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

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

638 \enum QRhi::Flag
639 Describes what special features to enable.
640
641 \value EnableDebugMarkers Enables debug marker groups. Without this frame
642 debugging features like making debug groups and custom resource name
643 visible in external GPU debugging tools will not be available and functions
644 like QRhiCommandBuffer::debugMarkBegin() will become no-ops. Avoid enabling
645 in production builds as it may involve a small performance impact. Has no
646 effect when the QRhi::DebugMarkers feature is not reported as supported.
647
648 \value EnableTimestamps Enables GPU timestamp collection. When not set,
649 QRhiCommandBuffer::lastCompletedGpuTime() always returns 0. Enable this
650 only when needed since there may be a small amount of extra work involved
651 (e.g. timestamp queries), depending on the underlying graphics API. Has no
652 effect when the QRhi::Timestamps feature is not reported as supported.
653
654 \value PreferSoftwareRenderer Indicates that backends should prefer
655 choosing an adapter or physical device that renders in software on the CPU.
656 For example, with Direct3D there is typically a "Basic Render Driver"
657 adapter available with \c{DXGI_ADAPTER_FLAG_SOFTWARE}. Setting this flag
658 requests the backend to choose that adapter over any other, as long as no
659 specific adapter was forced by other backend-specific means. With Vulkan
660 this maps to preferring physical devices with
661 \c{VK_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU}. When not available, or when it is not
662 possible to decide if an adapter/device is software-based, this flag is
663 ignored. It may also be ignored with graphics APIs that have no concept and
664 means of enumerating adapters/devices.
665
666 \value EnablePipelineCacheDataSave Enables retrieving the pipeline cache
667 contents, where applicable. When not set, pipelineCacheData() will return
668 an empty blob always. With backends where retrieving and restoring the
669 pipeline cache contents is not supported, the flag has no effect and the
670 serialized cache data is always empty. The flag provides an opt-in
671 mechanism because the cost of maintaining the related data structures is
672 not insignificant with some backends. With Vulkan this feature maps
673 directly to VkPipelineCache, vkGetPipelineCacheData and
674 VkPipelineCacheCreateInfo::pInitialData. With Direct3D 11 there is no real
675 pipline cache, but the results of HLSL->DXBC compilations are stored and
676 can be serialized/deserialized via this mechanism. This allows skipping the
677 time consuming D3DCompile() in future runs of the applications for shaders
678 that come with HLSL source instead of offline pre-compiled bytecode. This
679 can provide a huge boost in startup and load times, if there is a lot of
680 HLSL source compilation happening. With OpenGL the "pipeline cache" is
681 simulated by retrieving and loading shader program binaries (if supported
682 by the driver). With OpenGL there are additional, disk-based caching
683 mechanisms for shader/program binaries provided by Qt. Writing to those may
684 get disabled whenever this flag is set since storing program binaries to
685 multiple caches is not sensible.
686
687 \value SuppressSmokeTestWarnings Indicates that, with backends where this
688 is relevant, certain, non-fatal QRhi::create() failures should not
689 produce qWarning() calls. For example, with D3D11, passing this flag
690 makes a number of warning messages (that appear due to QRhi::create()
691 failing) to become categorized debug prints instead under the commonly used
692 \c{qt.rhi.general} logging category. This can be used by engines, such as
693 Qt Quick, that feature fallback logic, i.e. they retry calling create()
694 with a different set of flags (such as, \l PreferSoftwareRenderer), in order
695 to hide the unconditional warnings from the output that would be printed
696 when the first create() attempt had failed.

717/*!
718 \enum QRhi::Feature
719 Flag values to indicate what features are supported by the backend currently in use.
720
721 \value MultisampleTexture Indicates that textures with a sample count larger
722 than 1 are supported. In practice this feature will be unsupported with
723 OpenGL ES versions older than 3.1, and OpenGL older than 3.0.
724
725 \value MultisampleRenderBuffer Indicates that renderbuffers with a sample
726 count larger than 1 are supported. In practice this feature will be
727 unsupported with OpenGL ES 2.0, and may also be unsupported with OpenGL 2.x
728 unless the relevant extensions are present.
729
730 \value DebugMarkers Indicates that debug marker groups (and so
731 QRhiCommandBuffer::debugMarkBegin()) are supported.
732
733 \value Timestamps Indicates that command buffer timestamps are supported.
734 Relevant for QRhiCommandBuffer::lastCompletedGpuTime(). This can be
735 expected to be supported on Metal, Vulkan, Direct 3D 11 and 12, and OpenGL
736 contexts of version 3.3 or newer. However, with some of these APIs support
737 for timestamp queries is technically optional, and therefore it cannot be
738 guaranteed that this feature is always supported with every implementation
739 of them.
740
741 \value Instancing Indicates that instanced drawing is supported. In
742 practice this feature will be unsupported with OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenGL
743 3.2 or older.
744
745 \value CustomInstanceStepRate Indicates that instance step rates other
746 than 1 are supported. In practice this feature will always be unsupported
747 with OpenGL. In addition, running with Vulkan 1.0 without
748 VK_EXT_vertex_attribute_divisor will also lead to reporting false for this
749 feature.
750
751 \value PrimitiveRestart Indicates that restarting the assembly of
752 primitives when encountering an index value of 0xFFFF
753 (\l{QRhiCommandBuffer::IndexUInt16}{IndexUInt16}) or 0xFFFFFFFF
754 (\l{QRhiCommandBuffer::IndexUInt32}{IndexUInt32}) is enabled, for certain
755 primitive topologies at least. QRhi will try to enable this with all
756 backends, but in some cases it will not be supported. Dynamically
757 controlling primitive restart is not possible since with some APIs
758 primitive restart with a fixed index is always on. Applications must assume
759 that whenever this feature is reported as supported, the above mentioned
760 index values \c may be treated specially, depending on the topology. The
761 only two topologies where primitive restart is guaranteed to behave
762 identically across backends, as long as this feature is reported as
763 supported, are \l{QRhiGraphicsPipeline::LineStrip}{LineStrip} and
764 \l{QRhiGraphicsPipeline::TriangleStrip}{TriangleStrip}.
765
766 \value NonDynamicUniformBuffers Indicates that creating buffers with the
767 usage \l{QRhiBuffer::UniformBuffer}{UniformBuffer} and the types
768 \l{QRhiBuffer::Immutable}{Immutable} or \l{QRhiBuffer::Static}{Static} is
769 supported. When reported as unsupported, uniform (constant) buffers must be
770 created as \l{QRhiBuffer::Dynamic}{Dynamic}. (which is recommended
771 regardless)
772
773 \value NonFourAlignedEffectiveIndexBufferOffset Indicates that effective
774 index buffer offsets (\c{indexOffset + firstIndex * indexComponentSize})
775 that are not 4 byte aligned are supported. When not supported, attempting
776 to issue a \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::drawIndexed()}{drawIndexed()} with a
777 non-aligned effective offset may lead to unspecified behavior. Relevant in
778 particular for Metal, where this will be reported as unsupported.
779
780 \value NPOTTextureRepeat Indicates that the
781 \l{QRhiSampler::Repeat}{Repeat} wrap mode and mipmap filtering modes are
782 supported for textures with a non-power-of-two size. In practice this can
783 only be false with OpenGL ES 2.0 implementations without
784 \c{GL_OES_texture_npot}.
785
786 \value RedOrAlpha8IsRed Indicates that the
787 \l{QRhiTexture::RED_OR_ALPHA8}{RED_OR_ALPHA8} format maps to a one
788 component 8-bit \c red format. This is the case for all backends except
789 OpenGL when using either OpenGL ES or a non-core profile context. There
790 \c{GL_ALPHA}, a one component 8-bit \c alpha format, is used
791 instead. Using the special texture format allows having a single code
792 path for creating textures, leaving it up to the backend to decide the
793 actual format, while the feature flag can be used to pick the
794 appropriate shader variant for sampling the texture.
795
796 \value ElementIndexUint Indicates that 32-bit unsigned integer elements are
797 supported in the index buffer. In practice this is true everywhere except
798 when running on plain OpenGL ES 2.0 implementations without the necessary
799 extension. When false, only 16-bit unsigned elements are supported in the
800 index buffer.
801
802 \value Compute Indicates that compute shaders, image load/store, and
803 storage buffers are supported. OpenGL older than 4.3 and OpenGL ES older
804 than 3.1 have no compute support.
805
806 \value WideLines Indicates that lines with a width other than 1 are
807 supported. When reported as not supported, the line width set on the
808 graphics pipeline state is ignored. This can always be false with some
809 backends (D3D11, D3D12, Metal). With Vulkan, the value depends on the
810 implementation. With OpenGL, wide lines are not supported in core profile
811 contexts.
812
813 \value VertexShaderPointSize Indicates that the size of rasterized points
814 set via \c{gl_PointSize} in the vertex shader is taken into account. When
815 reported as not supported, drawing points with a size other than 1 is not
816 supported. Setting \c{gl_PointSize} in the shader is still valid then, but
817 is ignored. (for example, when generating HLSL, the assignment is silently
818 dropped from the generated code) Note that some APIs (Metal, Vulkan)
819 require the point size to be set in the shader explicitly whenever drawing
820 points, even when the size is 1, as they do not automatically default to 1.
821
822 \value BaseVertex Indicates that
823 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::drawIndexed()}{drawIndexed()} supports the \c
824 vertexOffset argument. When reported as not supported, the vertexOffset
825 value in an indexed draw is ignored. In practice this feature will be
826 unsupported with OpenGL and OpenGL ES versions lower than 3.2, and with
827 Metal on older iOS devices, including the iOS Simulator.
828
829 \value BaseInstance Indicates that instanced draw commands support the \c
830 firstInstance argument. When reported as not supported, the firstInstance
831 value is ignored and the instance ID starts from 0. In practice this feature
832 will be unsupported with with Metal on older iOS devices, including the iOS
833 Simulator, and all versions of OpenGL. The latter is due to OpenGL ES not
834 supporting draw calls with a base instance at all. Currently QRhi's OpenGL
835 backend does not implement the functionality for OpenGL (non-ES) either,
836 because portable applications cannot rely on a non-zero base instance in
837 practice due to GLES. If the application still chooses to do so, it should
838 be aware of the InstanceIndexIncludesBaseInstance feature as well.
839
840 \value TriangleFanTopology Indicates that QRhiGraphicsPipeline::setTopology()
841 supports QRhiGraphicsPipeline::TriangleFan. In practice this feature will be
842 unsupported with Metal and Direct 3D 11/12.
843
844 \value ReadBackNonUniformBuffer Indicates that
845 \l{QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::readBackBuffer()}{reading buffer contents} is
846 supported for QRhiBuffer instances with a usage different than
847 UniformBuffer. In practice this feature will be unsupported with OpenGL ES
848 2.0.
849
850 \value ReadBackNonBaseMipLevel Indicates that specifying a mip level other
851 than 0 is supported when reading back texture contents. When not supported,
852 specifying a non-zero level in QRhiReadbackDescription leads to returning
853 an all-zero image. In practice this feature will be unsupported with OpenGL
854 ES 2.0.
855
856 \value TexelFetch Indicates that texelFetch() and textureLod() are available
857 in shaders. In practice this will be reported as unsupported with OpenGL ES
858 2.0 and OpenGL 2.x contexts, because GLSL 100 es and versions before 130 do
859 not support these functions.
860
861 \value RenderToNonBaseMipLevel Indicates that specifying a mip level other
862 than 0 is supported when creating a QRhiTextureRenderTarget with a
863 QRhiTexture as its color attachment. When not supported, create() will fail
864 whenever the target mip level is not zero. In practice this feature will be
865 unsupported with OpenGL ES 2.0.
866
867 \value IntAttributes Indicates that specifying input attributes with
868 signed and unsigned integer types for a shader pipeline is supported. When
869 not supported, build() will succeed but just show a warning message and the
870 values of the target attributes will be broken. In practice this feature
871 will be unsupported with OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenGL 2.x.
872
873 \value ScreenSpaceDerivatives Indicates that functions such as dFdx(),
874 dFdy(), and fwidth() are supported in shaders. In practice this feature will
875 be unsupported with OpenGL ES 2.0 without the GL_OES_standard_derivatives
876 extension.
877
878 \value ReadBackAnyTextureFormat Indicates that reading back texture
879 contents can be expected to work for any QRhiTexture::Format. Backends
880 other than OpenGL can be expected to return true for this feature. When
881 reported as false, which will typically happen with OpenGL, only the
882 formats QRhiTexture::RGBA8 and QRhiTexture::BGRA8 are guaranteed to be
883 supported for readbacks. In addition, with OpenGL, but not OpenGL ES,
884 reading back the 1 byte per component formats QRhiTexture::R8 and
885 QRhiTexture::RED_OR_ALPHA8 are supported as well. Reading back floating
886 point formats QRhiTexture::RGBA16F and RGBA32F may work too with OpenGL, as
887 long as the implementation provides support for these, but QRhi can give no
888 guarantees, as indicated by this flag.
889
890 \value PipelineCacheDataLoadSave Indicates that the pipelineCacheData() and
891 setPipelineCacheData() functions are functional. When not supported, the
892 functions will not perform any action, the retrieved blob is always empty,
893 and thus no benefits can be expected from retrieving and, during a
894 subsequent run of the application, reloading the pipeline cache content.
895
896 \value ImageDataStride Indicates that specifying a custom stride (row
897 length) for raw image data in texture uploads is supported. When not
898 supported (which can happen when the underlying API is OpenGL ES 2.0 without
899 support for GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH),
900 QRhiTextureSubresourceUploadDescription::setDataStride() must not be used.
901
902 \value RenderBufferImport Indicates that QRhiRenderBuffer::createFrom() is
903 supported. For most graphics APIs this is not sensible because
904 QRhiRenderBuffer encapsulates texture objects internally, just like
905 QRhiTexture. With OpenGL however, renderbuffer object exist as a separate
906 object type in the API, and in certain environments (for example, where one
907 may want to associated a renderbuffer object with an EGLImage object) it is
908 important to allow wrapping an existing OpenGL renderbuffer object with a
909 QRhiRenderBuffer.
910
911 \value ThreeDimensionalTextures Indicates that 3D textures are supported.
912 In practice this feature will be unsupported with OpenGL and OpenGL ES
913 versions lower than 3.0.
914
915 \value RenderTo3DTextureSlice Indicates that rendering to a slice in a 3D
916 texture is supported. This can be unsupported with Vulkan 1.0 due to
917 relying on VK_IMAGE_CREATE_2D_ARRAY_COMPATIBLE_BIT which is a Vulkan 1.1
918 feature.
919
920 \value TextureArrays Indicates that texture arrays are supported and
921 QRhi::newTextureArray() is functional. Note that even when texture arrays
922 are not supported, arrays of textures are still available as those are two
923 independent features.
924
925 \value Tessellation Indicates that the tessellation control and evaluation
926 stages are supported. When reported as supported, the topology of a
927 QRhiGraphicsPipeline can be set to
928 \l{QRhiGraphicsPipeline::Patches}{Patches}, the number of control points
929 can be set via
930 \l{QRhiGraphicsPipeline::setPatchControlPointCount()}{setPatchControlPointCount()},
931 and shaders for tessellation control and evaluation can be specified in the
932 QRhiShaderStage list. Tessellation shaders have portability issues between
933 APIs (for example, translating GLSL/SPIR-V to HLSL is problematic due to
934 the way hull shaders are structured, whereas Metal uses a somewhat
935 different tessellation pipeline than others), and therefore unexpected
936 issues may still arise, even though basic functionality is implemented
937 across all the underlying APIs. For Direct 3D in particular, handwritten
938 HLSL hull and domain shaders must be injected into each QShader for the
939 tessellation control and evaluation stages, respectively, since qsb cannot
940 generate these from SPIR-V. Note that isoline tessellation should be
941 avoided as it will not be supported by all backends. The maximum patch
942 control point count portable between backends is 32.
943
944 \value GeometryShader Indicates that the geometry shader stage is supported.
945 When supported, a geometry shader can be specified in the QRhiShaderStage
946 list. Geometry Shaders are considered an experimental feature in QRhi and
947 can only be expected to be supported with Vulkan, Direct 3D 11 and 12,
948 OpenGL (3.2+) and OpenGL ES (3.2+), assuming the implementation reports it
949 as supported at run time. Starting with Qt 6.11 geometry shaders are
950 automatically translated to HLSL, and therefore no injection of handwritten
951 HLSL geometry shaders is necessary anymore (but note that gl_in and
952 expressions such as gl_in[0].gl_Position are not supported; rather, pass the
953 position as an output variable from the vertex shader). Geometry shaders are
954 not supported with Metal.
955
956 \value TextureArrayRange Indicates that for
957 \l{QRhi::newTextureArray()}{texture arrays} it is possible to specify a
958 range that is exposed to the shaders. Normally all array layers are exposed
959 and it is up to the shader to select the layer (via the third coordinate
960 passed to texture() when sampling the \c sampler2DArray). When supported,
961 calling QRhiTexture::setArrayRangeStart() and
962 QRhiTexture::setArrayRangeLength() before
963 \l{QRhiTexture::create()}{building} or
964 \l{QRhiTexture::createFrom()}{importing} the native texture has an effect,
965 and leads to selecting only the specified range from the array. This will
966 be necessary in special cases, such as when working with accelerated video
967 decoding and Direct 3D 11, because a texture array with both
968 \c{D3D11_BIND_DECODER} and \c{D3D11_BIND_SHADER_RESOURCE} on it is only
969 usable as a shader resource if a single array layer is selected. Note that
970 all this is applicable only when the texture is used as a
971 QRhiShaderResourceBinding::SampledTexture or
972 QRhiShaderResourceBinding::Texture shader resource, and is not compatible
973 with image load/store. This feature is only available with some backends as
974 it does not map well to all graphics APIs, and it is only meant to provide
975 support for special cases anyhow. In practice the feature can be expected to
976 be supported with Direct3D 11/12 and Vulkan.
977
978 \value NonFillPolygonMode Indicates that setting a PolygonMode other than
979 the default Fill is supported for QRhiGraphicsPipeline. A common use case
980 for changing the mode to Line is to get wireframe rendering. This however
981 is not available as a core OpenGL ES feature, and is optional with Vulkan
982 as well as some mobile GPUs may not offer the feature.
983
984 \value OneDimensionalTextures Indicates that 1D textures are supported.
985 In practice this feature will be unsupported on OpenGL ES.
986
987 \value OneDimensionalTextureMipmaps Indicates that generating 1D texture
988 mipmaps are supported. In practice this feature will be unsupported on
989 backends that do not report support for
990 \l{OneDimensionalTextures}, Metal, and Direct 3D 12.
991
992 \value HalfAttributes Indicates that specifying input attributes with half
993 precision (16bit) floating point types for a shader pipeline is supported.
994 When not supported, build() will succeed but just show a warning message
995 and the values of the target attributes will be broken. In practice this
996 feature will be unsupported in some OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenGL 2.x
997 implementations. Note that while Direct3D 11/12 does support half precision
998 input attributes, it does not support the half3 type. The D3D backends pass
999 half3 attributes as half4. To ensure cross platform compatibility, half3
1000 inputs should be padded to 8 bytes.
1001
1002 \value RenderToOneDimensionalTexture Indicates that 1D texture render
1003 targets are supported. In practice this feature will be unsupported on
1004 backends that do not report support for
1005 \l{OneDimensionalTextures}, and Metal.
1006
1007 \value ThreeDimensionalTextureMipmaps Indicates that generating 3D texture
1008 mipmaps are supported. This is typically supported with all backends starting
1009 with Qt 6.10.
1010
1011 \value MultiView Indicates that multiview, see e.g.
1012 \l{https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/specs/1.3-extensions/man/html/VK_KHR_multiview.html}{VK_KHR_multiview}
1013 is supported. With OpenGL ES 2.0, Direct 3D 11, and OpenGL (ES)
1014 implementations without \c{GL_OVR_multiview2} this feature will not be
1015 supported. With Vulkan 1.1 and newer, and Direct 3D 12 multiview is
1016 typically supported. When reported as supported, creating a
1017 QRhiTextureRenderTarget with a QRhiColorAttachment that references a texture
1018 array and has \l{QRhiColorAttachment::setMultiViewCount()}{multiViewCount}
1019 set enables recording a render pass that uses multiview rendering. In addition,
1020 any QRhiGraphicsPipeline used in that render pass must have
1021 \l{QRhiGraphicsPipeline::setMultiViewCount()}{the same view count set}. Note that
1022 multiview is only available in combination with 2D texture arrays. It cannot
1023 be used to optimize the rendering into individual textures (e.g. two, for
1024 the left and right eyes). Rather, the target of a multiview render pass is
1025 always a texture array, automatically rendering to the layer (array element)
1026 corresponding to each view. Therefore this feature implies \l TextureArrays
1027 as well. Multiview rendering is not supported in combination with
1028 tessellation or geometry shaders. See QRhiColorAttachment::setMultiViewCount()
1029 for further details on multiview rendering. This enum value has been introduced in Qt 6.7.
1030
1031 \value TextureViewFormat Indicates that setting a
1032 \l{QRhiTexture::setWriteViewFormat()}{view format} on a QRhiTexture is
1033 effective. When reported as supported, setting the read (sampling) or write
1034 (render target / image load-store) view mode changes the texture's viewing
1035 format. When unsupported, setting a view format has no effect. Note that Qt
1036 has no knowledge or control over format compatibility or resource view rules
1037 in the underlying 3D API and its implementation. Passing in unsuitable,
1038 incompatible formats may lead to errors and unspecified behavior. This is
1039 provided mainly to allow "casting" rendering into a texture created with an
1040 sRGB format to non-sRGB to avoid the unwanted linear->sRGB conversion on
1041 shader writes. Other types of casting may or may not be functional,
1042 depending on the underlying API. Currently implemented for Vulkan and Direct
1043 3D 12. With D3D12 the feature is available only if
1044 \c CastingFullyTypedFormatSupported is supported, see
1045 \l{https://microsoft.github.io/DirectX-Specs/d3d/RelaxedCasting.html} (and
1046 note that QRhi always uses fully typed formats for textures.) This enum
1047 value has been introduced in Qt 6.8.
1048
1049 \value ResolveDepthStencil Indicates that resolving a multisample depth or
1050 depth-stencil texture is supported. Otherwise,
1051 \l{QRhiTextureRenderTargetDescription::setDepthResolveTexture()}{setting a
1052 depth resolve texture} is not functional and must be avoided. Direct 3D 11
1053 and 12 have no support for resolving depth/depth-stencil formats, and
1054 therefore this feature will never be supported with those. Vulkan 1.0 has no
1055 API to request resolving a depth-stencil attachment. Therefore, with Vulkan
1056 this feature will only be supported with Vulkan 1.2 and up, and on 1.1
1057 implementations with the appropriate extensions present. This feature is
1058 provided for the rare case when resolving into a non-multisample depth
1059 texture becomes necessary, for example when rendering into an
1060 OpenXR-provided depth texture (XR_KHR_composition_layer_depth). This enum
1061 value has been introduced in Qt 6.8.
1062
1063 \value VariableRateShading Indicates that per-draw (per-pipeline) variable
1064 rate shading is supported. When reported as supported, \l
1065 QRhiCommandBuffer::setShadingRate() is functional and has an effect for
1066 QRhiGraphicsPipeline objects that declared \l
1067 QRhiGraphicsPipeline::UsesShadingRate in their flags. Call \l
1068 QRhi::supportedShadingRates() to check which rates are supported. (1x1 is
1069 always supported, other typical values are 2x2, 1x2, 2x1, 2x4, 4x2, 4x4).
1070 This feature can be expected to be supported with Direct 3D 12 and Vulkan,
1071 assuming the implementation and GPU used at run time supports VRS. This enum
1072 value has been introduced in Qt 6.9.
1073
1074 \value VariableRateShadingMap Indicates that image-based specification of
1075 the shading rate is possible. The "image" is not necessarily a texture, it
1076 may be a native 3D API object, depending on the underlying backend and
1077 graphics API at run time. In practice this feature can be expected to be
1078 supported with Direct 3D 12, Vulkan, and Metal, assuming the GPU is modern
1079 enough to support VRS. To check if D3D12/Vulkan-style image-based VRS is
1080 suspported, use VariableRateShadingMapWithTexture instead. When this feature
1081 is reported as supported, there are two possibilities: when
1082 VariableRateShadingMapWithTexture is also true, then QRhiShadingRateMap
1083 consumes QRhiTexture objects via the createFrom() overload taking a
1084 QRhiTexture argument. When VariableRateShadingMapWithTexture is false, then
1085 QRhiShadingRateMap consumes some other type of native objects, for example
1086 an MTLRasterizationRateMap in case of Metal. Use the createFrom() overload
1087 taking a NativeShadingRateMap in this case. This enum value has been
1088 introduced in Qt 6.9.
1089
1090 \value VariableRateShadingMapWithTexture Indicates that image-based
1091 specification of the shading rate is supported via regular textures. In
1092 practice this may be supported with Direct 3D 12 and Vulkan. This enum value
1093 has been introduced in Qt 6.9.
1094
1095 \value PerRenderTargetBlending Indicates that per rendertarget blending is
1096 supported i.e. different render targets in MRT framebuffer can have different
1097 blending modes. In practice this can be expected to be supported everywhere
1098 except OpenGL ES, where it is only available with GLES 3.2 implementations.
1099 This enum value has been introduced in Qt 6.9.
1100
1101 \value SampleVariables Indicates that gl_SampleID, gl_SamplePosition,
1102 gl_SampleMaskIn and gl_SampleMask variables are available in fragment shaders.
1103 In practice this can be expected to be supported everywhere except OpenGL ES,
1104 where it is only available with GLES 3.2 implementations.
1105 This enum value has been introduced in Qt 6.9.
1106
1107 \value InstanceIndexIncludesBaseInstance Indicates that \c gl_InstanceIndex
1108 includes the base instance (the \c firstInstance argument in draw calls) in
1109 its value. When this feature is unsupported, but BaseInstance is, it
1110 indicates that \c gl_InstanceIndex always starts at 0, not the base value.
1111 In practice this will be the case for Direct 3D 11 and 12 at the moment.
1112 With Vulkan and Metal this feature is expected to be reported as supported
1113 always. This enum value has been introduced in Qt 6.11.

