Candera Engine Base

Resource Objects.

Large data buffers that need to be uploaded or that are rarely used are not longer directly stored in DeviceObject objects. Instead, a ResourceDataHandle structure is stored, which can consist of one of :

  • pointer to existing data, pointer to disposer function and size (backward compatible)
  • information on where data can be found in asset and size
  • custom information for custom ResourceProviders.

ResourceObjects are objects that guarantee that during their lifetime, data referenced by a ResourceDataHandle is available.

Bitmap Resource Objects.

The pixel buffer is stored in the new ResourceDataHandle structure. See migration guide for an example on how it can be used.

Introduce C++ keyword override in Candera

In a method declaration, override specifies that the function must be overriding a base class method.

The keyword override is part of C++ 11 standard and supported by MSVC 11 and gcc 4.7. It helps to prevent unintentional newly created functions, e.g. due to typos, that are intended to override virtual base function.
