NAME
glBeginQuery - delimit the boundaries of a query object
C SPECIFICATION
void glBeginQuery(GLenum target, GLuint id);
PARAMETERS
target
Specifies the target type of query object established between
glBeginQuery and the subsequent glEndQuery(). The symbolic constant
must be one of GL_SAMPLES_PASSED, GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED,
GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED_CONSERVATIVE, GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED,
GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_PRIMITIVES_WRITTEN, or GL_TIME_ELAPSED.
id
Specifies the name of a query object.
C SPECIFICATION
void glEndQuery(GLenum target);
PARAMETERS
target
Specifies the target type of query object to be concluded. The
symbolic constant must be one of GL_SAMPLES_PASSED,
GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED, GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED_CONSERVATIVE,
GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED, GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_PRIMITIVES_WRITTEN,
or GL_TIME_ELAPSED.
DESCRIPTION
glBeginQuery and glEndQuery() delimit the boundaries of a query object.
query must be a name previously returned from a call to glGenQueries().
If a query object with name id does not yet exist it is created with
the type determined by target. target must be one of
GL_SAMPLES_PASSED, GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED, GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED,
GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_PRIMITIVES_WRITTEN, or GL_TIME_ELAPSED. The
behavior of the query object depends on its type and is as follows.
If target is GL_SAMPLES_PASSED, id must be an unused name, or the name
of an existing occlusion query object. When glBeginQuery is executed,
the query object's samples-passed counter is reset to 0. Subsequent
rendering will increment the counter for every sample that passes the
depth test. If the value of GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS is 0, then the
samples-passed count is incremented by 1 for each fragment. If the
value of GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS is 1, then the samples-passed count is
incremented by the number of samples whose coverage bit is set.
However, implementations, at their discression may instead increase the
samples-passed count by the value of GL_SAMPLES if any sample in the
fragment is covered. When glEndQuery is executed, the samples-passed
counter is assigned to the query object's result value. This value can
be queried by calling glGetQueryObject() with pname GL_QUERY_RESULT.
If target is GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED or
GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED_CONSERVATIVE, id must be an unused name, or the
name of an existing boolean occlusion query object. When glBeginQuery
is executed, the query object's samples-passed flag is reset to
GL_FALSE. Subsequent rendering causes the flag to be set to GL_TRUE if
any sample passes the depth test in the case of GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED,
or if the implementation determines that any sample might pass the
depth test in the case of GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED_CONSERVATIVE. The
implementation may be able to provide a more efficient test in the case
of GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED_CONSERVATIVE if some false positives are
acceptable to the application. When glEndQuery is executed, the
samples-passed flag is assigned to the query object's result value.
This value can be queried by calling glGetQueryObject() with pname
GL_QUERY_RESULT.
If target is GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED, id must be an unused name, or the
name of an existing primitive query object previously bound to the
GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED query binding. When glBeginQuery is executed,
the query object's primitives-generated counter is reset to 0.
Subsequent rendering will increment the counter once for every vertex
that is emitted from the geometry shader, or from the vertex shader if
no geometry shader is present. When glEndQuery is executed, the
primitives-generated counter is assigned to the query object's result
value. This value can be queried by calling glGetQueryObject() with
pname GL_QUERY_RESULT.
If target is GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_PRIMITIVES_WRITTEN, id must be an
unused name, or the name of an existing primitive query object
previously bound to the GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_PRIMITIVES_WRITTEN query
binding. When glBeginQuery is executed, the query object's
primitives-written counter is reset to 0. Subsequent rendering will
increment the counter once for every vertex that is written into the
bound transform feedback buffer(s). If transform feedback mode is not
activated between the call to glBeginQuery and glEndQuery, the counter
will not be incremented. When glEndQuery is executed, the
primitives-written counter is assigned to the query object's result
value. This value can be queried by calling glGetQueryObject() with
pname GL_QUERY_RESULT.
If target is GL_TIME_ELAPSED, id must be an unused name, or the name of
an existing timer query object previously bound to the GL_TIME_ELAPSED
query binding. When glBeginQuery is executed, the query object's time
counter is reset to 0. When glEndQuery is executed, the elapsed server
time that has passed since the call to glBeginQuery is written into the
query object's time counter. This value can be queried by calling
glGetQueryObject() with pname GL_QUERY_RESULT.
Querying the GL_QUERY_RESULT implicitly flushes the GL pipeline until
the rendering delimited by the query object has completed and the
result is available. GL_QUERY_RESULT_AVAILABLE can be queried to
determine if the result is immediately available or if the rendering is
not yet complete.
NOTES
If the query target's count exceeds the maximum value representable in
the number of available bits, as reported by glGetQueryiv() with target
set to the appropriate query target and pname GL_QUERY_COUNTER_BITS,
the count becomes undefined.
An implementation may support 0 bits in its counter, in which case
query results are always undefined and essentially useless.
When GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS is 0, the samples-passed counter of an occlusion
query will increment once for each fragment that passes the depth test.
When GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS is 1, an implementation may either increment the
samples-passed counter individually for each sample of a fragment that
passes the depth test, or it may choose to increment the counter for
all samples of a fragment if any one of them passes the depth test.
The query targets GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED, and GL_TIME_ELAPSED are
availale only if the GL version is 3.3 or higher.
The query target GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED_CONSERVATIVE is available only
of the GL version is 4.3 or higher.
ERRORS
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if target is not one of the accepted
tokens.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glBeginQuery is executed while a
query object of the same target is already active.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glEndQuery() is executed when a
query object of the same target is not active.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if id is 0.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if id is the name of an already
active query object.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if id refers to an existing query
object whose type does not does not match target.
