CreateStaticBuffer

This function creates a static buffer from an existing block of memory.

Syntax

• shared_ptr<Buffer> CreateStaticBuffer(const void* data, const uint64_t size)

Parameters

Returns

Returns a new static buffer.

Remarks

Caution should be exercised when using this command. The buffer cannot be resized and will not free the memory when the buffer is deleted. If the memory block is freed elsewhere while still in use in this buffer it may cause errors.

Example

#include "UltraEngine.h"

using namespace UltraEngine;

int main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
    //Create an object
    Vec3 v = Vec3(1, 2, 3);

    //Create static buffer
    auto buffer = CreateStaticBuffer(&v, sizeof(v));

    //Print out the contents. Make sure the variable v is still in scope when you do this!
    Print(buffer->PeekFloat(offsetof(Vec3, x)));
    Print(buffer->PeekFloat(offsetof(Vec3, y)));
    Print(buffer->PeekFloat(offsetof(Vec3, z)));

    return 0;
