Buffer utility functions to determine buffer types.

Functions
LLGL_EXPORT bool	LLGL::IsTypedBuffer (const BufferDescriptor &desc)
	Returns true if the buffer descriptor denotes a typed buffer, i.e. Buffer or RWBuffer in HLSL.
LLGL_EXPORT bool	LLGL::IsStructuredBuffer (const BufferDescriptor &desc)
	Returns true if the buffer descriptor denotes a structured buffer, i.e. StructuredBuffer, RWStructuredBuffer, AppendStructuredBuffer, or ConsumeStructuredBuffer in HLSL.
LLGL_EXPORT bool	LLGL::IsByteAddressBuffer (const BufferDescriptor &desc)
	Returns true if the buffer descriptor denotes a byte address buffer, i.e. ByteAddressBuffer or RWByteAddressBuffer in HLSL.

Detailed Description

Function Documentation

IsByteAddressBuffer()

LLGL_EXPORT bool LLGL::IsByteAddressBuffer

(

const BufferDescriptor &

desc

)

Returns true if the buffer descriptor denotes a byte address buffer, i.e. ByteAddressBuffer or RWByteAddressBuffer in HLSL.

IsStructuredBuffer()

LLGL_EXPORT bool LLGL::IsStructuredBuffer

(

const BufferDescriptor &

desc

)

Returns true if the buffer descriptor denotes a structured buffer, i.e. StructuredBuffer, RWStructuredBuffer, AppendStructuredBuffer, or ConsumeStructuredBuffer in HLSL.

Remarks

If the bind flags contain BindFlags::VertexBuffer, it is not considered a structured buffer since those are mutually exclusive in D3D.

IsTypedBuffer()

LLGL_EXPORT bool LLGL::IsTypedBuffer

(

const BufferDescriptor &

desc

)

Returns true if the buffer descriptor denotes a typed buffer, i.e. Buffer or RWBuffer in HLSL.

Remarks

This requires that the stride is zero, unless the bind flags contain BindFlags::VertexBuffer, since it cam no longer be considered a structured buffer as those are mutually exclusive in D3D.
