I have a 3D application that use 4 thread with one deferred context each one. The problem is that when I use the deferred context to map (ID3D11DeviceContext::Map) the resource, the variables RowPitch and DepthPitch are equal to 0. I get the pointer to the mapped resource and with the memory inspector I see that it have reserve memory (like a calloc).
I have this problem only with ATI graphic cards.
The following code show where is the problem (part of hieroglyph3 engine):
D3D11_MAPPED_SUBRESOURCE Data;
Data.pData = NULL;
Data.DepthPitch = Data.RowPitch = 0;
if ( nullptr == pGlyphResource ) {
Log::Get().Write( L"Trying to map a subresource that doesn't exist!!!" );
return( Data );
}
// TODO: Update this to use a ComPtr!
// Acquire the native resource pointer.
ID3D11Resource* pResource = 0;
pResource = pGlyphResource->GetResource();
if ( nullptr == pResource ) {
Log::Get().Write( L"Trying to map a subresource that has no native resource in it!!!" );
return( Data );
}
// Perform the mapping of the resource.
// This function must fill Data but it only fill the pointer to the mapped resource
HRESULT hr = m_pContext->Map( pResource, subresource, actions, flags, &Data );
if ( FAILED( hr ) ) {
Log::Get().Write( L"Failed to map resource!" );
}
return( Data );
In hieroglyph3 you can download and test it. The code is in PipeLineManagerDX11.cpp in line 688, you can find the class also check it here
The problem was that in ATI GPUs that function don't fill that variables. This don't happen in NVIDIA GPUs.
The solution is to use NVIDIA GPUs that fill the variables.
