StorageMode class final

Where an allocation lives and how it may be used.

A class with constants rather than an enum, so a value added in a minor release does not break a switch written against it: name is what a file or a snapshot writes, and byName reads it back.

Properties

hashCode → int

The hash code for this object.

no setter, inherited

name → String

The stable name, and the wire name: what a file, a report or a snapshot writes for this value. Never renamed within a major.

final

runtimeType → Type

A representation of the runtime type of the object.

no setter, inherited

Methods

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.

inherited

toString() → String

A string representation of this object.

override

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool

The equality operator.

Static Methods

byName(String name) → StorageMode?

The value called name, or null for a name this version does not know, which is what a file written by a later version can carry.

Constants

devicePrivate → const StorageMode

Device-only. Optimal for the device; the host must copy through a host-visible allocation to read it.

deviceTransient → const StorageMode

Tile memory, for temporary render targets. Higher bandwidth, lower power, and no separate device allocation — but it cannot be copied to or from, which is what rules it out for anything a later pass reads. Textures only.

hostVisible → const StorageMode

Mappable into the host's address space and usable by the device.

values → const List<StorageMode>

Every value this version names, in declaration order. A later version appends; nothing is removed or renamed within a major.
