This means that, depending on the
11289 graphics API and its implementation, the exact effects of retrieving and
11290 then reloading \a data are not predictable. Improved performance may not be

11408 library's statistics, here the result also includes a \c totalUsageBytes
11409 field which reports the total size including additional resources that are
11410 not under the memory allocator library's control (swapchain buffers,
11411 descriptor heaps, etc.), as reported by DXGI.
11412
11413 The values correspond to all types of memory used, combined. (i.e. video +

11416 Additional data, such as the total time in milliseconds spent in graphics

11418 cache lookups, and potentially expensive processing) is available with most
11419 backends.
11420
11421 \note The elapsed times for operations such as pipeline creation may be

11600 \note Do not confuse texture arrays with arrays of textures. A QRhiTexture
11601 created by this function is usable with 1D or 2D array samplers in the shader, for
11602 example: \c{layout(binding = 1) uniform sampler2DArray texArr;}. Arrays of
11603 textures refers to a list of textures that are exposed to the shader via
11604 QRhiShaderResourceBinding::sampledTextures() and a count > 1, and declared
11605 in the shader for example like this: \c{layout(binding = 1) uniform
11606 sampler2D textures[4];}
11607
11608 \note This is only functional when the TextureArrays feature is reported as
11609 supported at run time.
11610
11611 \note 1D textures are only functional when the OneDimensionalTextures feature is
11612 reported as supported at run time. Further, mipmaps on 1D textures are only
11613 functional when the OneDimensionalTextureMipmaps feature is reported at run time.

11803 when called outside an active frame (that is, when isRecordingFrame() is \c

11805
11806 With backends like Vulkan or Metal, it is the responsibility of the QRhi
11807 backend to block whenever starting a new frame and finding the CPU is
11808 already \c{FramesInFlight - 1} frames ahead of the GPU (because the command
11809 buffer submitted in frame no. \c{current} - \c{FramesInFlight} has not yet
11810 completed).
11811
11812 Resources that tend to change between frames (such as, the native buffer
11813 object backing a QRhiBuffer with type QRhiBuffer::Dynamic) exist in
11814 multiple versions, so that each frame, that can be submitted while a
11815 previous one is still being processed, works with its own copy, thus
11816 avoiding the need to stall the pipeline when preparing the frame. (The
11817 contents of a resource that may still be in use in the GPU should not be
11818 touched, but simply always waiting for the previous frame to finish would
11819 reduce GPU utilization and ultimately, performance and efficiency.)
11820
11821 Conceptually this is somewhat similar to copy-on-write schemes used by some
11822 C++ containers and other types. It may also be similar to what an OpenGL or
11823 Direct 3D 11 implementation performs internally for certain type of objects.
11824
11825 In practice, such double (or triple) buffering resources is realized in
11826 the Vulkan, Metal, and similar QRhi backends by having a fixed number of
11827 native resource (such as, VkBuffer) \c slots behind a QRhiResource. That
11828 can then be indexed by a frame slot index running 0, 1, ..,
11829 FramesInFlight-1, and then wrapping around.
11830
11831 All this is managed transparently to the users of QRhi. However,
11832 applications that integrate rendering done directly with the graphics API
11833 may want to perform a similar double or triple buffering of their own
11834 graphics resources. That is then most easily achieved by knowing the values
11835 of the maximum number of in-flight frames (retrievable via resourceLimit())
11836 and the current frame (slot) index (returned by this function).

11850 \note The QRhiCommandBuffer stored to *cb is not owned by the caller.
11851
11852 Rendering without a swapchain is possible as well. The typical use case is
11853 to use it in completely offscreen applications, e.g. to generate image
11854 sequences by rendering and reading back without ever showing a window.
11855
11856 Usage in on-screen applications (so beginFrame, endFrame,
11857 beginOffscreenFrame, endOffscreenFrame, beginFrame, ...) is possible too
11858 but it does reduce parallelism so it should be done only infrequently.
11859
11860 Offscreen frames do not let the CPU potentially generate another frame
11861 while the GPU is still processing the previous one. This has the side
11862 effect that if readbacks are scheduled, the results are guaranteed to be
11863 available once endOffscreenFrame() returns. That is not the case with
11864 frames targeting a swapchain: there the GPU is potentially better utilized,
11865 but working with readback operations needs more care from the application
11866 because endFrame(), unlike endOffscreenFrame(), does not guarantee that the
11867 results from the readback are available at that point.
11868
