Package org.lwjgl.vulkan

Class EXTInlineUniformBlock

java.lang.Object
org.lwjgl.vulkan.EXTInlineUniformBlock
public final class EXTInlineUniformBlock extends Object
This extension introduces the ability to back uniform blocks directly with descriptor sets by storing inline uniform data within descriptor pool storage. Compared to push constants this new construct allows uniform data to be reused across multiple disjoint sets of drawing or dispatching commands and may enable uniform data to be accessed with fewer indirections compared to uniforms backed by buffer memory.
Promotion to Vulkan 1.3

Vulkan APIs in this extension are included in core Vulkan 1.3, with the EXT suffix omitted. External interactions defined by this extension, such as SPIR-V token names, retain their original names. The original Vulkan API names are still available as aliases of the core functionality.

Vulkan 1.3 adds additional functionality related to this extension in the form of the maxInlineUniformTotalSize limit.
