}Expand description
Base trait for all WGSL host-shareable types
Provided Methods§
Sourcefn min_size() -> NonZero<u64>
fn min_size() -> NonZero<u64>
Represents the minimum size of Self (equivalent to GPUBufferBindingLayout.minBindingSize)
For WGSL fixed-footprint types
it represents WGSL Size
(equivalent to ShaderSize::SHADER_SIZE)
For WGSL runtime-sized arrays and WGSL structs containing runtime-sized arrays (non fixed-footprint types) this will be calculated by assuming the array has one element
Sourcefn size(&self) -> NonZero<u64>
fn size(&self) -> NonZero<u64>
Returns the size of Self at runtime
For WGSL fixed-footprint types
it’s equivalent to Self::min_size and ShaderSize::SHADER_SIZE
Sourcefn assert_uniform_compat()
fn assert_uniform_compat()
Asserts that Self meets the requirements of the
uniform address space restrictions on stored values and the
uniform address space layout constraints
§Examples
§Array
Will panic since runtime-sized arrays are not compatible with the uniform address space restrictions on stored values
<Vec<mint::Vector4<f32>>>::assert_uniform_compat();Will panic since the stride is 4 bytes
<[f32; 2]>::assert_uniform_compat();Will not panic since the stride is 16 bytes
<[mint::Vector4<f32>; 2]>::assert_uniform_compat();§Struct
Will panic since runtime-sized arrays are not compatible with the uniform address space restrictions on stored values
#[derive(ShaderType)]
struct Invalid {
#[size(runtime)]
vec: Vec<mint::Vector4<f32>>
}
Invalid::assert_uniform_compat();Will panic since the inner struct’s size must be a multiple of 16
#[derive(ShaderType)]
struct S {
x: f32,
}
#[derive(ShaderType)]
struct Invalid {
a: f32,
b: S, // offset between fields 'a' and 'b' must be at least 16 (currently: 4)
}
Invalid::assert_uniform_compat();Will not panic (fixed via align attribute)
#[derive(ShaderType)]
struct Valid {
a: f32,
#[align(16)]
b: S,
}
Valid::assert_uniform_compat();Will not panic (fixed via size attribute)
#[derive(ShaderType)]
struct Valid {
#[size(16)]
a: f32,
b: S,
}
Valid::assert_uniform_compat();Dyn Compatibility§
This trait is not dyn compatible.
In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