1131 */
1132
1133/*!
1134 \enum QRhi::ResourceLimit
1135 Describes the resource limit to query.
1136
1137 \value TextureSizeMin Minimum texture width and height. This is typically
1138 1. The minimum texture size is handled gracefully, meaning attempting to
1139 create a texture with an empty size will instead create a texture with the
1140 minimum size.
1141
1142 \value TextureSizeMax Maximum texture width and height. This depends on the
1143 graphics API and sometimes the platform or implementation as well.
1144 Typically the value is in the range 4096 - 16384. Attempting to create
1145 textures larger than this is expected to fail.
1146
1147 \value MaxColorAttachments The maximum number of color attachments for a
1148 QRhiTextureRenderTarget, in case multiple render targets are supported. When
1149 MRT is not supported, the value is 1. Otherwise this is typically 8, but
1150 watch out for the fact that OpenGL only mandates 4 as the minimum, and that
1151 is what some OpenGL ES implementations provide.
1152
1153 \value FramesInFlight The number of frames the backend may keep "in
1154 flight": with backends like Vulkan or Metal, it is the responsibility of
1155 QRhi to block whenever starting a new frame and finding the CPU is already
1156 \c{N - 1} frames ahead of the GPU (because the command buffer submitted in
1157 frame no. \c{current} - \c{N} has not yet completed). The value N is what
1158 is returned from here, and is typically 2. This can be relevant to
1159 applications that integrate rendering done directly with the graphics API,
1160 as such rendering code may want to perform double (if the value is 2)
1161 buffering for resources, such as, buffers, similarly to the QRhi backends
1162 themselves. The current frame slot index (a value running 0, 1, .., N-1,
1163 then wrapping around) is retrievable from QRhi::currentFrameSlot(). The
1164 value is 1 for backends where the graphics API offers no such low level
1165 control over the command submission process. Note that pipelining may still
1166 happen even when this value is 1 (some backends, such as D3D11, are
1167 designed to attempt to enable this, for instance, by using an update
1168 strategy for uniform buffers that does not stall the pipeline), but that is
1169 then not controlled by QRhi and so not reflected here in the API.
1170
1171 \value MaxAsyncReadbackFrames The number of \l{QRhi::endFrame()}{submitted}
1172 frames (including the one that contains the readback) after which an
1173 asynchronous texture or buffer readback is guaranteed to complete upon
1174 \l{QRhi::beginFrame()}{starting a new frame}.
1175
1176 \value MaxThreadGroupsPerDimension The maximum number of compute
1177 work/thread groups that can be dispatched. Effectively the maximum value
1178 for the arguments of QRhiCommandBuffer::dispatch(). Typically 65535.
1179
1180 \value MaxThreadsPerThreadGroup The maximum number of invocations in a
1181 single local work group, or in other terminology, the maximum number of
1182 threads in a thread group. Effectively the maximum value for the product of
1183 \c local_size_x, \c local_size_y, and \c local_size_z in the compute
1184 shader. Typical values are 128, 256, 512, 1024, or 1536. Watch out that
1185 both OpenGL ES and Vulkan specify only 128 as the minimum required limit
1186 for implementations. While uncommon for Vulkan, some OpenGL ES 3.1
1187 implementations for mobile/embedded devices only support the spec-mandated
1188 minimum value.
1189
1190 \value MaxThreadGroupX The maximum size of a work/thread group in the X
1191 dimension. Effectively the maximum value of \c local_size_x in the compute
1192 shader. Typically 256 or 1024.
1193
1194 \value MaxThreadGroupY The maximum size of a work/thread group in the Y
1195 dimension. Effectively the maximum value of \c local_size_y in the compute
1196 shader. Typically 256 or 1024.
1197
1198 \value MaxThreadGroupZ The maximum size of a work/thread group in the Z
1199 dimension. Effectively the maximum value of \c local_size_z in the compute
1200 shader. Typically 64 or 256.
1201
1202 \value TextureArraySizeMax Maximum texture array size. Typically in range
1203 256 - 2048. Attempting to \l{QRhi::newTextureArray()}{create a texture
1204 array} with more elements will likely fail.
1205
1206 \value MaxUniformBufferRange The number of bytes that can be exposed from a
1207 uniform buffer to the shaders at once. On OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.0
1208 implementations this may be as low as 3584 bytes (224 four component, 32
1209 bits per component vectors). Elsewhere the value is typically 16384 (1024
1210 vec4s) or 65536 (4096 vec4s).
1211
1212 \value MaxVertexInputs The number of input attributes to the vertex shader.
1213 The location in a QRhiVertexInputAttribute must be in range \c{[0,
1214 MaxVertexInputs-1]}. The value may be as low as 8 with OpenGL ES 2.0.
1215 Elsewhere, typical values are 16, 31, or 32.
1216
1217 \value MaxVertexOutputs The maximum number of outputs (4 component vector
1218 \c out variables) from the vertex shader. The value may be as low as 8 with
1219 OpenGL ES 2.0, and 15 with OpenGL ES 3.0 and some Metal devices. Elsewhere,
1220 a typical value is 32.
1221
1222 \value ShadingRateImageTileSize The tile size for shading rate textures. 0
1223 if the QRhi::VariableRateShadingMapWithTexture feature is not supported.
1224 Otherwise a value such as 16, indicating, for example, a tile size of 16x16.
1225 Each byte in the (R8UI) shading rate texture defines then the shading rate
1226 for a tile of 16x16 pixels. See \l QRhiShadingRateMap for details.

