A good way to think about a buffer or an image descriptor is to imagine it as a very fat pointer. This is, in fact, not too far removed from reality, as we shall see.

Taking a peek at radv, we find the uniform buffer and storage buffer descriptors to be a 4-word tuple, where the first two words make up the address, followed by length in bytes for bounds checking and an extra word, which holds format information and bounds checking behavior [^1].

Similarly, the sampled image descriptor is a 16-word tuple containing an

Minimal D3D11

Minimal D3D11 reference implementation: An uncluttered Direct3D 11 setup + basic rendering primer and API familiarizer. Complete, runnable Windows application contained in a single function and laid out in a linear, step-by-step fashion that should be easy to follow from the code alone. ~200 LOC. No modern C++, OOP or (other) obscuring cruft. View on YouTube

Also check out Minimal D3D11 pt2, reconfigured for instanced rendering and with a smaller, tighter, simplified overall code structure, or Minimal D3D11 pt3, with shadowmapping + showcasing a range of alternative setup and rendering techniques.

Rich Already Answered That!

A list of commonly asked questions, design decisions, reasons why Clojure is the way it is as they were answered directly by Rich (even when from many years ago, those answers are pretty much valid today!). Feel free to point friends and colleagues here next time they ask (again). Answers are pasted verbatim (I've made small adjustments for readibility, but never changed a sentence) from mailing lists, articles, chats.

How to use:
