An application using external memory may wish to synchronize access to that
|
|
memory using semaphores.
|
|
This extension enables an application to export semaphore payload to and
|
|
import semaphore payload from POSIX file descriptors.
|
|
|
|

|
|
* ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_SEMAPHORE_GET_FD_INFO_KHR

|
=== New Enums
|

|
=== New Structs

|
=== Issues
|
|
|
|
1) Does the application need to close the file descriptor returned by
|
|
flink:vkGetSemaphoreFdKHR?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: Yes, unless it is passed back in to a driver instance to import
|
|
the semaphore.
|
|
A successful get call transfers ownership of the file descriptor to the
|
|
application, and a successful import transfers it back to the driver.
|
|
Destroying the original semaphore object will not close the file descriptor
|
|
or remove its reference to the underlying semaphore resource associated with
|
|
it.