1453 Used with QRhiCommandBuffer::setScissor(). Setting a scissor rectangle is
1454 only possible with a QRhiGraphicsPipeline that has
1455 QRhiGraphicsPipeline::UsesScissor set.
1456
1457 QRhi assumes OpenGL-style scissor coordinates, meaning x and y are
1458 bottom-left. Negative width or height are not allowed. However, apart from
1459 that, the flexible OpenGL semantics apply: negative x and y, partially out
1460 of bounds rectangles, etc. will be handled gracefully, clamping as
1461 appropriate. Therefore, any rendering logic targeting OpenGL can feed
1462 scissor rectangles into QRhiScissor as-is, without any adaptation.

1541 \since 6.6
1542 \brief Describes a vertex input binding.
1543
1544 Specifies the stride (in bytes, must be a multiple of 4), the
1545 classification and optionally the instance step rate.
1546
1547 As an example, assume a vertex shader with the following inputs:
1548
1549 \badcode
1550 layout(location = 0) in vec4 position;
1551 layout(location = 1) in vec2 texcoord;
1552 \endcode
1553
1554 Now let's assume also that 3 component vertex positions \c{(x, y, z)} and 2
1555 component texture coordinates \c{(u, v)} are provided in a non-interleaved
1556 format in a buffer (or separate buffers even). Defining two bindings
1557 could then be done like this:
1558
1559 \code
1560 QRhiVertexInputLayout inputLayout;
1561 inputLayout.setBindings({
1562 { 3 * sizeof(float) },
1563 { 2 * sizeof(float) }
1564 });
1565 \endcode
1566
1567 Only the stride is interesting here since instancing is not used. The
1568 binding number is given by the index of the QRhiVertexInputBinding
1569 element in the bindings vector of the QRhiVertexInputLayout.
1570
1571 Once a graphics pipeline with this vertex input layout is bound, the vertex
1572 inputs could be set up like the following for drawing a cube with 36
1573 vertices, assuming we have a single buffer with first the positions and
1574 then the texture coordinates:
1575
1576 \code
1577 const QRhiCommandBuffer::VertexInput vbufBindings[] = {
1578 { cubeBuf, 0 },
1579 { cubeBuf, 36 * 3 * sizeof(float) }
1580 };
1581 cb->setVertexInput(0, 2, vbufBindings);
1582 \endcode
1583
1584 Note how the index defined by \c {startBinding + i}, where \c i is the
1585 index in the second argument of
1586 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::setVertexInput()}{setVertexInput()}, matches the
1587 index of the corresponding entry in the \c bindings vector of the
1588 QRhiVertexInputLayout.
1589
1590 \note the stride must always be a multiple of 4.

1691 \since 6.6
1692 \brief Describes a single vertex input element.
1693
1694 The members specify the binding number, location, format, and offset for a
1695 single vertex input element.
1696
1697 \note For HLSL it is assumed that the vertex shader translated from SPIR-V
1698 uses
1699 \c{TEXCOORD<location>} as the semantic for each input. Hence no separate
1700 semantic name and index.
1701
1702 As an example, assume a vertex shader with the following inputs:
1703
1704 \badcode
1705 layout(location = 0) in vec4 position;
1706 layout(location = 1) in vec2 texcoord;
1707 \endcode
1708
1709 Now let's assume that we have 3 component vertex positions \c{(x, y, z)}
1710 and 2 component texture coordinates \c{(u, v)} are provided in a
1711 non-interleaved format in a buffer (or separate buffers even). Once two
1712 bindings are defined, the attributes could be specified as:
1713
1714 \code
1715 QRhiVertexInputLayout inputLayout;
1716 inputLayout.setBindings({
1717 { 3 * sizeof(float) },
1718 { 2 * sizeof(float) }
1719 });
1720 inputLayout.setAttributes({
1721 { 0, 0, QRhiVertexInputAttribute::Float3, 0 },
1722 { 1, 1, QRhiVertexInputAttribute::Float2, 0 }
1723 });
1724 \endcode
1725
1726 Once a graphics pipeline with this vertex input layout is bound, the vertex
1727 inputs could be set up like the following for drawing a cube with 36
1728 vertices, assuming we have a single buffer with first the positions and
1729 then the texture coordinates:
1730
1731 \code
1732 const QRhiCommandBuffer::VertexInput vbufBindings[] = {
1733 { cubeBuf, 0 },
1734 { cubeBuf, 36 * 3 * sizeof(float) }
1735 };
1736 cb->setVertexInput(0, 2, vbufBindings);
1737 \endcode
1738
1739 When working with interleaved data, there will typically be just one
1740 binding, with multiple attributes referring to that same buffer binding
1741 point:
1742
1743 \code
1744 QRhiVertexInputLayout inputLayout;
1745 inputLayout.setBindings({
1746 { 5 * sizeof(float) }
1747 });
1748 inputLayout.setAttributes({
1749 { 0, 0, QRhiVertexInputAttribute::Float3, 0 },
1750 { 0, 1, QRhiVertexInputAttribute::Float2, 3 * sizeof(float) }
1751 });
1752 \endcode
1753
1754 and then:
1755
1756 \code
1757 const QRhiCommandBuffer::VertexInput vbufBinding(interleavedCubeBuf, 0);
1758 cb->setVertexInput(0, 1, &vbufBinding);
1759 \endcode

2173
2174 When setting up a QRhiGraphicsPipeline, a collection of shader stages are
2175 specified. The QRhiShaderStage contains a QShader and some associated
2176 metadata, such as the graphics pipeline stage, and the

2317 \since 6.6
2318 \brief Describes the a single color attachment of a render target.
2319
2320 A color attachment is either a QRhiTexture or a QRhiRenderBuffer. The
2321 former, i.e. when texture() is set, is used in most cases.
2322 QRhiColorAttachment is commonly used in combination with
2323 QRhiTextureRenderTargetDescription.
2324
2325 \note texture() and renderBuffer() cannot be both set (be non-null at the
2326 same time).
2327
2328 Setting renderBuffer instead is recommended only when multisampling is
2329 needed. Relying on QRhi::MultisampleRenderBuffer is a better choice than
2330 QRhi::MultisampleTexture in practice since the former is available in more
2331 run time configurations (e.g. when running on OpenGL ES 3.0 which has no
2332 support for multisample textures, but does support multisample
2333 renderbuffers).
2334
2335 When targeting a non-multisample texture, the layer() and level() indicate
2336 the targeted layer (face index \c{0-5} for cubemaps) and mip level. For 3D
2337 textures layer() specifies the slice (one 2D image within the 3D texture)
2338 to render to. For texture arrays layer() is the array index.
2339
2340 When texture() or renderBuffer() is multisample, resolveTexture() can be
2341 set optionally. When set, samples are resolved automatically into that
2342 (non-multisample) texture at the end of the render pass. When rendering
2343 into a multisample renderbuffers, this is the only way to get resolved,
2344 non-multisample content out of them. Multisample textures allow sampling in
2345 shaders so for them this is just one option.
2346
2347 \note when resolving is enabled, the multisample data may not be written
2348 out at all. This means that the multisample texture() must not be used
2349 afterwards with shaders for sampling when resolveTexture() is set.

2453
2454 Sets the resolve texture \a tex.
2455
2456 \a tex is expected to be a 2D texture or a 2D texture array. In either
2457 case, resolving targets a single mip level of a single layer (array
2458 element) of \a tex. The mip level and array layer are specified by
2459 resolveLevel() and resolveLayer().
2460
2461 An exception is \l{setMultiViewCount()}{multiview}: when the color
2462 attachment is associated with a texture array and multiview is enabled, the
2463 resolve texture must also be a texture array with sufficient elements for
2464 all views. In this case all elements that correspond to views are resolved
2465 automatically; the behavior is similar to the following pseudo-code:
2466 \badcode
2467 for (i = 0; i < multiViewCount(); ++i)
2468 resolve texture's layer() + i into resolveTexture's resolveLayer() + i
2469 \endcode
2470
2471 Setting a non-multisample texture to resolve a multisample texture or
2472 renderbuffer automatically at the end of the render pass is often
2473 preferable to working with multisample textures (and not setting a resolve
2474 texture), because it avoids the need for writing dedicated fragment shaders
2475 that work exclusively with multisample textures (\c sampler2DMS, \c
2476 texelFetch, etc.), and rather allows using the same shader as one would if
2477 the attachment's texture was not multisampled to begin with. This comes at
2478 the expense of an additional resource (the non-multisample \a tex).

2516 rendering. The default value is 0. Values smaller than 2 indicate no
2517 multiview rendering.
2518
2519 When \a count is set to \c 2 or greater, the color attachment must be
2520 associated with a 2D texture array. layer() and multiViewCount() together
2521 define the range of texture array elements that are targeted during
2522 multiview rendering.
2523
2524 For example, if \c layer is \c 0 and \c multiViewCount is \c 2, the texture
2525 array must have 2 (or more) elements, and the multiview rendering will
2526 target elements 0 and 1. The \c{gl_ViewIndex} variable in the shaders has a
2527 value of \c 0 or \c 1 then, where view \c 0 corresponds to the texture array
2528 element \c 0, and view \c 1 to the array element \c 1.
2529
2530 \note Setting a \a count larger than 1, using a texture array as texture(),
2531 and calling \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::beginPass()}{beginPass()} on a
2532 QRhiTextureRenderTarget with this color attachment implies multiview
2533 rendering for the entire render pass. multiViewCount() should not be set
2534 unless multiview rendering is wanted. Multiview cannot be used with texture
2535 types other than 2D texture arrays. (although 3D textures may work,
2536 depending on the graphics API and backend; applications are nonetheless
2537 advised not to rely on that and only use 2D texture arrays as the render
2538 targets of multiview rendering)

2547 \l{QRhi::MultiView}{MultiView} feature is reported as supported from
2548 \l{QRhi::isFeatureSupported()}{isFeatureSupported()}.
2549
2550 \note For portability, be aware of limitations that exist for multiview
2551 rendering with some of the graphics APIs. It is recommended that multiview
2552 render passes do not rely on any of the features that
2553 \l{https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL/extensions/OVR/OVR_multiview.txt}{GL_OVR_multiview}
2554 declares as unsupported. The one exception is shader stage outputs other
2555 than \c{gl_Position} depending on \c{gl_ViewIndex}: that can be relied on
2556 (even with OpenGL) because QRhi never reports multiview as supported without
2557 \c{GL_OVR_multiview2} also being present.
2558
2559 \note Multiview rendering is not supported in combination with tessellation
2560 or geometry shaders, even though some implementations of some graphics APIs
2561 may allow this.

2570 \since 6.6
2571 \brief Describes the color and depth or depth/stencil attachments of a render target.
2572
2573 A texture render target has zero or more textures as color attachments,
2574 zero or one renderbuffer as combined depth/stencil buffer or zero or one
2575 texture as depth buffer.
2576
2577 \note depthStencilBuffer() and depthTexture() cannot be both set (cannot be
2578 non-null at the same time).
2579
2580 Let's look at some example usages in combination with
2581 QRhiTextureRenderTarget.
2582
2583 Due to the constructors, the targeting a texture (and no depth/stencil
2584 buffer) is simple:
2585
2586 \code
2587 QRhiTexture *texture = rhi->newTexture(QRhiTexture::RGBA8, QSize(256, 256), 1, QRhiTexture::RenderTarget);
2588 texture->create();
2589 QRhiTextureRenderTarget *rt = rhi->newTextureRenderTarget({ texture }));
2590 \endcode
2591
2592 The following creates a texture render target that is set up to target mip
2593 level #2 of a texture:
2594
2595 \code
2596 QRhiTexture *texture = rhi->newTexture(QRhiTexture::RGBA8, QSize(512, 512), 1, QRhiTexture::RenderTarget | QRhiTexture::MipMapped);
2597 texture->create();
2598 QRhiColorAttachment colorAtt(texture);
2599 colorAtt.setLevel(2);
2600 QRhiTextureRenderTarget *rt = rhi->newTextureRenderTarget({ colorAtt });
2601 \endcode
2602
2603 Another example, this time to render into a depth texture:
2604
2605 \code
2606 QRhiTexture *shadowMap = rhi->newTexture(QRhiTexture::D32F, QSize(1024, 1024), 1, QRhiTexture::RenderTarget);
2607 shadowMap->create();
2608 QRhiTextureRenderTargetDescription rtDesc;
2609 rtDesc.setDepthTexture(shadowMap);
2610 QRhiTextureRenderTarget *rt = rhi->newTextureRenderTarget(rtDesc);
2611 \endcode
2612
2613 A very common case, having a texture as the color attachment and a
2614 renderbuffer as depth/stencil to enable depth testing:
2615
2616 \code
2617 QRhiTexture *texture = rhi->newTexture(QRhiTexture::RGBA8, QSize(512, 512), 1, QRhiTexture::RenderTarget);
2618 texture->create();
2619 QRhiRenderBuffer *depthStencil = rhi->newRenderBuffer(QRhiRenderBuffer::DepthStencil, QSize(512, 512));
2620 depthStencil->create();
2621 QRhiTextureRenderTargetDescription rtDesc({ texture }, depthStencil);
2622 QRhiTextureRenderTarget *rt = rhi->newTextureRenderTarget(rtDesc);
2623 \endcode
2624
2625 Finally, to enable multisample rendering in a portable manner (so also
2626 supporting OpenGL ES 3.0), using a QRhiRenderBuffer as the (multisample)
2627 color buffer and then resolving into a regular (non-multisample) 2D
2628 texture. To enable depth testing, a depth-stencil buffer, which also must
2629 use the same sample count, is used as well:
2630
2631 \code
2632 QRhiRenderBuffer *colorBuffer = rhi->newRenderBuffer(QRhiRenderBuffer::Color, QSize(512, 512), 4); // 4x MSAA
2633 colorBuffer->create();
2634 QRhiRenderBuffer *depthStencil = rhi->newRenderBuffer(QRhiRenderBuffer::DepthStencil, QSize(512, 512), 4);
2635 depthStencil->create();
2636 QRhiTexture *texture = rhi->newTexture(QRhiTexture::RGBA8, QSize(512, 512), 1, QRhiTexture::RenderTarget);
2637 texture->create();
2638 QRhiColorAttachment colorAtt(colorBuffer);
2639 colorAtt.setResolveTexture(texture);
2640 QRhiTextureRenderTarget *rt = rhi->newTextureRenderTarget({ colorAtt, depthStencil });
2641 \endcode
2642
2643 \note when multisample resolving is enabled, the multisample data may not be
2644 written out at all. This means that the multisample texture in a color
2645 attachment must not be used afterwards with shaders for sampling (or other
2646 purposes) whenever a resolve texture is set, since the multisample color
2647 buffer is merely an intermediate storage then that gets no data written back
2648 on some GPU architectures at all. See
2649 \l{QRhiTextureRenderTarget::Flag}{PreserveColorContents} for more details.
2650
2651 \note When using setDepthTexture(), not setDepthStencilBuffer(), and the
2652 depth (stencil) data is not of interest afterwards, set the
2653 DoNotStoreDepthStencilContents flag on the QRhiTextureRenderTarget. This
2654 allows indicating to the underlying 3D API that the depth/stencil data can
2655 be discarded, leading potentially to better performance with tiled GPU
2656 architectures. When the depth-stencil buffer is a QRhiRenderBuffer (and also
2657 for the multisample color texture, see previous note) this is implicit, but
2658 with a depth (stencil) QRhiTexture the intention needs to be declared
2659 explicitly. By default QRhi assumes that the data is of interest (e.g., the
2660 depth texture is sampled in a shader afterwards).
2661
2662 \note This is a RHI API with limited compatibility guarantees, see \l QRhi
2663 for details.

