rtcCommitBuffer(3)

💖 NAME 💖

rtcCommitBuffer — bestie, this is the one that pushes your buffer content from the host over to the device ✨ like physically moving your stuff from your room to your other room, no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <embree4/rtcore.h>

void rtcCommitBuffer(RTCBuffer buffer);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the tea 🍵 if your buffer got made with rtcNewBufferHostDevice, then rtcCommitBuffer is the function that commits your changes to the host buffer data over to the device. That's literally its whole job. Iconic of her honestly 💅

But lowkey — you do not need this call at all if your buffer was created with a non-SYCL Embree device. So if that's you? You can just… not. Skip it. It's giving "not applicable to your situation" 🙈

Now, when you do call rtcCommitBuffer, it internally spins up a temporary SYCL queue and then waits for the memory copy to finish before it moves on 🧚 so it's a "hold on, I'm not done yet" kind of situation. And if you don't wanna sit around waiting, bestie, the function rtcCommitBufferWithQueue is right there — use that one to asyncronously copy the data to the device instead 🔥

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

If something goes wrong 😭 an error code gets set, and you can go query it using rtcGetDeviceError. So like, go check on it. Ask her how she's feeling. She'll tell you.
