SDL_BINDGPUFRAGMENTSTORAGETEXTURES(3)

💅 SDL_BindGPUFragmentStorageTextures 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS corner of the man pages, where we're talking about SDL_BindGPUFragmentStorageTextures — the girl whose whole job is hooking your storage textures up to the fragment shader. she's giving backstage pass energy. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_BindGPUFragmentStorageTextures — Binds storage textures for use on the fragment shader.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <SDL3/SDL_gpu.h>

void SDL_BindGPUFragmentStorageTextures(
    SDL_GPURenderPass *render_pass,
    Uint32 first_slot,
    SDL_GPUTexture *const *storage_textures,
    Uint32 num_bindings);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓 — these textures must have been created with SDL_GPU_TEXTUREUSAGE_GRAPHICS_STORAGE_READ. that's not a suggestion, that's the vibe check, and they have to pass it.

the textures you're binding also need a matching type declared in the shader (2D, 3D, 2DMS, etc.). like, your shader has to actually be expecting the shape you're handing it. mismatched types? it's giving chaos. 💀

and fr fr, be sure your shader is set up according to the requirements documented in SDL_CreateGPUShader(). that's the main character of this whole storyline, iykyk.

• render_pass — a render pass handle. the venue for the whole operation 💅
• first_slot — the fragment storage texture slot to begin binding from. where in the lineup we start, no cap.
• storage_textures — an array of storage textures. the whole squad, in order. 🫶
• num_bindings — the number of storage textures to bind from the array. how many besties are actually walking in. ✨

ngl, if you skip the SDL_CreateGPUShader() docs you are setting yourself up. don't do that to yourself, bestie. 😭