2843 \note When the render target had already been built (create() was called

2861 \since 6.6
2862 \brief Describes the source for one mip level in a layer in a texture upload operation.
2863
2864 The source content is specified either as a QImage or as a raw blob. The
2865 former is only allowed for uncompressed textures with a format that can be
2866 mapped to QImage, while the latter is supported for all formats, including
2867 floating point and compressed.
2868
2869 \note image() and data() cannot be both set at the same time.
2870
2871 destinationTopLeft() specifies the top-left corner of the target
2872 rectangle. Defaults to (0, 0).
2873
2874 An empty sourceSize() (the default) indicates that size is assumed to be
2875 the size of the subresource. With QImage-based uploads this implies that
2876 the size of the source image() must match the subresource. When providing
2877 raw data instead, sufficient number of bytes must be provided in data().
2878
2879 sourceTopLeft() is supported only for QImage-based uploads, and specifies
2880 the top-left corner of the source rectangle.
2881
2882 \note Setting sourceSize() or sourceTopLeft() may trigger a QImage copy
2883 internally, depending on the format and the backend.
2884
2885 When providing raw data, and the stride is not specified via
2886 setDataStride(), the stride (row pitch, row length in bytes) of the
2887 provided data must be equal to \c{width * pixelSize} where \c pixelSize is
2888 the number of bytes used for one pixel, and there must be no additional
2889 padding between rows. There is no row start alignment requirement.
2890
2891 When there is unused data at the end of each row in the input raw data,
2892 call setDataStride() with the total number of bytes per row. The stride
2893 must always be a multiple of the number of bytes for one pixel. The row
2894 stride is only applicable to image data for textures with an uncompressed
2895 format.
2896
2897 \note The format of the source data must be compatible with the texture
2898 format. With many graphics APIs the data is copied as-is into a staging
2899 buffer, there is no intermediate format conversion provided by QRhi. This
2900 applies to floating point formats as well, with, for example, RGBA16F
2901 requiring half floats in the source data.
2902
2903 \note Setting the stride via setDataStride() is only functional when
2904 QRhi::ImageDataStride is reported as
2905 \l{QRhi::isFeatureSupported()}{supported}. In practice this can be expected
2906 to be supported everywhere except for OpenGL ES 2.0.
2907
2908 \note When a QImage is given, the stride returned from
2909 QImage::bytesPerLine() is taken into account automatically.
2910
2911 \warning When a QImage is given and the QImage does not own the underlying
2912 pixel data, it is up to the caller to ensure that the associated data stays
2913 valid until the end of the frame. (just submitting the resource update batch
2914 is not sufficient, the data must stay valid until QRhi::endFrame() is called
2915 in order to be portable across all backends) If this cannot be ensured, the
2916 caller is strongly encouraged to call QImage::detach() on the image before
2917 passing it to uploadTexture().

3136 \since 6.6
3137 \brief Describes a texture upload operation.
3138
3139 Used with QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::uploadTexture(). That function has two
3140 variants: one taking a QImage and one taking a
3141 QRhiTextureUploadDescription. The former is a convenience version,
3142 internally creating a QRhiTextureUploadDescription with a single image
3143 targeting level 0 for layer 0.
3144
3145 An example of the the common, simple case of wanting to upload the contents
3146 of a QImage to a QRhiTexture with a matching pixel size:
3147
3148 \code
3149 QImage image(256, 256, QImage::Format_RGBA8888);
3150 image.fill(Qt::green); // or could use a QPainter targeting image
3151 QRhiTexture *texture = rhi->newTexture(QRhiTexture::RGBA8, QSize(256, 256));
3152 texture->create();
3153 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch *u = rhi->nextResourceUpdateBatch();
3154 u->uploadTexture(texture, image);
3155 \endcode
3156
3157 When cubemaps, pre-generated mip images, compressed textures, or partial
3158 uploads are involved, applications will have to use this class instead.
3159
3160 QRhiTextureUploadDescription also enables specifying batched uploads, which
3161 are useful for example when generating an atlas or glyph cache texture:
3162 multiple, partial uploads for the same subresource (meaning the same layer
3163 and level) are supported, and can be, depending on the backend and the
3164 underlying graphics API, more efficient when batched into the same
3165 QRhiTextureUploadDescription as opposed to issuing individual
3166 \l{QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::uploadTexture()}{uploadTexture()} commands for
3167 each of them.
3168
3169 \note Cubemaps have one layer for each of the six faces in the order +X,
3170 -X, +Y, -Y, +Z, -Z.
3171
3172 For example, specifying the faces of a cubemap could look like the following:
3173
3174 \code
3175 QImage faces[6];
3176 // ...
3177 QVarLengthArray<QRhiTextureUploadEntry, 6> entries;
3178 for (int i = 0; i < 6; ++i)
3179 entries.append(QRhiTextureUploadEntry(i, 0, faces[i]));
3180 QRhiTextureUploadDescription desc;
3181 desc.setEntries(entries.cbegin(), entries.cend());
3182 resourceUpdates->uploadTexture(texture, desc);
3183 \endcode
3184
3185 Another example that specifies mip images for a compressed texture:
3186
3187 \code
3188 QList<QRhiTextureUploadEntry> entries;
3189 const int mipCount = rhi->mipLevelsForSize(compressedTexture->pixelSize());
3190 for (int level = 0; level < mipCount; ++level) {
3191 const QByteArray compressedDataForLevel = ..
3192 entries.append(QRhiTextureUploadEntry(0, level, compressedDataForLevel));
3193 }
3194 QRhiTextureUploadDescription desc;
3195 desc.setEntries(entries.cbegin(), entries.cend());
3196 resourceUpdates->uploadTexture(compressedTexture, desc);
3197 \endcode
3198
3199 With partial uploads targeting the same subresource, it is recommended to
3200 batch them into a single upload request, whenever possible:
3201
3202 \code
3203 QRhiTextureSubresourceUploadDescription subresDesc(image);
3204 subresDesc.setSourceSize(QSize(10, 10));
3205 subResDesc.setDestinationTopLeft(QPoint(50, 40));
3206 QRhiTextureUploadEntry entry(0, 0, subresDesc); // layer 0, level 0
3207
3208 QRhiTextureSubresourceUploadDescription subresDesc2(image);
3209 subresDesc2.setSourceSize(QSize(30, 40));
3210 subResDesc2.setDestinationTopLeft(QPoint(100, 200));
3211 QRhiTextureUploadEntry entry2(0, 0, subresDesc2); // layer 0, level 0, i.e. same subresource
3212
3213 QRhiTextureUploadDescription desc({ entry, entry2});
3214 resourceUpdates->uploadTexture(texture, desc);
3215 \endcode

3653 frame being recorded.
3654
3655 If the QRhi that created this object is already destroyed, the object is
3656 deleted immediately.
3657
3658 Using deleteLater() can be a useful convenience in many cases, and it
3659 complements the low-level guarantee (that the underlying native graphics
3660 objects are never destroyed until it is safe to do so and it is known for
3661 sure that they are not used by the GPU in an still in-flight frame), by
3662 offering a way to make sure the C++ object instances (of QRhiBuffer,
3663 QRhiTexture, etc.) themselves also stay valid until the end of the current
3664 frame.
3665
3666 The following example shows a convenient way of creating a throwaway buffer
3667 that is only used in one frame and gets automatically released in
3668 endFrame(). (when it comes to the underlying native buffer(s), the usual
3669 guarantee applies: the QRhi backend defers the releasing of those until it
3670 is guaranteed that the frame in which the buffer is accessed by the GPU has
3671 completed)

3753 \brief Vertex, index, or uniform (constant) buffer resource.
3754
3755 \note This is a RHI API with limited compatibility guarantees, see \l QRhi
3756 for details.
3757
3758 A QRhiBuffer encapsulates zero, one, or more native buffer objects (such as
3759 a \c VkBuffer or \c MTLBuffer). With some graphics APIs and backends
3760 certain types of buffers may not use a native buffer object at all (e.g.
3761 OpenGL if uniform buffer objects are not used), but this is transparent to
3762 the user of the QRhiBuffer API. Similarly, the fact that some types of
3763 buffers may use two or three native buffers underneath, in order to allow
3764 efficient per-frame content update without stalling the GPU pipeline, is
3765 mostly invisible to the applications and libraries.
3766
3767 A QRhiBuffer instance is always created by calling
3768 \l{QRhi::newBuffer()}{the QRhi's newBuffer() function}. This creates no
3769 native graphics resources. To do that, call create() after setting the
3770 appropriate options, such as the type, usage flags, size, although in most cases these
3771 are already set based on the arguments passed to
3772 \l{QRhi::newBuffer()}{newBuffer()}.
3773
3774 \section2 Example usage
3775
3776 To create a uniform buffer for a shader where the GLSL uniform block
3777 contains a single \c mat4 member, and update the contents:
3778
3779 \code
3780 QRhiBuffer *ubuf = rhi->newBuffer(QRhiBuffer::Dynamic, QRhiBuffer::UniformBuffer, 64);
3781 if (!ubuf->create()) { error(); }
3782 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch *batch = rhi->nextResourceUpdateBatch();
3783 QMatrix4x4 mvp;
3784 // ... set up the modelview-projection matrix
3785 batch->updateDynamicBuffer(ubuf, 0, 64, mvp.constData());
3786 // ...
3787 commandBuffer->resourceUpdate(batch); // or, alternatively, pass 'batch' to a beginPass() call
3788 \endcode
3789
3790 An example of creating a buffer with vertex data:
3791
3792 \code
3793 const float vertices[] = { -1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f };
3794 QRhiBuffer *vbuf = rhi->newBuffer(QRhiBuffer::Immutable, QRhiBuffer::VertexBuffer, sizeof(vertices));
3795 if (!vbuf->create()) { error(); }
3796 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch *batch = rhi->nextResourceUpdateBatch();
3797 batch->uploadStaticBuffer(vbuf, vertices);
3798 // ...
3799 commandBuffer->resourceUpdate(batch); // or, alternatively, pass 'batch' to a beginPass() call
3800 \endcode
3801
3802 An index buffer:
3803
3804 \code
3805 static const quint16 indices[] = { 0, 1, 2 };
3806 QRhiBuffer *ibuf = rhi->newBuffer(QRhiBuffer::Immutable, QRhiBuffer::IndexBuffer, sizeof(indices));
3807 if (!ibuf->create()) { error(); }
3808 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch *batch = rhi->nextResourceUpdateBatch();
3809 batch->uploadStaticBuffer(ibuf, indices);
3810 // ...
3811 commandBuffer->resourceUpdate(batch); // or, alternatively, pass 'batch' to a beginPass() call
3812 \endcode
3813
3814 \section2 Common patterns
3815
3816 A call to create() destroys any existing native resources if create() was
3817 successfully called before. If those native resources are still in use by
3818 an in-flight frame (i.e., there's a chance they are still read by the GPU),
3819 the destroying of those resources is deferred automatically. Thus a very
3820 common and convenient pattern to safely increase the size of an already
3821 initialized buffer is the following. In practice this drops and creates a
3822 whole new set of native resources underneath, so it is not necessarily a
3823 cheap operation, but is more convenient and still faster than the
3824 alternatives, because by not destroying the \c buf object itself, all
3825 references to it stay valid in other data structures (e.g., in any
3826 QRhiShaderResourceBinding the QRhiBuffer is referenced from).
3827
3828 \code
3829 if (buf->size() < newSize) {
3830 buf->setSize(newSize);
3831 if (!buf->create()) { error(); }
3832 }
3833 // continue using buf, fill it with new data
3834 \endcode
3835
3836 When working with uniform buffers, it will sometimes be necessary to
3837 combine data for multiple draw calls into a single buffer for efficiency
3838 reasons. Be aware of the aligment requirements: with some graphics APIs
3839 offsets for a uniform buffer must be aligned to 256 bytes. This applies
3840 both to QRhiShaderResourceBinding and to the dynamic offsets passed to
3841 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::setShaderResources()}{setShaderResources()}. Use the
3842 \l{QRhi::ubufAlignment()}{ubufAlignment()} and
3843 \l{QRhi::ubufAligned()}{ubufAligned()} functions to create portable code.
3844 As an example, the following is an outline for issuing multiple (\c N) draw
3845 calls with the same pipeline and geometry, but with a different data in the
3846 uniform buffers exposed at binding point 0. This assumes the buffer is
3847 exposed via
3848 \l{QRhiShaderResourceBinding::uniformBufferWithDynamicOffset()}{uniformBufferWithDynamicOffset()}
3849 which allows passing a QRhiCommandBuffer::DynamicOffset list to
3850 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::setShaderResources()}{setShaderResources()}.
3851
3852 \code
3853 const int N = 2;
3854 const int UB_SIZE = 64 + 4; // assuming a uniform block with { mat4 matrix; float opacity; }
3855 const int ONE_UBUF_SIZE = rhi->ubufAligned(UB_SIZE);
3856 const int TOTAL_UBUF_SIZE = N * ONE_UBUF_SIZE;
3857 QRhiBuffer *ubuf = rhi->newBuffer(QRhiBuffer::Dynamic, QRhiBuffer::UniformBuffer, TOTAL_UBUF_SIZE);
3858 if (!ubuf->create()) { error(); }
3859 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch *batch = rhi->nextResourceUpdateBatch();
3860 for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
3861 batch->updateDynamicBuffer(ubuf, i * ONE_UBUF_SIZE, 64, matrix.constData());
3862 batch->updateDynamicBuffer(ubuf, i * ONE_UBUF_SIZE + 64, 4, &opacity);
3863 }
3864 // ...
3865 // beginPass(), set pipeline, etc., and then:
3866 for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
3867 QRhiCommandBuffer::DynamicOffset dynOfs[] = { { 0, i * ONE_UBUF_SIZE } };
3868 cb->setShaderResources(srb, 1, dynOfs);
3869 cb->draw(36);

4145 Renderbuffers cannot be sampled or read but have some benefits over
4146 textures in some cases:
4147
4148 A \l DepthStencil renderbuffer may be lazily allocated and be backed by
4149 transient memory with some APIs. On some platforms this may mean the
4150 depth/stencil buffer uses no physical backing at all.
4151
4152 \l Color renderbuffers are useful since QRhi::MultisampleRenderBuffer may be
4153 supported even when QRhi::MultisampleTexture is not.
4154
4155 How the renderbuffer is implemented by a backend is not exposed to the

