Name

glBufferStorage — creates and initializes a buffer object's immutable data store

C Specification

void glBufferStorage(GLenum target,
 GLsizeiptr size,
 const GLvoid * data,
 GLbitfield flags);
 

Parameters

target

Specifies the target buffer object. The symbolic constant must be GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, GL_ATOMIC_COUNTER_BUFFER, GL_COPY_READ_BUFFER, GL_COPY_WRITE_BUFFER, GL_DRAW_INDIRECT_BUFFER, GL_DISPATCH_INDIRECT_BUFFER, GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER, GL_PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER, GL_QUERY_BUFFER, GL_SHADER_STORAGE_BUFFER, GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER, GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER, or GL_UNIFORM_BUFFER.

size

Specifies the size in bytes of the buffer object's new data store.

data

Specifies a pointer to data that will be copied into the data store for initialization, or NULL if no data is to be copied.

flags

Specifies the intended usage of the buffer's data store. Must be a bitwise combination of the following flags. GL_DYNAMIC_STORAGE_BIT, GL_MAP_READ_BIT GL_MAP_WRITE_BIT, GL_MAP_PERSISTENT_BIT, GL_MAP_COHERENT_BIT, and GL_CLIENT_STORAGE_BIT.

Description

glBufferStorage creates a new immutable data store for the buffer object currently bound to target. The size of the data store is specified by size. If an initial data is available, its address may be supplied in data. Otherwise, to create an uninitialized data store, data should be NULL.

The flags parameters specifies the intended usage of the buffer's data store. It must be a bitwise combination of a subset of the following flags:

GL_DYNAMIC_STORAGE_BIT

The contents of the data store may be updated after creation through calls to glBufferSubData. If this bit is not set, the buffer content may not be directly updated by the client. The data argument may be used to specify the initial content of the buffer's data store regardless of the presence of the GL_DYNAMIC_STORAGE_BIT. Regardless of the presence of this bit, buffers may always be updated with server-side calls such as glCopyBufferSubData and glClearBufferSubData.

GL_MAP_READ_BIT

The data store may be mapped by the client for read access and a pointer in the client's address space obtained that may be read from.

GL_MAP_WRITE_BIT

The data store may be mapped by the client for write access and a pointer in the client's address space obtained that may be written through.

GL_MAP_PERSISTENT_BIT

The client may request that the server read from or write to the buffer while it is mapped. The client's pointer to the data store remains valid so long as the data store is mapped, even during execution of drawing or dispatch commands.

GL_MAP_COHERENT_BIT

Shared access to buffers that are simultaneously mapped for client access and are used by the server will be coherent, so long as that mapping is performed using glMapBufferRange. That is, data written to the store by either the client or server will be immediately visible to the other with no further action taken by the application. In particular,

GL_CLIENT_STORAGE_BIT

The allowed combinations of flags are subject to certain restrictions. They are as follows:

  • If flags contains GL_MAP_PERSISTENT_BIT, it must also contain at least one of GL_MAP_READ_BIT or GL_MAP_WRITE_BIT.

  • If flags contains GL_MAP_COHERENT_BIT, it must also contain GL_MAP_PERSISTENT_BIT.

Notes

glBufferStorage is available only if the GL version is 4.4 or greater.

If data is NULL, a data store of the specified size is still created, but its contents remain uninitialized and thus undefined.

Errors

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if target is not one of the accepted buffer targets.

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if size is less than or equal to zero.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if the reserved buffer object name 0 is bound to target.

GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY is generated if the GL is unable to create a data store with the properties requested in flags.

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if flags has any bits set other than those defined above.

GL_INVALID_VALUE error is generated if flags contains GL_MAP_PERSISTENT_BIT but does not contain at least one of GL_MAP_READ_BIT or GL_MAP_WRITE_BIT.

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if flags contains GL_MAP_COHERENT_BIT, but does not also contain GL_MAP_PERSISTENT_BIT.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if the GL_BUFFER_IMMUTABLE_STORAGE flag of the buffer bound to target is GL_TRUE.
