C Specification
To record an indexed draw call with a draw call count sourced from a buffer, call:
void vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirectCount(
VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,
VkBuffer buffer,
VkDeviceSize offset,
VkBuffer countBuffer,
VkDeviceSize countBufferOffset,
uint32_t maxDrawCount,
uint32_t stride);
or the equivalent command
void vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirectCountKHR(
VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,
VkBuffer buffer,
VkDeviceSize offset,
VkBuffer countBuffer,
VkDeviceSize countBufferOffset,
uint32_t maxDrawCount,
uint32_t stride);
or the equivalent command
void vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirectCountAMD(
VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,
VkBuffer buffer,
VkDeviceSize offset,
VkBuffer countBuffer,
VkDeviceSize countBufferOffset,
uint32_t maxDrawCount,
uint32_t stride);
Parameters
-
commandBufferis the command buffer into which the command is recorded. -
bufferis the buffer containing draw parameters. -
offsetis the byte offset intobufferwhere parameters begin. -
countBufferis the buffer containing the draw count. -
countBufferOffsetis the byte offset intocountBufferwhere the draw count begins. -
maxDrawCountspecifies the maximum number of draws that will be executed. The actual number of executed draw calls is the minimum of the count specified incountBufferandmaxDrawCount. -
strideis the byte stride between successive sets of draw parameters.
Description
vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirectCount behaves similarly to
vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect except that the draw count is read by the
device from a buffer during execution.
The command will read an unsigned 32-bit integer from countBuffer
located at countBufferOffset and use this as the draw count.