4157 others there may be a different kind of native resource used.
4158
4159 Renderbuffers that are used as (and are only used as) depth-stencil buffers
4160 in combination with a QRhiSwapChain's color buffers should have the
4161 UsedWithSwapChainOnly flag set. This serves a double purpose: such buffers,

4332 \brief Texture resource.
4333
4334 A QRhiTexture encapsulates a native texture object, such as a \c VkImage or
4335 \c MTLTexture.
4336
4337 A QRhiTexture instance is always created by calling
4338 \l{QRhi::newTexture()}{the QRhi's newTexture() function}. This creates no
4339 native graphics resources. To do that, call create() after setting the
4340 appropriate options, such as the format and size, although in most cases
4341 these are already set based on the arguments passed to
4342 \l{QRhi::newTexture()}{newTexture()}.
4343
4344 Setting the \l{QRhiTexture::Flags}{flags} correctly is essential, otherwise
4345 various errors can occur depending on the underlying QRhi backend and
4346 graphics API. For example, when a texture will be rendered into from a
4347 render pass via QRhiTextureRenderTarget, the texture must be created with
4348 the \l RenderTarget flag set. Similarly, when the texture is going to be
4349 \l{QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::readBackTexture()}{read back}, the \l
4350 UsedAsTransferSource flag must be set upfront. Mipmapped textures must have
4351 the MipMapped flag set. And so on. It is not possible to change the flags
4352 once create() has succeeded. To release the existing and create a new
4353 native texture object with the changed settings, call the setters and call
4354 create() again. This then might be a potentially expensive operation.
4355
4356 \section2 Example usage
4357
4358 To create a 2D texture with a size of 512x512 pixels and set its contents to all green:
4359
4360 \code
4361 QRhiTexture *texture = rhi->newTexture(QRhiTexture::RGBA8, QSize(512, 512));
4362 if (!texture->create()) { error(); }
4363 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch *batch = rhi->nextResourceUpdateBatch();
4364 QImage image(512, 512, QImage::Format_RGBA8888);
4365 image.fill(Qt::green);
4366 batch->uploadTexture(texture, image);
4367 // ...
4368 commandBuffer->resourceUpdate(batch); // or, alternatively, pass 'batch' to a beginPass() call
4369 \endcode
4370
4371 \section2 Common patterns
4372
4373 A call to create() destroys any existing native resources if create() was
4374 successfully called before. If those native resources are still in use by
4375 an in-flight frame (i.e., there's a chance they are still read by the GPU),
4376 the destroying of those resources is deferred automatically. Thus a very
4377 common and convenient pattern to safely change the size of an already
4378 existing texture is the following. In practice this drops and creates a
4379 whole new native texture resource underneath, so it is not necessarily a
4380 cheap operation, but is more convenient and still faster than the
4381 alternatives, because by not destroying the \c texture object itself, all
4382 references to it stay valid in other data structures (e.g., in any
4383 QShaderResourceBinding the QRhiTexture is referenced from).
4384
4385 \code
4386 // determine newSize, e.g. based on the swapchain's output size or other factors
4387 if (texture->pixelSize() != newSize) {
4388 texture->setPixelSize(newSize);
4389 if (!texture->create()) { error(); }
4390 }
4391 // continue using texture, fill it with new data
4392 \endcode

4401 \enum QRhiTexture::Flag
4402
4403 Flag values to specify how the texture is going to be used. Not honoring
4404 the flags set before create() and attempting to use the texture in ways that
4405 was not declared upfront can lead to unspecified behavior or decreased
4406 performance depending on the backend and the underlying graphics API.
4407
4408 \value RenderTarget The texture going to be used in combination with
4409 QRhiTextureRenderTarget.
4410
4411 \value CubeMap The texture is a cubemap. Such textures have 6 layers, one
4412 for each face in the order of +X, -X, +Y, -Y, +Z, -Z. Cubemap textures
4413 cannot be multisample.
4414
4415 \value MipMapped The texture has mipmaps. The appropriate mip count is
4416 calculated automatically and can also be retrieved via
4417 QRhi::mipLevelsForSize(). The images for the mip levels have to be
4418 provided in the texture uploaded or generated via
4419 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::generateMips(). Multisample textures cannot have
4420 mipmaps.
4421
4422 \value sRGB Use an sRGB format.
4423
4424 \value UsedAsTransferSource The texture is used as the source of a texture
4425 copy or readback, meaning the texture is given as the source in
4426 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::copyTexture() or
4427 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::readBackTexture().
4428
4429 \value UsedWithGenerateMips The texture is going to be used with
4430 QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::generateMips().
4431
4432 \value UsedWithLoadStore The texture is going to be used with image
4433 load/store operations, for example, in a compute shader.
4434
4435 \value UsedAsCompressedAtlas The texture has a compressed format and the
4436 dimensions of subresource uploads may not match the texture size.
4437
4438 \value ExternalOES The texture should use the GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES
4439 target with OpenGL. This flag is ignored with other graphics APIs.
4440
4441 \value ThreeDimensional The texture is a 3D texture. Such textures should
4442 be created with the QRhi::newTexture() overload taking a depth in addition
4443 to width and height. A 3D texture can have mipmaps but cannot be
4444 multisample. When rendering into, or uploading data to a 3D texture, the \c
4445 layer specified in the render target's color attachment or the upload
4446 description refers to a single slice in range [0..depth-1]. The underlying
4447 graphics API may not support 3D textures at run time. Support is indicated
4448 by the QRhi::ThreeDimensionalTextures feature.
4449
4450 \value TextureRectangleGL The texture should use the GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE
4451 target with OpenGL. This flag is ignored with other graphics APIs. Just
4452 like ExternalOES, this flag is useful when working with platform APIs where
4453 native OpenGL texture objects received from the platform are wrapped in a
4454 QRhiTexture, and the platform can only provide textures for a non-2D
4455 texture target.
4456
4457 \value TextureArray The texture is a texture array, i.e. a single texture
4458 object that is a homogeneous array of 2D textures. Texture arrays are
4459 created with QRhi::newTextureArray(). The underlying graphics API may not
4460 support texture array objects at run time. Support is indicated by the
4461 QRhi::TextureArrays feature. When rendering into, or uploading data to a
4462 texture array, the \c layer specified in the render target's color
4463 attachment or the upload description selects a single element in the array.
4464
4465 \value OneDimensional The texture is a 1D texture. Such textures can be
4466 created by passing a 0 height and depth to QRhi::newTexture(). Note that
4467 there can be limitations on one dimensional textures depending on the
4468 underlying graphics API. For example, rendering to them or using them with
4469 mipmap-based filtering may be unsupported. This is indicated by the
4470 QRhi::OneDimensionalTextures and QRhi::OneDimensionalTextureMipmaps

4859 One common use case for providing a write view format is working with

4862 already prepared to handle linearization and conversion to sRGB at the end
4863 of its shading pipeline. In this case what is wanted when rendering into
4864 such a texture is a render target view (e.g. VkImageView) that has the same,
4865 but non-sRGB format. (if e.g. from an OpenXR implementation one gets a
4866 VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_SRGB texture, it is likely that rendering into it should
4867 be done using a VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM view, if that is what the rendering
4868 engine's pipeline requires; in this example one would call this function
4869 with a ViewFormat that has a format of QRhiTexture::RGBA8 and \c srgb set to
4870 \c false).

5166
5167 The concept of the compatibility of renderpass descriptors is similar to
5168 the \l{QRhiShaderResourceBindings::isLayoutCompatible}{layout
5169 compatibility} of QRhiShaderResourceBindings instances. They allow better
5170 reuse of QRhiGraphicsPipeline instances: for example, a
5171 QRhiGraphicsPipeline instance cache is expected to use these functions to
5172 look for a matching pipeline, instead of just comparing pointers, thus
5173 allowing a different QRhiRenderPassDescriptor and
5174 QRhiShaderResourceBindings to be used in combination with the pipeline, as
5175 long as they are compatible.
5176
5177 The exact details of compatibility depend on the underlying graphics API.
5178 Two renderpass descriptors
5179 \l{QRhiTextureRenderTarget::newCompatibleRenderPassDescriptor()}{created}
5180 from the same QRhiTextureRenderTarget are always compatible.
5181
5182 Similarly to QRhiShaderResourceBindings, compatibility can also be tested
5183 without having two existing objects available. Extracting the opaque blob by
5184 calling serializedFormat() allows testing for compatibility by comparing the
5185 returned vector to another QRhiRenderPassDescriptor's
5186 serializedFormat(). This has benefits in certain situations, because it
5187 allows testing the compatibility of a QRhiRenderPassDescriptor with a
5188 QRhiGraphicsPipeline even when the QRhiRenderPassDescriptor the pipeline was
5189 originally built was is no longer available (but the data returned from its

5205 (in order to allow creating new pipelines which in turn requires a
5206 renderpass descriptor object), and the lifetime of the renderpass
5207 descriptor created from a render target may be shorter than the pipelines.
5208 (for example, because the engine manages and destroys renderpasses together
5209 with the textures and render targets it was created from) In such a
5210 situation, it can be beneficial to store a cloned version in the data
5211 structures, and thus transferring ownership as well.

5235 When creating reusable components as part of a library, where graphics
5236 pipelines are created and maintained while targeting a QRhiRenderTarget (be
5237 it a swapchain or a texture) managed by the client of the library, the
5238 components must be able to deal with a changing QRhiRenderPassDescriptor.
5239 For example, because the render target changes and so invalidates the
5240 previously QRhiRenderPassDescriptor (with regards to the new render target
5241 at least) due to having a potentially different color format and attachments
5242 now. Or because \l{QRhiShadingRateMap}{variable rate shading} is taken into
5243 use dynamically. A simple pattern that helps dealing with this is performing
5244 the following check on every frame, to recognize the case when the pipeline
5245 needs to be associated with a new QRhiRenderPassDescriptor, because
5246 something is different about the render target now, compared to earlier
5247 frames:

5394
5395 A texture render target allows rendering into one or more textures,
5396 optionally with a depth texture or depth/stencil renderbuffer.
5397
5398 For multisample rendering the common approach is to use a renderbuffer as
5399 the color attachment and set the non-multisample destination texture as the
5400 \c{resolve texture}. For more information, read the detailed description of
5401 the \l QRhiColorAttachment class.
5402
5403 \note Textures used in combination with QRhiTextureRenderTarget must be
5404 created with the QRhiTexture::RenderTarget flag.
5405
5406 The simplest example of creating a render target with a texture as its
5407 single color attachment:
5408
5409 \code
5410 QRhiTexture *texture = rhi->newTexture(QRhiTexture::RGBA8, size, 1, QRhiTexture::RenderTarget);
5411 texture->create();
5412 QRhiTextureRenderTarget *rt = rhi->newTextureRenderTarget({ texture });
5413 rp = rt->newCompatibleRenderPassDescriptor();
5414 rt->setRenderPassDescriptor(rp);
5415 rt->create();
5416 // rt can now be used with beginPass()

5423/*!
5424 \enum QRhiTextureRenderTarget::Flag
5425
5426 Flag values describing the load/store behavior for the render target. The
5427 load/store behavior may be baked into native resources under the hood,
5428 depending on the backend, and therefore it needs to be known upfront and
5429 cannot be changed without rebuilding (and so releasing and creating new
5430 native resources).
5431
5432 \value PreserveColorContents Indicates that the contents of the color
5433 attachments is to be loaded when starting a render pass, instead of
5434 clearing. This is potentially more expensive, especially on mobile (tiled)
5435 GPUs, but allows preserving the existing contents between passes. When doing
5436 multisample rendering with a resolve texture set, setting this flag also
5437 requests the multisample color data to be stored (written out) to the
5438 multisample texture or render buffer. (for non-multisample rendering the
5439 color data is always stored, but for MSAA storing the multisample data
5440 decreases efficiency for certain GPU architectures, hence defaulting to not
5441 writing it out) Note however that this is non-portable: in some cases there
5442 is no intermediate multisample texture on the graphics API level, e.g. when
5443 using OpenGL ES's \c{GL_EXT_multisampled_render_to_texture} as it is all
5444 implicit, handled by the OpenGL ES implementation. In that case,
5445 PreserveColorContents will likely have no effect. Therefore, avoid relying
5446 on this flag when using multisample rendering and the color attachment is
5447 using a multisample QRhiTexture (not QRhiRenderBuffer).
5448
5449 \value PreserveDepthStencilContents Indicates that the contents of the
5450 depth texture is to be loaded when starting a render pass, instead
5451 clearing. Only applicable when a texture is used as the depth buffer
5452 (QRhiTextureRenderTargetDescription::depthTexture() is set) because
5453 depth/stencil renderbuffers may not have any physical backing and data may
5454 not be written out in the first place.
5455
5456 \value DoNotStoreDepthStencilContents Indicates that the contents of the
5457 depth texture does not need to be written out. Relevant only when a
5458 QRhiTexture, not QRhiRenderBuffer, is used as the depth-stencil buffer,
5459 because for QRhiRenderBuffer this is implicit. When a depthResolveTexture is
5460 set, the flag is not relevant, because the behavior is then as if the flag
5461 was set. This enum value is introduced in Qt 6.8.

