dispose method

@override void dispose()

Releases every persistent resource this device holds — the textures and geometry buffers handed out by createTexture, createTextureFromPixels, createCubeTextureFromPixels and uploadGeometry.

What "release" means is a property of the backend, not a promise this method makes uniformly. WebGL2 objects are explicitly deletable — a WebGLTexture or WebGLBuffer the driver is still holding onto is a real leak, not a GC artefact — so that backend actually calls gl.deleteTexture and friends here. flutter_gpu's Texture has no native dispose at all; see the note at GpuRenderBackend.supportsCubeTextures for why letting one go out of scope is the only release path that backend has, which makes its implementation of this method a deliberate no-op rather than an omission. The software rasteriser holds nothing but Dart lists, which the garbage collector already reclaims, so its implementation is a no-op for a third, unrelated reason.

Call once, when the device is being torn down. Nothing here promises safe reuse afterwards — a disposed device's handles are no longer valid on backends that actually freed them.

Implementation

@override
void dispose() => disposed = true;
