NAME
glTextureBarrier - controls the ordering of reads and writes to rendered fragments across drawing commands
C SPECIFICATION
-
void glTextureBarrier(void);
DESCRIPTION
The values of rendered fragments are undefined when a shader stage fetches texels and the same texels are written via fragment shader outputs, even if the reads and writes are not in the same drawing command. To safely read the result of a written texel via a texel fetch in a subsequent drawing command, call
glTextureBarrier
between the two drawing commands to guarantee that writes have completed and caches have been invalidated before subsequent drawing commands are executed.
NOTES
The situation described above is referred to as a
rendering feedback loop
and is discussed in more detail in section 9.3 of the OpenGL 4.5 Specification.
ERRORS
None.