5560 \brief Encapsulates resources for making buffer, texture, sampler resources visible to shaders.
5561
5562 A QRhiShaderResourceBindings is a collection of QRhiShaderResourceBinding
5563 objects, each of which describe a single binding.
5564
5565 Take a fragment shader with the following interface:
5566
5567 \badcode
5568 layout(std140, binding = 0) uniform buf {
5569 mat4 mvp;
5570 int flip;
5571 } ubuf;
5572
5573 layout(binding = 1) uniform sampler2D tex;
5574 \endcode
5575
5576 To make resources visible to the shader, the following
5577 QRhiShaderResourceBindings could be created and then passed to
5578 QRhiGraphicsPipeline::setShaderResourceBindings():
5579
5580 \code
5581 QRhiShaderResourceBindings *srb = rhi->newShaderResourceBindings();
5582 srb->setBindings({
5583 QRhiShaderResourceBinding::uniformBuffer(0, QRhiShaderResourceBinding::VertexStage | QRhiShaderResourceBinding::FragmentStage, ubuf),
5584 QRhiShaderResourceBinding::sampledTexture(1, QRhiShaderResourceBinding::FragmentStage, texture, sampler)
5585 });
5586 srb->create();
5587 // ...
5588 QRhiGraphicsPipeline *ps = rhi->newGraphicsPipeline();
5589 // ...
5590 ps->setShaderResourceBindings(srb);
5591 ps->create();
5592 // ...
5593 cb->setGraphicsPipeline(ps);
5594 cb->setShaderResources(); // binds srb
5595 \endcode
5596
5597 This assumes that \c ubuf is a QRhiBuffer, \c texture is a QRhiTexture,
5598 while \a sampler is a QRhiSampler. The example also assumes that the
5599 uniform block is present in the vertex shader as well so the same buffer is
5600 made visible to the vertex stage too.
5601
5602 \section3 Advanced usage
5603
5604 Building on the above example, let's assume that a pass now needs to use
5605 the exact same pipeline and shaders with a different texture. Creating a
5606 whole separate QRhiGraphicsPipeline just for this would be an overkill.
5607 This is why QRhiCommandBuffer::setShaderResources() allows specifying a \a
5608 srb argument. As long as the layouts (so the number of bindings and the
5609 binding points) match between two QRhiShaderResourceBindings, they can both
5610 be used with the same pipeline, assuming the pipeline was created with one of
5611 them in the first place. See isLayoutCompatible() for more details.
5612
5613 \code
5614 QRhiShaderResourceBindings *srb2 = rhi->newShaderResourceBindings();
5615 // ...
5616 cb->setGraphicsPipeline(ps);
5617 cb->setShaderResources(srb2); // binds srb2

6689 \class QRhiGraphicsPipeline
6690 \inmodule QtGuiPrivate
6691 \inheaderfile rhi/qrhi.h
6692 \since 6.6
6693 \brief Graphics pipeline state resource.
6694
6695 Represents a graphics pipeline. What exactly this map to in the underlying
6696 native graphics API, varies. Where there is a concept of pipeline objects,
6697 for example with Vulkan, the QRhi backend will create such an object upon
6698 calling create(). Elsewhere, for example with OpenGL, the
6699 QRhiGraphicsPipeline may merely collect the various state, and create()'s
6700 main task is to set up the corresponding shader program, but deferring
6701 looking at any of the requested state to a later point.
6702
6703 As with all QRhiResource subclasses, the two-phased initialization pattern
6704 applies: setting any values via the setters, for example setDepthTest(), is
6705 only effective after calling create(). Avoid changing any values once the
6706 QRhiGraphicsPipeline has been initialized via create(). To change some
6707 state, set the new value and call create() again. However, that will
6708 effectively release all underlying native resources and create new ones. As
6709 a result, it may be a heavy, expensive operation. Rather, prefer creating
6710 multiple pipelines with the different states, and
6711 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::setGraphicsPipeline()}{switch between them} when
6712 recording the render pass.
6713
6714 \note Setting the shader stages is mandatory. There must be at least one
6715 stage, and there must be a vertex stage.
6716
6717 \note Setting the shader resource bindings is mandatory. The referenced
6718 QRhiShaderResourceBindings must already have create() called on it by the
6719 time create() is called. Associating with a QRhiShaderResourceBindings that
6720 has no bindings is also valid, as long as no shader in any stage expects any
6721 resources. Using a QRhiShaderResourceBindings object that does not specify
6722 any actual resources (i.e., the buffers, textures, etc. for the binding
6723 points are set to \nullptr) is valid as well, as long as a
6724 \l{QRhiShaderResourceBindings::isLayoutCompatible()}{layout-compatible}
6725 QRhiShaderResourceBindings, that specifies resources for all the bindings,
6726 is going to be set via
6727 \l{QRhiCommandBuffer::setShaderResources()}{setShaderResources()} when
6728 recording the render pass.
6729
6730 \note Setting the render pass descriptor is mandatory. To obtain a
6731 QRhiRenderPassDescriptor that can be passed to setRenderPassDescriptor(),
6732 use either QRhiTextureRenderTarget::newCompatibleRenderPassDescriptor() or
6733 QRhiSwapChain::newCompatibleRenderPassDescriptor().
6734
6735 \note Setting the vertex input layout is mandatory.
6736
6737 \note sampleCount() defaults to 1 and must match the sample count of the
6738 render target's color and depth stencil attachments.
6739
6740 \note The depth test, depth write, and stencil test are disabled by
6741 default. The face culling mode defaults to no culling.
6742
6743 \note stencilReadMask() and stencilWriteMask() apply to both faces. They
6744 both default to 0xFF.
6745
6746 \section2 Example usage
6747
6748 All settings of a graphics pipeline have defaults which might be suitable
6749 to many applications. Therefore a minimal example of creating a graphics
6750 pipeline could be the following. This assumes that the vertex shader takes
6751 a single \c{vec3 position} input at the input location 0. With the
6752 QRhiShaderResourceBindings and QRhiRenderPassDescriptor objects, plus the
6753 QShader collections for the vertex and fragment stages, a pipeline could be
6754 created like this:
6755
6756 \code
6757 QRhiShaderResourceBindings *srb;
6758 QRhiRenderPassDescriptor *rpDesc;
6759 QShader vs, fs;
6760 // ...
6761
6762 QRhiVertexInputLayout inputLayout;
6763 inputLayout.setBindings({ { 3 * sizeof(float) } });
6764 inputLayout.setAttributes({ { 0, 0, QRhiVertexInputAttribute::Float3, 0 } });
6765
6766 QRhiGraphicsPipeline *ps = rhi->newGraphicsPipeline();
6767 ps->setShaderStages({ { QRhiShaderStage::Vertex, vs }, { QRhiShaderStage::Fragment, fs } });
6768 ps->setVertexInputLayout(inputLayout);
6769 ps->setShaderResourceBindings(srb);
6770 ps->setRenderPassDescriptor(rpDesc);
6771 if (!ps->create()) { error(); }
6772 \endcode
6773
6774 The above code creates a pipeline object that uses the defaults for many
6775 settings and states. For example, it will use a \l Triangles topology, no
6776 backface culling, blending is disabled but color write is enabled for all
6777 four channels, depth test/write are disabled, stencil operations are
6778 disabled.
6779

6781 for details.

6803 from source code is involved, and only when the underlying infrastructure
6804 supports this. With concrete examples, this is not relevant with Vulkan and
6805 SPIR-V, because the GLSL-to-SPIR-V compilation does not happen at run
6806 time. On the other hand, consider Direct3D and HLSL, where there are
6807 multiple options: when the QShader packages ship with pre-compiled bytecode
6808 (\c DXBC), debug information is to be requested through the tool that
6809 generates the \c{.qsb} file, similarly to the case of Vulkan and
6810 SPIR-V. However, when having HLSL source code in the pre- or
6811 runtime-generated QShader packages, the first phase of compilation (HLSL
6812 source to intermediate format) happens at run time too, with this flag taken
6813 into account. Debug information is relevant in particular with tools like
6814 RenderDoc since it allows seeing the original source code when investigating
6815 the pipeline and when performing vertex or fragment shader debugging.
6816
6817 \value UsesShadingRate Indicates that a per-draw (per-pipeline) shading rate
6818 value will be set via QRhiCommandBuffer::setShadingRate(). Not specifying
6819 this flag and still calling setShadingRate() may lead to varying, unexpected
6820 results depending on the underlying graphics API.

7048
7049 Creates the corresponding native graphics resources. If there are already

7051 destroy(), then destroy() is called implicitly first.
7052
7053 \return \c true when successful, \c false when a graphics operation failed.
7054 Regardless of the return value, calling destroy() is always safe.
7055
7056 \note This may be, depending on the underlying graphics API, an expensive
7057 operation, especially when shaders get compiled/optimized from source or
7058 from an intermediate bytecode format to the GPU's own instruction set.
7059 Where applicable, the QRhi backend automatically sets up the relevant
7060 non-persistent facilities to accelerate this, for example the Vulkan
7061 backend automatically creates a \c VkPipelineCache to improve data reuse
7062 during the lifetime of the application.
7063
7064 \note Drivers may also employ various persistent (disk-based) caching
7065 strategies for shader and pipeline data, which is hidden to and is outside
7066 of Qt's control. In some cases, depending on the graphics API and the QRhi
7067 backend, there are facilities within QRhi for manually managing such a
7068 cache, allowing the retrieval of a serializable blob that can then be
7069 reloaded in the future runs of the application to ensure faster pipeline
7070 creation times. See QRhi::pipelineCacheData() and
7071 QRhi::setPipelineCacheData() for details. Note also that when working with
7072 a QRhi instance managed by a higher level Qt framework, such as Qt Quick,
7073 it is possible that such disk-based caching is taken care of automatically,
7074 for example QQuickWindow uses a disk-based pipeline cache by default (which
7075 comes in addition to any driver-level caching).

7416 \since 6.6
7417 \brief Swapchain resource.
7418
7419 A swapchain enables presenting rendering results to a surface. A swapchain
7420 is typically backed by a set of color buffers. Of these, one is displayed
7421 at a time.
7422
7423 Below is a typical pattern for creating and managing a swapchain and some
7424 associated resources in order to render onto a QWindow:
7425
7426 \code
7427 void init()
7428 {
7429 sc = rhi->newSwapChain();
7430 ds = rhi->newRenderBuffer(QRhiRenderBuffer::DepthStencil,
7431 QSize(), // no need to set the size here due to UsedWithSwapChainOnly
7432 1,
7433 QRhiRenderBuffer::UsedWithSwapChainOnly);
7434 sc->setWindow(window);
7435 sc->setDepthStencil(ds);
7436 rp = sc->newCompatibleRenderPassDescriptor();
7437 sc->setRenderPassDescriptor(rp);
7438 resizeSwapChain();
7439 }
7440
7441 void resizeSwapChain()
7442 {
7443 hasSwapChain = sc->createOrResize();
7444 }
7445
7446 void render()
7447 {
7448 if (!hasSwapChain || notExposed)
7449 return;
7450
7451 if (sc->currentPixelSize() != sc->surfacePixelSize() || newlyExposed) {
7452 resizeSwapChain();
7453 if (!hasSwapChain)
7454 return;
7455 newlyExposed = false;
7456 }
7457
7458 rhi->beginFrame(sc);
7459 // ...
7460 rhi->endFrame(sc);
7461 }
7462 \endcode
7463
7464 Avoid relying on QWindow resize events to resize swapchains, especially
7465 considering that surface sizes may not always fully match the QWindow
7466 reported dimensions. The safe, cross-platform approach is to do the check
7467 via surfacePixelSize() whenever starting a new frame.
7468
7469 Releasing the swapchain must happen while the QWindow and the underlying
7470 native window is fully up and running. Building on the previous example:
7471
7472 \code
7473 void releaseSwapChain()
7474 {
7475 if (hasSwapChain) {
7476 sc->destroy();
7477 hasSwapChain = false;
7478 }
7479 }
7480
7481 // assuming Window is our QWindow subclass
7482 bool Window::event(QEvent *e)
7483 {
7484 switch (e->type()) {
7485 case QEvent::UpdateRequest: // for QWindow::requestUpdate()
7486 render();
7487 break;
7488 case QEvent::PlatformSurface:
7489 if (static_cast<QPlatformSurfaceEvent *>(e)->surfaceEventType() == QPlatformSurfaceEvent::SurfaceAboutToBeDestroyed)
7490 releaseSwapChain();
7491 break;
7492 default:
7493 break;
7494 }
7495 return QWindow::event(e);
7496 }
7497 \endcode
7498
7499 Initializing the swapchain and starting to render the first frame cannot
7500 start at any time. The safe, cross-platform approach is to rely on expose
7501 events. QExposeEvent is a loosely specified event that is sent whenever a
7502 window gets mapped, obscured, and resized, depending on the platform.
7503
7504 \code
7505 void Window::exposeEvent(QExposeEvent *)
7506 {
7507 // initialize and start rendering when the window becomes usable for graphics purposes
7508 if (isExposed() && !running) {
7509 running = true;
7510 init();
7511 }
7512
7513 // stop pushing frames when not exposed or size becomes 0
7514 if ((!isExposed() || (hasSwapChain && sc->surfacePixelSize().isEmpty())) && running)
7515 notExposed = true;
7516
7517 // continue when exposed again and the surface has a valid size
7518 if (isExposed() && running && notExposed && !sc->surfacePixelSize().isEmpty()) {
7519 notExposed = false;
7520 newlyExposed = true;
7521 }
7522
7523 if (isExposed() && !sc->surfacePixelSize().isEmpty())
7524 render();
7525 }
7526 \endcode
7527
7528 Once the rendering has started, a simple way to request a new frame is
7529 QWindow::requestUpdate(). While on some platforms this is merely a small
7530 timer, on others it has a specific implementation: for instance on macOS or
7531 iOS it may be backed by
7532 \l{https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corevideo/cvdisplaylink?language=objc}{CVDisplayLink}.
7533 The example above is already prepared for update requests by handling
7534 QEvent::UpdateRequest.
7535
7536 While acting as a QRhiRenderTarget, QRhiSwapChain also manages a
7537 QRhiCommandBuffer. Calling QRhi::endFrame() submits the recorded commands
7538 and also enqueues a \c present request. The default behavior is to do this
7539 with a swap interval of 1, meaning synchronizing to the display's vertical
7540 refresh is enabled. Thus the rendering thread calling beginFrame() and
7541 endFrame() will get throttled to vsync. On some backends this can be
7542 disabled by passing QRhiSwapChain:NoVSync in flags().
7543
7544 Multisampling (MSAA) is handled transparently to the applications when
7545 requested via setSampleCount(). Where applicable, QRhiSwapChain will take
7546 care of creating additional color buffers and issuing a multisample resolve
7547 command at the end of a frame. For OpenGL, it is necessary to request the
7548 appropriate sample count also via QSurfaceFormat, by calling
7549 QSurfaceFormat::setDefaultFormat() before initializing the QRhi.
7550
7551 \note This is a RHI API with limited compatibility guarantees, see \l QRhi
7552 for details.

7554
7555/*!
7556 \enum QRhiSwapChain::Flag
7557 Flag values to describe swapchain properties
7558
7559 \value SurfaceHasPreMulAlpha Indicates that the target surface has
7560 transparency with premultiplied alpha. For example, this is what Qt Quick
7561 uses when the alpha channel is enabled on the target QWindow, because the
7562 scenegraph rendrerer always outputs fragments with alpha multiplied into
7563 the red, green, and blue values. To ensure identical behavior across
7564 platforms, always set QSurfaceFormat::alphaBufferSize() to a non-zero value
7565 on the target QWindow whenever this flag is set on the swapchain.
7566
7567 \value SurfaceHasNonPreMulAlpha Indicates the target surface has
7568 transparency with non-premultiplied alpha. Be aware that this may not be
7569 supported on some systems, if the system compositor always expects content
7570 with premultiplied alpha. In that case the behavior with this flag set is
7571 expected to be equivalent to SurfaceHasPreMulAlpha.
7572
7573 \value sRGB Requests to pick an sRGB format for the swapchain's color
7574 buffers and/or render target views, where applicable. Note that this
7575 implies that sRGB framebuffer update and blending will get enabled for all
7576 content targeting this swapchain, and opting out is not possible. For
7577 OpenGL, set \l{QSurfaceFormat::sRGBColorSpace}{sRGBColorSpace} on the
7578 QSurfaceFormat of the QWindow in addition. Applicable only when the
7579 swapchain format is set to QRhiSwapChain::SDR.
7580
7581 \value UsedAsTransferSource Indicates the swapchain will be used as the
7582 source of a readback in QRhiResourceUpdateBatch::readBackTexture().
7583
7584 \value NoVSync Requests disabling waiting for vertical sync, also avoiding
7585 throttling the rendering thread. The behavior is backend specific and
7586 applicable only where it is possible to control this. Some may ignore the
7587 request altogether. For OpenGL, try instead setting the swap interval to 0
7588 on the QWindow via QSurfaceFormat::setSwapInterval().
7589
7590 \value MinimalBufferCount Requests creating the swapchain with the minimum
7591 number of buffers, which is in practice 2, unless the graphics
7592 implementation has a higher minimum number than that. Only applicable with
7593 backends where such control is available via the graphics API, for example,
7594 Vulkan. By default it is up to the backend to decide what number of buffers
7595 it requests (in practice this is almost always either 2 or 3), and it is
7596 not the applications' concern. However, on Vulkan for instance the backend
7597 will likely prefer the higher number (3), for example to avoid odd
7598 performance issues with some Vulkan implementations on mobile devices. It
7599 could be that on some platforms it can prove to be beneficial to force the
7600 lower buffer count (2), so this flag allows forcing that. Note that all
7601 this has no effect on the number of frames kept in flight, so the CPU
7602 (QRhi) will still prepare frames at most \c{N - 1} frames ahead of the GPU,
7603 even when the swapchain image buffer count larger than \c N. (\c{N} =
7604 QRhi::FramesInFlight and typically 2).

