Variable documentation

DEVICE_FEATURE_STATE Diligent::DeviceFeatures::SeparablePrograms

Indicates if device supports separable shader programs.

DEVICE_FEATURE_STATE Diligent::DeviceFeatures::ShaderResourceQueries

Indicates if device supports resource queries from shader objects.

\ note This feature indicates if IShader::GetResourceCount() and IShader::GetResourceDesc() methods can be used to query the list of resources of individual shader objects. Shader variable queries from pipeline state and shader resource binding objects are always available.

The feature is always enabled in Direct3D11, Direct3D12 and Vulkan. It is enabled in OpenGL when separable programs are available, and it is always disabled in Metal.

DEVICE_FEATURE_STATE Diligent::DeviceFeatures::ShaderFloat16

Indicates if device supports native 16-bit float operations. Note that there are separate features that indicate if device supports loading 16-bit floats from buffers and passing them between shader stages.

DEVICE_FEATURE_STATE Diligent::DeviceFeatures::ShaderResourceRuntimeArray

Indicates if device supports runtime-sized shader arrays (e.g. arrays without a specific size).
