💖 SDL_GPUBufferRegion 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL_GPUBufferRegion(3type) page — it lives in the SDL3 DATATYPES corner of the manual and it's literally just a lil struct that points at a chunk of a buffer. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_GPUBufferRegion — a structure specifying a region of a buffer. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's giving "here's a slice of my buffer, bestie". 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_gpu.h>

typedef struct SDL_GPUBufferRegion
{
    SDL_GPUBuffer *buffer;  /**< The buffer. */
    Uint32 offset;          /**< The starting byte within the buffer. */
    Uint32 size;            /**< The size in bytes of the region. */
} SDL_GPUBufferRegion;

so like, three fields, all iconic in their own way:

  • buffer — the buffer. the actual SDL_GPUBuffer * we're talking about. main character energy, honestly. 👑
  • offset — a Uint32, the starting byte within the buffer. where our region begins, fr fr.
  • size — a Uint32, the size in bytes of the region. how much of it we're grabbing. periodt. 💅

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

Used when transferring data to or from buffers.

like… that's the whole thing bestie. you use this when data is moving to a buffer or from a buffer. it's the lil rectangle you draw on the buffer and say "this part, right here, this is the one". ✨

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

this struct is available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on anything older, it's not there and you're gonna have a bad time 😭. upgrade, bestie.
