if you created large arrays they probably got sent to LOH and rarely moved

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:07 PM

ah
yeah
since it is texture data

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:08 PM

wait

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:08 PM

this is a problem

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:09 PM

okay gc handles it is i guess
hopefully

Perksey•1/6/23, 10:10 PM

what's wrong with just storing a byte[]byte[] again?

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:10 PM

it needs to be an unmanagedunmanaged type

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:10 PM

hm though

Perksey•1/6/23, 10:10 PM

TechPizza•1/6/23, 10:10 PM

why use an array when you can just make one thicc TextureData<T>

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:10 PM

i might be able to remove that constraint now
i'll test

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:11 PM

i considered that but i'd like it to be friendly for the user
i went the directx route of taking an array of subresourcedata

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:12 PM

yeah i can remove that constraint lol
because my internal createtexture function just takes a pointer to the texturedata struct anyway
it used to be that it took an array which is what necessitated that type constraint

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:16 PM

i think i'll still go the gchandle route though since i'd like textures to be able to use raw pointers if desired

TechPizza•1/6/23, 10:16 PM

a GCHandle can't pin a ref though :)

TechPizza•1/6/23, 10:16 PM

so you have to use a pointer + a construct that can free a GCHandle if array was provided

Perksey•1/6/23, 10:17 PM

i need to figure out the implications of making the vast majority of structs in Silk.NET a ref struct tbf

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:17 PM

ok i officially hate garbage collected languages
why is this so much pain
i just want to store a pointer to some data lmao

TechPizza•1/6/23, 10:17 PM

then just use a pointer when

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:19 PM

b-but that's what i was doing

basically

struct TextureData {
  void* DataPointer:
}

public Texture CreateTexture(blah stuff, TextureData* datas);

struct TextureData {
  void* DataPointer:
}

public Texture CreateTexture(blah stuff, TextureData* datas);

is the gist of what i'm doing
while i'd like the user to be able to use byte[]byte[] and whatnot, i'd like to internally store it all as raw pointers
which i seem to be making an absolute mess of

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:20 PM

but i'm guessing that's not something you can easily do without resorting to spans and ref structs
... that i take an array of so i can't do that

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:21 PM

i'm guessing the simple answer is that i can't use pointers for this
which is really heckndarn annoying

TechPizza•1/6/23, 10:22 PM

meh, i wouldn't bother making immutable texture creation methods nice-to-use

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:22 PM

lol, fair enough

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:29 PM

yeah my solution here is to make texturedata managed and if the user wants to use the pointer overloads then it will just take a void*void* so they have to manage it themselves
seems like a decent tradeoff because it still allows the pointer overloads but also allows the nice managed method that most people will use

AquaOP•1/6/23, 10:57 PM

i temporarily solved this problem by removing the pointer overloads entirely because i don't even use them and i'll figure it out another day when i actually care about pointer overloads lol

TTechPizza meh, i wouldn't bother making immutable texture creation methods nice-to-use

Redhacker2•1/7/23, 1:30 AM

That's why I make transparently mutable textures gabe

Redhacker2•1/7/23, 1:30 AM

And then you shit on me for it

TechPizza•1/7/23, 1:31 AM

resizable textures are pain

Redhacker2•1/7/23, 2:00 AM

Horrible to use APIs are pain

TTechPizza resizable textures are pain

Redhacker2•1/7/23, 2:01 AM

We're at an impasse

flyke•1/7/23, 2:20 AM

If use custom class for textures to store all pointers, id, name, gabage collector will not delete instances of such class and pointers will be not affected. Or I didnt understend the issue?
Some day I will lean how to load textured mesh with C#

Now only theory

flyke•1/7/23, 3:49 PM

Maybe anyone knows, how to use antialiasing with Silky.Nvg?
The heart image - it is the PNG texture which is 1000px in size, but rendered on screen in small size 100px and has visible jagged edges.
