Hi!
I’ve a first shader which writes fragments to an SSBO and a second shader which read it.
glMemoryBarrier doesn’t work because it wait that the values of the SSBO are visible in memory but it can have several writes for a single fragment because this is a linked list and I need the second shader executes only when all fragments are written to the SSBO and not only the first one.
So I want to do this : telling to opengl that everything is drawn in the first pass before going to the shader of the second pass. The problem is that the draw function executes in parallel with the second draw function and I doesn’t want to do that, I want that the first draw function have finished to execute before going to the shader of the second pass : I tried glFinish, glSynch objects but it doesn’t work.
Here is some code :
frameBuffer.setActive();
currentStates.blendMode = sf::BlendAlpha;
currentStates.shader=&perPixelLinkedList;
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < m_instances.size(); i++) {
if (m_instances[i].getAllVertices().getVertexCount() > 0) {
if (m_instances[i].getMaterial().getTexture() == nullptr) {
perPixelLinkedList.setParameter("haveTexture", 0.f);
} else {
perPixelLinkedList.setParameter("haveTexture", 1.f);
}
currentStates.texture = m_instances[i].getMaterial().getTexture();
frameBuffer.draw(m_instances[i].getAllVertices(), currentStates);
}
}
//glCheck(glTextureBarrier());
glCheck(glFinish());
glCheck(glMemoryBarrier(GL_SHADER_STORAGE_BARRIER_BIT | GL_TEXTURE_FETCH_BARRIER_BIT));
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT );
currentStates.shader = &perPixelLinkedListP2;
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < m_instances.size(); i++) {
if (m_instances[i].getAllVertices().getVertexCount() > 0) {
frameBuffer.draw(m_instances[i].getAllVertices(), currentStates);
}
}
//glCheck(glDepthMask(GL_TRUE));
//currentStates.shader = nullptr;
//quad.setCenter(frameBuffer.getView().getPosition());
//frameBuffer.draw(quad, currentStates);
glCheck(glFinish());
frameBuffer.display();
And my shaders :