7607/*!
7608 \enum QRhiSwapChain::Format
7609 Describes the swapchain format. The default format is SDR.
7610
7611 This enum is used with
7612 \l{QRhiSwapChain::isFormatSupported()}{isFormatSupported()} to check
7613 upfront if creating the swapchain with the given format is supported by the
7614 platform and the window's associated screen, and with
7615 \l{QRhiSwapChain::setFormat()}{setFormat()}
7616 to set the requested format in the swapchain before calling
7617 \l{QRhiSwapChain::createOrResize()}{createOrResize()} for the first time.
7618
7619 \value SDR 8-bit RGBA or BGRA, depending on the backend and platform. With
7620 OpenGL ES in particular, it could happen that the platform provides less
7621 than 8 bits (e.g. due to EGL and the QSurfaceFormat choosing a 565 or 444
7622 format - this is outside the control of QRhi). Standard dynamic range. May
7623 be combined with setting the QRhiSwapChain::sRGB flag.
7624
7625 \value HDRExtendedSrgbLinear 16-bit float RGBA, high dynamic range,
7626 extended linear sRGB (scRGB) color space. This involves Rec. 709 primaries
7627 (same as SDR/sRGB) and linear colors. Conversion to the display's native
7628 color space (such as, HDR10) is performed by the windowing system. On
7629 Windows this is the canonical color space of the system compositor, and is
7630 the recommended format for HDR swapchains in general on desktop platforms.
7631
7632 \value HDR10 10-bit unsigned int RGB or BGR with 2 bit alpha, high dynamic
7633 range, HDR10 (Rec. 2020) color space with an ST2084 PQ transfer function.
7634
7635 \value HDRExtendedDisplayP3Linear 16-bit float RGBA, high dynamic range,
7636 extended linear Display P3 color space. The primary choice for HDR on
7637 platforms such as iOS and VisionOS.

7671 Using this function is therefore strongly recommended whenever there is a
7672 need to identify the dimensions, in pixels, of the output layer or surface.
7673
7674 This also has the added benefit of avoiding potential data races when QRhi
7675 is used on a dedicated rendering thread, because the need to call QWindow
7676 functions, that may then access data updated on the main thread, is

7688 QWindow::devicePixelRatio()}. With some graphics APIs and windowing system
7689 interfaces (for example, Vulkan) there is a theoretical possibility for a
7690 surface to assume a size different from the associated window. To support
7691 these cases, \b{rendering logic must always base size-derived calculations
7692 (such as, viewports) on the size reported from QRhiSwapChain, and never on
7693 the size queried from QWindow}.
7694
7695 \note \b{Can also be called before createOrResize(), if at least window() is
7696 already set. This in combination with currentPixelSize() allows to detect
7697 when a swapchain needs to be resized.} However, watch out for the fact that
7698 the size of the underlying native object (surface, layer, or similar) is
7699 "live", so whenever this function is called, it returns the latest value
7700 reported by the underlying implementation, without any atomicity guarantee.
7701 Therefore, using this function to determine pixel sizes for graphics
7702 resources that are used in a frame is strongly discouraged. Rely on

7727 (screen) to which the swapchain's associated window belongs at any given
7728 time. If the result is true for a HDR format, then creating the swapchain
7729 with that format is expected to succeed as long as the window is not moved
7730 to another screen in the meantime.
7731
7732 The main use of this function is to call it before the first

7942 \note Setting a shading rate map implies that a different, new
7943 QRhiRenderPassDescriptor is needed and some of the native swapchain objects
7944 must be rebuilt. Therefore, if the swapchain is already set up, call
7945 newCompatibleRenderPassDescriptor() and setRenderPassDescriptor() right
7946 after setShadingRateMap(). Then, createOrResize() must also be called again.
7947 This has rolling consequences, for example for graphics pipelines: those
7948 also need to be associated with the new QRhiRenderPassDescriptor and then
7949 rebuilt. See \l QRhiRenderPassDescriptor::serializedFormat() for some
7950 suggestions on how to deal with this. Remember to set the
7951 QRhiGraphicsPipeline::UsesShadingRate flag for them as well.

7960 \since 6.6
7961
7962 \brief Describes the high dynamic range related information of the
7963 swapchain's associated output.
7964
7965 To perform HDR-compatible tonemapping, where the target range is not [0,1],
7966 one often needs to know the maximum luminance of the display the
7967 swapchain's window is associated with. While this is often made
7968 user-configurable (think brightness, gamma and similar settings in games),
7969 it can be highly useful to set defaults based on the values reported by the
7970 display itself, thus providing a decent starting point.
7971
7972 There are some problems however: the information is exposed in different
7973 forms on different platforms, whereas with cross-platform graphics APIs
7974 there is often no associated solution at all, because managing such
7975 information is not in the scope of the API (and may rather be retrievable
7976 via other platform-specific means, if any).
7977
7978 With Metal on macOS/iOS, there is no luminance values exposed in the
7979 platform APIs. Instead, the maximum color component value, that would be
7980 1.0 in a non-HDR setup, is provided. The \c limitsType field indicates what
7981 kind of information is available. It is then up to the clients of QRhi to
7982 access the correct data from the \c limits union and use it as they see
7983 fit.
7984
7985 With an API like Vulkan, where there is no way to get such information, the
7986 values are always the built-in defaults.
7987
7988 Therefore, the struct returned from QRhiSwapChain::hdrInfo() contains
7989 either some hard-coded defaults or real values received from an API such as
7990 DXGI (IDXGIOutput6) or Cocoa (NSScreen). When no platform queries are
7991 available (or needs using platform facilities out of scope for QRhi), the
7992 hard-coded defaults are a maximum luminance of 1000 nits and an SDR white
7993 level of 200.
7994
7995 The struct also exposes the presumed luminance behavior of the platform and
7996 its compositor, to indicate what a color component value of 1.0 is treated
7997 as in a HDR color buffer. In some cases it will be necessary to perform
7998 color correction of non-HDR content composited with HDR content. To enable
7999 this, the SDR white level is queried from the system on some platforms
8000 (Windows) and exposed here.
8001

8048
8049 Contains the actual values queried from the graphics API or the platform.
8050 The type of data is indicated by \l limitsType. This is therefore a union.
8051 There are currently two options:
8052
8053 Luminance values in nits:
8054
8055 \code
8056 struct {
8057 float minLuminance;
8058 float maxLuminance;
8059 } luminanceInNits;
8060 \endcode
8061
8062 On Windows the minimum and maximum luminance depends on the screen
8063 brightness. While not relevant for desktops, on laptops the screen
8064 brightness may change at any time. Increasing brightness implies decreased
8065 maximum luminance. In addition, the results may also be dependent on the
8066 HDR Content Brightness set in Windows Settings' System/Display/HDR view,
8067 if there is such a setting.
8068
8069 Note however that the changes made to the laptop screen's brightness or in
8070 the system settings while the application is running are not necessarily
8071 reflected in the returned values, meaning calling hdrInfo() again may still
8072 return the same luminance range as before for the rest of the process'
8073 lifetime. The exact behavior is up to DXGI and Qt has no control over it.
8074
8075 \note The Windows compositor works in scene-referred mode for HDR content.
8076 A color component value of 1.0 corresponds to a luminance of 80 nits. When
8077 rendering non-HDR content (e.g. 2D UI elements), the correction of the
8078 white level is often necessary. (e.g., outputting the fragment color (1, 1,
8079 1) will likely lead to showing a shade of white that is too dim on-screen)
8080 See \l sdrWhiteLevel.
8081
8082 For macOS/iOS, the current maximum and potential maximum color
8083 component values are provided:
8084
8085 \code
8086 struct {
8087 float maxColorComponentValue;
8088 float maxPotentialColorComponentValue;
8089 } colorComponentValue;
8090 \endcode
8091
8092 The value may depend on the screen brightness, which on laptops means that
8093 the result may change in the next call to hdrInfo() if the brightness was
8094 changed in the meantime. The maximum screen brightness implies a maximum
8095 color value of 1.0.
8096
8097 \note Apple's EDR is display-referred. 1.0 corresponds to a luminance level
8098 of SDR white (e.g. 200 nits), the value of which varies based on the screen
8099 brightness and possibly other settings. The exact luminance value for that,
8100 or the maximum luminance of the display, are not exposed to the
8101 applications.
8102
8103 \note It has been observed that the color component values are not set to
8104 the correct larger-than-1 value right away on startup on some macOS
8105 systems, but the values tend to change during or after the first frame.

8932 \a params must point to an instance of one of the backend-specific
8933 subclasses of QRhiInitParams, such as, QRhiVulkanInitParams,
8934 QRhiMetalInitParams, QRhiD3D11InitParams, QRhiD3D12InitParams,
8935 QRhiGles2InitParams. See these classes for examples on creating a QRhi.
8936
8937 QRhi by design does not implement any fallback logic: if the specified API
8938 cannot be initialized, create() will fail, with warnings printed on the
8939 debug output by the backends. The clients of QRhi, for example Qt Quick,
8940 may however provide additional logic that allow falling back to an API
8941 different than what was requested, depending on the platform. If the
8942 intention is just to test if initialization would succeed when calling
8943 create() at later point, it is preferable to use probe() instead of
8944 create(), because with some backends probing can be implemented in a more
8945 lightweight manner as opposed to create(), which performs full
8946 initialization of the infrastructure and is wasteful if that QRhi instance
8947 is then thrown immediately away.
8948
8949 \a importDevice allows using an already existing graphics device, without
8950 QRhi creating its own. When not null, this parameter must point to an
8951 instance of one of the subclasses of QRhiNativeHandles:
8952 QRhiVulkanNativeHandles, QRhiD3D11NativeHandles, QRhiD3D12NativeHandles,
8953 QRhiMetalNativeHandles, QRhiGles2NativeHandles. The exact details and
8954 semantics depend on the backand and the underlying graphics API.
8955
8956 Specifying a QRhiAdapter in \a adapter offers a transparent, cross-API
8957 alternative to passing in a \c VkPhysicalDevice via QRhiVulkanNativeHandles,
8958 or an adapter LUID via QRhiD3D12NativeHandles. The ownership of \a adapter
8959 is not taken. See enumerateAdapters() for more information on this approach.

9027 when such control is not available with a given graphics API.
9028
9029 Backends where such level of control is not available, the returned list is
9030 always empty. Thus an empty list does not indicate there are no graphics
9031 devices in the system, but that fine-grained control over selecting which
9032 one to use is not available.
9033
9034 Backends for Direct 3D 11, Direct 3D 12, and Vulkan can be expected to fully
9035 support enumerating adapters. Others may not. The backend is specified by \a
9036 impl. A QRhiAdapter returned from this function must only be used in a
9037 create() call with the same \a impl. Some underlying APIs may present
9038 further limitations, with Vulkan in particular the QRhiAdapter is specified
9039 to the QVulkanInstance (\c VkInstance).
9040
9041 The caller is expected to destroy the QRhiAdapter objects in the list. Apart
9042 from querying \l{QRhiAdapter::}{info()}, the only purpose of these objects is
9043 to be passed on to create(), or the corresponding functions in higher layers
9044 such as Qt Quick.
9045
9046 The following snippet, written specifically for Vulkan, shows how to
9047 enumerate the available physical devices and request to create a QRhi for
9048 the chosen one. This in practice is equivalent to passing in a \c
9049 VkPhysicalDevice via a QRhiVulkanNativeHandles to create(), but it involves
9050 less API-specific code on the application side:

9052 \code

9065 \endcode
9066
9067 Passing in \a params is required due to some of the underlying graphics
9068 APIs' design. With Vulkan in particular, the QVulkanInstance must be
9069 provided, since enumerating is not possible without it. Other fields in the
9070 backend-specific \a params will not actually be used by this function.
9071
9072 \a nativeHandles is optional. When specified, it must be a valid
9073 QRhiD3D11NativeHandles, QRhiD3D12NativeHandles, or QRhiVulkanNativeHandles,
9074 similarly to create(). However, unlike create(), only the physical device
9075 (in case of Vulkan) or the adapter LUID (in case of D3D) fields are used,
9076 all other fields are ignored. This can be used the restrict the results to a
9077 given adapter. The returned list will contain 1 or 0 elements in this case.
9078
9079 Note how in the previous code snippet the looksGood() function
9080 implementation cannot perform any platform-specific filtering based on the
9081 true adapter / physical device identity, such as the adapter LUID on Windows
9082 or the VkPhysicalDevice with Vulkan. This is because QRhiDriverInfo does not
9083 contain platform-specific data. Instead, use \a nativeHandles to get the
9084 results filtered already inside enumerateAdapters().
9085
9086 The following two snippets, using Direct 3D 12 as an example, are equivalent
9087 in practice:
9088
9089 \code

9141 The returned struct can be passed to QRhiSwapChain::setProxyData(). This
9142 makes sense in threaded rendering systems: this static function is expected
9143 to be called on the \b{main (gui) thread}, unlike all QRhi operations, then
9144 transferred to the thread working with the QRhi and QRhiSwapChain and passed
9145 on to the swapchain. This allows doing native platform queries that are
9146 only safe to be called on the main thread, for example to query the
9147 CAMetalLayer from a NSView, and then passing on the data to the
9148 QRhiSwapChain living on the rendering thread. With the Metal example, doing
9149 the view.layer access on a dedicated rendering thread causes a warning in
9150 the Xcode Thread Checker. With the data proxy mechanism, this is avoided.
9151
9152 When threads are not involved, generating and passing on the
9153 QRhiSwapChainProxyData is not required: backends are guaranteed to be able

10045 is to be committed and then released.
10046
10047 The color and depth/stencil buffers of the render target are normally
10048 cleared. The clear values are specified in \a colorClearValue and \a
10049 depthStencilClearValue. The exception is when the render target was created
10050 with QRhiTextureRenderTarget::PreserveColorContents and/or
10051 QRhiTextureRenderTarget::PreserveDepthStencilContents. The clear values are
10052 ignored then.
10053
10054 \note Enabling preserved color or depth contents leads to decreased
10055 performance depending on the underlying hardware. Mobile GPUs with tiled
10056 architecture benefit from not having to reload the previous contents into
10057 the tile buffer. Similarly, a QRhiTextureRenderTarget with a QRhiTexture as
10058 the depth buffer is less efficient than a QRhiRenderBuffer since using a
10059 depth texture triggers requiring writing the data out to it, while with
10060 renderbuffers this is not needed (as the API does not allow sampling or
10061 reading from a renderbuffer).
10062
10063 \note Do not assume that any state or resource bindings persist between
10064 passes.
10065
10066 \note The QRhiCommandBuffer's \c set and \c draw functions can only be
10067 called inside a pass. Also, with the exception of setGraphicsPipeline(),
10068 they expect to have a pipeline set already on the command buffer.
10069 Unspecified issues may arise otherwise, depending on the backend.
10070
10071 If \a rt is a QRhiTextureRenderTarget, beginPass() performs a check to see
10072 if the texture and renderbuffer objects referenced from the render target
10073 are up-to-date. This is similar to what setShaderResources() does for
10074 QRhiShaderResourceBindings. If any of the attachments had been rebuilt
10075 since QRhiTextureRenderTarget::create(), an implicit call to create() is
10076 made on \a rt. Therefore, if \a rt has a QRhiTexture color attachment \c
10077 texture, and one needs to make the texture a different size, the following
10078 is then valid:
10079 \code
10080 QRhiTextureRenderTarget *rt = rhi->newTextureRenderTarget({ { texture } });

