To reduce overhead, - * a single BO is used to record the query data for all active queries at - * once. This also gives us a simple bound on how much batchbuffer space is - * required for handling queries, so that we can be sure that we won't - * have to emit a batchbuffer without getting the ending PS_DEPTH_COUNT. + * The hardware provides a PIPE_CONTROL command that can report the number of + * fragments that passed the depth test, or the hardware timer. They are + * appropriately synced with the stage of the pipeline for our extensions' + * needs. + * + * To avoid getting samples from another context's rendering in our results, + * we capture the counts at the start and end of every batchbuffer while the + * query is active, and sum up the differences. (We should do so for + * GL_TIME_ELAPSED as well, but don't). */ #include "main/imports.h" |
