From 505a43aff23d0a6b71f89c25fc67f097cfa8c080 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Corbin Simpson Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 12:29:53 -0800 Subject: gallium-docs: Clean up constantbuf info a bit. Hmm, does this belong in context, next to set_constant_buffer? Maybe a paragraph in shaders might be useful. --- src/gallium/docs/source/screen.rst | 47 +++++++++++++++++++------------------- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) (limited to 'src') diff --git a/src/gallium/docs/source/screen.rst b/src/gallium/docs/source/screen.rst index f0833bfe54..39938f7bb7 100644 --- a/src/gallium/docs/source/screen.rst +++ b/src/gallium/docs/source/screen.rst @@ -51,6 +51,11 @@ The integer capabilities: * ``MAX_PREDICATE_REGISTERS``: XXX * ``MAX_COMBINED_SAMPLERS``: The total number of samplers accessible from the vertex and fragment shader, inclusive. +* ``MAX_CONST_BUFFERS``: Maximum number of constant buffers that can be bound + to any shader stage using ``set_constant_buffer``.
