struct ByteAddressBuffer

Conditionally conforms to: __IDynamicResourceCastable<__DynamicResourceKind.General>, IPhysicalBuffer

Description

Represents an opaque handle to a read-only buffer allocated in global memory that is indexed in bytes. ByteAddressBuffer can be used when working with raw buffers. Raw buffer can be viewed as a bag of bits to which you want raw access, that is, a buffer that you can conveniently access through chunks of one to four 32-bit typeless address values.

Fields

descriptorAccess : DescriptorAccess = DescriptorAccess.Read

kind : DescriptorKind = DescriptorKind.StorageBuffer

Methods

• GetDimensions

• Load2

• Load2Aligned

• Load3

• Load3Aligned

• Load4

• Load4Aligned

• Load

• LoadAligned

• init

• GetBufferPointer

• LoadByteOffset

Conditional Conformances

Conformance to __IDynamicResourceCastable<__DynamicResourceKind.General>

ByteAddressBuffer additionally conforms to __IDynamicResourceCastable<__DynamicResourceKind.General>.

Conformance to IPhysicalBuffer

ByteAddressBuffer additionally conforms to IPhysicalBuffer.

Remarks

This type is supported natively when targeting HLSL. For all other targets, this type maps to a buffer of 32bit unsigned integers.