10138 Records binding a set of shader resources, such as, uniform buffers or
10139 textures, that are made visible to one or more shader stages.
10140
10141 \a srb can be null in which case the current graphics or compute pipeline's
10142 associated QRhiShaderResourceBindings is used. When \a srb is non-null, it
10143 must be
10144 \l{QRhiShaderResourceBindings::isLayoutCompatible()}{layout-compatible},
10145 meaning the layout (number of bindings, the type and binding number of each
10146 binding) must fully match the QRhiShaderResourceBindings that was
10147 associated with the pipeline at the time of calling the pipeline's create().
10148
10149 There are cases when a seemingly unnecessary setShaderResources() call is
10150 mandatory: when rebuilding a resource referenced from \a srb, for example
10151 changing the size of a QRhiBuffer followed by a QRhiBuffer::create(), this
10152 is the place where associated native objects (such as descriptor sets in
10153 case of Vulkan) are updated to refer to the current native resources that
10154 back the QRhiBuffer, QRhiTexture, QRhiSampler objects referenced from \a
10155 srb. In this case setShaderResources() must be called even if \a srb is
10156 the same as in the last call.
10157
10158 When \a srb is not null, the QRhiShaderResourceBindings object the pipeline
10159 was built with in create() is guaranteed to be not accessed in any form. In
10160 fact, it does not need to be valid even at this point: destroying the
10161 pipeline's associated srb after create() and instead explicitly specifying
10162 another, \l{QRhiShaderResourceBindings::isLayoutCompatible()}{layout
10163 compatible} one in every setShaderResources() call is valid.
10164
10165 \a dynamicOffsets allows specifying buffer offsets for uniform buffers that
10166 were associated with \a srb via
10167 QRhiShaderResourceBinding::uniformBufferWithDynamicOffset(). This is
10168 different from providing the offset in the \a srb itself: dynamic offsets
10169 do not require building a new QRhiShaderResourceBindings for every
10170 different offset, can avoid writing the underlying descriptors (with
10171 backends where applicable), and so they may be more efficient. Each element
10172 of \a dynamicOffsets is a \c binding - \c offset pair.
10173 \a dynamicOffsetCount specifies the number of elements in \a dynamicOffsets.
10174
10175 \note All offsets in \a dynamicOffsets must be byte aligned to the value
10176 returned from QRhi::ubufAlignment().
10177
10178 \note Some backends may limit the number of supported dynamic offsets.
10179 Avoid using a \a dynamicOffsetCount larger than 8.
10180
10181 \note QRhi will optimize out unnecessary invocations within a pass (taking
10182 the conditions described above into account), so therefore overoptimizing

10200 \a indexBuf, \a indexOffset, and \a indexFormat. \a indexBuf can be set to
10201 null when indexed drawing is not needed.
10202
10203 Vertex buffer bindings are batched. \a startBinding specifies the first
10204 binding number. The recorded command then binds each buffer from \a
10205 bindings to the binding point \c{startBinding + i} where \c i is the index
10206 in \a bindings. Each element in \a bindings specifies a QRhiBuffer and an
10207 offset.

10209 \note Some backends may limit the number of vertex buffer bindings. Avoid
10210 using a \a bindingCount larger than 8.
10211
10212 Superfluous vertex input and index changes in the same pass are ignored
10213 automatically with most backends and therefore applications do not need to
10214 overoptimize to avoid calls to this function.
10215
10216 \note This function can only be called inside a render pass, meaning
10217 between a beginPass() and endPass() call.
10218
10219 As a simple example, take a vertex shader with two inputs:
10220
10221 \badcode
10222 layout(location = 0) in vec4 position;
10223 layout(location = 1) in vec3 color;
10224 \endcode
10225
10226 and assume we have the data available in interleaved format, using only 2
10227 floats for position (so 5 floats per vertex: x, y, r, g, b). A QRhiGraphicsPipeline for
10228 this shader can then be created using the input layout:
10229
10230 \code
10231 QRhiVertexInputLayout inputLayout;
10232 inputLayout.setBindings({
10233 { 5 * sizeof(float) }

10236 { 0, 0, QRhiVertexInputAttribute::Float2, 0 },
10237 { 0, 1, QRhiVertexInputAttribute::Float3, 2 * sizeof(float) }
10238 });
10239 \endcode
10240
10241 Here there is one buffer binding (binding number 0), with two inputs
10242 referencing it. When recording the pass, once the pipeline is set, the
10243 vertex bindings can be specified simply like the following, assuming vbuf
10244 is the QRhiBuffer with all the interleaved position+color data:
10245
10246 \code

10600 QRhiCommandBuffer::nativeHandles() that is different from the primary one

10635
10636 \note Do not expect results other than 0 when the QRhi::Timestamps feature
10637 is not reported as supported, or when QRhi::EnableTimestamps was not passed
10638 to QRhi::create(). There are exceptions to this, because with some graphics
10639 APIs (Metal) timings are available without having to perform extra
10640 operations (timestamp queries), but portable applications should always
10641 consciously opt-in to timestamp collection when they know it is needed, and
10642 call this function accordingly.
10643
10644 Care must be exercised with the interpretation of the value, as its
10645 precision and granularity is often not controlled by Qt, and depends on the
10646 underlying graphics API and its implementation. In particular, comparing
10647 the values between different graphics APIs and hardware is discouraged and
10648 may be meaningless.
10649
10650 When the frame was recorded with \l{QRhi::beginFrame()}{beginFrame()} and
10651 \l{QRhi::endFrame()}{endFrame()}, i.e., with a swapchain, the timing values
10652 will likely become available asynchronously. The returned value may
10653 therefore be 0 (e.g., for the first 1-2 frames) or the last known value
10654 referring to some previous frame. The value my also
10655 become 0 again under certain conditions, such as when resizing the window.
10656 It can be expected that the most up-to-date available value is retrieved in
10657 beginFrame() and becomes queriable via this function once beginFrame()
10658 returns.
10659
10660 \note Do not assume that the value refers to the previous
10661 (\c{currently_recorded - 1}) frame. It may refer to \c{currently_recorded -
10662 2} or \c{currently_recorded - 3} as well. The exact behavior may depend on
10663 the graphics API and its implementation.
10664
10665 On the other hand, with offscreen frames the returned value is up-to-date
10666 once \l{QRhi::endOffscreenFrame()}{endOffscreenFrame()} returns, because
10667 offscreen frames reduce GPU pipelining and wait the the commands to be
10668 complete.
10669
10670 \note This means that, unlike with swapchain frames, with offscreen frames
10671 the returned value is guaranteed to refer to the frame that has just been
10672 submitted and completed. (assuming this function is called after
10673 endOffscreenFrame() but before the next beginOffscreenFrame())
10674
10675 Watch out for the consequences of GPU frequency scaling and GPU clock
10676 changes, depending on the platform. For example, on Windows the returned
10677 timing may vary in a quite wide range between frames with modern graphics
10678 cards, even when submitting frames with a similar, or the same workload.
10679 This is out of scope for Qt to control and solve, generally speaking.
10680 However, the D3D12 backend automatically calls
10681 \l{https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/d3d12/nf-d3d12-id3d12device-setstablepowerstate}{ID3D12Device::SetStablePowerState()}
10682 whenever the environment variable \c QT_D3D_STABLE_POWER_STATE is set to a
10683 non-zero value. This can greatly stabilize the result. It can also have a
10684 non-insignificant effect on the CPU-side timings measured via QElapsedTimer
10685 for example, especially when offscreen frames are involved.
10686

10916 The loss of the device is typically detected in beginFrame(), endFrame() or

10918 native APIs. The most common is endFrame() because that is where presenting
10919 happens. With some backends QRhiSwapChain::createOrResize() can also fail
10920 due to a device loss. Therefore this function is provided as a generic way
10921 to check if a device loss was detected by a previous operation.
10922
10923 When the device is lost, no further operations should be done via the QRhi.
10924 Rather, all QRhi resources should be released, followed by destroying the
10925 QRhi. A new QRhi can then be attempted to be created. If successful, all
10926 graphics resources must be reinitialized. If not, try again later,
10927 repeatedly.
10928
10929 While simple applications may decide to not care about device loss,
10930 on the commonly used desktop platforms a device loss can happen
10931 due to a variety of reasons, including physically disconnecting the
10932 graphics adapter, disabling the device or driver, uninstalling or upgrading
10933 the graphics driver, or due to errors that lead to a graphics device reset.
10934 Some of these can happen under perfectly normal circumstances as well, for
10935 example the upgrade of the graphics driver to a newer version is a common
10936 task that can happen at any time while a Qt application is running. Users
10937 may very well expect applications to be able to survive this, even when the
10938 application is actively using an API like OpenGL or Direct3D.
10939
10940 Qt's own frameworks built on top of QRhi, such as, Qt Quick, can be
10941 expected to handle and take appropriate measures when a device loss occurs.
10942 If the data for graphics resources, such as textures and buffers, are still
10943 available on the CPU side, such an event may not be noticeable on the
10944 application level at all since graphics resources can seamlessly be
10945 reinitialized then. However, applications and libraries working directly
10946 with QRhi are expected to be prepared to check and handle device loss
10947 situations themselves.
10948
10949 \note With OpenGL, applications may need to opt-in to context reset
10950 notifications by setting QSurfaceFormat::ResetNotification on the
10951 QOpenGLContext. This is typically done by enabling the flag in
10952 QRhiGles2InitParams::format. Keep in mind however that some systems may

11023 accelerating, potentially, the pipeline creation.
11024
11025 With other APIs there is no real pipeline cache, but they may provide a
11026 cache with bytecode from shader compilations (D3D) or program binaries
11027 (OpenGL). In applications that perform a lot of shader compilation from

11029 if the "pipeline cache" is pre-seeded from an earlier run using this
11030 function.
11031
11032 \note QRhi cannot give any guarantees that \a data has an effect on the
11033 pipeline and shader creation performance. With APIs like Vulkan, it is up
11034 to the driver to decide if \a data is used for some purpose, or if it is
11035 ignored.

11147 Gathers and returns statistics about the timings and allocations of
11148 graphics resources.
11149
11150 Data about memory allocations is only available with some backends, where
11151 such operations are under Qt's control. With graphics APIs where there is
11152 no lower level control over resource memory allocations, this will never be
11153 supported and all relevant fields in the results are 0.
11154
11155 With Vulkan in particular, the values are valid always, and are queried
11156 from the underlying memory allocator library. This gives an insight into
11157 the memory requirements of the active buffers and textures.
11158
11159 The same is true for Direct 3D 12. In addition to the memory allocator
11160 library's statistics, here the result also includes a \c totalUsageBytes
11161 field which reports the total size including additional resources that are
11162 not under the memory allocator library's control (swapchain buffers,
11163 descriptor heaps, etc.), as reported by DXGI.
11164
11165 The values correspond to all types of memory used, combined. (i.e. video +
11166 system in case of a discreet GPU)
11167
11168 Additional data, such as the total time in milliseconds spent in graphics
11169 and compute pipeline creation (which usually involves shader compilation or
11170 cache lookups, and potentially expensive processing) is available with most
11171 backends.
11172
11173 \note The elapsed times for operations such as pipeline creation may be
11174 affected by various factors. The results should not be compared between
11175 different backends since the concept of "pipelines" and what exactly
11176 happens under the hood during, for instance, a call to
11177 QRhiGraphicsPipeline::create(), differ greatly between graphics APIs and
11178 their implementations.
11179
11180 \note Additionally, many drivers will likely employ various caching
11181 strategies for shaders, programs, pipelines. (independently of Qt's own
11182 similar facilities, such as setPipelineCacheData() or the OpenGL-specific
11183 program binary disk cache). Because such internal behavior is transparent
11184 to the API client, Qt and QRhi have no knowledge or control over the exact
11185 caching strategy, persistency, invalidation of the cached data, etc. When
11186 reading timings, such as the time spent on pipeline creation, the potential
11187 presence and unspecified behavior of driver-level caching mechanisms should
11188 be kept in mind.

11558 With backends like Vulkan or Metal, it is the responsibility of the QRhi
11559 backend to block whenever starting a new frame and finding the CPU is
11560 already \c{FramesInFlight - 1} frames ahead of the GPU (because the command
11561 buffer submitted in frame no. \c{current} - \c{FramesInFlight} has not yet
11562 completed).
11563
11564 Resources that tend to change between frames (such as, the native buffer
11565 object backing a QRhiBuffer with type QRhiBuffer::Dynamic) exist in
11566 multiple versions, so that each frame, that can be submitted while a
11567 previous one is still being processed, works with its own copy, thus
11568 avoiding the need to stall the pipeline when preparing the frame. (The
11569 contents of a resource that may still be in use in the GPU should not be
11570 touched, but simply always waiting for the previous frame to finish would
11571 reduce GPU utilization and ultimately, performance and efficiency.)
11572
11573 Conceptually this is somewhat similar to copy-on-write schemes used by some
11574 C++ containers and other types. It may also be similar to what an OpenGL or
11575 Direct 3D 11 implementation performs internally for certain type of objects.
11576
11577 In practice, such double (or triple) buffering resources is realized in
11578 the Vulkan, Metal, and similar QRhi backends by having a fixed number of
11579 native resource (such as, VkBuffer) \c slots behind a QRhiResource. That
11580 can then be indexed by a frame slot index running 0, 1, ..,
11581 FramesInFlight-1, and then wrapping around.
11582
11583 All this is managed transparently to the users of QRhi. However,
11584 applications that integrate rendering done directly with the graphics API
11585 may want to perform a similar double or triple buffering of their own
11586 graphics resources. That is then most easily achieved by knowing the values

11601
11602 \note The QRhiCommandBuffer stored to *cb is not owned by the caller.
11603
11604 Rendering without a swapchain is possible as well. The typical use case is
11605 to use it in completely offscreen applications, e.g. to generate image
11606 sequences by rendering and reading back without ever showing a window.
11607
11608 Usage in on-screen applications (so beginFrame, endFrame,
11609 beginOffscreenFrame, endOffscreenFrame, beginFrame, ...) is possible too
11610 but it does reduce parallelism so it should be done only infrequently.
11611
11612 Offscreen frames do not let the CPU potentially generate another frame
11613 while the GPU is still processing the previous one. This has the side
11614 effect that if readbacks are scheduled, the results are guaranteed to be
11615 available once endOffscreenFrame() returns. That is not the case with
11616 frames targeting a swapchain: there the GPU is potentially better utilized,
11617 but working with readback operations needs more care from the application
11618 because endFrame(), unlike endOffscreenFrame(), does not guarantee that the
11619 results from the readback are available at that point.
11620
11621 The skeleton of rendering a frame without a swapchain and then reading the
11622 frame contents back could look like the following:
11623
11624 \code
11625 QRhiReadbackResult rbResult;
11626 QRhiCommandBuffer *cb;
11627 rhi->beginOffscreenFrame(&cb);
11628 cb->beginPass(rt, colorClear, dsClear);
11629 // ...
11630 u = nextResourceUpdateBatch();
11631 u->readBackTexture(rb, &rbResult);
11632 cb->endPass(u);
11633 rhi->endOffscreenFrame();
11634 // image data available in rbResult
11635 \endcode
11636
