Add USAGE_DYNAMIC support to DynamicBuffer #598

Closed edunad closed 3 months ago

edunad commented 3 months ago

Tested using

    Diligent::BufferDesc VBDesc;
    VBDesc.Name = "RawrBox::Buffer:IMGUI::VERTEX";
    VBDesc.BindFlags = Diligent::BIND_VERTEX_BUFFER;
    VBDesc.Size = 1024 * sizeof(ImDrawVert);
    VBDesc.Usage = Diligent::USAGE_DYNAMIC;
    VBDesc.CPUAccessFlags = Diligent::CPU_ACCESS_WRITE;

    Diligent::DynamicBufferCreateInfo dynamicBuff;
    dynamicBuff.Desc = VBDesc;

    _pVB = std::make_unique<Diligent::DynamicBuffer>(renderer.device(), dynamicBuff);

Then resizing it later

uint64_t vtxSize = sizeof(ImDrawVert) * data->TotalVtxCount;
if (vtxSize > _pVB->GetDesc().Size) {
    _pVB->Resize(device, context, sizeof(ImDrawVert) * static_cast<uint64_t>(data->TotalVtxCount), true);
}

Had no issues, the only enforced require is discarding the content on resize, not sure if it's possible to copy it over

This is invalid usage of the DynamicBuffer, which is intended to store persistent data of varying size. USAGE_DYNAMIC buffers are intended to keep small amount of temporary data that is only accessed during a single frame.
