<para>
|
|
<function>glBindBuffer</function> binds a buffer object to the specified buffer binding point. Calling <function>glBindBuffer</function> with
|
|
<parameter>target</parameter> set to one of the accepted symbolic constants and <parameter>buffer</parameter> set to the name
|
|
of a buffer object binds that buffer object name to the target. If no buffer object with name <parameter>buffer</parameter>
|
|
exists, one is created with that name. When a buffer object is bound to a target, the previous binding for that
|
|
target is automatically broken.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Buffer object names are unsigned integers. The value zero is reserved, but
|
|
there is no default buffer object for each buffer object target. Instead, <parameter>buffer</parameter> set to zero
|
|
effectively unbinds any buffer object previously bound, and restores client memory usage for that buffer object target (if supported for that target).
|
|
Buffer object names and the corresponding buffer object contents are local to
|
|
the shared object space of the current
|
|
GL rendering context;
|
|
two rendering contexts share buffer object names only if they
|
|
explicitly enable sharing between contexts through the appropriate GL windows interfaces functions.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGenBuffers</refentrytitle></citerefentry> must be used to generate a set of unused buffer object names.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The state of a buffer object immediately after it is first bound is an unmapped zero-sized memory buffer with
|
|
<constant>GL_READ_WRITE</constant> access and <constant>GL_STATIC_DRAW</constant> usage.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
While a non-zero buffer object name is bound, GL operations on the target to which it is
|
|
bound affect the bound buffer object, and queries of the target to which it is bound return state
|
|
from the bound buffer object. While buffer object name zero is bound, as in the initial state,
|
|
attempts to modify or query state on the target to which it is bound generates an
|
|
<constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> error.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
When a non-zero buffer object is bound to the <constant>GL_ARRAY_BUFFER</constant> target,
|
|
the vertex array pointer parameter is interpreted as an offset within the
|
|
buffer object measured in basic machine units.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
While a non-zero buffer object is bound to the <constant>GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER</constant> target,
|
|
the indices parameter of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawElementsInstanced</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawElementsBaseVertex</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawRangeElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,

|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawRangeElementsBaseVertex</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMultiDrawElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, or
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMultiDrawElementsBaseVertex</refentrytitle></citerefentry> is interpreted as an
|
|
offset within the buffer object measured in basic machine units.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
While a non-zero buffer object is bound to the <constant>GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER</constant> target,
|
|
the following commands are affected: <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGetCompressedTexImage</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGetTexImage</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, and
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glReadPixels</refentrytitle></citerefentry>. The pointer parameter is
|
|
interpreted as an offset within the buffer object measured in basic machine units.

<para>
|

While a non-zero buffer object is bound to the <constant>GL_PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER</constant> target,

the following commands are affected:

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glCompressedTexImage1D</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,

|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glTexSubImage1D</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,

|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glTexSubImage2D</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, and
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glTexSubImage3D</refentrytitle></citerefentry>. The pointer parameter is
|
|
interpreted as an offset within the buffer object measured in basic machine units.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The buffer targets <constant>GL_COPY_READ_BUFFER</constant> and <constant>GL_COPY_WRITE_BUFFER</constant>
|
|
are provided to allow <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glCopyBufferSubData</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
|
|
to be used without disturbing the state of other bindings. However, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glCopyBufferSubData</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
|
|
may be used with any pair of buffer binding points.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The <constant>GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER</constant> buffer binding point may be passed to <function>glBindBuffer</function>,
|
|
but will not directly affect transform feedback state. Instead, the indexed <constant>GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER</constant>
|
|
bindings must be used through a call to <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBindBufferBase</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
|
|
or <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBindBufferRange</refentrytitle></citerefentry>. This will affect the generic
|
|
<constant>GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDABCK_BUFFER</constant> binding.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Likewise, the <constant>GL_UNIFORM_BUFFER</constant> buffer binding point may be used, but does not directly affect
|
|
uniform buffer state. <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBindBufferBase</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
|
|
or <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBindBufferRange</refentrytitle></citerefentry> must be used to bind a buffer to
|
|
an indexed uniform buffer binding point.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
A buffer object binding created with <function>glBindBuffer</function> remains active until a different
|
|
buffer object name is bound to the same target, or until the bound buffer object is
|
|
deleted with <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDeleteBuffers</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Once created, a named buffer object may be re-bound to any target as often as needed. However,
|
|
the GL implementation may make choices about how to optimize the storage of a buffer object based
|
|
on its initial binding target.
